We are the same age as mothers and i get this sad news the day i am home from the hospital with my newborn son. I can't imagine your pain. I am so sorry."

"I am sorry does not seem like the right thing to say. I wish I could turn back time for the both of you! I know it does not seem possible that you will get through this, but you will. My brother (Mark and Bonnie)lost his 1 month old daughter and they walk day by day. If there is anything I can do please call. You are both in my thoughts and prayers,as good of parents as you are, Talan is now with the best parent of all! Love you!"

"I am so sorry about your loss. I recently lost the little boy I babysat, Ben. From my experience, you just have to live as life comes. Some days will be hard, some may be easier, but no matter what you have to be strong because the stronger you are, the easier this will be to get through. You just have to cry when you feel like crying. Again, I am extremely sorry about your loss. This is the kind of pain I would never wish upon anyone else, wether I knew them or not. My prayers are with you and your family. Good luck today and in the days to come. Talan and Benny can play together in heaven..."
