This is for Chrissy.
I love and cherish you and our family so much.
We've experienced the highest highs and lowest lows together.
Watching you carry our children has been so moving and humbling.
I'm in awe of the strength you've shown through the most challenging moments.
What an awesome gift it is to be able to bring life into the world.
We've experienced the miracle, the power and joy of this gift, and now we've deeply felt its inherent fragility.
I wrote this song because I have faith that as long as we walk this earth, we will hold each other's hands through every tear, through every up and down, through every test.
We promised each other this on our wedding day seven years ago, and every challenge we've faced has made that promise more powerful, more resilient.
Our love will remain.
We will never break.
Thank you to everyone who has been sending us prayers and well wishes, flowers, cards, words of comfort and empathy.
We feel and appreciate your love and support more than you know.
More than anything, we've heard so many stories about how so many other families have experienced this pain, often suffering in silence.
It's a club no one wants to be a part of, but it's comforting to know we're not alone.
I'm sure Chrissy will have much more to say about this when she's ready.
But just know we're grateful and we're sending love to all of you and your families.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend lose their baby
The couple announced the death of their son, Jack, on their social media on October 1, after Teigen was admitted to the hospital after being on bed rest and bleeding for "a little less than a month."
"We are shocked and with the kind of deep pain that you only hear about, the kind of pain that we have never felt before," said the statement shared on their social networks.
"We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite the bags and bags of blood transfusions," the post read.
"It just wasn't enough."
The couple have been praised for being open about their grief and struggles in pregnancy.
They have two children, Luna and Miles, who were conceived through IVF.
They reported that Jack was conceived naturally, something Teigen said she didn't think was possible for her.
With the first two pregnancies, the statement said, the couple waited to name the baby until after birth, but this time they had already started calling "the little one in my tummy" Jack.
"He will always be Jack to us," the statement read.
"Jack worked very hard to be part of our little family, and he will be forever."
