I am 21 years old and I just lost my Baby. I was only 5 weeks but I was so attched to it. Your poems about Jessica made me cry. I think in a way it has helped me face my pain. There is no greater pain then that is felt by a mother when she looses a ch ld. I hope and pray to God that this pain in my heart will one day ease. I am praying for you and your family. From one mommy to another.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm a counsler and I am dealing with a familh that is very close to me, their one year old daughter is on life support and they will let her go this evening. She has a brother that is 2.5 and wants his sister home. I'm not sure what to tell the family how to get through this situation. I have never had to do this before. This is also very hard for me. Do you have any suggestions? Thank You and God Bless you all.

What a wonderful testimony.....I am touched and very comforted by the fact that even tho we haven't met, we are kindred spirits. My youngest daughter also was born in '94 and she lost her best friend/oldest sister who was like a mom to her (12-19-98). Y u are right. I haven't found anything easy about losing a child except to make sure those around us can see the love of Christ in our lives as well as make her life count....Thank you for your page.....would love to know where to start to do something in memory of our Mandy.

I am a nurse by trade and work at a local hospital in Norristown Pa. Last year I was present in the ER for 3 infant deaths in a 3 month period of time. I cried terribly over these senseless deaths. They all looked so innocent, so sweet and I just didn't understand why God would allow this to happen. One little girl was left in a 3rd floor apartment with no ventilation and overheated causing her death. They weren't sure if it was from brain death or lack of Oxygen. There wasn't even a parent present in the ER when the doctor's pronounced her dead. The second one was due to SIDS (one of 2 twins) and happened right after a bath (when the apnea monitor was off) in the presence of both parents. The third was a premature infant whose parents were teens & on drugs. During my struggle with these deaths, I started reading and studying Scripture to see what God was doing. One of my favorite Scripture verses is thisPsalms 139: 15-16 My frame was not hidden from youwhen I was made in that secret place. When I was woven toether in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.All the days ordained for me were written in your bookbefore one fo them came to be. Melissa, when I read the last sentence, I came to believe that God already knows how many days each of us will have on this earth. Heaven is the real goal, and to go home to be with the Lord is the best gift we can receive. But of course, as humans, that scares us and causes us pain because of our fears & loss. I don't want to minimize any of the anger or pain you are feeling. You will always be Jessica's mom, and that will never be taken from you. You had her as a gift for a short time, and she has left you with memories that you will never forget. I want to tell you that Jessica is in the arms of our dear Lord right now. She has reached the place of everlasting joy in the constant presence of God. Here on earth we only get to see God through His works and our hopes & faith carry us. Jessica does not have to deal with the tragedies & pain of this world any longer. I began to see that those little babies in the ER on those nights, had been given the gift of heaven with the Lord, they had reached their goal, before they ever knew what this life was all about. It was only those left behind that were in pain. Basically what I am trying to say is that I believe God is still in control, even when it seems as though terrible things are happening. I believe that He takes his children home at a time when it fits into His plan. It is often earlier than we would have liked. But He is God, He knows best, and His ways are not ourways. I would recommend reading the book entitled "When God Doesn't Make Sense" by James Dobson if you haven't already. I really needed to work through the reasons God allows bad stuff. If He's so powerful, why didn't he fix this. Why didn't He stop something from happening.You had mentioned that this situation has brought you closer to God. That will always be part of God's ways, to draw us closer. I am so glad He is drawing you closer. I would love to talk to you more. But I don't want to intrude. I thank you for sharing a bit of your life and your precious daughter with me. I will never forget you & her. Just as I will never forget those little ones in the ER on those nights. In Christ's Love,Terri

Caitlyn had this book which is one of her favorite and I have been searching all over the house the last few weeks so I can send it to you. After finally finding it under her boxspring I asked her why it was hidden. She told me she was saving it for 'Li Jessica to give it to her the next time she sees her." Caitlyn overheard me telling someone about the book and how I wanted to mail to you. JESSICA & THE SLEEPY FLOWERS: Winter had been very long and very cold. One morning Angel Jessica lay in her bed, and felt the warm sun shining on her face. "It must be spring!" she said. "The plants & birds will be so pleased to feel the sun at last," she said, & got out of her warm & cozy bed. She looked down to where the sun was shining thru the clouds onto the ground. "Oh no!" she suddenly cried. "I must do something!" Jessica flew down to Earth to find that all the plants & birds were still fast asleep. "I must wake them," she sa d. "It's springtime!" Jessica then went from plant to plant, gently waking them up. She used her special angel magic to tell them that it was springtime. "You canwake up now." And the flowers felt the sun's warmth & opened their petals. Then Jessica told he trees & the birds to wake up. "It will soon be summertime, wake up!" All the other little angels were very happy that Jessica had woken up the birds and flowers in time for spring. She even had her own tree with a little bird which sang to her each mo ning. Jessica had the PRETTIEST CLOUD IN HEAVEN! I love and miss you! Dana

My sister Heather is having a baby this month and I hope she doesn't have to go through something to that extent. She is due April 24th, so within' the next week I should have a neice or nephew! ! ! ! I also wan ed to tell you, that you had a very cute daughter! ! ! ! E-Mail me please! ! ! !

Really Missing you at Valetine's Day... I Miss You ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I run to tell you some news. Read you a poem. Or sing a song. But you’re not here. I forget sometimes that you’re gone. I miss you, you know. I close my eyes at night, And see your face. I feel my arms encircle your precious body As the memory of the scent of your skin awakens my senses. I turn. But you’re not here. I rise and look for you. Reaching out, grasping at air. I cannot find you. So I leave, Taking thoughts of you with me. Always. I miss you, you know.

We love and miss you so much, my little sweety pie. Ill never forget the day you came hopping into my life with your your toddler sized pampers hanging down to your knees and the way you would come running into my bedroom , climb up the end of the bottom of the bed, and from the foot of the bed dive up into the air, flying at least 5 or 6 ft. You were such a brave and daring acrobat---50 to 100 of these dives with me catching you is such a wonderful memory to me --- After I cought you, You would say "oh Grandpa I love you" and give me a big kiss. Over and over again until in my thick head I realized thatyou not only loved me but you needed me. I doing so you tought me what unconditional love is and how important it is in nurturing a young child. I also remember playing "gity-up up and gitty-up down grandma and I loved to play these games just to here you giggle.I also remember playing Knock knock jokes until the sun was almost ready to rise{it was'nt the jokes so much as much as your pronunci tion of the "Woses are wed, viowets are bwu--we all-laughed like we were kids ourselves] We know that you are in heaven and the world is not as beautiful without you here. Ilove you and promise you I will do everything I can to make up for a world that was as close to heaven on earth the short time you were here Ralfe
