At Christmas, I purchased a Precious Moments figurine of a little boy laying on a cloud to rest on top of Justin Gabriel's urn as a symbol of his peaceful slumber. Daddy never forgets to say hello, goodbye (when he goes to work) and goodnight (when we go to sleep) along with keeping his little light on. Although, I could have never thought Justin Gabriel would be in our lives in this way, he will always be a part of us.
A wife who loses a husband is called a widow.
A husband who loses a wife is called a widower.
A child who loses a parent is called an orphan.
There is no word for a parent who loses a child.
That's how awful the loss is.
