This is a true story about love, loss and healing. What was supposed to be a time of joyous celebration instead turned into one of profound grief when we lost Mason on December 14, 2013. The healing process, while harder than I ever thought was possible, drew us closer together as a family and taught me that we are all much stronger than we ever could have imagined. I know my strength came from the Lord. There is no way I could have made it through this without him. The strength, courage, and love exhibited between Jesse and Yvette during this tragic and heart-breaking loss was extraordinary. I have never been so proud of the both of them in the way they conducted themselves and comforted each other during this most difficult time. Although he didn't get to take a breath in this life, Mason's very existence has touched our hearts and our lives forever. Mason is our angel in Heaven now and we can't wait until the day comes when we can all be with him, together again I hope Mason's story, although heart-breaking, brings strength and comfort to others who may find themselves in similar circumstances.
