Sweet Landon was born on June 19, 2009, and was called home by the LORD on August 15,2009. His time on this Earth was not long enough for all the love his family had to give, but this innocent baby made a huge impact on many lives. He has changed the hearts of all who "knew" him, and will forever be missed.
Thank you baby Landon for coming into our lives. Your presence has brought us closer to our maker! We can't wait until the day we see you again! It's calming to know that you are free of pain, and tubes. In my dreams I see you running, jumping, playing, and cuddling in the arms of Jesus. It warms my heart knowing that your passing was from your earthly father to your heavenly father. You looked so angelic at the services. The image of you that day is like no other. Thank you for making me a first time aunt. I am so proud of how hard you fought to live this life. I will love you forever!
A friend of mine from my mommy board named Sarah sent me this poem. She found it on this blog. http://www.carepages.com/blogs/lossofachild/posts It really touched my heart, as well as other family members. Thank you Sarah, and thank you to all the other mom's on my board who took care of my heart during the Summer of Landon! It will never be forgotten!!!!
"I'll lend you for a little time, a child of mine," God said,
“For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be for six or seven years, or twenty-two or three;
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for Me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you;

It may be for six or seven years, or twenty-two or three;
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for Me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you;
and should his stay be brief,
You’ll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked the wide world over, in search of teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call, to take him back again?
I fancied that I heard you say, ‘Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child will bring, the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness; we’ll love him while we may
And for the happiness that we have known, forever grateful stay.
And should the angel call him much sooner than we’ve planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand’.”

Misty- Sarah gave you a great poem! Thank you for letting us into your life and knowing just a little part of Landon!
Thank you Misty for writing a beautiful piece about our little Landon.
I could not have said it better myself. Landon is missed and loved so much.
