The night I put you to bed, June 28th, 2009.
That night we had your godparents over to play cards and for some reason that night I just didn't want to share you. You stayed on my lap while we played, just as content as can be. Your brother and sisters smothered you with kisses like usual. I will never forget that night, you just stared at me and I knew you were saying I love you momma! Brendan picked out your pajamas for the night....your lime green monkey onsie. We all thought you were our little monkey!!! I am so sorry we didn't get any more nights after that. I remember laying you down and wanting to just stare at you, but I figured I would just do that when you woke up at 1:30........I miss you baby boy.
How happy and proud your mommy and daddy were when you were born. The pictures from the hospital show proof. Your brother and sisters love you so much. They all wanted to be close to you and play with you all the time. Colin, you are treasured just for being you. You didn't have to do anything special or be spectacular. You are loved just because you are Colin. When mommy and daddy were putting the older kids to bed, I was holding you and you were screaming your head off. I just walked back and forth, back and forth, really fast, and stuck the bink in your mouth. Finally you stopped screaming at me and looked at me with those big eyes and I guess you realized that I was your gramma and so you didn't have to yell at me. You started studying everything around you. What intense eyes you have! Don't worry, no one will ever forget you. Love always, Gramma
