To Mommy’s ‘Booger Butt’:

I miss you so dearly; I remember like it was yesterday when I was eating cookie dough like crazy because that was all we wanted were out sweets!!

Daddy claims I forced you into this world because I was so ready for you to be here; born three weeks early and almost 8 lbs, you were my bundle of joy.

From the moment you entered this world you hardly cried, with serious and somber looks, but no tears.

You never hesitated to grunt even when lifting a finger or blinking an eye; a noise I will never forget.

Two weeks old and living life to the fullest already-watching bull riding at the Neshoba County Fair with Bubba.

A hungry piggy you always were, three hours came and went so fast.

You laid in the arms of so many during the short time you were here, during the time I could only feel jealous because all I wanted was to hold you all the time.

Mommy’s belly even misses you; laying on it every night so I could rub your back to get you asleep.

Every time I would enter your presence, you knew I was there; Your eyes would open without me even having to speak.

You grew so big just over the short time—such a butterball you were.

Time came and went in the blink of an eye and now Mommy, Daddy and bubba are left with broken hearts.

Holes that are left open with pain that only you could feel.

We miss you so much and know that you are in a far better place.

Never forget how much we love u and will always cherish the memories you gave us.

What a blessing you were.
