Once upon a time, in a quiet corner of our hearts, there existed a love so profound that it defied the boundaries of time and space. It was the love shared by our dear friends, Kelly and Raye, as they awaited the arrival of their child.
Kelly’s belly swelled with promise, and every flutter, every kick, was a whispered secret between mother and baby. They dreamed of sleepless nights filled with lullabies and baby giggles.
But life has a way of weaving both joy and sorrow into the same tapestry. On a Sunday evening, when the moon hung low and the stars blinked in sympathy, Kelly felt a stillness within her. The world held its breath as she rushed to the hospital, Raye clutching her hand, their hearts entwined.
At just 24 weeks, their little star, Kallen Gordon Butcher, made his entrance into the world. He was fragile, delicate—a whisper of existence and his eyes, though closed, seemed to hold the wisdom of ages. They bathed him in love, sang soft lullabies, and prayeds.
But sometimes, the universe has other plans. Kallen’s heartbeat danced to a melody only angels could hear. Kelly and Raye held him, their tears mingling with stardust, as they whispered their goodbyes.
In the quiet of that hospital room, they made a promise—to honour Kallen’s brief life, to celebrate the love he brought, and to ensure that his memory would shine forever. And so, I decided to create a fundraiser—a constellation of kindness—to help cover the costs of Kallen’s farewell.
Friends and family have rallied around them, sharing their grief and their love.
And as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden glow on Kallen’s tiny face, they sing:
"Hush now, little star, rest your weary soul,
You’ve touched our lives, left footprints on our hearts.
Though your time was brief, your light will forever glow,
Guiding us through darkness, reminding us of love."
And so, Kallen Gordon Butcher became more than a name—he became a constellation, a beacon of hope. His legacy will forever live on.
May this help convey the depth of your friends’ love and loss, and may the fundraiser bring comfort during this difficult time. 🌟❤️
