Elijah was between 5 and 7 days old, living in the NICU, and about to meet his sister:
Supergirl was only twenty months old at that time. Closer to one and a half, than to two. She had already endured a six week separation from her attachment parenting, hospital bound mother, so he was like the frosting - when he was born, maybe Mama could come home too!! She adored him from the beginning, and was gentle, gentle, very gentle with him:
These were precious days in the way that diamonds are precious - beautiful, but someone always dies for it.
Funny thing is, I've always loathed diamonds, while I've always loved babies.

Elijah was so beautiful. His eyes speak volumes.
I may have said this before, but I understand why you said that Yirmi reminded you of Elijah...
You have happy memories of him. That means a lot.
He is such a gorgeous baby, such bright and shining eyes. I can see why he stole your heart.
Both of those babies are beyond gorgeous. I am sure that boy stole many a heart!
I actually love diamonds, but I love babies more. And yours was a big big love.
So cute!
Thinking of you, R, B and E...
Love,
Geener

Reading about your situation, and your loss, is really making me put my pain and problems in perspective. I can't imagine the pain you carry with you in your heart every day.
