"Some people only dream of angels; I held one in my arms."

A Poem for Peanut

Our little Nicholas you never opened your eyes,
You never got a chance to even let out a cry,

We held you so tightly never wanting to let you go,
Oh how Mommy and Daddy miss you so,

You had Mommy's chin and Daddy's eyelashes,
This is something we will remember in our memory flashes,

Kissing and kissing your tiny toes,
We couldn't stop touching your little button nose,

Your beautiful face peeking out of your blanket,
You are perfect for Heaven which is why you didn't make it,

Mommy sees you many nights in her dreams,
We know exactly what this means,

Since that night in December you have looked over us from Heaven,
Did you know Mommy's lucky number was seven?

Our little peanut you will be for life,
We promise you darling we won't forget your fight that night,

You are an angel now and in Heaven you will stay,
We wouldn't think of you in any other way,

Someday we will meet you at the gates of Heaven,
It is then we will hold you in our arms forever.

Footprints

"How very softly
you tiptoed into our world

Almost silently,
only for a moment you stayed.

But what an imprint
your footprints have left upon our heart."




"IF I COULD HAVE A LIFETIME WISH
A DREAM THAT WOULD COME TRUE.
I'D PRAY TO GOD WITH ALL MY HEART FOR YESTEREDAY AND YOU.
A THOUSAND WORDS CAN'T BRING YOU BACK;
I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE TRIED.
AND NEITHER WILL A MILLION TEARS,
I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE CRIED.

YOU LEFT BEHIND MY BROKEN HEART
AND HAPPY MEMORIES TOO
I NEVER WANTED MEMORIES,
I ONLY WANTED YOU."

To Any Newly Bereaved Parents:

Things will get worse before they get better.  People will tell you to "get over it" and to "move on"  You will never "get over" losing a baby and your baby will always be a part of your family.  Keep those pictures out in your home of your little one.  Hang that christmas stocking in your home for them.  Do not care what anyone thinks of anything that you do with regard to the memories of your angels.  
Please remember that although your pain will never go away the days will get better.  Some will be good and others will be harder.  Have hope, faith and believe that when you are at your worst you can go on.   

If you need to talk to someone and just do not know what to say or do please email me at the link in the right hand margin at the top of the page. 

Much love to all of our special angels in heaven.....
