and your precious boy have all our love and support in this heart-and-gut-wrenching moment. He knows that you love him, and he knows you did your best. When the time comes tomorrow, if he does not leave tonight, know that we are there for both of you. And know that the love in your eyes and heart are what he will carry with him. I am sending my babies to the Bridge to wait for him. He will not be alone, and neither are you.
