Oscar Allen Daukmai Rowley

Conceived: October 26, 2007

Calculated Due Date: August 2, 2008

Birth Date: March 2, 2008

Death Date: March 2, 2008

Oscar unfortunately came 5 months too early....

too early to be able to survive outside of his Mama's nurturing belly

too early for Oden to have the role of "big brother"

too early for his Mama to kiss him and nourish him with her breast milk

too early for his Daddy to brag about his every little milestone

too early for his Grandparents to fawn over him

too early for his family to know him

but not too early for everyone to love him

and remember him

Please remember our little boy.........

He will always be a part of this family, much love to you, Patricia and Oden. That was very special he was conceived on Canyon's birthday.

Dear Jon, Patricia, & Oden...

Our hearts go out to you during this time of sadness. May you find peace and strength. "In Buddhist legend a sun-face-Buddha lives for a great length of time-I've read eighteen hundred years; I've heard ten thousand. The point is simple enough: a life of wisdom of great length. But a moon-face-Buddha lives for a single day and a single night. A long, human life is a Buddha's life. As is a single day and night. An old teacher of Zen explained it, if you cut a golden staff near the foot, it is gold. If you cut that staff in the middle, it is gold. If you cut it at the top, it is gold."

So sorry to hear about your devastating loss! It's hard to believe that everything happens for a reason at times like these. But have faith. Your lovely Oscar knows how much you love and honor his too brief life. All the best to you in coping with your loss. My heart goes out to you!

I am a reader of your sister's blog; and a stranger to yours; but I want you to know that I said a prayer for your sweet child to be at peace; as well as for your family's healing. I'm so sorry for your loss.
