My Sweet Angel Nephew!

My Sweet Nephew Bronson passed away on July 31, 2013. Bronson was born with congenital heart disease, something our family has come to know over the past 5 years all too well. Karmindy was diagnosed with congenital heart disease after birth. Her defects were an ASD, VSD and a Coarc. We were surprised when we learned last year before Bronson was born that he was also going to be born with a heart defect. One that was so much more severe than our sweet daughter. Bronson's defect was called Hyper-plastic Left Heart Syndrome. It is basically where the left side of the heart doesn't develop.Over the past year of Bronson's life, I have been able to visit my sweet nephew on several occasions at Primary Children's Hospital. What a special experience it was to visit him there and I am grateful for the time that I was able to go and sit beside his bedside and caress his head and hold his tiny fists and feet in my hands. What a sweet and special little spirit he was and when he was feeling well, he radiated this love and a light that you don't in see too many people these days. He truly was a great little person and spirit! Bronson was a fighter and fought to live here on earth. He was a valiant spirit. He was an example to me and I am so proud to be his Auntie. I hope that he is looking down on his family here and is proud of us and is looking out for us! Four to Five months before Bronson's passing he was doing well and than one weekend he just went down hill. Looking back we know that it was his time to go. His mortal mission was complete. July 31st was a hard day for everyone. It was hard to say goodbye. My brother Kaden and my sweet sil Amber called us to tell us to come say our last goodbyes at Primary Children's Hospital. When we arrived, it was hard to see Bronson so swollen and in complete misery. I felt for him and wanted to take it from him. When we were there to see him, he was relying completely on life support. I have never had to say goodbye to someone that I was this close to and it was hard. I am so grateful for my belief in Forever Families and I know that one day I will get to see my sweet nephew again. After Bronson passed, I was able to go with Kaden and Amber to buy something for Bronson to wear at his funeral. It was a special experience for me and I am glad that I could be apart of it.

On Saturday August 3rd, we traveled to Southern Utah for Bronson's funeral and graveside service. His Funeral was held on Monday August 5th. It was so nice to be with family and celebrate Bronson's life. Bronson's funeral was a beautiful one. Bronson looked like an angel in his crisp, white tux. He really looked like the most handsome little angel boy. I remember gazing at him as he lay, and thought he truly was the most angelic little spirit. I love you Bronson! Thank you for your sweet and perfect example you are to your family and extended family. Even though your life was a short one here on this earth, your life touched so many! May we make you proud and I can't wait to hold you again soon! I love you sweet boy!
