Yesterday was a tough day for Nick and myself. Our first son Rayce Jordan Moore was born at 27 weeks. As I went for my routine doctors appointment we found no heart beat. As there had been no prior problems we were devastated. Rayce would have been six years old. As Nick and I reflected back it is amazing the love and joy that our son brought without even taking a breath. Kasen and Avery talk about there brother often and yesterday Kasen decided that he would like to pick out the flowers that we would put on the grave. As I fought back tears the entire day Kasen at one point said, "mom you do not need to be sad. When you get old and when I get old we will get to go up to heaven. Mom when we get there we will be able to play and run around with Rayce all we want. Mom I really love my brother. "A smile came to my face and said yes that is right and off he ran. The faith that little children have is remarkable. We love you Rayce.

I can't believe it has been six years since Rayce was born. I will never forget the devastation in your mom's voice when I got the call. You must have a hard time each year. I'm sorry that I missed his birthday. Hope that Kasen made you feel at peace -- what a sweet boy.
The innocense and faith of little kids has brought my family through hard times as well. What a blessing to have them in your life. I did not know about Rayce. I'm sorry to hear about that, but Kasen's comments are true. You will all be together again in Heaven. Much love to you and your family!
Charese...you scared me for a minute. At first I thought you were talking about your current pregnancy! I am so sorry we weren't close friends when you went through that. Although I can only imagine that the kind of comfort that you needed would probally only be able to come from Heavenly Father...still I wish I could have been there for you. I remember days when we were inseparable...and I loved being with you and your family. You have always been a fun and great friend. I can tell you are a wonderful mother too. Your kids are adorable. I am sorry you have such a rough time getting them here. But I know that Rayce must have been a pretty amazing little guy to only have needed to be here for a moment. Just so you know...I think you are amazing and I love you!
I remember that day 6 years ago, like it was just yesterday. You & Nick & the family went through so much during that time. I still remember the day of the burial. Look at the changes that have come to your family since then. I try to visit Rayce when I come to Pahrump. It helps me to talk things over with him. He was a big help to me that first year that I left. Remember, that our children will say what is on their mind. I know that Kasen & Avery both knew their brother before they came to earth. Rayce will always be there to watch over all of you. I love you.
