Headstone for Child
“The happiest day of my life was the day that Cade was born. The saddest day of my life was the day that Cade died. I miss him every single day. I miss the way he used to laugh when Grandpa or I played peekaboo with him. I miss the smell of his hair right after his evening bath. I miss his warm snuggle when I read him his favorite bedtime story. I was home with him 24/7. Cade was my sunshine; my only sunshine. He was the only child I’ve ever had. Cade has now been gone for just a few months and if I am honest, I still have a lot of really sad days. I stopped working to stay home with him because I knew that I’d only have him for a few short years. I could not afford to give him everything that I wanted to give him. I am so touched that you provided a grave marker for my sweet boy. I will never forget him and I didn’t want his life to be forgotten. He deserves for his name to be etched in stone like everybody else. I needed a place to go to be with him. A place that was his and mine.”
Melanie, Cade’s Mom
