Lovingly made ~ April through June 1998
BY ALLISON STINSON
Daddy I'm watching down on you
And I just heard you say
That you and mommy lost a baby
How sad you were that day
I want you to know I love you
And I appreciate the thought
But if you could see me now so happy
And I'm so much better off
I know you and mommy would care for me
And I'd be surrounded by love
But just remember I'm watching you
And I'm waiting for you above
I know you and mommy wanted me
And so did my family
But Jesus had a pair of baby wings
And he needed me worse you see
For if I'd come to the world
And taken your name
I might have been a failure
And brought you only shame
But don't worry about me now
I'm safe and secure in his care
And just in case mommy worries
Tell her Jesus has a rocking chair
So keep singing and preaching for Jesus
Soon you'll come to see me
The first thing I want you to do
Is sing a song for me
Tell mommy I love her too
And can't wait for her to hold me
I'll be standing by the river
There's no way she can miss me
Tell my big sissy
That I can't wait for her to play with me
And until we meet up here
Give her the love you have for me
"To my Angel Baby Brandon...
you will be in our hearts forever!
We love and miss you deeply!!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, and big sister Summer"

We lost Samual and Isac due to premature labor during my 23rd week of pregnancy. I'll never understand why my love wasn't enough to save them. - Such perfect little babies. You fought so hard to live. I wanted so badly to breathe for you, to make it better like Mommies do. I'm so sorry that my body failed you. I only hope that you heard me say that I loved you as you both slipped away. Grandpa met you at the gate I'm sure, as he died only the day before you both. I will be along soon enough. Till then, just know that my heart is broken, but I must go on in this life although it isn't so easy. I'll never forget you or your sweet little faces.

We can't believe it happened,
Our precious baby to be.
Through all our strife and struggles,
Thank God this must be real.
We saw this new creation,
As a blessing from above.
The miracle of a baby,
From our father full of love.
We saw the baby once or twice,
On the ultrasound machine.
And I felt my heart pounding,
As we jumped for joy with glee.
Then the devasting news came,
And you were no longer in view.
And we thought Oh God...
What did we do.
We had to make a choice,
After hearing you were gone.
The baby you wanted so much,
Will not be in our arms.
We would love to have you here,
To see you run and play.
A thought we can only dream of,
For in heaven you must stay.
We would love to have you with us,
To see you grow and run and play.
A thought we can no longer dream of,
For with Jesus you must stay.

sight is removed
and panic as grief
takes hold

She leaps and dives
and waves and winks
and smiles
the unconditional
always present smile
of deep and trusting love
and I follow
in my dreams
comforted content happy

Mommy's Wish For Hunter
Please, Dear Lord, grant me this one special wish.
I wish that my precious son and I were still one,
My aching heart is so heavy and living life is no longer fun.
How on earth can I happily live?
How much more can I possibly give?
I need my blessed son to be alive once more,
I need to know that my lonely heart will no longer be painfully sore.
Please, Dear Lord, lift me upon gracious angel wings,
I need to hear the majestic words that the peaceful Heavens sing.
I need to be strong, I need to feel joyous love,
I need that valued love to be sent from the Heavens above.
If I had one wish, I'd wish for you,
Then I wouldn't be so dreadfully sad and blue.
If I could hold you for one more precious time,
I would cherish all of the wonderful memories that would soon be mine.
Please, Dear Lord, be very giving and kind,
I have barren thoughts and sadness on my mind.
My arms are empty, my pain is great.
The absence of my darling son...How could I ever contemplate?
Lord, lift out your loving heart, if you hear me crying tonight.
Lead me to know that everything will be alright.
If you hear this one special wish that I'm wishing now,
Please, Dear Lord, grant it for me.
It's not luxurious, materialistic, or great,
Can you give me the patience to wait?
I need to wait to nurture and hold my beloved son in Heaven.
He deserves to receive a patient and loving mother,
For I may decide to have more children, but like Hunter...There is no other.
He is unique, sweet, and brave,
He taught me how to love and which burning tears to save.
Lord, if you hear my amazing wish tonight,
Don't tell me, Please tell Hunter...That his mommy is going to be alright.
Mommy and Daddy Love You Precious Angel!

