in memory of our angel... 
we wanted him, we prayed for him~
he was loved long before he was born.
but on the day that became his birthday,
all our hearts could do was mourn.
~
he was a fighter from the beginning.
he defied the odds from early on.
auntie saw him on his ultrasounds,
perfectly developed, healthy, and strong.
~
but, in spite of all of mommy's great care
and daddy and brother's love,
our little jacob slipped away
to his new home in heaven above.
~
he went to sit on Jesus' lap
his little soul alive and free!
while his body was born here on earth,
already sleeping peacefully.
~oh! how we miss that boy!
we wonder what might have been...
would he have blond hair and sparkling blue eyes?
would he have a dimple on his chin?
~would he have a sweet smile like the brother's?
would he have his daddy's nose?
would mommy's curls sit atop his head?
right now, only Jesus knows.
~but someday we will see him
our little "angel jake"!
all because Jesus forgives our sins
and died on the cross for all our sake.
~so please think of my sweet little jacob
on this fourth day in december.
and a message to his mom and dad:
we WILL always remember.

Thank you....what a nice tribute.
Thinking of the Dorwins today - what a wonderful tribute - you have a way with words.
What a wonderful tribute..I'm sure Jacob is watching down over his family.
Words are so inadequate, but please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. May the love of the Christ of Christmas surround you with His comfort and peace.
Thank you family!! This is so beautiful to read.
