Every morning I wake up and look at this face and wonder how much you two resemble each other. I never saw your eyes since you were "born sleeping". It's something I've wondered about since we buried you. I was even tempted to look when I held you in my arms but I was so afraid. I wish I hadn't been as afraid. I wish I had had the courage to look at your eyes, to examine every perfect little part of you. But I didn't and now as I look at your brother I wonder how similar the two of you are. I sit and stare at this perfect human being and wonder if your eyes were the same. Did you have those big bright eyes that your brother has? I'll never know now and that just is another thing to be sad about.
You are never far from my mind. I love you and miss you every day.
