The picture of Conor is beautiful, and he sounds like a true fighter in every sense. I just know he chose you for parents because you are wonderful, and he couldn't resist being with you here on earth, even if for a short moment of time. Your strength is amazing, and yet I want to tell you that it's okay not to be strong. But you are.

Conor did choose you as his parents, and this tiny little boy IS a part of your eternal family. You will hold him again one day. <br /><br />As you've so beautifully expressed it, he brought so much into your lives, tested your strength, and left love in your hearts for him. May God bless and comfort you and your wife in the coming weeks as you move on with your lives.
