Our son was born and died last night

[JamStone]

My deepest condolences. I hope both of you can get through this difficult time. And I hope that you and your wife and your family stay strong for each other. You have my prayers.

[Stringer_Bell]

Our prayers and well wishes are with you and your family, SFIE.

I cannot possibly imagine the pain you are feeling, but my heart is breaking for you. I wish I knew what to say.

Yesterday, for reasons that we will likely never know, my wife began having contractions. Shortly before 8 pm she delivered our son, Gabriel Ross. He died not long after in our arms. He was just over 20 weeks old. In what brief time we had with him we told him that we loved him, and how sorry we were. He had my eyes and her nose.

This place has always meant a great deal to Elizabeth and I. It has meant a lot to share in our joy with all of you. I just wish I had a happy ending to this story to share with you now. Don't miss a chance to tell someone how much you love them.

Oh my goodness, that's so horrible. My wife is 7 1/2 months along, and I was just thinking about this possibility. Absolutely terrible. My heart goes out to you both.

None of us posses the words to take away the pain, but know that all of your extended family here at ST will be keeping you in our thoughts. It's just not right when terrible things like this happen to such good people. You have my most sincere condolences. Everytime easjer posted, I'd check the progress in her sig. Be strong and hang in there the best you can. God is now watching over young Gabriel.

I wish you well in the difficult days ahead of you. It's unnatural to bury a child. My heart goes out to you. I've been at Spurstalk for about five years and we don't have much personal contact, but know that your sense of humor and wisdom have not gone unnoticed.

I like your happy ending; even in the brief time you knew him, you learned something from your son. I buried my father three years ago and how I treated him in his last days was not great. That taught me to never let loved ones leave your presence without letting them know what they mean to you. It may be the last time you have the opportunity to do so.

No one can take away the pain you'll be feeling, and I think if you gave them the choice, you wouldn't let them. Just remember each time you and Elizabeth feel pain it just because you loved your son.

Stay strong. Feel it all, and as always, continue to learn from him.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

My heart deeply goes out to you and your family. Please hug you wife and hold her through this difficult time.

[Sense]

My deepest condolences... Stay strong you and your wife.

[benefactor]

Wow man...I can't even imagine. From one father to another, my heart goes out to you. I pray for strength, peace and healing during this difficult time.

[spursfan09]

Wow. I am truly sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts.

[z0sa]

my thoughts, prayers and tears are with you.

[Fpoonsie]

I'm so sorry for your loss. As several have already mentioned, you bring such joy and laughter to this site, it almost makes it even harder to hear, knowing none of us can bring a smile to your face during such a tumultuous time. Take care, guys.

[Kori Ellis]

How heartbreaking. Take care of Elizabeth and know that a lot of people care about you both and are sending prayers and good thoughts your way. R.I.P. Gabriel Ross.

as often as we all argue and make jabs at eachother on this forum, be it points of view in life, religion or politics, its threads like this that really show no matter how far apart we are in regards to the internet, we are still pretty close to being family.

I'm trully sorry for your loss as a family. Regardless of being someone I personally dont know, I still consider you and Easjer as friends (and that goes for everyone else here) despite any arguements we may have had or will have. Sometimes on the internet its easy to forget the poster on the other side is a real person and its posts like this that really hit it home. I hope that you and Elizabeth can put this terrible tragedy behind you at some point and end up having a healthy baby child. You have my sincerest condolances.

I realize all of these posts by us just look like words on a page like we are going through the motions, but I hope I speak for everyone here, that is not the case at all. Seriously, if you two need anything I will help out in any way that I personally can.

[it's me]

no words.....

[Kermit]

I don't pray, but tonight I'll make an exception. I'll pray that the two of you can find some comfort in what must be an unfathomably difficult time. I'll also thank whatever omnipotent being is out there that you got to spend some precious time with your son before he passed.

[CuckingFunt]

I suck at condolences, since I so seldom find them comforting, but I'm sending a ton of positive energy your way.

[timvp]

That is horrible news.

Stay as strong as possible and know that Gabe is in a better place.

[jaffies]

It's as impossible for me to express my heartbreak over a message board as much as it is to imagine yours.

I'm deeply sorry.

[sa_kid20]

Damn, there's no way I could ever figure out what to say after hearing something like that. I'm so sorry man.

[SequSpur]

wow...man.. i don't know what to say...I will definitely say a prayer for you bro...hang in there...

[mrcoon29]

My condolences to you both - I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Gabriel..such a beautiful and strong name.

[pawe]

I know the terrible feeling you both have right now as the same thing happened to me and my wife 2 yrs ago with our first baby. Support and prayers are definitely helpful and I will be saying one for your family.
