I'll never forget the day he came home, which there is a pic here of me and him on the floor. He was so little and happy from day one. As he grew, his smile just became the most beautiful smile I've ever seen in a baby. He was an angel from day one. I really miss baby Zach and can't wait to hold him again one day. I'll never forget you baby boy. Love Cousin Courtney
TEARS FOR MY ANGEL
My heart will always be empty except for the memories of you. I only cry tears when I remember the family I lost. My heart falls apart for all those whom I have wronged. One day we will be together in the one and only true home. Even though I cry, know this my son, Daddy will always love you, no matter how long you were alone.
I Love You Zackery
Love Daddy
I was with Zackery from the day he was conceived. Debra and I made trips weekly to Little Rock to a special doctor because of her special problems. I made 2 trips to LR when she went into labor, one to carry Chris on up and one to come back and get David. After 3 days of labor (and all of us being up the whole time - except Debra - they finally did a c-section and he was born - all 4 lbs. 10 oz. of him. I had just drifted off to sleep after 3 days and they tapped on the door and asked if we would like to see our grandson. Up I flew and out the door of the waiting room and there he was, my beautiful little angel. We were the only ones that got to see him at that time - since he was so small they had to get him to NICU. Was several hours before Chris got to see him (that was kiling him). But he was asleep in a different room when we got to see him and we were closer to NICU.
They spent most of the next year living at our house, nana and poppa's. I have a lot of good memories of his first year and I loved every minute of it. So much love and laughter and joy! I loved to hear him laugh, he did it so whole-heartedly (But then I would feel guilty because every time he laughed hard he got the hiccups).
My most fond memory is of him crawling around behind me saying "na, na, na, na, na, na, na (he couldn't say nana so he called me na) and also him crawling around behind Becca saying "ecca, ecca, ecca, ecca, ecca (because he couldn't say Becca).
My next fondest memory is me holding him and playing catch with Sandy (our dog) Zackery would just laugh when I would throw the ball and Sandy would go get it and bring it back. Then when Zackery learned to sit and crawl he would get the ball and "try" to throw it to Sandy. She would go pick it up and bring it back to him.
He also loved to "Ride a little horsey go to town, ride a little horsey don't fall down!"
Those are my some of my most precious memories. I will hold them in my heart forever.
