To the proud loving parents of sweet Hudson Lee,
I'm a parent, a mother, and aunt, who's heart was broken and ached upon seeing Husdon's lovely picture. There's no doubt, at all, the moment since his conception to his birth will be with you always. From the time of his first kick, his turn overs, gentle pokes to remind you, he was growing - All of these will be with you, mom, forever.
And Papa, you'll too will remember sharing the joy learning you were to become a family of three and feeling his kick while you gently placed your hand on your wife's tummy. Later, as he moved, you could see as him, as his mommy's tummy stretched to accommodate Hudson.
True, we've not met, but we share similar stories.
May the Angels of Peace rest gently on your shoulders, hold your hearts in their hands, during this time, and forever.
Lovingly,
Sue Masten
