Jayce Heffner, 6 weeks

Dec. 4, 2020 - January 19, 2021

Jayce,
Angels are too beautiful for earth and eventually they are called to come home. On December 4th, 2020 ,our beautiful angel, Jayce Carter, was born. In our eyes , he was the biggest blessing, the biggest gift we had ever received. We were so eager to meet him .. and when that day came we were instantly mesmerized by his bright eyes and the softness and warmth that came from his touch. There was nothing more perfect than Jayce. We had never seen something so pure, innocent , and full of love. At around 3am , January 19th, 2021 , at only 6 short weeks of life, our precious baby boy was sent home. It was too soon. There are so many things I could list that he will never get to experience.. but I’d rather admire everything he did and everything he was while he was here . Jayce had the cutest grin. He was already alert the moment we had brought him home, but he had truly just begun smiling and laughing these past two weeks. His eyes would light up when you fed him a bottle , or you would catch him amused by any cartoon or movie on a screen. Jayce loved attention .. he fussed the moment you laid him down in his bassinet , but the moment you picked him up he would collapse in your arms, laid up on your chest, and drift off to sleep. He slept like his mommy.. he loved to be on his side or on his tummy while he laid on you , he slept with his mouth wide open and he snored softly, you know he was sleeping good. Jayce never cried. He only cried when he was hungry and was immediately fixed when introduced with food .. just like his mother . He would stare at you for ages with big eyes and his mouth would form an “o” shape as if he were surprised. He would reach for your collar or grab onto your necklace . He loved his cuddles.. he loved being close . He loved warmth and felt safe close to your heart. His little hiccups, burps, sneezes, toots, whimpers, sighs.. were the most adorable thing in the whole world and it kills us we will never hear his little baby noises again. Jayce was our purpose . He was our motivation . Not having him with us today leaves us to a long road of recovery and healing , but all we can do is praise him and remember he will always be with us, maybe not physically but he’ll in our hearts and on our mind.
