Happy Birthday Shalya. We have never had the Privilege of meeting but i feel like i know you through the website.

I sat yet again today reading Christi's blog and crying for your loss and for sweet Christi who should be here to Celebrate #8 with her little sister.

In all my life I didn’t know I could feel such hate and rage for anything or anyone the way I do for this monster that continues to take our sweet babies from us. Christi was the bravest warrior I have ever known we will forever be grateful to her and to you for giving us strength in our time of need.


All our love and prayers.

What beautiful baby pictues! I'm sure you have so many memories of the years between then and now! I hope Shayla's enjoying life as a new eight-year-old, and I hope that she had a great weekend celebrating that milestone. My prayers remain with your family.

Valentines...... To Heaven

This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind,
Its still filled with love...and blessings inside;
But mine has to be sent on the wings of love...
You see its destination is the Heavens above.

Its not being sent to my parents so dear,
For they are still with me each day of the year;
Its being sent to my child...who left earth so soon,
Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon.

The message is the same as your valentine,
"I love you...my sweet precious child of mine;
My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue,
And its sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you."

"I know you are with me each and every day,
You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say;
For that is one thing that disease cannot do...
...you'll always be apart of me...and me a part of you."

"I know God did not give you the awful disease,
Thank Him for His comfort He gives me...would you please?
I dont know what I would do without His undying love...
Sent to bereaved parents from the Heavens above."

"I know you are in the best of care,
But it's so hard for us left on earth to bear;
Could you put in a request from us left behind...
For God to send the knowledge..so a cure we can find."

"So that no other family has to go through this pain,
Our lives without you will never be the same;
When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night...
And see you shining down your big bright light."
