I want to send a very special birthday wish to little Colin Stuart. Colin is the son of our friends the Stuart family and he would have been one year old today. We know just how bittersweet today will be for the Stuart family and we hope that all of you will send a prayer there way. They have been very instrumental in helping us get through our grief and personally has helped me to understand grief from a males perspective. If it wasn't for Steven (Colin's daddy) I don't know where I would be. Thank you for all you have done Steven, you are a great friend! I hope and pray your day becomes what you hope for it to be. Know that we are here for you if you need anything.
So again, if you can please send a prayer or well wish to the Stuart family today and make sure to wish little Colin a very happy birthday. Happy birthday Colin! I know that you and my precious little Zayana Grace are the best of friends in Heaven!
From your friends on the west coast,
Ernesto, Christina, Zayana Grace, & DeJuan Gabriel Mendez

Dearest Munchers,
Today a year ago a miracle happened. Today a year ago after 9 days of wondering if you would live to see another day we were able to take you home. I remember it so clear. Today a year ago we had so much hope and joy. We just knew that you were going to beat all the odds. We knew what you were capable of. Today a year ago was the beginning of the best 4 months of my life. It was you, me, and your mommy together making the best of everything. I'm sorry that we were stressed and tired and didn't know exactly what to do. But as always you taught us what to do and we became true parents that night. That was the first time we were on our own with you. At time I wonder how we made it and then I think of how far you came in those 9 days. You taught us how. Thank you mija for all of your wonderful gifts. Thank you for being my daughter. I love you and miss you lots Zayana Grace! Happy New Year mija!
Always and Forever,
Your Loving Daddy

The New Year
Here we are into 2012 and it still does not feel different. I am hoping that 2012 will be a better year. I already know it is. Chris and I are having a quite night at home thinking about the last year and our future in the next. Its been a somber night, quite a bit of sadness, and a lot of soul searching. We miss our precious Zayana Grace and look forward to our son DeJuan Gabriel. Holding each other, crying, feeling on momma's belly feeling DJ move. It was a good New Years Eve.
We hope everyone is having a good New Years Eve. We are thinking of everyone tonight, especially the ones who have also lost thier little ones. We hope that your 2012 is a better year than 2011. We love you all.
Mommy and daddy miss you so much baby girl. We hope that you can help mommy, daddy, and lil brother DJ have a good 2012. We love you Munchers!
