ALEX BAUER

Baby Alex...our sweet and precious angel...went home to be with Jesus on April 8, 2005 in the arms of his mommy and with his hands around his daddy's. We were blessed to have Alex with us for 6 months and to have witnessed such miracles through his life. We now have a special angel watching over us, as we finish out our time here on earth. We look forward to the day we will see him again.

Happy Birthday Sweet Angel!

Nine years ago you were ready to come into this world way too early, so you and mommy laid in bed for quite a few weeks so you could grow and get those chubby cheeks all set. You were a stubborn baby who went by your own plans. I thank you, though, for being born when you were. Mommy couldn't wait much longer to hold you and meet you face-to-face. We had good times together, didn't we....

But my arms still ache to hold you and my heart has an emptiness inside of it that just won't go away. I know that's because you took a piece of my heart with you to heaven.....while leaving a part of you in me. We're forever bonded together, you and I, mother and son, and nothing can come between that.

I'm thankful for every moment I got to spend with you~and even though I would do anything to have you with me again, I know you are happy and are healed...and that's all that matters now. I know you're singing with the angels and are talking a mile a minute. You didn't say a single word during your time on earth, but I'm guessing you had a lot you wanted to say. I can't wait to hear it all. :)

Your brothers and daddy miss you terribly....but they continue to keep you alive in our home and family. Dominic is so excited to tell his teacher and friends that it's his brother's birthday today. He's so proud that he has another big brother~he just wants to meet you so badly. He looks for you in the clouds and he tries to guess where you live. It's confusing for a young boy, but he understands he will see you one day. The day you two meet, is one I wouldn't want to miss for anything! I hope I can witness it.

Today will be hard for mommy because I miss you so much. It's okay if you see me crying, though, because that's just what mommy does when she's sad. That's nothing to be ashamed of. I will be thinking of you, remembering you and your precious, perfect face, and will eventually smile again when I think of those gummy grins you gave us, even while that disease was taking over your tiny body. You amaze me, Alex. You're stronger than I could ever be.

I will never forget your special day and I will celebrate as long as I am able. Remember last year when God gave me those fireworks just when I needed it the most? I'm curious to see how He will comfort me this year. I'm sure you already know!

I love you more than words could ever say....and I can't wait to see you again. Until then, I'll praise God that he allowed us to meet you and allowed you to be part of our family. We are so blessed.

Imagining you celebrating with Jesus....what a sight that would be.

Missing you, baby Alex....

Mommy
