I am so, so sorry for the loss of beautiful Teddy. Your story has deeply resonated with me - my daughter, Robin, was born still at 39 weeks last June. It is the worst thing a person can go through. The most pain I’ve ever felt and continue to manage. I hope you know you’re not alone. Thank you for sharing Teddy’s story so beautifully.

To answer the question you used to ask when you were little, yes, honey, I am impressed with you. Oh, Sav, I am so impressed with you. You are the best mom.

What an honor to read Teddys story, written so beautifully. Brought tears to my eyes but also a smile to my face. Your son is gorgeous, I hope you always feel him close. Thanks for sharing ❤️

Your loss is enormous and you’re navigating it with such strength, honoring your son. I came across your post coincidentally after finding out about another pregnancy loss of my own. Each loss is its own sort of devastation, but your story and writing touched me and I wanted you to know that.

Your family and friends also sound amazing, being there for you in an impossible time. (I think) you’ll be so glad you wrote this all down for Teddy and yourself. ❤️

Thank you for finding the words to share -I too feel that there’s healing for you and others in that, and keeping him alive, in your life is beautiful and a worthy tribute of love.

Teddy is absolutely beautiful, and I am so happy to hear that you had this time with him, to see him, to have a vision to store in your mind and heart. You two are and forever will be great parents.

Sending you love and hugs and a huge heaven hello to Teddy.

My dearest Savannah and Paul, what a beautiful tribute to your sweet Teddy. When My brother called to tell me the news of Teddy passing, I was shocked, I really didn’t know what to say to his grandpa who was so looking forward to his grandson. All I could do was to say, I’m so sorry over and over again. All I could do was send you a text to tell you I love you, was thinking of you and how very sorry I was. I continued to check in periodically, via text because I couldn’t call, I didn’t know what to say. The two of you are so brave and I love that you are keeping Teddy’s memory alive and I get to know my great nephew. This is the first time I saw his sweet face in photos, such a beautiful boy. I love you both very much, and am in such awe of your strength and bravery. 😘😘😘

Tears. My husband died of cardiac arrest and there was no explanation. I have him with me sitting in the urn. It is okay to ask God why? I’m looking forward to learning the answers someday. Bless you and your sweet baby. Peace be with you.

Something absolutely no mom should have to experience. Saying hello and goodbye in the same breath. Thank you for sharing your sweet boy with the world. My daughters, Nori and Sylvie, were both born sleeping. I can only hope they are somewhere dancing with Teddy 👼🏻
