A lifetime Wish

If I could have
a lifetime wish
A dream that would
come true.

I would pray to God
with all my heart
for yesterday and you.

A thousand words
can't bring you back,
I know because I've tried...

Neither will a million tears
I know because I've cried...
You left behind my broken heart
and happy memories too,

But I never wanted memories
I only wanted you.
People say this hurt wont last
But I think I'll miss you just as much
"till all my tears have passed...

Haden was born to his "Mama' Tori and his "Daddy" Michael on October 20,1992. He has a big brother Cameron who is now 7 years old and heaven has sent us a new blessing Grayson who was born and adopted on Sept.11,1998. Haden is the light of my life and will always be. He was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Myelodysplastic Syndrome (pre-leukemia) when he was 3 years old. He then was transported 5 hours away from home to undergo a bone marrow transplant. Haden Lost his battle on March 7,1997 after having many complications.

Haden was such a life lover. he thought there was no wrong or bad things. He loved and was loved by all who ever met him.. Haden touched so many lives while here for only a short 4 years. His willingness to do whatever is asked of him. never questioning his cancer or treatments. He just kept going.. He is my little fighter and I'm forever so proud of him.

Our life will never be the same without Haden in it. He was the smile on my face and he made my heart sing.

We will never let his life be forgotten. for as long as there is breathe in me Haden's name will be spoken and his life remembered.

We are so proud to have been called "Mama and Daddy" by the sweetest most precious boy ever...

We love you baby boy!!!!
Love
Mama and Daddy,
Cameron and Grayson
