Zachery Thomas 1/29/98-1/29/98 4lbs 15 1/2 oz 17 inches long                         We were so happy to find out we were expecting a child and thrilled when we                        found out it was our little boy we had dreamed of. Our world shattered when                              we found out at 27 weeks that our little baby boy was very sick.
                             After 2 months of worrying, praying, bonding and a zillion Dr. visits, Zachery
                             was born with several congenital anomolies including: Hydrocephalus and
                             a Diaphragmatic Hernia. The Dr's did everything they could do to save our child
                             but it was not meant to be. Though we only knew our precious son for 17
                             minutes on this earth he forever lives on in our hearts.

Mommy and baby if for only a moment. I love you Zachery, I miss you and I know I will see you again one day. But until then be with me in my dreams, guide me through life, I want to make you as proud of me as I am of you, you are the bravest little baby I have ever known. I will continue my life with faith, knowing that you will meet me at the gates of Heaven it is the only way "My heart will go on". Love, Mommy
