Name: Hunter Mills Heard

Age: 7 Months

Our son, Hunter, was our first child. He was born in May of 2003 after years of edometriosis treatment. He passed away with the babysitter's house in December when he was almost 7 months old. We had returned from New Mexico the day before where we had visited family and where he got to meet my grandfather before they both passed with in 24 hours of each other.

Although his life was short, we were able to fill it with innumerable experiences. He travelled to six states, including Disney World, the beach, the mountains with snow, and the desert. As we look back, we would give anything to have him with us again, but we can say that we know that although his life was short, it was a happy life full of experiences.

In May 2005, we gave birth to our second child, Olivia, and faced all the fears again. She is now 14 months old and doing well. Our challenge as she grows up is to make sure she knows about Hunter
