    It is with a very heavy heart that I am typing this.
    Mike Lee(Crossin Eyes here on IDA)and his wife Rachel lost their unborn child last Thursday. There were complications with the pregnancy, they were only a few weeks away from being able to deliver him early.
    Please keep the Lee family in your prayers.

    This is something Heidi(Walleye-brat) wrote and I thought I would share it with all of you.

    Little Nathan said goodbye
    this morning, July 7
    his journey here on earth was through
    he’s gone to brighten heaven

    Anyone can make a baby
    but it takes a special pair
    to make a precious angel
    and let him go live there.

    This angel touched your hearts
    For only just a while
    To teach you what it means to love
    And show you how to smile

    He couldn’t stay for very long
    For God would call him home
    But he left behind his memory
    To carry as you roam

    It’s hard to understand just why
    God wouldn’t let him stay
    You had so many plans for him
    and lots of games to play.

    But now there are only tears to shed
    And questions left for later
    but don’t forget, this is not goodbye
    but simply “see you later”

    For one day the skies will open
    God’s hands will gently unfold
    and in them Nathan will await
    for you to finally hold

    So until that day, hold on mom and dad
    Keep his memory bright and strong
    For the time will come you’ll hold him tight
    and rock him to sleep with song.

    through our struggles and hardships you find out who really cares for you, and who the true friends are. I have to admit, I have had a serious flood of emotions this week that I thought that I had gotten over 3 years ago. I am truely sorry to hear of all of the bad news and my thoughts and prayers are there for you and your family. I sure wish there was more I could do, but praying is a good thing.

    All my prayer and deepest sympathies for this couple. This difficult event has a strong history in my family tree so I’ve seen first hand how this can effect a couple and their relationship. If I can be so bold, allow me to encourage you to just look to the Lord and let Him lead you in love and peace. It’s nobody’s fault. Love each other more now than ever and you’ll get through…….. tested, but stronger and closer.

    I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t even begin to imagine what you are feeling right now. Rest assured my dog who we had to put to sleep the same day is watching over your little guy, giving him all the kisses he can handle and I am sure they are great friends already. Hang in there.

    Thanks to everyone for such kind words. It’s been a very tough week for us, but our faith and our strength is strong and we will make it through. It helps to have so many friends with such nice thoughts and prayers to help us. I shared this thread with my wife and she was overwhelmed by the responses.
    We are having little Nathan cremated and are taking him to our favorite little panfish and walleye lake in Northern Minnesota. Our family has spent Memorial Weekend there for many years and it has a very fond place in our hearts. We will sprinkle his little ashes in “Bluegill Bay”. I can’t think of a better memorial.

    Kindest Regards,

    Mike and Rachel Lee

    My heart goes out to you, I lost my fishing partner (son) 2 years ago. Maybe in the future when your ready again, Bluegill Bay will be your next childs favorite place to fish. I know I have favorites of mine. Take Care. FISHINFOOL

    I can’t think of a more fitting memorial either Mike. It gave me goosebumps reading that. God entrusted his angel to a very special family and you didn’t let Him down. Give Aaron two hugs each night….. one for him and one for his little brother.

    My thoughts and prayers remain with Rachel, Aaron and you. Take care of each other.
