HAPPY "HEAVENLY" BIRTHDAY MICHAEL

SUCH A PRECIOUS LITTLE ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY, EVEN IF IT WAS ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE.. (14 months, then he was adopted out from under us) the two below (one with the monkey and one in red shirt) was taken when he was with us..

 

THE NEXT THREE WAS TAKEN IN HIS ADOPTED HOME.. AND I FEEL SURE THAT THEY LOVED HIM EVERY BIT AS MUCH AS WE DID.. I KNOW WE SURELY MISSED HIM! BUT, I AM SOOO THANKFUL TO HAVE HAD THESE PICTURES SHARED WITH US BY HIS BIRTH MOTHER (WHO IN TURN RECEIVED THEM FROM HIS ADOPTED MOTHER, AFTER HIS DEATH)

WE ALL LOVED HIM VERY MUCH.. AND HE KNEW IT!

HE LOOKED SOOO MUCH LIKE HIS BIRTH MOTHER IN THE PICTURE BELOW.. HE WAS SUCH A SWEET AND LOVING CHILD!

NOW HE IS IN HEAVEN WITH MY PARENTS, OUR 5 MISCARRIED CHILDREN, HIS ADOPTIVE FATHER.. AND MANY MANY OTHERS THAT ALL LOVE HIM VERY MUCH =================== SO PLEASE MOM AND DAD, GIVE HIM A SPECIAL HUG FROM US AND TELL HIM WE'LL SEE HIM AGAIN.
