I sit here tonight staring at this urn I have before me, thinking deeply about the life you lived, the lives you touched, and everything wonderful about you. I note your 6th day in Heaven and just cant wrap my head around that number. Has it really been six days? Does time in Heaven go as quickly as time on Earth? It still just seems so surreal. But mommy is doing ok. I need you to know that. I need you to remember how much of a warrior you are and that you didn't give up and you werent weak, God just couldn't wait to meet you. Its all a part of his plan.
I just want you to know how much I miss you. Its strange, I haven't cried nearly as much as I thought I would. I figure its still all so new. I've been keeping busy making plans for your foundation, working hard to keep your memory alive and it makes me feel closer to you. But its still just not the same. I miss you Corbs and I love you so much. You rest easy sweet boy and ill see you on the other side of Heaven Happy 6th day of life in sky.

Corbin, today you were taken from my arms and went home to heaven at 7:04 am. It's all still so surreal. Last night, between the laughter, memories, smiles, and tears I asked the nurse, "Are most families like this? Why are we not sad?" Her answer said it all, "You all are celebrating life, you're not mourning." Oh how I loved to hear that. We weren't mourning at all! Sure the thought of you not being here is unbearable but the thought of the life you've lived, means so much more! You spent the last two days surrounded by those that love you, you went outside and you even met your puppy dog Zeus! A million memories into two short days!

You were given a less than 1% chance to live, but you were born! You were told you'd survive hours, but you survived days. Your days became weeks and weeks turned to months. Now 135 days later, I sit here writing to you, so thankful for all that we were able to share with you. I am grateful for the days, the weeks, and the months; every single one!

Today we began the planning of your service and viewing. I never thought this day would come, it's a day I rarely planned for as my hopes for your future were so high. But I am at ease, as are you. We have decided that no black will be worn for this occasion, only bright colors. This is a celebration of life! As you will sleep peaceful in your yellow bow tie, gray suspenders, and black dress pants! You're always dressed for the occasion huh?

This journey; this is your legacy Corbin and mommy promises to make it live on! I love you more than words. I miss you times infinity. But I couldn't have picked a better time or place for you to be called home. Rest well my sweet boy and I will see you on the other side of Heaven.
