WAYLON'S NAME IN CRAYON

I received an email a while back that had this picture as an attachment. Jamie S saw this hanging on the wall in a school. Waylon's name is fairly uncommon, but there it was. So she sent it on to me. Jamie, I can't thank you enough for remembering my sweet little boy and taking a picture of his name for me. I still can't explain what it is about seeing his name written in several different ways, but it just brings a smile to my face. I guess it is just the thought of knowing that everytime someone speaks, writes or takes a picture of his name that he is being remembered. I absolutely LOVE this!! Thank you Jamie so very much. We love you!!

*So, hopefully my blog will post this time. Nearly every day I check family blogs. I think they are one of the neatest inventions ever to come about! What a great way to journal and keep in touch. I would love to look back at a blog remembering all of the days when I was raising my kids with Brutie.
*What an especially wonderful way to remember and honor Waylon Bruce! I love his name too. Thank you Jamie, for thinking of Waylon.
Love,

WAYLON'S POEM

My Angel Baby Waylon

I knew I loved you right from the start,

The first time I saw your beating heart.

I cherished feeling you every day,

Kicking and squirming your time away.

No one would have guessed, the news that we would bear,

Your life had been taken, so sudden, so unfair.

I never got to see your bright blue eyes,

Or feel your warmth, or hear your cries.

All I have are dreams of you,

Those of which, will never come true.

My heart broke the day that I knew,

Your daddy and I would never meet you.

I had made plans, had dreams and such,

If only I’d known I was dreaming too much.

I never thought that heaven would take you away from me so soon.

But, I'll never forget that dismal day,

so sacred and so true.

Somehow I knew something was not right,

And through many tears I would have to fight.

A day filled with love and happiness,

Yet so much grief and pain.

I seemed to cry for hours, at the mere thought of your

honorable name.

Now, all I do is dream at night,

about life with you, and what that would be like.

What if you had been born alive?

All we can do is grieve and strive,

To remember you every single day,

Hold on to our memories in every single way.

We can ask how and why so much,

we never got to feel your touch.

And all we can do is face the fact,

There were reasons unknown, and that’s that.

Because we know you're where you need to be,

Even though it isn't here with me.

You are my angel baby, because God picked you.

Now, forever with his angels,

He’ll take good care it’s true.

You left this earth too soon I know,

But I will see you in rainbows, in birds and snow.

My love for you is unconditional and strong,

And I’ll meet you in heaven,

even though it seems like so long.

My angel baby you will always be,

In my heart forever, eternally a part of me.

-J.S.

In memory and honor of my angel, my son,

Waylon Bruce 6-21-10
