Today has been a difficult end to a hard week for my cousin Tagen and her husband. Last night they got the results of the MRI on their sweet baby boy Paul. The results said that he had sever brain damage and would never be able to move or to speak. My cousins made a decision that I am convinced NO parent should ever have to make.
This morning my family went down to the NICU and gave baby Paul a blessing and said our goodbyes to this little (big) boy who blessed all of our lives for this short week that he was with us. A tearful and loving group came together to support and comfort our cousins, daughter, son, granddaughter, brother and sister in this hard time in their lives. They have shown us that with love we can make difficult decision and know that the decision is the right one for our family and us. I have never met anyone who could make such a hard decision and still be graceful and thankful and loving all at the same time. They are an example to us all, that love and family can get us through anything, not matter how hard it may be.
We love you Tagen and Eric and are here for you if and when you need support in this difficult time. I am blessed to have you both in my life and to have met your sweet baby Paul while he was with us.

I went to the blog, he is such a cute baby.... I am so sorry you all had to go through this, hopefully they know they made the right decision and he is in a better place.
I'm sorry you and your family had to go through this Meg! I can't even imagine the pain you all are feeling! I went to the blog to and bawled! That is so horrible but it sounds like he had a purpose on this earth and he served his purpose!
Meg,
Thank you for your sweet comments. I am so lucky that I have such a great family to support me through this trial.
Love,
Tagen
