LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER MOMMY

I havent gotten on here lately, and I dont know why. Im so sorry I havent written you anything on here in the past few months. Part of me wants to just block it all out and pretend nothing ever happened to my sweet Landon, but the other part of me thinks of your precious little face each and every day and it just kills me to think about it. I just dont want to imagine how you were feeling, what you were thinking, how scared you were, the look on your face, or how much pain you were in on the morning of January 6, 2008. The worst day of my entire life. I sometimes just sit and think about all the plans me and your mommy had for you and Kailyn. All the little Wal Mart trips with you two, all of the pictures we were going to have taken, all of the things we were going to teach the two of you, how close you and Kailyn were supposed to be, the things we would do when you two were going through your 'terrible twos' stage. It all brings a smile to my face but yet tears are rolling down my checks. It just wasn't supposed to happen this way, it just wasn't. I just knew God had a different plan. Things were going soooo good. It still shocks me to this day that you are actually gone. I try and tell myself that you are so much happier in Heaven. Wednesday was 7 months and i didnt even realize it. I really need you to send me little signs to let me know you're okay. There is not a day that goes by that I dont think of your sweet, beautiful face, and your ten little toes and ten little fingers, Your big, beautiful brown eyes-they were so beautiful, your perfect little body that wasnt perfect at all but to me and everyone that loves and cares about you it was more than perfect. You were just so perfect in every way, I just dont understand how this could happen to such a perfect little boy. I still dont think that its fair, you were such a fighter. Today I found this girl on myspace, I dont even know her name but her fiance' is a Marine just like mine. On June 19, 2008 he was killed serving over seas. My heart broke for her and her family. To see the pain in her eyes in her pictures just killed me, and literally tears were rolling down my face. I didnt understand it because I dont even know this girl but something just hit me like I had known them both. I just wanted to say a little prayer for her and her family to you and God and ask you two to help this girl and her family stay strong through this. Watch over them and help ease their pain. Landon, I need you and God to help me watch over Kailyn and Johnny. PLEASE keep them both safe and healthy! I couldn't handle life without either one of them. Please help me keep them safe, I am so scared of living this life in the Military. I need you two to help me stay strong, especially when deployment time comes around. So many thoughts and 'what ifs' are running through my mind and it all just scares me so bad. Landon, I love you so very much and I know you are watching over us all and listening to every little thing we have to say to you. I love you and I dont want you to ever forget that. I wish so bad that I could have just gotten the chance to show you how much I love you. I know that you know how much I do though. I hope you've been having good days in Heaven, and you've been playing hard with your Angel friends. Tell my PawPaw Howard and my dear friend Ross that I said Hi! I hope that you've met them! They are both amazing people! Tell everyone else I said Hi also!! We all love and miss you so much sweet baby. Good Night.

I love you...

Aunt Jen

My Angel Landon,

Pawpaw is not doing real good right now and I wanted to let you know so that you can keep a special watch over him right now. We need a miracle from God so could you put in a request for pawpaw. All of us will also be praying really really hard. Pawpaw's arteries in both sides of his neck are blocked, one is totally blocked and the other is partially blocked and at his age to fix this is very dangerous and life threatening and as much as he wants to be reunited with you, he also wants to see his grandchildren and great grandchildren grow up some more. So please take special care of him during this time. As always Angel, I love and miss you so much and wish that you were here with us.

Love Forever,

Aunt Becky

Hello sweet one I was thinking about  you and missing you alot more today than usual and remembering how I use to feel when I didn't get to see you for a few days and how the trip to the hospital seemed so long to get there and how I couldnt wait to see you and kiss you and tell you how much I love you. I often wonder how things would be if you were still here and would you be at home or still in the hospital. I know that you are in the best of hands now but I just cant help wishing that you were in mine somtimes. I miss you and love you always and forever.

Love you so much, Gammy

I will always remember the day that I read about Landon.  My heart sank for your family because I saw you about to enter into the dialysis journey along with all the other complications that Landon had just as my precious angel Jacob had.  I knew it was going to be a long, hard road ahead but I had to see you to lend you my support because I know how it feels to have a baby born with problems that no other baby has experienced and survived.  The doctors cannot give you straight answers.  Jacob was never supposed to have survived so there were no other parents that I could talk to to help me cope with what my baby was going through.  I did not want you to feel alone and even though Jacob and Landon did not have the exact same medical problems, they did share one thing in common..........they both had lung and kidney problems and I know how difficult it can be to sit in the NICU hour after hour at your baby's bedside not knowing from one minute to the next if they were going to make it.  I felt an immediate connection with your family when I read about Landon on MySpace.  I knew I had to come see this special baby. My parents came to visit first and they called me as soon as they left the hospital and told me that I had to come visit Landon because he reminded them so much of Jacob and that he was such a sweet little baby boy.  I told them that I was going to visit the next week because I was sick and didn't want to make him sick.  So I went the following week on my lunch hour and had the pleasure of visiting with Landon.  I did not get the chance to meet any of the family because they had all gone to eat lunch but being that I had spent so much time in the PICU the doctors and nurses allowed me to pray for Landon and spend time just stroking his little head and holding his sweet little hands.  I left with a deep love for this special child.  I went back later and had the chance of meeting his sweet mom, Amber and on that day Landon had not been feeling good and refused to sleep.  I remember standing there patting him on the butt as he sat in his bouncey seat while talking to his mom and he slowly drifted off to sleep.  Amber was amazed and it made me feel so wonderful that even though I could not hold Landon that I did give him comfort. 

