Baby Brigham Returns to Heavenly Father

Baby Brigham died January 27th at 11:30pm. Justin and Rebecca were able to hold him for the first time after all the tubes and machines were removed. His little lungs just weren't able to provide the oxygen he needed for his body and his lungs just weren't able to develop normally due to the diaphramatic hernia.
Justin commented that he made a couple of little gasps and then was gone. Justin said he felt that noble spirits were there in the room with them to meet Brigham and take him home. The nobility I have seen in my son and Rebecca is just awe inspiring and I am so proud of them.
His funeral was held February 1, 2011 at 10:00 with a beautiful memorial and then followed by the graveside service. This cemetary is an absolutely beautiful setting with well manicured lawns and flowers and palm trees. There is a section of the cemetary called "BabyLand" just for babies and that was just so sweet, tender and precious as well as heart wrenching.
Justin carried his sweet baby boy to his final resting place and it broke my heart as I watched him carry his baby son's body in the beautiful tiny white casket. to the cemetary.
20 white balloons were released into the air by family members celebrating the 20 days he was here on earth with us.
He touched many people's lives, including his nurses, doctors and other patient families.
His little girlfriend, next door in the NICU, Alana also had the same congential problem and just recently passed away last week.
These tiny precious spirits that have touched our lives will forever change us as well. Brigham will help us strive to be better, stronger, more faithful individuals so we may one day live with him again.
Justin and Rebecca have been amazing in their faith and the strength to do all they have had to do the past several weeks. Even though they knew there was this possibility, they didn't allow themselves to think about that, their hope was always for a miracle. A miracle has come in the form of the strength to go on, courage to face the sad days ahead and faith that they (we) can be together forever. Carrie is indeed another miracle in their lives. She will be their greatest joy and bring them their greatest comfort.
