The snow falls in gentle lazy circles
Painting my world
The snow crunches beneath my feet
And the wind nips at my nose
Home is in the distance
Smoke pours from the chimney
As I draw nearer I see a tree in the window
Decorated in silver and blue
Lights twinkling merrily
I cant wait to get home
It will be my sons first Christmas tomorrow
He loves the lights
Loves the music
But hes such a happy baby
Im finally home
Wheres Aidan?
I ask my wife
In his bed, sleeping.
Please dont wake him, he just stopped crying
She replied from the kitchen
I wont
I promise, knowing I will
Hes too beautiful to leave there
I tiptoe up the steps
Determined not to wake him this time
I open his door
I can see him laying there
When did he learn to roll over?
I wonder
Seeing him on his stomach
I cross the room
SOMETHINGS WRONG
His face is buried in his little pillow
Hes not breathing
I pick him up
He doesnt wake
I breathe into his little mouth
CALL 911
I yell to my wife
Breathe
Please breathe
I blow in again
Hes so cold
Hes not moving
I breathe into him again
Willing him to live
I rush down stairs
Holding him gently
Praying that my wife can fix him
She was always better with him
Shell make him live
She sees his lifeless body and starts crying
An ambulance siren is heard in the distance
Why is it taking so long?
Paramedics rush in
Im still trying to breathe life into him
They take him from me
They pronounce him dead at 6:57 pm
The lights twinkle on a blue and silver tree
Reflecting off an ornament that says
Babys first Christmas

I would'nt know what to do.
I imagine after something like
that your world would just stop.
The gentle christmas images
you use at first provide a stark and
interesting contrast to the tragedy
that follows and you keep the suspense
building to the last moment.
It was very sad but you did it quite
well. Truly , Doug
