My Precious Nathan,

The first time I met you, you were only 9 months old. Your dad had just graduated from M.I.T in Boston. Your mother & dad left to find an apartment in New York. Poppy & Reesie spent nearly a week with you & Taylor. Unfortunately you had an earache & felt pretty rough. Poppy picked you up & that was the last time I got to hold you. You stuck yourself to Poppy’s chest with your little ear glued to his heartbeat. I changed your diapers on Poppy’s chest, fed you on Poppy’s chest, and even bathed you on Poppy’s chest. You laughed and smiled so cute as long as were stuck to your Poppy.

I have known you for 15 years and have seen you grow into such a gentle, caring young man. I have been on the receiving end of your sweet hugs & I will cherish those hugs. Your smile I have embedded in my heart. I will miss you here on earth, but I know your sweet spirit is with all of us.

Love, Reesie
