To my little man: Spencer, you came to us from heaven up above, we cared for you and nurtured you, and gave you lots of love. Now has come your time to fly, and for all of us to say goodbye. You are an angel to your sister, a prayer to Grandma Jane, a button to your Grammy, a little man who's endured such pain. You are clearly the strongest little soul any of us will ever know. Though your short life has taken a toll, we find it hard to let you go. Thank God for Lowere, Linda and Gail. They were always there to be sure you wouldn't fail. As Mia lets her balloon go, may your little soul leave with ease. As we watch it float to and fro, may your little soul rest in peace. May you run and skip and play, throw a ball and shout hurray! Mia's wish for you is to say "hello." That's her own little way to let you go. Though you have been unable to do very much, with your smile so many lives you have touched. Everyone will miss you because of your special glow. Your Mommy and Daddy shouldn't have to let you go. Life had unfortunately chosen this way, so our wish for you is to forever play. I wish I could bottle your yawn, forever kiss your toes, and give you Eskimo kisses on your sweet little nose. You will never leave my every thought, you have brought me an incredible love. May Nana and Grandpa watch over you in heaven up above. With all my love, your Mommy.
