Lovingly made ~ April and May 1999
We were looking forward so much to having a child. It was so wonderful to feel you grow. We were so scared to notice that you did not move anymore and as you were born at 29 weeks we were so happy to see you alive. The 4 months we had with you were so wonderful. I wish, we could have more. You fought a long and hard battle. I wish I knew, that you now have no pain anymore. I wish I knew, that you are in better hands then mine! I believe, that you will watch over your mommy & daddy and over your Sibra (Sister/brother) that is to come someday. We miss you sooo very much and wish, time could have stopped when you were doing so well. You will be always remembered in our hearts and a lot of the nurses and doctors, that were looking after you. You were so little and able to win peoples hearts, you did change people. We learned a lot from you, little man! The day will come, where we will meet again. I can't wait! I hope you will meet the other babies, that had to leave their parents!

Emily, we will never forget you. You will always be our first baby.
You were only with us for 20 short days, but you have taught us so
much about how precious life really is. Your memory will live on
forever in our hearts and we will teach your future siblings all about
you. Till we meet again in Heaven,

Although it has been 4 years since you joined Jesus in Heaven, I just wanted to let you know that I think of you always and wonder how you are and so much want to hold you and tell you how much I love you. I often tell your brothers about their guardian angel who is lovingly watching over them. Please always know how much Mommy loves you and knows that someday there will a time when I will be with you to kiss you and cuddle you forever...but until then...I will look at the beautiful flowers and the pretty sunsets and think of you. I love you little Angel of Mine.

But you have left me,
with no answers why.
Oh, Gage please... Show me why.
You made me complete.
Your room is waiting, Your father still cries,
our lives need you, our extension of our love.
My physical marks are proof you where here,
The pain in my heart shows you are loved.
Please play in my dreams and smile in my skys,
for my baby boy is in a magic playground with

I had a little baby boy on April 8, 1999. I only carried him 23 weeks, but I loved him more than I thought was ever possible. I was just letting myself get excited since I've had 2 other miscarriages, during the first trimester. Now that I've lost Owen I've lost a lifetime of hopes, plans, and dreams that I had for him. I hope and pray that there will be other babies in my future, but for right now that is too hard to think about. I have no children now, but I know that Owen is in heaven and being loved and held, so these thoughts do ease my mind. Lori

My twin boys were a product of IVF. They came into this world just a couple of months too early. Everything was fine until the day my water broke and a week later the boys were born. We don't have any other children and will be attempting IVF again in the near future. I miss them so bad. I didn't know until this happened that a person could feel this much pain, and still live. I really loved them already.

I wrote this in hope of expressing my feelings. I am needing someone to help me through this grieving time. Blake died of a rare disease, and it has only been 6 weeks. He was born on 16th February, died on 4th March. Please write to me, I will reply to you on the same day. Many thanks Sonya.
To our little angel. You were to be the completion to our family, our third baby. For reasons we do not understand, God decided you were too special and needed you in heaven. We all miss you every minute of the day. We will always hold a special place in our hearts for you. We look forward to seeing you in heaven some day.
We never got to touch you, hold you, or even see you. We know you are safe and with special people. What keeps us going is that someday we will be able to see you. There's not a day that goes by that you are not thought of, even a minute that goes by. There was a reason you're not with us, we do not know and you probaly don't even know, but there is. No one really ever knows why things happen this way. We loved you from the minute you came in to our lives and forever we will love you. Someday we will hold you, someday we will be able to take care of you. Until then remember we love you always!We will never forget you-ever!
Our baby boy Sean, you were to be our first born, but God had other plans for you. In heaven is where you belonged. Our hearts broke the day you left us, and why we never were to know. But in heaven you are today, looking down upon us. We see you in every star and in every moon, in every raindrop and every ray of sunlight. You come to us in our dreams and we see that you are happy. Our beautiful baby boy, we never heard your cry or saw your smile, or even knew the color of your eyes. We feel you with us and know that you are your baby sister's guardian angel.
We know you are in heaven with your brother or sister. We love you and are so sad that we never knew you and held you in our arms. We learned so much about ourselves and others through the experience of losing you. Your short life was not in vain.
My Love it has been 7 months since you went back to Jesus and me and your daddy want you to know that every single day our love for you grows and grows! While it breaks my heart that you are not here I am so proud and happy to have known you and for you to be my son. You have put so much love and understanding in our hearts. We miss you our "little Pooh Bear"! Never forget how much we love you and once again happy 7 month birthday in heaven!

