This past week had been really hard for our family. My brother and his fiancé lost their little boy at 39 weeks gestation. They went in for their final prenatal appointment and when they checked for a heartbeat, there was none. We are all heart broken at the loss our our sweet nephew, Dominick.
He was born November 20, 2014. I was able to go down and meet and hold him. He was the cutest little boy with lots of dark hair. My brother and and Lori were able to get some pictures taken with him that they will treasure forever and they were able to spend most the day holding and loving their sweet baby boy. There are times like these that I feel such deep pain and sorrow and even question why God would allow this to happen. Why take such a sweet baby? With this pain and questions, if we turn to God, He can and will provide comfort and answers. I am so grateful for my knowledge of life after death and that if we keep His commandments and go to the temple, we can have our families forever.
His little viewing and graveside service were held November 26, 2014. We had lots of support from friends and family. Mark and I were able to buy a little suit for him to be buried in and we also set up a fund to help with funeral and medical costs. We were amazed with the love and generousity that was so freely given. We were able to raise over $2000 to help them. We have been truly humbled and blessed by the hands of others. We have seen many miracles happen in a time of such sadness. God is good and knows the bigger plan. We just have to put our trust in Him.
Little Dominick looked so beautiful. The graveside service was sweet and beautiful as well. After the prayer was offered, we were able to let go of some balloons to honor him. Little Dominick, your stay on earth was so brief but you have forever touched our hearts and will forever be loved by your family. Until we meet again.
