Melt my heart....
The cutout is similar to what I use for "Nicholas'" Angel Wings.

From Brother, Evan (6 years old)
NICHOLAS WARREN REEVES
OUR SWEET ANGEL BABY
NOVEMBER 7, 2008
Dear Mommy and Daddy,
Before we said our first hello,
The time had already passed.
For when you held me in your arms,
I had gone to heaven to rest.
I felt angelic tears down my cheeks,
And I watched you as you wept.
I wish I could have changed it all,
Your tears touched my soul so deep
But mommy & daddy when you are sad,
Please be assured I know.
For death cannot take away your love,
It will only continue to grow.
When you are feeling far away,
And missing me so much.
Close your eyes and feel my wings,
Their soft and gentle touch.
Or at night as you sleep,
I will join you in a dream.
You will see me standing close to you.
And we’ll be lost within my wings.
So my dear mommy and daddy,
As you go from day to day,
Find comfort in the knowledge,
I am never that far away.
Angel Whispers
"Do not be afraid to cry,
it does relieve the pain,
but remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain."

That just melts my heart. It reminds me of something our (at the time) 6 1/2 year old niece drew us for L's funeral. She wanted it buried with him, but we chose to keep it instead. She doesn't know we still have it, but it means so much to us. Is a picture of our entire family, and even included baby L. I couldn't stop crying. :( I love the innocence of children, and its definitely the little things that can help you see the light. xo
*tears*

Too sweet!
That brought tears to my eyes, how sweet!
Lea, it's so wonderful when our boys brothers remember them. It's like they have this ability to sense their baby brother and know them better than we could. When Murray remember Cayden or talks to him.....it somehow validates things for me. And you must feel so much pride in your older boys capacity to love and understand. You gave them that Lea. You and Nicholas.
That is absolutely amazing. What a sweetheart. I can imagine how your heart must have jumped when you saw that.
Bestill my heart xxoo
