Moments

Yesterday afternoon, Hugh and I made the hardest decision that any parent has to make.  We decided to let Tripp go.

We got to hold our baby, rock our baby, sing to our baby, and be caregivers for our baby for 13 hours.

At 6 am this morning he was welcomed into the arms of God.  We feel good knowing he will be looked over by my Grandpa Vince and Hugh's Grandma Margaret.

This was the hardest and saddest day of our lives, but it also contains some of the best moments of our lives.

Thank you for all your messages, texts and comments.  You will never know how much they meant to us over the course of the last 5 days.

We felt loved.  Tripp felt loved.

  4. Dear Jordan and Hugh and Calder,
    I have been following from far your journey with Tripp. May you find comfort in knowing that he has surely been welcomed into the loving arms of our God, arms that ressemble so very much the arms that held him closely for 13 hours and loved him deeply as only a mother and father can. I am sure that when he experienced the joy of the love of God he felt he had already tasted it in those hours he spent with you. May our God be your comfort and strength as you help one another during this difficult time. Praying with you and for you, Sr Claudette Casavant

    Words cannot begin to express how saddened we are to hear the news. Brock and I have been thinking about your family every moment over the past few days. Tripp was lucky to have had spent his last 13 hours in the arms of two people who are so loving and so strong. The loss of a child is one of the hardest things life can throw at anyone, and I am so sorry you guys had to experience this. Please find comfort in knowing that Tripp is happy in heaven and must be one of the cutest Angels up there. Our deepest condolensces go out to you and your family at this time.

    *Hugs*
    Brock and Crystal

    love lifted you. As you brushed against
    this world so gently, you lifted us.