You are our first baby. You will always be our first baby. You were conceived after almost a year of trying, and many months of hoping and praying. Although you were ours for only a few weeks, we will never forget you. When your daddy and I found out about you, we talked about who you would look like. We decided you had your mommy's hair and smile, and your daddy's eyes. We knew you'd be smart and kind, and most of all, very, very loved. We will always have the memories of finding out about you, dreaming about you, and loving you. I know that you are in a safe and caring place, and you are looking down, watching over your daddy and me.

You will always be to me
So perfect, pure, and innocent
Just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you and
of your life
And all that it would be.
We waited and longed
for you to come
And join our family.
We never had the chance to play
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle.
We long to hold you,
touch you now
And listen to you giggle.
I’ll always be your father,
She’ll always be your mom.
You will always be our child
The child we had.
But now you’re gone...
but yet you’re here.
We’ll sense you everywhere.
You are our sorrow and our joy.
There’s love in every tear.
Just know our love goes
deep and strong.
We’ll forget you never--
The child we had,
And will have forever
We love and miss you Isabella,
Sweet dreams my love.
Love Mommy and Daddy

Matthew we love you so much. I wish you were here in my arms. So many dreams we had for you. Michael misses you too. On Easter we took an Easter basket to the cemetary for you. When we were leaving Michael said, "No, we have to wait until Matthew comes and gets his basket." Tell Jesus, "hi" for us, and be good for the angels who are taking care of you until we get to heaven and take care of you ourselves.

for I'm much too small to see
all the wisdom and the wonder
of this world you made for me.
I've only fleeting glimpses
and I want to see it all,
bend down a little closer lord
so that I can grab ahold.
Lift me a little higher lord
so that I can appreciate
the blessings you have bestowed
on me.
For though I stand on my tiptoes
I can barely see.
I want to touch a star or two.
Lift me just a little higher lord
I do not weigh too much you see
if you put me on your shoulders lord
for then I can see it all !!!!!

From the moment I learned I was pregnant my baby was my life. When I was 5 months pregnant, I found out that I was having a girl. I named her Haley after one of my favorite authors(Alex Haley); Serena because it means princess. My family was so excited because she was the first granchild and neice. I was due 1/28. Haley was born 1/20. I was so excited when I went into labor. The pain was overwhelming, but I didn't care because I knew I would finally be able to meet my daughter. My pregnancy and labor were both normal so I wasn't prepared for what happened next. After I gave birth, I looked down in exhaustion and excitment and saw my beautiful baby girl. I was so happy. Then my joy turned to unbelievable pain. Instead of the doctors giving me my baby, they worked on her and moved me to another room. Later my doctor came and told me that Haley's heart failed, and she was was gone. At that moment a part of me died with my baby.

I just delivered a stillborn infant in January of 1998. When I heard
that there was no heartbeat, it broke my heart. We had a funeral for
her and got a headstone for her grave. I miss her very much and wish
that she was here. I know that she is in heaven with Jesus and that
she is looking down on me and her daddy. I also know that we will be
together one day as a family again. I just want all you mothers and
fathers out there who suffered a loss from misscarriage or stillborn,
have faith and go visit them at the cemetery. It will make you very
to know that they are safe in the arms of Jesus and it may have been
for the better. Good Luck!

You kept me safe for nine whole months
You did a very good job
But now it's time for me to go
I know you feel that you've been robbed
You may not understand this
But I felt your tender touch
And even though I could not respond
It meant so very much
You did your best to comfort me
To make me feel safe inside
But now it's time to say good-bye
And let god be my guide.
I'll always love you Mommy
And I'll love my Daddy too
But now instead of you watching over me,
I'll be watching over you.

Courtney, our firstborn, died from severe metabolic acidosis 20 hours
after birth. Naomi, the aunt after whom Courtney was named, wrote this
poem in her memory.
Goodbye our little Courtney,
Though we'll never know your smile
God did let us see and hold you
For just a little while
You were perfect from the outset,
Set to walk untrodden sands
A world of wonder to explore,
But God had other plans
Though we'll never know your laughter,
Though we'll never dry your tears
You'll be in our hearts as comfort,
Through our continued years
Your tiny fingers wound their way
Around your family's hearts
Your fragile face besotted those
Who held you in their arms
From your perfect face and features
To your delicate hands and toes
Its really hard to fathom why
You're the one that Heaven chose
And we all gain little comfort
From God's choice to take you, Dear,
That choice has shattered everyone
As we'd rather you were here
In fondness shall we hold you,
In sadness we will pray
That God had special reasons
For taking you away
A sadness has enveloped all,
And tears will flow forever
But Courtney we all love you so
We will not forget you, ever.

