Thank you so much for sharing baby Miller's short, but very sweet jounrey through life with us all. He made hearts melt and put smiles and tears on all of our faces, even without meeting him. For such a little guy he has deinfitely made such a huge impact on us all. I could never fully explain the heart break I feel for you guys and your family. I pray that you all find strenth and understanding by knowing that he is with God. I pray that big brother Cole soon understands that his amazing little brother is in the hands of our savior. Baby Miller feels no pain and will always be with each and everyone of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this difficult time. God bless!; June 23, 2011 at 11:40 AM

R said...: I am so sorry for your loss. I have and will continue to pray for your family. It is amazing how many people your beautiful child has touched. I don't know you, but by reading your story, it has given me strength with my daughters seemingly never ending trips to the doctors. What an amazing family!; June 23, 2011 at 12:48 PM
Danielle May said...: Thank you for sharing your gorgeous little man and your inspiring love. Your family has a beautiful heart that will keep you going as Miller sprinkles your lives with his love from Heaven. My family will wrap yours in prayers today and for a long time in the future-that you may all have peace and comfort knowing that Miller is breathing in the most beautiful air as he sings and dances with Jesus. Know that Jesus will hug him, hold his hand, and rock him to sleep every night until his Daddy is able to throw a baseball with him in Heaven, his Mama is able to lift him high in the air and give him a never ending abundance of kisses, and his big brother shows him all the glories and thrills of being the baby of the family. God will NOT waste this time in your life. You might not be able to see it for many months or years to come, but he will use Miller and his sweet time here on earth to bring glory to His name. May your hearts be filled with his peace and love.; June 23, 2011 at 12:51 PM
Christy said...: Meredith, I want to thank you for sharing Miller's journey through your blog. I came across your blog yesterday through another blog I follow. I prayed so hard last night for Miller's comfort, Cole's understanding and for your and Patrick's strength. I held my 9 month old a little tighter last night also. I know Miller is in a better place and pain free. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Sending you many, many hugs from Spanish Fort, Alabama.; June 23, 2011 at 3:08 PM

Katheryn R Griffith said...: Hi...I know you dont me but I have been following precious Millers story and I just wanted to let you know that he has touched all our lives with his beautiful smile and all the stories you have shared. 4 years ago I lost my little boy Landon (to SIDS) also while we were sleeping. I know the circumstances are very different, but I honestly believe that even if i would have known Landon was gonna pass it still would have been just as traumatic and left the same hole in my heart. I just wanted to share these beautiful poems with you. (I DONT KNOW WHO WROTE THEM)
My Mommy is a Survivor

My mommy is a survivor, or so I heard it said.
But I can hear her crying at night when all the others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand.
But like the sands on the beach that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mommy who thinks of me each and everyday.
She wears a smile for others...a smile of disguise.
But through Heaven's door, I do see tears flowing from her eyes.
My mommy tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her, knows it's her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mommy through Heaven's open door...
I try to tell her that the angels protect me forever more.
I know that doesn't help her, or ease the burden she bears.
So, if you have a chance, go visit her and show her that you care.
For no matter what she says or feels,
My mommy has a broken heart that time won't ever heal

My Daddy is a Survivor

My daddy is a survivor too
which is no surprise to me.
He's always been like a lighthouse
that helps you cross a stormy sea.
But, I walk with my daddy each day
to lift him when he's down.
I wipe the tears he hides from others;
He cries when no one's around.
I watch him sit up late at night
with my picture in his hand.
He cries as he tries to grieve alone,
and wishes he could understand.
My daddy is like a tower of strength.
He's the greatest of them all!
But, there are times when he needs to cry...
Please be there when he falls.
Hold his hand or pat his shoulder...
And tell him it's okay.
Be his strength when he's sad,
Help him mourn in his own way.
Now, as I watch over my precious daddy
from the Heavens up above...
I'm so proud that he's a survivor...
And, I can still feel his love.; June 23, 2011 at 7:20 PM
Katheryn R Griffith said...: Angel Friends
A beautiful little angel showed up to Heaven's gates
Confused and unknowing the plan that for him awaits.
Then another little angel walked up and took his hand
and said, "Please don't be sad you left, you're in the Promised Land."
"I'm glad to be here but I do not think I was to go,
Perhaps there was a mistake, for my mommy wanted me so."
The little greeting angel gave a sweet smile and said,
"My mommy wanted me too, but to Heaven I was led.
You see, we do not get to choose when on Earth it's time to go.
He gave us life, love and joy and a mother's womb to grow.
The Lord still needs new angels to guide them down on earth.
To watch over, comfort them, and help them see their worth."
"Is there still a way that I can sleep in my mommy's bed?"
The greeting angel grinned and said, "that luxury you'll keep.
I visit my mommy nightly and softly sing her to sleep."
The little angel replied, "then I think I'll like it here.
I'll visit my mommy nightly and weaken her pain and fears.
I love her and will keep her safe at night and in between,
And let her know with a sweet memory that she is still with me."
The greeting angel gave her new friend a big hug and said,
"Until our mommy's meet us here, let's be best angel friends."
"Okay," said the new angel, "that sounds good to me."
Then the angels sat and played keeping their mommy's in sight,
Humming the tunes to the song they would sing to their mommy's tonight...

RIP Baby Miller, I pray that you and my Landy find each other and become forever angel friends...
