I touch Wyatt, but I can not touch Trevor, he is gone and that is the pain, the loss, the sadness that fills my heart. There is the joy of Wyatt in my life, the joy in watching him discover his environment, the simple sound of a rattle that brings that curious look to his precious face. All the joy in experiencing the birth of a baby is happening simultaneously as is the pain of losing a baby. My heart breaks for Wyatt and the brother he will only hear about. All of my visions are of two amazing little boys running, laughing, crying side by side. A dear friend, Trevor’s and Wyatt’s Godmother, said something that has created a new vision for me and that is" the boys came from one egg, became two and are now one again with Trevor’s soul back with Wyatt." There is no comfort in any of this, but those words have given me the hope of feeling peace within. I look at Trevor as the big brother; he was born first at 5lbs 13oz compared to Wyatt’s 4lbs 3oz. Trevor took the burden in the womb and gave his brother the life he has. Dean and I had chosen the names Trevor and Wyatt for our boys. Wyatt means “little warrior” and Trevor means “prudent.” When my sister read the meanings of their names in Dr. Chmait’s office the day before the surgery, I gave them their names based on their roles in the womb. “Baby B”, the recipient, the bigger baby was given the name Trevor. It was also on that day during the examination of the boys in utero that Trevor’s sick heart was discovered. Now my heart is sick and Wyatt has the burden of saving me and his father. Wyatt and the life Trevor will not have are my reasons for getting up each day. As I stumble through the days to come I’ll just remind myself to breathe, just breathe and breathe and breathe.

I am moved by the words of love and support expressed here. Thank you all for your kindness that has never ceased. The actions being taken on our behalf are nothing short of amazing.

My sincerest thanks and appreciation to each one of you.

Lula


Lula, my friend, I wish so much that I could take some of your pain for you ......

Your dreams are that of a good mother - and I think you will someday be able to see that Trevor is running beside Wyatt - that Trevor is watching over all of you.

Love Wyatt more that humanly possible. As you said, now Wyatt has the burden of saving you and his father. Trevor will be there to help him.

Thank you. Just wanted Dean & Lula to know how much everyone is praying for them & thinking of them. Couldn't get many words out when I returned his call, just listened more than anything.

If anyone had told me 10 yrs ago that people who I'd only met in some place called cyberspace would come to mean enough to me to move me to tears I'd have laughed at them. I'm not laughing now.

I've met several of our MR family personally but not Dean or Lula. Dean and I don't even like each other on here anymore, but he and Lula are part of my cyber family. I'm hurting for them and with them.

Maybe there is still hope for the human race if we can still come together regardless of our differences when we need each other.

I know, I'm rambling.....................sorry. :oops:

To add a bit a bit of light-hearted comedy to such an awful scenario, how is not getting "many words out" any different than a normal conversation with Dean? :wink: Dude is a mile a minute. One of the most passionate people I've ever met. His absence speaks volumes about where he's at emotionally. :( Hopefully, he's reading and along with Lula, they realize many, many people have heavy hearts.

We've had some contact behind the scenes. I will help in any way I can, but I really don't know what I could say on the phone to help. They are both my friends and Lori and I will be there for them. That's all I know how to do.

This is so true. I have only talked to Dean on the phone and Lula online, but they are part of my cyber family (I like that term). If you are rambling - it's not a bad thing. It is good to think about good things in our lives (our cyber family being one of them) at a time like this. **Big hugs** to my cyber family!!

I knew that when I quoted it and didn't realize I had your name in there. Probably just my mistake in editing the quote.

The whole lot of you have at least helped to restore a little bit of my faith in humanity. I know that makes no sense to anyone, but thank you for it anyways. You are all so amazing with such beautiful hearts. I am so proud and blessed to be associated.

Glad to know I'm not alone there. I'd give each and every one of you the world if I had that to give. But it seems all I'm left with are a few simple words.

I do what I can, honestly. Writing has always been one of my things, it seems to have been the only thing I could ever really count on to help me out in tough times. Writing and songs. So if the words I put out there have just one positive effect, I don't mind scathing myself to produce them. I hope you use them however you can.

Lullabies

Daddy please don`t look so sad,
Mommy please don`t cry.
I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.
Please do not try to question God,
don`t think He is unkind.
Don`t think He sent me to you and that
He changed His mind.
You see, I am special
and I`m needed up above.
I`m the special child you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I`ll always be there with you.
So watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star that`s gleaming.
That`s my halo`s brilliant light.
So Daddy please don`t look so sad.
Mommy please don`t cry.
I am in the arms of Jesus.
And He sings me lullabies.

Dean,

We have only conversed on a few occasions and I was happy that you even acknowledged me. I am here at MR because of you and I thank you for introducing me to this awesome message board full of great people. I read daily but only post when I really have something of worth to say.

I am deeply saddened by this horrible news. I read with excitement the birth of your two sons and I was genuinely happy. The news of late has saddened me to the core. It is rare that I feel my heart sink but it happened when I read your post about Trevor passing. I wish you, Lula, and Wyatt the best of everything. My heart is aching and it has strengthened my resolve to protect the innocent.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

We will be there my friend.

Anyone who is planning on going...please PM me. I don't want to burden Dean with all of our details, so I am going put everything together (i.e. hotels, transportation and all).

Thanks!

I can't be there, as well...but I will certainly be thinking of you all.

You both have a reason to continue on...and that is Wyatt. He will embrace Trevor's spirit and keep you going, and smiling. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
