Happy 1st Birthday Gabriel!!

Happy 1st Birthday to our precious little Gabriel!! It's a bittersweet day as we celebrate his life without him here, but today we are celebrating that he was here. He did live and his short perfect life is all he needed. What an amazing example he is to our family.

"Don't think of him as gone away--
his journey's just begun
life holds so many facets
...this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much."

We love you so much Gabriel and hope that your first birthday in heaven is wonderful!!
