Weston Ryker

Williams

We spent these last 33 weeks loving you and cherishing every moment. From the very first second I read the word pregnant on the test, I was terrified. But the moment I saw your dad’s face, I knew you would be the best thing that would ever happen to us.

Now everything I was once so excited for and afraid of has changed. The world feels far too loud and far too quiet at the same time. Even through the brave faces we wear and the strength others may see in us, we still had to let you go.

The hardest moment of my life will forever be leaving the hospital without bringing you home with us. We won’t get to watch you grow up, and now the day we once counted down to has become the day we had to say goodbye.

How do you explain to people that we are holding onto a love so big that we had to let go? That now we would give anything to be woken up at 3 a.m., stumbling through the dark just to hold you close. We would take every tantrum, every overwhelming day, every mess, and every muddy shoe if it meant you were here with us if it meant your laughter echoed through our home.

These last weeks have been the hardest moments of my life. I still feel every little movement like a tiny memory, and I carry every piece of you with me. You were loved long before you arrived, and you will be loved for the rest of our lives. I pray that you know just how deeply me and your dad love you and miss you every single day.

Part of me wondered what you would look like, but the moment I saw your sweet face, I fell completely in love. You are, without a doubt, the most beautiful little boy with your dad’s dark curly hair, your sweet face, and the tiniest hands and feet. I couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect than you.

Throughout the weeks of waiting for you to arrive, and even while preparing to say goodbye, I prayed every day that God would bring you into this world gently and peacefully. I truly believe He had His hand over me, you, and your dad through it all. Everything from the timing to the moment you entered this world felt so perfect. Despite all the fear, worry, and heartbreak, it was still the most beautiful day of my life.

Now as we say our final goodbye, even through the tears, I know you are in the best place you could be. I’ve been listening to a Christian song lately, and these words have truly reached my heart:

“But I know you’re in a place where all your wounds have been erased

And knowing yours are healed is healing mine

The only scars in Heaven

They won’t belong to me and you

There’ll be no such thing as broken

And all the old will be made new

And the thought that makes me smile now

Even as the tears fall down

Is the only scars in Heaven

Are the hands that hold you now”

-Casting Crowns

I know that there is no pain where you are, and that you are watching over me and your dad. We will look for you in every sunset, every rainbow after the rain, and in every good day that comes our way. You are the greatest blessing we will ever receive, and I will forever be thankful for every moment I had with you here beside me.

We love you and we hold on to the fact we will get to see you soon Weston Ryker Williams.
