If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think;
but the most important thing is, even if we're apart,
I will always be with you.

Things I want to forget but never will...

  • waking up at 4am on November 11th and realizing I hadn't felt you move the night before when I went to bed...
  • poking you and poking you, waiting for you to kick me back... praying to God that you were okay... begging him to not do this to me...
  • walking over to the hospital crying...
  • the sound of static on the doppler where your heartbeat should have been...
  • the cry that escaped my lips when I knew you were gone...
  • calling your Daddy to tell him you were gone...
  • the way your Daddy held me and we both cried when he came to the hospital...
  • the quiet drive all the way to the hospital where we would deliver you... knowing we would come back with empty arms...
  • hoping that you would by some miracle be alive when you were born even though no one could find a heartbeat...
  • giving birth to my beautiful baby boy who had already gone to heaven...
  • kissing you and leaving you in the bassinet in the hospital room all wrapped up the night you were born... the hardest thing I will ever have to do...
  • sitting in bed every night since then wishing this was just a dream and that I would wake up and you'd be here...
  • crying for you and wishing this wasn't my life...

I think we all want to hear those magic words 'we were wrong' as soon as delivery is complete. We know....but still hope.... Hugs...

Oh Lareina thank you for sharing this beautiful blog with me. We met at Angel Whispers group beginning of March.
Today was supposed to be my due date. So i have been so scared for this day to arrive. Saying goodbye to my little baby boy was... well you know the feeling. The hardest day of my life. SO UNFAIR I just wish this was all a bad dream too. I am writing to you because today I spent most of my day reading your postings and crying... Your blog that you have created for your baby boy Kaelen is absolutely amazing and such a nice tribute for your little man.I decided to create a blog for my little man too. So I just want to thank you for helping me get through this sad day. Everything you say is exactly how I am feeling. Our stories are so similar and I am so glad I had the chance to hear and read your story. I know nothing I say can compare to holding your baby. But you helped me today and I just want to say Thank-you..
Your little man is so perfect and beautiful and I will pray for that Rainbow Baby for you & your family.
Big hug from baby Jaydan's Mommy Lindsay
