Today would have been the 21st birthday of my first son. We lost him to S.I.D.s when he was only 3 months old. it is funny how so many memories are packed into such a short period of time. I was lucky, I worked nights and stayed home with him during the day. I spent every single day of his very short life with him and his older sister. I am grateful now that I had the amount of time I had at that point in my life. How irreplaceable those 90 days could have been.

Daniel,

While recollection is certainly healthy, you may want to take a few minutes today to tell your DAUGHTER how important SHE is to you. It will mean a lot to her, don't you think???

Just a thought.
 
Daniel;
you are in our thoughts and prayers. We were baby-sitting a dear friend's son; who died in my wifes arms at 3 months during his nap. We stay in contact with the family and they had a baby girl. Do something special with your daughter today I'm sure she could use the uplifting thoughts also.
 
Thanks for sharing, Daniel. My wife and I lost our first daughter about a day before birth. Never found anything to suggest cause. She would have been 12 in August. We remember her all the time, which makes the three we have now even more special!
 
Daniel .... what a terrible, tragic way to lose a kid. I hope you never forget a single moment of those three months that he lightened your life. They're right when they say there's nothing worse than losing a child. I'm betting that he's up there waiting for you and your wife.
 
I am glad that you had three months of light and love in your life to light the dark throughout the years. Hug your daughter and wife and feel the love in your life. Blessings to you and yours,
 
Daniel, I've been there, we had our "Bubba" for 13 years he would be 35 now and he changed our lives for the better as I'm sure your son did for you, both Diane and I have you in our thoughts.
 
Daniel,
Blessings to you and your loved ones as you remember your son. A recommendation, if you've not done so, would be to write down and journal the memories regarding time with your son before the memories fade. By committing the memories to paper, you'll always have a record of your moments with him and this is also something (along with picures) that can be passed on and cherished by your children.

Daniel,
I'm sorry for your loss.. I've not lost a child and have no idea what the loss would do to me... but like you, when my son was born, I worked a late swing shift.. I went into work at 7:30 pm and got off at about 2:30 Am... my wife went back to work shortly after he was born and I had the grand pleasure of being the caretaker. Then when my wife and I separated, I was able to obtain custody of my then 5 year old... and raised him as a single dad until he graduated from high school... we are very close even today.
 
Thank you everyone, And I do spend huge amounts of time with all my other children. My youngest son (now 19) considers me his best friend. The baby of the bunch (16) is well, 16. But made a beautiful tribute to a brother she never knew yesterday on one of her myspace type sites. My oldest daughter (23) was working until late last night so I did not get to spend much time with her. I did notice that it looked like she was troubled about something so she is at the top of my list today to just check in with her. I am able to PM them throughout the day and actually have a conversation going with my wife as I type this.
