Daddy & Hendryx
This a letter that Daddy wrote to you back in February 2006:
Dear Hendryx,
Hey son, how are you doing? It's been 3 months since I've seen you and it will be a lifetime before I see you again. I miss you a lot, especially in the mornings. I really looked forward to the nights we would probably spend in the recliner, sleeping, just like your big sister and I did. Man, I looked forward to teaching you mechanics and sports, you know life. There are so many good things in life you will never get to experience like the love of a mother. The love you would have gotten from your mother, she's a great woman, she just doesn't know it. She is so torn up and she is not the same woman from before. She has had so many obstacles thrown in front of her but she still chugs along. I love her so much and I know you love her as much as I do! Your sister misses you and she draws you pictures all the time. I know she looked forward to playing with you. Your Momo and Papa are great people and you would have loved them. Well son, I miss you and will love you always. I know you are happy and comfortable where you are at. I know you look down and want us to continue on with life, so I will, and I'll see you soon. I love you Hendryx.
Love,
Daddy
P.S. Tell Jesus Hello!

Mommy's letter to Hendryx
Dear Hendryx,
Hello baby! How are you doing up there in heaven? If it's as good as I hear it's supposed to be, then I'm sure you are having a grand old time! I'm sure you have many friends as well as our past relatives to keep you company...not to mention Jesus and God! I often try to find sense and reasoning behind all of this, and I have come to no conclusion. However, I can't complain, because you are in the safest place you could ever be, and you are taken care of by God, we live each day to try and make it to see His glory one day, but you son, are already there. I don't have to worry in the least about you...unlike your big sister, Kaytlin! I worry about her a lot sometimes, but there's peace in knowing that she's got you looking out for her. Actually she has 3 angels looking out for her. You and your brother and sister that are there with you too. I'm not positive on their gender because I lost them to early on, I guess it's just a gut feeling. I've named them Presley and Ayden. Tell them I said hello and that I am sorry that I didn't grieve for them like I do you. I just had more time with you Hendryx. I felt like I knew you already. I remember how you would react to certain foods that I ate. I think you would have been a picky eater! Unlike your big sister! You used to move around a lot when I did the dishes or took a shower. I think maybe you heard the running water, and I know you would have loved splashing around in it! You got the hiccups quite often, but I enjoyed them...I thought it was funny! I cherish those memories now. I remember when I used to worry about you, because I hadn't feel you move in awhile. Without fail, not two seconds after I would have that thought- I would feel you move. Sometimes it was a little kick or a punch and other times you'd change positions, but it was if you were telling me "everything's ok-mom"...and it always was, until Thanksgiving Day. That's when I feel like the lights were turned out in my life. You were taken from me and it's been really hard trying to get over it and move on. I'll tell you I couldn't do it without your Daddy, mostly. I can't even begin to imagine where I'd be without him. Slowly, but steadily the fog is starting to clear. With him by my side, I will be able to see clearly again. Big Sister Kaytlin helps in her own little ways too. Sometimes she talks about you and asks questions. She draws pictures of you or for you and even pretends to play with you sometimes. I don't know where I'd be without Momo and Papa. Momo listens well and Papa has a good way of explaining things so my thick, hard head understands them. I've questioned my faith and denounced God more than once. All of it has been out of sadness, frustration and anger. I can only ask him to forgive me and continue to help me find some peace and comfort. I keep looking for some quick answers to my questions, and quick relief from all my sorrow. Deep down inside, I know that can't happen. I think some things I'll never forget or forgive myself for. I'm so upset that I don't remember feeling you move for the last time. I am angry at myself for chosing the wrong hospital to go to that day. I'm angry because I didn't speak up for you, and tell the nurses and doctors to monitor you like they should have. I'm angry that I wasn't aware of what was going on when I was delivering you. I wish I had had a clear mind at the time, so I could remember our final moments together. I'm so angry that I really don't remember getting to hold you. It felt like such a short time...not even a minute. I remember looking down at you. What a handsome little guy! You looked warm and cozy, like you were in a deep, restful, sleep. I checked under your tiny hat for hair...the cutest fuzzy black hair, I've ever seen in my life! I remember counting all ten fingers and all ten toes. I remember asking when you were going to open your eyes, and I remember hearing your daddy tell me that wasn't going to happen. With that thought I told you I loved you and I gave you a kiss and a hug and said goodbye. That's all that I really remember until I woke up the next morning. I'm upset that I didn't get to hold you again when I was feeling better. I wanted to hold you more, before I really had to say goodbye, but I was talked out of that, and it didn't happen. I'm sorry I was so out of it when I said my goodbye Hendryx, I hope you know you have my heart- I've loved you from the minute I found out about you and will continue to love you with every inch of my being until the day you greet me at the pearly gates. I want you to be the first one I see. Along with your brother and sister. I want you to give me the biggest possible hug you could give me and mostly, I want you to let me hold you. Just let me hold you and let me look into your eyes and let me tell you that I love you. I miss you so much baby, my heart aches, so unbelievably bad. Daddy says that you don't want to see me that way. I want you to now that I won't be like this forever. Soon you'll see me smile and truly laugh again. At least I'm going to try really hard too. I've still got your Daddy and Kaytlin to take care of here on earth. I hate to end this letter Hendryx. Only God knows there are so many other words that I'd like to say to you and I could go on writing forever. I'll do my best to be patient for the day I get to see you again. Hendryx-there won't be a day that goes by that I won't think of you, my little man, and the things we could have done, the memories we could have made as a family, the thought of watching you grow into a man...and having a family of your own...even simple things like watching football with your daddy or helping him fix the car. The thought of you and Kaytlin being playmates, and you two being there for each other when your daddy and I are no longer around. All those things and more I think about, constantly and with each thought I send my love to you...I hope you feel it too. Hendryx, I really hate what happened, and sometimes I wonder why God only gave me 8 months with you, but then I think of how grateful and blessed that I am to have gotten to know you in those 8 months and love you for a lifetime. I'm content that once I reach you in heaven, I will be your mommy for eternity. I love you so much son...so very much. With each passing day...I'm one step closer to you! Take care Hendryx.
With all my love ALWAYS AND FOREVER,
MOMMY
