Killian Isaac
July 11, 2010 - August 11, 2011

Killian was born on July 11, 2010. His name means "small and fierce, or war-like" and he
proved it everyday of his short 13 months. He was the strongest little boy I have ever known.

In his 13 months he did more and touched more people than I will ever be able to do. He was
the sun in the day and the stars at night. We knew from the time he was born that Killian
would not have a lot of time on earth and so everyday,
every second, every breath we cherished.

Killian loved to cuddle. It was his favorite activity. I was more than blessed to have been
chosen to be his mother. He is and always will be his fathers pride and joy. Killian was loved by
so many, he brought joy and laughter into so many peoples lives. He had the most beautiful
big blue eyes that I have ever set sight on. He may be gone, but I hold him close always.
