Sad, Sad, Sad

Rapper and MTV star Xzibit just suffered a tragic loss, the death of his newborn son.

Xzibit posted the following on hisMySpace blog:

AS you all know, I shared with you the announcement of my newborn son Xavier Kingston Joiner on may 15th and also informed you that he was born prematurely. well this week was extremly difficult for him because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own. Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30am and I must tell you this, It is unatural for a parent to bury a child. I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when im having great times, life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids if you have them, protect them and show them you love them everyday you wake up and see them, dont take a second you get to hug them teach them and care for them for granted. You can have all the material wealth in the universe but it is NOTHING compared to having your family. I am thankful for all of my blessings and im not one to question God's perfect plan, so I leave you with great love and thanks for the love that was sent earlier on my pervious blog to my son. Of course I need to take some time and handle my loss, STAY FOCUSED PEOPLE. Its not promised to any of us.

R.I.P Xavier May 15th 2008- May 26th 2008

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Xzibit and his family.

    Re: I care – "God has a plan"–please don't EVER say that to someone who has suffered such a great loss. You might think it will help them to feel better, but it's a truly asinine thing to say.

  74. Missy says – reply to this


    74

    Re: Leroy – You know what? Even though you posted something so disgusting and despicable, I don't wish something like this on you and any woman who is unfortunate enough to be impregnated by you. My twins were born prematurely and one of them died. I am black. I am not a crackhead. There are countless reasons a child may be born prematurely. Thanks for ruining this comment thread, which shows so much support for Xzibit. You disgust me.

    How sad, I wish Xzibit well. Prematurity is such a difficult thing, my son was born 9 weeks early, and it was touch and go for quite a while, but I was blessed enough to have him pull through. I can only imagine what Xzibit is going through :(

  77. c says – reply to this


    77

    This is extremely sad! I was born only 3 pounds and had a lot of surgeries.. i made it out of no where, Im so lucky… this is just not right. I thought by now there was better technology out there to save babies who were born preemies… this just sucks.

    help support march of dimes- i guess that's all we can do and pray

    That's such a tragic loss, I always like Xzbit cause he is smart talented artist, I think his blog was very honest and really touching, even though he will never get over his loss at least he seems to be willing to find a happy place and go on with his life when he is ready. It's just so sad!

    my deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to xhibit and his fam. i cant imagine losing a child. i am 4.5 months pregnant now with my first child and i pray for God's protection for my child both inside my womb and and outside of the womb. i know that God dont give us more than we can bare. xhibit, you and your family please rely in your faith to get you thru this. He will guide your hearts and give you a better understanding as to what happened. everything happens for a reason.

    This is such sad news. I am a mother of a two year old with another girl on the way and it would devastate me if my child were to pass away too. It's nice know that people realize what really matters in life. And it seems that he does. Best of luck to you. Be strong and cherish the moments you were able to spend together. Celebrate his spirit.
