My heart breaks  / Julie Sanders

Thank you for sharing your story of your sweet baby girl.  I lost my son we tried four years to conceive on 7-17-07.  My story was much like yours;  No movement, no heartbeat, bloodclot.  I was 27 weeks pregnant.  I have found it so difficult to move on and find peace.  I do not have much of a support system, so to see your website gave me for a moment the peace I had been trying to find for over a year. Thank you so much for sharing your story so other grieving parent's out there, like myself, know they're not alone. 

Julie S.

Sweet Angel  / Erin-Mae Howe

Hi,

What beautiful family pictures, a gorgeous boy you have and a sweet angel.

What a loveley idea, to let go of white balloons in the sky.  I hope you don't mind, but i too will do this for my son on every birthday.  How sweet, wished i could of done that on his memorial, but i wasnt thinking like i usually do. 

I feel your pain, as i lost my baby boy at 23 weeks- he was born sleeping.  He was born the 10th November 2006 just before abigail.

Take care

Erin

Thoughts are with you both  / Billie Wince (By- Passer )

I came across your site as I was going to my Grandson's www.caydenwince.memory-of.com  Always keep her close to your heart.  The heartache is so painful. What a beautiful site.  The loss of a child is so hard, but always remember that the next time you see her it will be forever.

 

Keep the Faith

These Shoes  / Mommy

I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.
I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some woman are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.

Someday / Mommy

Someday when I'm old
and someone asks if I'm looking forward to heaven
I'll say I'm eager to see my Jesus
but there's someone else I want to see too.
I'll say
it's been thirty or forty years since I've seen her
and the time we spent together was all too brief-
four hours or so,
that's all,
and she was so tiny and frail
I never had a chance to find out who she was
or what she was like-
what she could have done,
who she could have been,
but she was my child,
flesh of my flesh,
my own,
and I love her
with limitless love.
My other children grew up
and grew older with me
but this one-
the one I'm longing to see-
stayed the same through the years-
her face fixed in my memory
like a faded snapshot,
its corners worn
from too much handling.
Through the years,
the good and bad times,
I've dreamed of that distant reunion
and imagined the moment
I could look her in the eyes
and say,
Precious Abby,
your mommy has missed you
but we'll never be apart again. Close

MISSing Abby  / Meghan Barr (Friend of mom's from MISS )
Your little girl is absolutely beautiful, I so wish I could change things and bring her back to you (At least physically) in spirit she is with you always, in each breathe you take. I just wanted to let you know your daughter has touched the lives of our family and is playing in heaven with our little girl Adriana. We will keep your family and little Abby in our prayers always!

Abby / Mommy

I love you more than words can say.
My heart aches because you've gone away.

Heaven is where you are, I know. 
And when my life is through, I'll also go.

What a joyful time it will finally be.
When once again it's you and me!

I love you so much, Abby.
I miss you.

Love, 
Mommy Close

Remembering Our Sweet Abigail  / Nana &. Poppy Mattes (Grandparents)

We Remember Her

At the rising of the sun and at its going down, we remember her.

At the blowing of the wind and the snow of winter, we remember her.

At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember her.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember her.

At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of fall, we remember her.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember her.

As long as we live, she to will live; for she is a part of us, as we remember her.

And someday when we leave this earth, we will see her again.

Love, Nana & Poppy 8/29/07

Poem for Abby....  / Emilie Jarman (Angel Logan's Mommy )

Abby

Little bitty girl.
Perfect.
In Every.
Every Single Way.

Soft, itsy bitsy feet....
And dimples in her hands.
Right where they should be.

Kissing and kissing and kissing her.
Never enough.
Never, never enough.

The sweet curls.....
Framing her face....
Dark.
Silky.
Winsome....

Her innocence.
Pure, and unblemished

For her very first breath.....
Not of this world.

But in Gods hands Close

Song for Abby & Angel Baby Jesse ...  / Larry Herlinger (Friend of Family & Jesse's Daddy )

"Moments With You"
Written for Abby & Jesse
By Lawrence Herlinger II

There's sweetness in the air
And a glow on her face
O there's nothing
that could darken this day
Cause the positive test
Brought joy to her soul as she thought
about the baby
That she would soon hold
But as time moved on
The fears did surround
Something was wrong
No heartbeat could be found

And her world crashed down
and she fell apart
And I can hear these words bleeding
from her heart

Why were you put in my life
For these moments
to just slip away?
I'm torn and broken inside
So many moments
I just hide away

A pink room was waiting
For a miracle to see
Butterflies and birds, flowers and bees
Every kick she felt
From her little girl made her think
About the moment
She was waiting for
And she prayed to God
The nurse was wrong
But the doctor said I'm sorry
Your baby is gone

And her world crashed down
and she fell apart
And I can hear these words bleeding
from her heart

Why were you put in my life
For these moments
to just slip away?
I'm torn and broken inside
So many moments
I just hide away

And I don't understand as I'm
walking through this pain
Why you left this world before I
even saw your face
But I'll look forward
till the day when we meet
But for now...play at Jesus' feet

And I don't know
Why you were put in my life
For these moments
To just slip away
But I'll cherish these moments I had
Every heartbeat and kick, every day
And I don't know
Why you were put in my life
For these moments
to just slip away
But I'll cherish these moments I had
Every heartbeat
Every kick
Every day Close

Dear Abby  / Amy Maxwell (Mommy's sister )

Dear Abby,  I couldn't sleep tonight.  I've been feeling your mommy's pain.  I know you are with Jesus.  So, say a prayer for her tonight.  I know your prayers for your Mommy and Daddy are the best in the whole creation right now.  I know your prayers will work better than any other because you are so close to Jesus now...and Lord Jesus, let this message reach Abby.  Her mommy and daddy need you now.
I ask you Lord to give them the peace that passes understanding.  You are an awesome God.  Love, Aunt Amy

Remembering You On Mother's Day  / Mommy

No little hugs or kisses
to wake me up on this morn.
No special card or roses sent my way.
Bittersweet feelings, at least a thousand tears;
Quietly, I celebrated you this day.

I am not like the others,
Though I still wear the name.
I cannot hold you in my arms,
But I love you just the same.

I knelt beside your resting place,
Though I knew you were not there.
I prayed to God in Heaven:
A peace I found in knowing,
sweet child, you're in His care.

To see a mother with her baby-
How my heart breaks in two;
But never would I trade this pain
If it meant there had no been you.

At times I feel I cannot go on-
Living this life without you.
Yet hidden behind my deepest grief
There is joy unexpainably true.

For my daughter, you will always be a blessing from above.
Your brief existence has bestowed on me a name I cherish dear.
And although this day is not what I imagined it to be,
I will treasure it because of you- 
MY FIRST MOTHER'S DAY.
