Jen and Brandon

I understand what you both are going through. I'm sorry for your loss and will pray that he is being treated well in the afterlife. Things will get better and easier but he will always be in hearts and memories. I'm sorry I couldn't be there when the worst happened. But I'm only a phone call away.

Mommy & Daddy Forthman

JR. My baby boy. Not one single day goes by that we do not think about you and all the special times we had with you. You were apart of us. I carried you for 10 months & 1 week and remember everything like it was yesterday. The moment you were born I remember you looking at me with your big blue eyes and smiling at me as if you were saying mommy don't be scared the surgery is over with and I'm here now. I remember the very first time that the nurses brought you in and left you with me by myself and trying to figure out how to change your diaper... Boy was that funny. You were the first baby I ever changed a diaper for without thinking twice, the first baby to feed, and the first baby to hold without feeling uncomfortable. I was a new and very proud mother. I can remember giving you a bath in the sink and you peeing all over my shirt and grabbing ahold of the counter as if you were saying MOM put me back in the warm cozy water. You are so very special to us baby boy. I used to look into your eyes and song songs to you and you LOVED it! It always calmed you down and made my heart melt. And your little pout faces you would make, you knew you'd always get your way when you would do that. When you'd cry sometimes I'd want to cry with you because I wanted to take all your tears away. You didn't get to stay very long with us my sweet baby boy but you taught us all a life long lesson that most people can never do in a lifetime and that's to cherish every moment spent with your loved ones because you never know when they could go. Be happy each and everyday to wake up to your family. JR you made mommy proud because you sent a very meaningful message to all of us and I will NEVER ever stop loving you. When I look up to the stars at night time I'll be sure to look for the brightest one and know that it's you shining down on us saying that you love us. I know that you loved the outdoors I can remember the very first time we took you outside to go for a ride in your stroller and you were so content with the outside you loved the trees and the different sounds you heard from the birds and everything that surrounded you. Jr you cherished everything that surrounded you and yet you were just a small precious baby. You inspire me to be a better person and to love what I have. We love you soo very much and miss you more then words can explain. Please visit us often even if it's just by shining bright in the sky as a star because I know it'll
be you. Love you always, MOMMY & DADDY. Xoxo-Xoxo

Jen,
You are so strong. You've been through so much. I am so sorry you and Brandon have to go through this. It's terrible and it's unfair. But every little thing happens for a reason and you and Brandon need to take care of each other now. There will be brighter days, I promise. I'm always here for you, since 8th grade, we've always been there for each other. Love you. Stay strong.
