R.Everit55 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I miss my bride my princess my soulmate my beautiful angel. Our time was cut way too short. Though I know I had more time with my soulmate than many here. I am so humbled by that. My bride was my entire world. She gave me a gorgeous selfless smart amazing son and two baby girls that were too beautiful for this world. And she in essence gave me two beautiful grandsons and now two beautiful princesses born way too soon one Lila Beth was meant to be in Heaven with her Grammy Mary. The other, Lilian Mary, tiny at 2lbs fighting to stay here with us. How blessed am I? How grateful am I. How purely humbled I am. This journey wouldn't be had my bride not been there not been my other half. I promised her to never give up. I promised her to take care of our boy and his two boys. Who knew that shortly after she passed that Lila and Lily were conceived. She knew from up above. And now she's holding little Lila in her Heavenly arms. I owe my bride so much. I owe her infinity and beyond. And it's absolutely the sweetest debt that could ever be repaid. I will keep promises I made her as she passed to Heaven seven months and two days ago to the minute. I love her with no bounds. I will endlessly repay the debt of love and life I owe her for loving me without conditions only pure undying love. I'm pouring that love to my son and DIL as they sit by their tiny princess Lily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Everit55 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Lily is currently in surgery for IVH. Hemorrhage in the brain. The same procedure Lila had Sunday before she passed. I'm home with the boys. Lily is a fighter. She has to pull through this. She has spunk and spirit already. She's going to be our family's rainbow baby girl. I have faith. (I think).

R.Everit55 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 oh you all are amazing. Thank you isn't enough for all the prayers and support. Thank you will never be enough. Today was a sad day for the NICU "family" as a couple lost their son. Lily is holding on but has pneumonia in her left lung. I probably won't update until Lily gets stronger and pulls through. I know it hard to get bad news. And it's hard to give. I just really miss my love my bride my heart and soul and best friend. Butch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyT Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Butch, my dear, you have our thoughts and prayers whether you are free to give us updates or not. Please take care of yourself and your dear family first, and know that we carry you gently in our hearts. ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNH Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Butch - there's not much in the way of wisdom I can add. But I'll echo what many have already said. You and your family have my thoughts and prayers. I have been through exactly the same thing you are experiencing with my Daughter Becky. She was born at 32 weeks some 22 years ago. We nearly lost her more than a few times in those first few weeks. The NICU can be a daunting place for both parents and grandparents. Just reading your thoughts is proof positive that your Mary must have been an amazing lady. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