Please look down over

The Lord works in
Mysterious ways
And always shows
How to love and obey
I believe you came down
From heaven above
So he could show us
How much he loves.
So rest my dear
And soon it shall be,
You,your Daddy and I
That you will see.
We Love You,

I kept staring at your little knee
Because I was afraid
If I looked at your face,
It would hurt too much.
I looked at your tiny fingers- so, so tiny.
I looked at your knee again.
It was safe.
I stole a glance at your forehead.
I think I saw your chin.
Your little bent knee was poking out of the blanket.
I never did see your face clearly that day,
But, oh! What a beautiful knee...

I saw you for the third time today
I went to see my baby play
but as they searched for your heart
I layed there praying it would start
No wiggle did you try to make
No beating did my eyes partake
My sweet baby died before
I was able to endure
the tiny fingers the little toes
the breaths and cries a Mommy knows
I cried and cried in disbelief
My heart shattered as I grieved
I chose to carry you absent of life
in hopes the doctor's were not right
Though deep down in my heart I know
I saw myself what the sonogram showed
I cannot let go nor can I see
with you still resting inside of me
but still I keep you safe and warm
knowing you will never be born
No I will never forget the day
I went to see my baby play.

WHEN GOD CALLS LITTLE CHILDREN TO DWELL WITH HIM ABOVE. WE MORTALS
SOMETIMES QUESTION THE WISDOM OF HIS LOVE. FOR NO HEARTACHE
COMPARES WITH THE DEATH OF ONE SMALL CHILD WHO DOES SO MUCH TO MAKE
OUR WORLD SEEM WONDERFUL AND MILD. PERHAPS GOD TIRES OF CALLING THE
AGED TO HIS FOLD, SO HE PICKS A ROSEBUD BEFORE IT CAN GROW OLD.
GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH WE NEED THEM, AND SO HE TAKES BUT A FEW TO MAKE
THE LAND OF HEAVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL TO VIEW. BELIEVING THIS IS
DIFFICULT STILL SOMEHOW WE MUST TRY, THE SADDEST WORD OF MANKIND
KNOWS WILL ALWAYS BE "GOODBYE". SO WHEN A LITTLE CHILD DEPARTS, WE

Your time with us was so short. But oh, how I loved you from the very first moment that I saw you on the ultrasound. I should be getting ready to cry as I send you off to school for the first time this fall. Instead I cry because I can't. The pregnancy was troubled and you didn't get a fair shake. You were forced out before your time. So many times I wish I could go back to that day, just to hold you again. To see your tiny nose and your cute little lips. To wrap your long fingers around mine. To kiss your sweet forehead one more time. But, I know that you are in God's hands and he is keeping you safe and happy. I can't wait until we meet again. Until then, my sweet angel, I know that you are watching over your daddy and me. I Love You! Mommy

It has been 3 1/2 weeks since your heartbeat was silent. It actually was the most peaceful time of my life. I knew in my heart without actually being told that your struggle was over, and you left with no pain. You were with us for 24 weeks, and from the moment that we found out that you were growing inside of me, we loved you. I cherish every memory that I have of you moving and kicking. I wish that you could have joined our family here on earth now, instead of watching and waiting for us in heaven. I know that you are happy with Jesus, and I feel you with me every day. It is your spirit that has helped me to heal. Please guard your big brother Jacob every moment of his life; I know that you will shield him from any danger. I wish I could hold you and tuck you into bed at night.

I heard a windchime yesterday and stopped to wipe a tear away,
I was reminded of the afternoon my daughter Grace arrived too soon.
I held her, rocked her, and I cried, for the chimes announced that she had died.
I hope someday I'll hear a chime and it will make me smile.
For it will bring my baby back across the years and miles.
And rather than mourn what should have been I'll hear her laughter on the wind.
Child of Mine
Child of mine, lost in time.
You were the Thursdays child of a Thursdays child.
Your life was double the woe, your loss was harder to bear.
Your memory remains amid tears and bitterness.
Your legacy the unfulfilled dreams in a mother's heart.
