I'm sorry that I tell people that Jack and Ella are our first kids.
I'm sorry that I never got to give you nicknames.
I'm sorry that I'm starting to forget your beautiful faces.
I'm sorry that I wasn't there for your births.
I'm sorry that you won't be here for Christmas.
I'm sorry that you died before I did.
I love you.

The good news, in life I think, is that you have a wife and children to love and that love you. Something about Job and God testing you seems to come to mind. Perhaps not. In either event, good night Dave.
Thanks for making me cry!
i have found that being a parent is sooooooo full of guilt. so, i can't imagine your position as a parent that has lost your children. nobody is perfect, and we all have our reasons for what we do. we do the best we can, and that is all we can do. guilt can eat you alive and it will never help anything. i know that you have done the best you could, and i hope you recognize that someday.
