Sean, Your birthday has arrived again and I struggle with wondering
how we should celebrate . It is so easy for other mothers, they
rush off to buy balloons, birthday cakes and brightly wrapped presents.
I will bring flowers and spend some time, but there'll be no cake, or
presents, or blowing out candles and making a wish. It seems that so many
others have forgotten with time, but my heart still aches with the
emptiness you have left. On your birthday I will give your gift to
others. I will share your name, and your story, and through these gifts,
you will live on in the hearts of many.
Love Mommy, Daddy, and Brenden

As I look at the two children I have who came to me very healthy and happy, I often remember the three babies I have lost. It wears me down to think of all I lost in such a short time. It's been two years since my first two miscarriages and only five months since the last, I never found out until recently the sex of the babies. Since, then I have named all three. It has given me a great relief to have finally named my babies. They are thought about often.

If you were here........
Yesterday you turned two.
If you were here I would have dressed you in a pink dress with white lace and white anklet socks and pink paten leather shoes. I would have put pigtails in your hair with pink ribbon to hold them in place.
Instead you are still wearing my baptismal dress and bonnet that you were buried in.
If you were here we would have bought you a cake of your choice.
Instead I made an angel food cake for our little angel.
If you were here we would have had a barbecue outside and the whole family would have came over.
Instead we had a picnic at your grave, only the five of us there, no one else came, no one else called.
If you were here we would have sat you on the floor with presents surrounding you and you would have opened all the gifts that everyone brought.
Instead we brought you gifts that weren't wrapped because you are not here to open them.
If you were here you would have gave every last person a hug, kiss, and thank-you before they left.
Instead we gave you a hug, kiss, and thank-you before we left.
If you were here when it got late we would have picked you up and laid your motionless body to rest and would have looked forward to seeing you in the morning.
Instead we think of the day we laid your motionless body to rest knowing that we would never see you again.
Happy 2nd birthday Victoria Lynn

Dear Kimberly, When you were born you were pretended away by everyone
associated with your birth. They thought it best to pretend
you never happened. You happened! You shared nine months with me in the most intimate way. I longed to hold you but before I could,
you were wisked away. Even though my hair has turned gray and my steps falter, I will always be the young Mother yearning to hold you
in my arms. For now, I will just forever hold you in my heart...
until tomorrow...

Taylor, my shining star in the darkest of nights, my hope in the loneliest of times, my truest and purest love from now until forever.
My daughter, whom I choose to honor each day, and who honors me from her home.

Night hugged him to me.
Death embraced him with the dawn.
No celebration.

How does one measure
how long it has been?
By the number of sunsets
or by the tears
that have fallen?
The sweet solitude of slumber
gives way to morning-teared memories
of all that used to be
when I had you safe
inside of me.
Our time together is no more.
Only God knows why you went away.
Sometimes I forget
you're no longer here
as I lovingly whisper your name.
And then I remember...
and life is not the same.

Time passes,
Christmas Day 1989
but not the love I have for you,
nor the ache inside of me
because you are not.
You were with us
for as long as God allowed.
You were real.
You existed.
You counted.
You were with us
only a short time,
but it was time enough
to grow to love you,
for you to make
a difference in our lives.
You could not stay,
but thought of you
will forever remain,
as does the love this day,
tempered by the pain.

I saw God kissing you last night
(because I knew I couldn't).
I knew then you would be alright.
Still, my arms feel empty,
not having you to hold.
You were ours.
You were real,
just beginning to grow...
(and then you didn't).
Why did our "hello"
turn into "goodbye"?
In my mind
I still hold you inside.
Why did you have to leave?
I've tried to forget
(if only a little...)
but I haven't
and know I never will.
My tears remind me
you are no longer real.
Maybe someday
we can begin again
and I can kiss you goodnight
the way it should have been.
For now, help me to let you go
(for both of us...)
just until tomorrow.
I miss your almost being here.
You would have been
two years old this year.

We weep now
Raining tears of pain and grief
Not quite understanding why you were taken from us
However we'll always cherish the time we had with you,
although brief.
Just memories of your smooth face, so sweet
Button nose, and cute tiny hands and feet.
Plans we had will not unfold
No carriage rides through the melting snow
No visits to the Ross Park Zoo
or birthday parties with hats and balloons.
No happy times reading "Dr. Seuss"
or watching Daddy coach little league lacrosse.
Each time we gaze to the skies
the dancing stars and white fluffy clouds
will remind us of you.
Rest well, Ian, our little Angel.
Love,
Mommy & Daddy

A special note, for such a special person, my darling daughter Nora who I miscarried at 18 weeks. I will never be able to express how much I love you, and I only hope that time can help me get over your death. You were so perfect when you were born, fingernails, toe nails etc, if perhaps you weren't so perfect I could of understood why you died, but I will always hold you in my memorys for as long as I live. I visit your grave all the time, but leaving teddies and flowers will never replace the daughter I should have with me. With Love

Thank you for the gift you gave me, the eyes to see what miracles
your brothers and sister are.
For the reminder that we are spiritual beings having a human experience
not the other way around.
I pray that I will always keep the eternal perspective in mind and
be worthy to one day to see you with our eternal family.
I love you Nichole.

In loving memory of our son Jacob, who in his short life made my life a whole lot more enjoyable. I miss his smile and his cute laughter. My life won't be the same without him in it.
