about

Inspired by Jayden Dachenhausen, this song was written for dancing on streets of gold.

lyrics

Glenn and Cindy of Fairfield County, CT, where shocked and excited that they were going to have a sibling for their daughter. They were even more delighted when they found out that they were going to have a boy. They would call him, Jayden, which means “Jehovah has heard.”

In early February 2009, at 34 weeks pregnant, Cindy realized that she had not felt Jayden move in a while. Her worst fears were confirmed when the doctor could not find a heartbeat.

Cindy wrote, “It was so difficult leaving the hospital empty-handed. All we had to show for nine months of pregnancy was a beautiful floral box which contained several mementos including Jayden's footprints, hand prints, and a lock of his hair. I felt so empty, so sad. A part of me had been ripped from me. I would never be whole again. Why did God allow this? The answer to that question, I may never know on this earth. But one thing I do know for sure, Jayden is in His presence and experiencing no pain, no sorrow, no disappointment, no fear. He is perfect. And I know that God will somehow take care of us until we can be made perfect in Heaven with him. We grieve, but not without hope. We know that we will someday be reunited with our son. What a glorious day that will be!”
