Little Gray Man passed away tonight about 830 pm. He was so tired. We wanted so much for him to make it to see more monkeys, but that was no life to live. He was loved and gave us so much to remember. I know we have over 1000 pictures of him.
He is gone now. Hospice and the coroner have been to the house. Arkansas Central Mortuary Service just picked Little Man up. It was hard to let him go even though we both know he is really already gone. He is in a better place now.
This is all too familiar for us unfortunately. Our plan is to pick Grayson up tomorrow and drive back to Mississippi the same way we did with Kinsey. Gray will be buried right next to Kinsey at Johnson Grove Church of Christ in Bogue Chitto, MS. I always thought it would be me and Bizkit on either side of Kinsey, but it looks like we will have two children between us. We miss him so much.
God speed, Little Man
Sweet dreams, Little Man
Sweet dreams, Little Man
Oh OUR love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed

I'm one of those "you don't know me, but"... followers, yes. My heart broke this morning when I went to read up on your blog as I have for the past week or two since I learned about it and caught up on your story. I echo what everyone else is saying, not an original thought comes to mind through my tears. You two amaze me- you are making your children and God so extremely proud. Yes, little man and big sister I'm sure are seated with him and watching over your every move and loving you, wanting to make you well. I'll follow what your story brings. Continued strength and blessings to you, always in my prayers.
Sending Lots of Prayers to you and your family: Our family has followed your wonderful story and admire ALL of your strength and love! Grayson was beautiful! He is now in Jesus' arms with his sister and all of the wonderful perfect other babies with Trisomy 18. My heart goes out to you both and know that we are sending your strength through our prayers

I don't have the words to give or the comfort, but God does. Y'all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
We are sorry for your loss and will continue to pray for your family. May God continue to bless you as you live your life in Him.
I just want you to know that I thought of you and Gray several times today and every time I see a stuffed monkey I will think of of you and your beautiful son. Thank you for sharing your lives and your faith. Gray has touched my heart in such a special way. It gives me the strength to say " Here I am Lord, let me be of purpose, the way this beautiful baby boy has been in his short life." May the peace and love of Christ be in your hearts.

Praying for your family, I'm so sorry to hear the news, my heart breaks for you.
Taylor and Kristi,
I'm not really even sure what to say, other than my heart is aching for you both right now. I can't even begin to imagine how either of you must feel. I just take comfort in knowing that your babies are in a much better place now. And that they must be having a great time getting to know each other though!
I also wanted to thank you both so much for sharing your story. It has truly touched my heart, along with countless others, I know. Your courage and faith are remarkable and serve as a constant reminder to me of what it means to fully rely on God.
*PS- the cath/ep labs at AHH will continue to pray for you both and your family!!!

I'm am saddened to learn of your loss. The days you were able to spend with Grayson were such a blessing. He is a beautiful baby. I am a mother that has suffered through 3 losses, nothing like you and your husbands, but I know what it feels like and my heart aches for you. Thank you for sharing your sons amazing life with everyone. You will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers
I have no words because I can't imagine what you have been through. I just wanted to tell you that you have been on my mind and in my prayers ever since I heard your story.
God Bless you and yours~

Praying for peace and comfort for you both and for the rest of your family as well... Praying for showers of blessings in the future.
I am so incredibly sorry for your losses. It doesn't seem right or fair. Please know that I am praying for you and your family. May God's love surround you.
I read every word you guys wrote and it feels as if I were there too. I feel for you both. You guys are special people and If Tristan ever needed a place to stay, you all would be at the top of the list. I mean that. Chris in Little Rock
Oh... just tears and prayers for you as you walk this road again. All too familiar, all so difficult.
Psalm 61:2- “From the end of the earth I will cry to you when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”
Prayers that the Lord will constantly sustain you!
So sorry for the loss of your sweet Grayson. I also have babies in heaven, 3, and although I've never worried about them, because I know they are okay, together, and happy....we are still left here to mourn their loss from our lives. We are the ones who must be cradled because we miss them so, so much. May God hold you in the palm of his hand as you mourn this special child. Love, Tara from Tallahassee (mother of 3 angels: Xavier, Zora, and Nathan)
I am so sorry your beautiful son is no longer with you.
Thinking of you.
Brokenhearted for you today, as I read this for the first time. We are making our own visit to the cemetery today. There are really no adequate words.
Praying for you.
Although there is nothing that I can say to take your grief and pain, please know that your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing your little Monkey Man with us. Although his life on Earth was short, Grayson touched more lives than most people who are here for much much longer. I hope he and his sister are enjoying playtime in Heaven. God Bless you all.
My heart is breaking for you both and your family. No words help. Nothing can be said. I am just glad that you know they both are in a better place, playing together. God bless you all.
I am so sorry for your loss. Thoughts & prayers for your family.
I just read your blog over here in Denmark and it brought tears to my eyes. I lost my first baby, she only lived an hour. That happened 24 years ago, and it was the worst thing in my life. I will share a poem that my mother-in-law wrote, which really comforted me
Little One
Dancing on the rainbow
That encircles Heaven's throne.
We were unprepared for your too-soon arrival
And you did not stay long enough
For us to welcome you.
Like the brief, elusive fragrance of a rose
You came, borne by the summer wind,
Borne right into the Saviour's loving arms.
He holds you now, firmly, gently.
He holds us also, calms our grieving,
Affirms us all is well with you...
Rejoice, Michelle, you are forever loved
