Strong Max
Max passed away about 10 min ago around 10:15am cuddling with his mommy and daddy. They were surrounded by friends and family! There was more love than you can even imagine. What a beautiful baby boy! He took one last look at his mama and then he just let go peacefully. Thank you everyone for your prayers and support. we know Max is with our loving heavenly father!

Praying.... and praising God for the short time you had with Max.
Tears....What a blessing you were able to meet your beautiful baby boy. It's times like these I cannot understand God's will and why he feels this beautiful baby is better with him than his mommy and daddy. We have to believe there is a reason and know that God has healed him completely. So sorry for your loss, i pray for you during this very difficult time.
Still praying for you: for God's peace to be with you and your family.
Oh Trish and Dustin... I am so, so sorry....
I cannot understand YOUR pain in losing Max, but I can understain THE pain of losing a precious baby boy so shortly after birth... that time with Isaac is still so fresh in my heart and mind.
I am praying, praying, praying...

My heart goes out to you and your wonderful family. Isn't it such a beautiful blessing to know that even though your time with Max was short this isn't the end! Our loving Heavenly Father embraces your bundle with pure love and may his arms be wrapped around you through this time. Your story has seriously inspired me and I feel the love of his spirit will get your strong family through this. God Bless!
Praying without ceasing for your precious family. Praying for peace of mind, for healing, for comfort and for you to allow HIM to hold you, as only HE can.

My heart is aching for you today. Continuing to pray.......
Max was so beautiful. My heart hurts for you today. I am continuously praying for you to feel the Love and Peace that only He can give to you today.
Hugs and prayers,

My heart is aching for you..the pictures of Max are beautiful. What a precious time spent with your son. It will never be enough time but he knew the love of his mommy and daddy. You did an amazing job of nurturing and mothering him in the 37 wks he lived in you and for he hours he spent in your arms. Tears run down my cheeks as I think about the journey of healing that lies ahead of you. You are not alone in your grief, our heavenly father is strong and can carry you. Life does give us more than we can handle sometimes...but at the end of ourselves is where He takes over. That is when we trully learn to lean on Him. Grieve well sister ...cry, scream , yell...and lean. You're in my prayers.
My heart goes out to you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart goes out to you. Words could never express all that I feel for you right now. Your family is in my prayers.
My prayers are with you. You are in His grip.
Max's life has truly touched thousands of lives! Your blog story has been read over 22,000 times, what a miracle Max has been and a true gift from God. Thank you for sharing Max's life with all of us. Praying for you and your family that they continue to have strength through such an unimaginable time.
So many thoughts and prayers for you and your beautiful boy, Max.
You had such a short time to show Max a lifetime of love! I know he felt your love in your arms as he now feels it with Jesus.
May you find peace and strength in the difficult time to come
Trish and Dustin,
My heart is so sad that this immeasurably beautiful blessing you were blessed with was so short in time. As life speeds by us and we pause to look back, it is always the moments that make the whole journey so amazing. You had nearly three hours full of moments that you will carry in your hearts and until you hold your son in heaven again. Your Maxson is absolutely beautiful and he has touched my heart and life so deeply, as have both of you. I will be praying for you during this bittersweet time which wraps up the very best and the very hardest that life can bring. I am so grateful that you had those precious moments with your darling angel boy. He has earned his wings and is now in the very worthy company of so many other precious angels now.
A warm sad hug,
Christena
Praying for you. I am so sorry. My heart is breaking for you.
I do not know what it is like to lose a child...I have no idea how that feels...but I know that God knows. He understands your pain (more than any one else could). Cling tightly to Him during this time and know that you are being lifted up to Him in prayer. Close your eyes and feel His powerful arms close around you in a warm fatherly embrace. Know that in our hearts we are joining Him in that embrace as express our love and compassion to you.
In Him,
Rachel
Wow....what a roller coaster you guys have been on today! So sorry for the loss of Max. What a blessing for the time you had with him....not even close to enough in the eyes of any parents, but he has a perfect nursery in heaven!
We're praying for you guys.
Miranda and Jason
I happened upon your blog through the Roberts' and have been checking in all day. Little Max you are with your Father now and although you will be missed, your life will serve such a huge purpose through those who you leave behind. Trish and Dustin- know that you are being blanketed with prayer today. May God hold tight his hands against your broken heart. You and your family is very cared for... by people you don't even know. May God's plan continue to unfold before you and may His peace wrap around you in sweet comfort.
I'm so very sorry for your loss and praying for your family.

Max is so beautiful.We thank God for the time he was here and able to be with his family. God must have wanted him to be with Him pretty bad. Max is so precious!

I really don't know what to say. I am very glad you and Max got a chance to meet each other face to face. There is no doubt in my mind that he knew how much you loved and wanted him here. He is a perfect little boy...completely healed!! He is with our Heavenly Father watching over you both!
I do not know what it's like to lose a child...I can't even wrap my mind around it. Know that you have many, many people praying for you still.
Sincerely,

My heart goes out to you. Your sweet little boy is with my precious twin girls Aubrey and Ellie in heaven. They have been waiting for him since July. I know your pain and pray for your healing. I have held my babies as they went to be with Jesus too. I know the blessing of knowing them and the devastation of losing them.
I don't know what else to say.
What a beautiful beautiful angel. My life is different now that I saw his little angel face.
Godbless you and your family.
Thank you Jesus for the precious time Max spent with his family.

You are in Leah and my prayers. The 3hrs you spent with your son will live in your memories for ever. Max had a birthday! You met your son and he is beautiful. Max and our son Christian are the lucky ones. They had parents that did not give up on them, even with the odds against them (T18).
God bless your family,

You're on my heart and in my prayers today.
Congratulations on the birth of little Max! What a tough little guy! He is such an adorable and handsome baby. May you continue to treasure every memory you were able to have with your son.
"When the Lord closes a door, somewhere he opens a window."
I always think of this saying when I feel life gets too hard and it helps me get thru it.
I found your blog last week and have been keeping up with it since. You both have such a strong faith, so strong, that words cannot describe.
My family and I will continue to pray for you both throughout the holiday season. Never lose sight and always continue to have faith. You have inspired so many people to rethink God's messages with your journey. You both are such angels.
Merry Christmas

Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for you and your family right now. We are so sorry for your loss, but are thankful the Lord let you hold him and love him for a short time. You will always have that memory and may that be enough to warm your hearts. I know he will be in your thoughts everyday as will you be in his everyday. The Lord will hold him for you untill you someday join him in that heavenly place. May God ease your pain and hold you close to him. God Bless Todd and Sara Wagner and family.
My prayers are with you. Max is beautiful.
Praying, praying, praying for you! As I sit hear in my flood of tears looking at your beautiful baby I don't know exactly your pain, but I understand your love as a mother. Such a deep love even felt before we meet our babies. May you feel God's presence with you...lifting your names in prayer tonight.~new reader praying in TN, Heidi
