I love you so much!!
Love,
Mommy
This memorial website was created in the memory of our beloved baby boy, Brayden Martin Altemier, who was born an angel on April 17, 2011. We miss him so much every single day.
"These are my footprints,
so perfect and so small.
These tiny footprints
never touched the ground at all.
Not one tiny footprint,
for now I have wings.
These tiny footprints were meant
for other things.
You will hear my tiny footprints,
in the patter of the rain.
Gentle drops like angel's tears,
of joy and not from pain.
You will see my tiny footprints,
in each butterflies' lazy dance.
I'll let you know I'm with you,
if you just give me the chance.
You will see my tiny footprints,
in the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind,
and call each one that grieves.
Most of all, these tiny footprints,
are found on Mommy and Daddy's hearts.
'Cause even though I'm gone now,
We'll never truly part."

"Daddy please don't look so sad, momma please don't cry.
Cause I'm in the arms of Jesus, and he sings me lullabies.
Please try not to question God, don't think he is unkind.
Don't think he sent me to you and then changed his mind.
You see I'm a special child, I am needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave Him, a product of your love.
I'll always be there with you, so watch the sky at night.
Look for the brightest star and know that's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a gentle breeze from a gentle wind that blows.
Know that it's me planting a kiss upon your nose.
When you see a child playing and your heart feels a tug,
Don't be sad mommy, that's just me giving your heart a hug.
So daddy don't looks so sad and momma please don't cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus and he sings me lullabies!

You never said you're leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That nobody could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

I ran across your menorial. What a beatiful poem I hope you dont mind but I copied to give to my son and his girlfriend. They lost their sweet little girl on May 25, 2011.She would have been 2 on July 20,2011. I cried when I read the poem I think that would be what she would have told her daddy and mama. She would have said the same words. I hope it gives them some comfort. GOD BLESS your family and may the sweet memory of Little Brayden live in your hearts forever. I will pray for your family. My granddaughter name is Skylar Marie Wilkins. So maybe they are in Heaven playing together as the little angels that they are. RIP LITTLE BRAYDEN AND SKYLAR
Our worst fear is that in a few months, or a few years, no one will remember Brayden! I am so thankful that my family and my closest friends are helping his memory live on! My niece and nephews talk about him all the time, and see pictures of him. They ask to hold his urn and they tell him all the time they love him! I am so thankful for that!
I want Brayden's memory to live on forever!! <3
