You were so healthy and perfect through the whole nine months pregnancy.
But we lost you a few days before your due day, the day after mommy's
birthday with unknown reason. When I looked at your beautiful little
face, I wished I could blow the life into your little body, hold and
love you. In our hearts, you are our first and forever son.

Your life was very short, no more than 10 weeks, but I felt I had known you a lifetime. I can't seem to forget the words the nurse used to tell me I was carrying you, nor can I forget the days events when I lost you.
We were blessed...Someone smiled down on us and sent us an angel..but just as fast as plans were being made, you were gone. I still don't understand why. How could we be given a miracle after so many years and then have it taken away? How sur I felt you were safe, thinking I could shield you from any harm. How little I knew...forces more powerful than I had determined it was your time, how short it was. Sometimes I sit and daydream of what could have been..I looked so forward to seeing your father hold you for the first time, of watching you grow and giving you all the love you deserved--of being part of our life. As fast as these dreams were thought of, that's how fast you were gone. Everyone says "these things happen for a reason", but as hard as I search I can't seem to figure it out. Why were you sent for such a short time? Why must we experience this pain, this emptiness? Life is not fair, I wanted you so badly and it hurts so much to know that I can no longer have you. I know that my life will never be the same. There is a void now where there was once a miracle in the making. I try hard to face each new day thanking God for the blessings I do have, but it is not easy. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and will for the rest of my life. If there is any good in what has occurred,
who is smiling down on us with lots of love in his/her eyes -
a star that shines brightly in the heavens above and
I hope you know how much we miss you and love you.....and always will...

we miss you so much
to hear you cry
to feel your touch
for this we would give
a thousand tomorrows
to ease the pain
to erase the sorrow
But we know you are here
existing above
and we'll never forget
our baby we love.

To my gorgeous baby boy. I was bursting with joy at the moment of your birth. Robust, gorgeous eyes, soft, sweet cheeks. Only for that to be taken away within days. To use someone else's words, "your body was just too perfect to house an imperfect heart." You have given me a tremendous gift, the fact that I will never fear death. For when my time comes it is then that I will see you again, hold you in my arms, smell you, kiss every inch of you. I will be content to live out my life on Earth but when God comes to call me I will hold out my arms and run to you.

You will be in my heart forever.
Skies always blue,
Flower-stewn pathways
All our lives through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.
But God hath promised
Strenghth for the day,
Rest for the labor
Light for the way.
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love...

Oh sweet Angel of mine, your mommy loves you so much. Even though everyone has seem to forgotten, you always know that mommy never will. There is not a day that passes that mommy doesn't think of you. Oh how I wish that I could have held you just once. I wish I knew if you were a boy or a girl. I have fallen in love with you in that short 4 to 6 weeks I carried you. I miss the way if felt to have a belly that had a little bump, that bump was you my dear sweet Angel. I miss all the talks me and daddy had about you, and things we were going to do for you and with you. Oh baby of mine how I wish had just one minute to hold you, to see what you looked like, to see your tiny fingers and tiny toes and tiny button nose. I wish I could have kissed you and told you that I love you. Sweet baby Angel never ever forget mommy loves you. Your mommy and daddy's first baby and always will be no matter what.

The frilly outfits have finally been packed away.
I can't bear to look at them another day.
Please know that you are in my heart
and that it still hurts so much that we had to part.
Daddy and I did what we thought was best
but that doesn't make it hurt any less.
Although we all know that life goes on
I still can't believe that you're gone.
We miss you!

Today should be your first birthday,
but instead of celebrating your life,
we can only dream of what could have been.
We miss you daily...hourly....every second of every day!
If only we could hold you and make everything all right.

This is for my son who I lost 5 years ago August 13th,1993 on A Friday night. There's not a day that goes by, that I don't think of you. You were only 18 years old that God took you from me. You were so young and I didn't even get to say good-buy to you. So many unanswered questions left in my mind. That I will never know the answer to. The first year was the most miserable for your sister and I. She lost her only brother. She loved you also. We both still are weeping for you. We miss you so much. You are not alone anymore. Your Grandmother is in a row ahead of you, where you lay at pease. Join your hands and walk to the clouds and be at pease. We love you and miss you both.

Then, after all the test and temperatures
At last you began your life
At first it was not easy but as time went on things got better
For those nine months we were all together things seemed clear
But nature that grand cheat took you away
Now our hearts are broke, our soles empty
With the help of family and friends we will get by
And some day we know you will return to us
We love you and miss you!!

Oh how I wish that I could turn back time. To still have you inside of my tummy..safe and warm. I still remember the day that you were born it seems like yesterday but it's been 2 years. Daddy and I are so grateful that we were able to hold you and tell you how much we loved you before we had to tell you goodbye. We wanted you so badly...your brother Justin was so excited about you. To this day I don't understand why you were taken away from us but at least I take comfort in knowing that you are in heaven and that someday our family will be complete again.
In loving memory of Baby Angel.....

Six little feet
Live in my heart
I never got to meet.
My arms ache to hold you.
My ears strain to hear your cries.
My hands long to touch your tiny feet.
My eyes sting from the tears I cry.
My mind lingers over precious memories of you.
My heart is filled with love for you.
My mouth needs to say your names.