One day you were there and next you were gone, but you will never leave my heart. I love and miss you, Christian. Someday I will finally get to hold you in my arms, until then... Love, Mommy
To my special baby boy. Mommy loves and misses you so much. I dream of the day that we will meet again. Love always, Mommy.
As I barely make it through my first Mother's Day since my beautiful Joseph was born still, I have come to accept the fact that my heart will ALWAYS be heavy. I long to hear you cry, just once, or to have had the opportunity to look into your eyes, my baby boy. The first anniversary of your birth is also this week of Mother's Day, and I promise you I will remember the short time we had together. I will focus on the memory of feeling you inside my belly, but I will also have to mourn the fact that you were taken from me. You should be here with me right now. You are my son. I am your mother. I know we will be reunited some day, Baby Joey, but until I feel you in my arms again, my heart will ache for you. Love Mommy
I don't care if anyone else thinks it's wrong that I love you and
think of you often. I'm not anyone else; I'm your mother. I am full of guilt. You were growing for eight weeks inside of me
but sadly you had to be taken in out in order that I might live. I had
no choice; it was either you go or we both go. I didn't want them to
take you out; you were growing there inside of me but growing in the
wrong place. I saw you on the ultrasound screen; your heart beating
just moments before your short life was ended. I'm so, so sorry, little one. You'll always be my third child; Bridget
and Mark's little brother or sister. I often think 'what if' and dream
that you're here with me now. Your due date would just have passed.
So instead I write this memorial to you, my darling precious baby, my
angel in heaven. Goodbye little Jamie; someday we'll meet again and
I'll hold you in my arms and never let anyone harm you ever again.
In Memory of David William Buhlamnn, born/died at 22 weeks, On 2-26-99. David, your mommy and daddy, your big brothers Steven and Matthew, miss you terribly. We will love you forever. The candle burns for you baby. We will see you when we get to Heaven. I love you so much!
Though, We didn't get to see your eyes or hear you cry,
we need you to know our sweet baby, We loved you from the moment
we found out you were going to be part of our lives. You were
taken away from us before we even started.
Mary Cameron Atkins was kept in Heaven on January 28, 1999. Although she was born still, her impact on our lives will be forever...
Angel Allison - I have been your mother's sister and best friend for 27 years. I was first to know about you, and first to see you when you were born. You are a beautiful little angel that I will hold in my heart forever. Love, Auntie Kath
I only know you as a tiny speck on an ultrasound photo, but Matthew to me you are so much more. In my heart you did get a chance at life, and you will live lovingly there for eternity. You will grow, and love, and know, everything you were deprived of here on earth. Please remember that I will never forget you, or the promise of who you were to be. You are and always will be my son, and that's all I need to know. I love you Matthew.
The most difficult part is not having anything tangible to remember him by. Although I had just entered my second trimester, he was already so real to me. We were already calling him by name. Ben for short. It seems kind of crazy to me now, daring to name a child within the early weeks of your pregnancy. But to us Ben was already part of the family. We already had images of him running in the park and playing with his older brother. In my mind, we were already a family of four. The hardest part wasn't accepting the physical pregnancy had ended. It was trying to grasp that this soul who I already felt I knew had left us. I would never see his smile. He would never know what a wonder father he had. I would never hear him giggle or see him take his first step. He would exist only in my heart and in my mind's eye. To most of the world I've had a miscarriage. But to me, my child has died. I've lost Ben. A little soul who can't be replaced, only cherished in memory.
Our Son Blake
We knew you for 16 days, no more
Here we are running from our pain, as if we are chasing the wind
Just wishing there is someone or something we could blame
We ask ourselves this question ,how could this be?
A little boy taken from people, just like you and me?
We had the good times, like the day you were born
But where is all the love to go, now there is no more of you?
Our cuddles were short but sweet
Much like that Thursday morning,
Which we remember nothing like a treat.
We can't stop thinking how you looked when you took your last breath,
Was it a sigh of relief, for now you were no longer in pain.
I suppose that is something we will never know.
Everyday and every night as a family we look for you in the sky,
To see you beam
How we were given you to love, and now we are left only the dreams.
Our hearts are full of pain, where and when will they go?
That is something our son, we will never know.

You'll always be with me.
So perfect, so pure and innocent
just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you and your life
and all that it would be.
And waited and long 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 mother.
He'll always be your dad.
You'll alway be our child
The child that we had.
But now you're gone....but yet you're here.
We sense you everywhere.
You are our sorrow and our joy.
There is love in every tear.
Just know our love goes deep and strong.
We will forget you never.
The child we had, but never had
And yet we will have forever.
We love you and miss you and are always thinking of you.
You will always be our angel.

a baby is now on the way.
A dream we had has now come true,
a girl or a boy, either will do.
I received a gift today,
I heard your heart beating away.
It is now a reality, it seems so real.
Will it be a boy or a girl.
I received a gift today,
I felt you move,
what a miracle god has sent our way.
I received a gift today,
God called you home,
with him to stay.

Between the Lord and me;
I may not choose the colors
He knows what they should be;
For he can see the pattern
Upon the upper side,
While I can see it only
On this, the underside.
Sometimes He weaveth illness
Which seemeth strange to me,
But I shall trust His judgement,
And work on faithfully;
Tis He who fills the shuttle,
He knows just what is best,
So I shall weave in earnest
And leave with Him the rest.
Not till the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why-
The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver's skillful hand
As are the threads of gold and silver
In the patterns he has planned.

My baby plays with angel toys
that money cannot buy.
Who am I to wish her back
into a world of strife?
No, Play on my baby
You have eternal life.
At night when all is quiet
and sleep forsakes my eyes
I'll hear her tiny footsteps
come running to my side.
Her Little hands caress me
so tenderly and sweet
I'll breathe a prayer and close my eyes
and embrace her in my sleep.
Now I have a treasure
that rates above all others
I have known true glory
I am still her Mother.
