We are going to the Coroners office this morning to pick up Sage's things. The sail boat quilt he liked to sleep on top of and the quilt Aunt Amanda made for him that covered him, it was this blanket that was found wrapped around his face. Crystal purchased a gift for Payten, a Fisher Price glow/singing sea horse, and Sage LOVED it. So of course we had to go back and buy one for him. He went to sleep with that every since. Then there are the jammies I bought him for Christmas.
The sailboat quilt he was laying on.
We were sick to our stomach's watching the detectives photograph then place his things in a bag and carry them out to the police car. We asked them if we would get them back and they said they would mail them to us when the investigation was closed. I have worried about the day his stuff would arrive in the mail and prayed it wouldn't be on somone's birthday or even Christmas. Instead they called and made a 9:30am appointment to come pick up his things. I'm so thankful they didn't just arrive out of the blue one day. Another tender mercy.
The quilt Amanda made for him.
This will be difficult...but we are SO blessed to have had him in our lives. I'm so thankful for Sage and all that he has taught me and for every thing I continue to learn from him. What a perfect little boy!

What a precious picture. You are all in our prayers, especially today.
I know first hand how the images of the terrible day that our son died are etched in my head. I couldn't bear to hardly look/touch my baby because his body without his soul was so empty to me. I didn't even want to know how my husband found him or how exactly he died in his crib because I was afraid of the image stuck in my head.
I did find out the details and although those things will never leave my head, I am going on day by day.
I pray that you all find peace and some comfort in the items that you receive. I'm sure that it will be difficult, but you seem like such a wonderfully close family. You all have so much support that you can lean on each other.
I know that Sage and Caleb are full of joy and will be eternally.
With love and hope,
