William Robert Ellis
Delivered July 6th, 2010 9:50 pm
2 1/2 ounces 4 1/2 inches
A testimony to the genuine gift each life is, to the miracle of a soul around which a body had begun to perfect itself. His ears no bigger than an eye lash and his feet as big as my finger nail, were no less perfect in their detail than my own. The weight of his soul immeasurable, the indelible mark of identity eternally upon creation, his existence is a witness to life lived entirely in love and devotion to our Creator.
For those who have not heard, our child, William Robert, was found to be without a heart beat last week. Although we were almost half way through the pregnancy, he had stop growing around 16 weeks. We were blessed to deliver him yesterday and bury him this Friday.
We, as parents have suffered greatly in our loss, but we rejoice every moment in the children we have been given to love every day on earth. We look forward to the day we will meet our children in Heaven and until then we know we are blessed by their love and prayers.
