JORDAN MICHAEL STEPHENSON Tribute

Jordan MichaeL, my precious little boy, was born June 17th, 2006, spent almost 8 months with us here, then went back to be with the Lord February 3rd, 2007. There are no words to express my grief, pain and loss. I long for the day when I can hold him again. However, there are also no words to convey the joy, pride, total adoration and utter awe I found and have just for knowing him...

Please take a look at his photo gallery. It makes a mommy happy to be able to show off her little boy. Especially as gorgeous as my little man is!

I REMEMBER

The baby boy
Babysitting on the weekends
His first toy
How he liked to play with my hair
His cute little grin.

I REMEMBER
Smiling
How he sat like Buddha
The time we spend learning to crawl
The joy of holding an infant
Beautiful boy

I REMEMBER
The last weekend with him
The pictures taken of him only weeks before
The horrible call
My mom rushing off to the hospital
The never-ending wait for some news

I REMEMBER
The funeral
Sad faces
Beautiful flowers draped in sorrow
The murmur of hushed crying and the feeling of grief
Mourning

I REMEMBER
The visit to his mother
How she felt sorry for putting us through pain
Her feeling of blame toward herself
My father's comforting hug
Our feeling of closure

I REMEMBER...MY BABY COUSIN JORDAN.
