Dear little boys
In your tiny short lives you gave so much joy, you hurt no one, and you were loved.
You are loved. You will always be loved.
Granda and Cathy. xx
Dear little Robbie and Reuben. You will always live on in our hearts. Nannie and Rob. XX
Dearest Robert and Reuben.
I didn’t know you for long but your lives will always be with me importantly and profoundly and surrounded by the deepest love. Always your Aththa
Though your twins lived only briefly in this world,
they were known completely —
felt, dreamed of, and loved without limit.
In their short time, they were never alone.
They knew warmth, safety, and the sound of your love surrounding them.
