Gone Too Soon

We never got to know you or see your eyes of blue
We never got to watch you play or start each day anew
We never got to hear your laugh or cuddle you when you cried
A part of everyone of us, left us when you died.

For now you are an Angel with a halo shining bright
A star up in the night sky keeping loved ones in your sight.
We will keep you in our hearts and thoughts, you will never be forgotten
You are a bud that never got to bloom,
you were a baby born too soon.

"Ethan Thunder Golightly was stillborn on June 9, 2011 at 11:44 pm. He was 6 inches long and weighed 2 ounces." This was the text that we received 1:16 am June 10 from Chad's sister Kim and brother in law Shad. Kim went in earlier that day for a routine appointment and found out that little Ethan's heart had stopped beating. The decision was made to deliver him that night. They were blessed with another baby boy if only to hold for a second in this life, but Ethan has touched all of our lives and we will miss him until we are reunited in Heaven.