I am very proud of Amber and her family for doing everything they could possibly do to help Landon have a normal life but as we all know, it wasn't in God's plans and that is so hard for us to understand but we will find out His reasoning one day when we are reunited with our special angels.

I pray that God continues to give you and your family comfort and strength for the many days to come.  Amber, I pray comfort for you on Mother's Day especially.  I know your pain, it will be my 2nd Mother's Day without my special angel also.  I love you and your family and if there is ever anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to call me.

How very sad that you lost your child...how very wonderful, you were blessed for even a short time with such an brave young child. I can't imagine your pain. As a mother I feel it. My son is grown now, but once you are a parent/mother, you keenly know what this means. May God Bless you and give you the strength to endure until you meet again.

God Bless you and your family. You are in my Prayers.

Lisa 

Baby Landon,

As I sit here, reading your family's devotion and love for you, I have tears streaming down my face...you are so beautiful and loved by everyone that see's your smile. 

I am a mommy of a little heart baby named Nikolas (now 5 mths old).  I cannot imagine what your mommy and daddy must be going through right now...I am so sorry!!  I will pray for you all..baby Landon is an inspiration, he fought to live each and every day that he was here....He reminds us, not to take our kids for granted and to appreciate every single moment . 

Love, Shanlee Perrone (shanleemae1@aol.com)

THANK YOU FOR THE RAINBOW

I came across Sweet Baby Landon's website from Jacob's site.  This is one of the most beautiful tributes.  I can't say that I know or can understand how Landon's family feels because I don't.  I can only express to them my deep heartfelt sympathy.  I am honored to have been able to "know" Landon through this precious site dedicated to him.  I am amazed at the struggles and trials that precious angel faced and overcame!!  Someone said he was the definition of a TRUE HERO!  In reading his legacy I can only agree that Landon is every bit the definition of hero. 

A friend of mine lost her angel boy at the age of 2 - on the day he joined the angels in heaven - there were rainbows.  We look at rainbows as a special sign from him.  I hope that Landon has a special way of letting you all know how close he is and that he is okay.  May God Bless your family and provide you with strength to face each day and the knowledge that he will carry you when you can't find that strength.  Sending many prayers of peace, comfort, and hugs to you all.

In Christian Love,

Misty

Dear Precious Landon,

     There is nothing about you that I do not think is simply amazing. I tell your  journey to all that will listen,and I want you to know that I love you, and you are without a doubt my hero. You have taught me so much about so many things. To take time to enjoy my kids more and let the housework go...you also taught me that you can love a complete stranger without ever meeting them at all. I can honestly say I love you Landon, and I have never gone a day without thinking of you, or picturing that gorgeous face in my head. I hope you have a fantastic 1st Birthday in heaven. We will be letting off balloons for you sweetheart, and I know you will get them. Please be with your family tomorrow as I know they will be missing you so badly, keep an extra special eye on your Mommy because I know she is hurting awfully bad right now for you. Please give her some king of sign that you are okay, I bet she needs that now so much. Tomorrow the Heavens will be flooded with balloons just for you my love, may your day be as perfect as you are.

                                                    Play hard, rest well, 

                                                            Love you baby,

                                                                 Jen

My sweet punkindoo, just 2 days to go and we will be flooding the heavens with thousands of birthday balloons from all over the world. So many people have e-mailed wanting to participate in your 1st Birthday celebration on Friday from all over the world. I wish that we could be there with you to see your beautiful brown eyes light up as you recieve them.

I know that Jesus, Great Grandma Coggins, Aunt Bessie, Aunt Louise, Jacob, Shaun, and all your little angel friends have a big celebration planned for you in heaven.

I love you and miss you so much and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I am so proud that you are my nephew. You are the most courageous little boy that have ever known and will always be "My Little Miracle and Hero".

Love, Aunt Becky

My Sweet little Angel in Heaven, I am thinking of you so much today. It is your cousin Kailyn's (my granddaughter) 1st birthday and we are celebrating with her today. But I can't help but wish that you were here with us to celebrate it with her too. You know that we will be thinking of you and I will be feeling your presence as we celebrate her day with her. Punkin please be with us today and give us some kind of sign that you are here to celebrate with us. We miss you so much and want you with us too. Celebrate her day in heaven with your angel friends and send her kisses from heaven. I love you and miss you always baby.

Love forever, Aunt Becky

My sweet little Landon, I am missing you so much these days. I went to the Doctor with Kailyn today and I saw a little baby boy who had eyes that reminded me of yours and tears came to my eyes. It reminded me of the times when I would come to see you and you would look at me with those big beautiful brown eyes that just glowed when I talked to you. God how I miss those days with you. You know you have your 1st birthday coming up on the 27th of this month and I plan to get a balloon release and have people from all over sending you happy 1st birthday balloons to you in heaven. Baby you are still so loved by so many and missed by so many all over the world. You are still touching the lives of people everywhere with your amazing courage and bravery that you had here on earth. I love and miss you soo much and I know that Mommy does too, it is still just so hard for her to come to your web-sites and write to you. But you and I both know that one day she will be stronger and will come here more. I know that she talks to you and comes to see you at your gravesite. Punkindoo, I am going for now but will be back for sure you can count on that. I love you, forever.

Aunt Becky
