Today, I'm going thru classes as a zombie. My baby bro's son passed away Saturday. Baby boy Jayden was only 19 months old and maybe too smart for his age. He was at his grandparents house, his mom's parents, and slipped out the patio beyond anybody's attention. When his mother found him he had gotten passed the child safety locks on his grandparents' hot tub. This poor mother found her baby, drowned in the hot tub, and immediately attempted to perform CPR. Her younger son ran to get his grandparents. The grandmother is an RN and her attempts at CPR failed to revive him, so baby boy Jayden passed onto God's hands September 12, 2009 @ 7:15pm. I've been a wreck trying to find ways to console my brother and her.They had to come to a difficult decision and decided to donate their baby boy's organs to give another child a chance to live. To add to my brother's pain, he's really missing our mom right now. He keeps looking to me for answers "why, sis, why my baby?!!" I'm truly at a lost for words. I'm the oldest of 6 and I've always been the one all my siblings run to for their troubles, frustrations, etc, especially after my mother passed. So, here I sit, with nothing but silence and love as answers to his questions. May God give me strength to be strong enough for them. He finds himself faithless and lost right now, but I told him that I'll have faith for the both of us and that I'll keep the path lighted until he finds his way back. But truthfully, I find my own faith shaken too. Please pray for my brother and his wife, for on September 16, 2009, they will put to rest their baby boy Jayden Gomez, gone too soon.
†Rest in Peace Baby Boy Jayden†
