Bad news at the range.

Trisha was induced Saturday and delivered a boy on Sunday at 17:50. He weighed 1lb 10oz and was 13in long. We named him William Wallace because he fought to the end like all the warriors in our family.

I cut the cord and cleaned him up a little. I helped one of the Nurses weigh and measure him, then take some bereavement photos. Normally a family member wouldn't be allowed to do this, but as an employee of the hospital I bent the rules around a pole and tied them in a bow. I was able to pose the baby so that the photos will have special meaning to Trisha and myself, including one of the baby in my hands.

He would have been our third son. We are already blessed as we have a four year old and a three year old at home.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

David.
 
I didn't want to read this thread because I was afraid it would break my heart.
It did.

I can't imagine your pain... I've been awakened by nightmares along these lines and they give me terrors.

The only comfort that I can give you is to tell you that you are wrong.
"He would have been our third son."
He still is, my friend, he still is. One day you will meet again, and he will still then be your son.

You guys are in my prayers now. Be strong.
 
I'll include your family in my prayers tonight. We'll say an extra prayer for your wife so your next child will be vibrant and full of health.

May your unborn child find comfort and joy in the afterlife.

May you and your loved ones find out that everything happened for the best.
 
Greeting's David, My Friend-

I just learned of your family's untimely loss! So sorry to hear
this bad news; hope you and the wifey are O.K. I will certainly
offer my prayers for you and your family. May GOD bless each
of you, and keep you safe.

Respectfully,
Ala Dan, N.R.A. Life Member
 
You made the right decision spending what little time you had with William.
When we lost our son we somehow felt it would be easier if we didn't see or hold him. We've regretted this decision for over twenty years.
 
As a member of Rio, this tragedy hits closer than most. My prayers are with you and your wife. May the Lord give you the strength to get through this with greater faith in Him and His glory.
 
Very sorry to hear the sad news. I'm joining hands with the other members of this special community to offer our prayers and support to your family.