"Hang in there, Little Life," I said, as I patted my tummy the day after you were conceived. I knew, in that way that only mommies know, that you were with me. Unscheduled, unexpected...but as your daddy says, "we take 'em when we can get 'em." "I love you, Little Life," we said when I finally shared the news, only after the doctor confirmed that you were there. He was so excited, talking about a bigger house and a bigger car for our three boys - for three beds and three carseats! YIKES! "Take care of this Little Life," I prayed to God when we knew you were not going to live. My bitter tears ran down my cheeks and onto my belly, baptizing you in the purest waters of love. "Watch over us, Little Life," I ask you every day. Keep us safe from harm and be by our sides. How odd for you to be guarding the little boys who were supposed to take care of you, their baby brother. "Hang in there, Little Life." Be patient with your Mommy who is grieving you when so many others want me to move on. In the hustle and bustle of tending to your brothers, I sometimes wipe the tears away as I wipe their sweet hands. I am not wiping away the memory or the love...just taking care of them as I would have cared for you, as you are caring for them now. Come to me in those rare quiet moments and know that I will always love you and remember you.

O Mary, I look at your life with Jesus with love and reverence...
At the Annunciation, when you answered "Yes"...
At the Nativity, when you nourished Him at your breast...
I love to meditate upon all that you must have taught Him...
At the Wedding Feast at Cana, you called Him forth to His first miracle...
and into His Ministry...
How was I to know when I asked you to unite my heart with yours...
that you would show me the sword that pierced your Immaculate Heart
as they Crucified your Son, and placed Him in your arms...
You would ask me to place mine there too?

Words cannot describe how much I will forever cherish the six days that were spent with you. I cherish in my heart the times you looked at us with those beautiful brown eyes, I will always yearn to cradle you in my arms, I will never forget the incredible pain of seeing Daddy hold you as you took your last breath, I knew then that you had become our little angel, To experience the joy of bringing you into our world, That pain will always remain unbearable,
Who Will Always Live In Our Hearts...
There is not one moment with you that I will ever forget.
You were such a fighter, Having to go through so much at such a tender age.
And for that, How proud I will always be.
and the times you would gently sqeeze my fingers,
and the countless hours just spent stroking your delicate, soft skin.
like I did for the first and last times.
To feel you next to me, to hold you so close for eight hours.
Nor will I forget holding you for so long after you passed on to a world
where I know you will be held for eternity.
And though some people can only dream of angels,
We were holding one in our arms.
and then so suddenly having our dream shattered
is a pain that no human being should have to endure.
But I would relive that joy, and that sorrow, a 1000 times over,
For yet another moment with you.
for our lives will never be the same without you.
Until we may meet again,
may the lord hold you so safe and so loved in his arms

You are loved so deeply son. Even though you are not here on Earth with us your dad and I still love you so much. You came into this world just as quickly as you went. You are up above watching over us every day. Mommy can't wait for the day that we will become a family and we can hold you in our arms forever. We miss you so much but this was God's will and it is some thing we can't change. We will always cherish you in our hearts, you will always be our first son and we will always love you for that. When your soul was swept away into heaven it made daddy and I a lot closer than we ever were. We will never forget you Isaiah, when we pray or look into the sky you are there listening and looking back. We love you son!

My first.......so many years have gone by and I have never forgotten, ever. But as I was just a young girl, my family never allowed you to ever be discussed. Years have gone by - you have a brother who is nearly 12, and another brother that died only at 7 weeks. I am glad to have a place where you can be remembered.

As I made plans to hold you and rock you;
You were tiny and helpless as you lay in my womb,
But something happened and soon you were gone;
My young heart was broken, my tears fell like rain,
I'd never known such heartache and pain.
I wonder who you look like, me or your dad?
Do you have my smile and his eyes?
Would you have been big and tall or tiny and small?
We had dreams for you that reached to the skies.
It was long, long ago and I still miss you so,
Thanks to Jesus, I'll see you in heaven.
But I'll hold you in heaven someday,
When my trails on earth pass away;
The angels have rocked you, the Father watches over you,
And I kow you're waiting for me;
I never could hold you or tell you "Goodbye,"
But I'll hold you in heaven someday."
Mommy and daddy miss you. We'll see you soon.

I want you to know that even know you were only with us for 9 weeks we still love and miss you. We don't know if you were a boy or girl but we would be happy just to have you. Your daddy and I were so excited when we heard that you were in my tummy. It is really hard for me to understand why you had to leave, but I know you are safe with God and your other brother or sister. Here is something daddy wrote for you: You touched our lives for only a short time. We will never know how you will have turned out, but you are still special to us. You will never know the love we have for you. It is not fair because we will never get to experience playing in the park with you, or watching you play baseball, or watching you in your dance recitals. We know you are in good hands with our family and God in heaven. One day we will be together again in the arms of God. Until then always know that we will always love you and miss you Baby Price. Watch over me and your mommy and please help mommy understand why you cannot be with us. You will always be in our hearts.

Today as I remember...
our son plays until night,
to watch him,
is such a beautiful sight.
Yet there is silence,
an emptiness,
for two little babies,
who we can't touch or hold.
Two little babies,
their triplet can't yet know.
Joy and Sorrow
Miracles and Pain
These bittersweet feelings,
still remain.
