Tomy, we were so excited when we finally concieved you! We couldn't wait until the day you would finally be here with us; so many people were anxiously awaiting your arrival. It was amazing to see you move during the ultrasounds and hear your heartbeat. And then we started to feel you move! How truly amazing it was to feel you growing and moving inside of me. And then the day came when they found the problems - we thought we would die. It didn't even seem real. how could this be happening? We did all of the things we were supposed to. Now you are an angel in heaven with God. I can't wait until the day when we will get to hold you and be with you and finally be together as a family. You are forever in our hearts. I hope with my entire being that you know how special you are to us and how badly we wanted you. As painful as it was to make the decision, I am grateful that we had the opportunity to be with you for the little time we had.

Until we meet again, with all our Love,
Mommy and Daddy.

You came to us as a symbol of hope for the future. Even though you will never walk this earth with us, just as the sun rises every morning and the flowers will bloom each spring, hope will spring eternal. We named you Evan, meaning "young warrior," since you fought so hard to join us in this life; but your frail little body would not let it be and we returned you to God's loving arms. We take comfort knowing you will never know pain or fear, only God's love. We only had you for a short while, but you taught us to Love, M
ore dearly and hold each day more precious. We put you to rest in the park Mommy played in as a child with hopes that your spirit will soar with the laughter of children for generations to come. You will live in our hearts forever, our sweet baby boy.

All our Love,

Turner's Syndrome, Cystic Hygroma, Hydrops

Your name might have been Aimee, which means Love,
and that you are, whether in my womb or the stars above. To give you back to God was a difficult decision for daddy and me, But for you to breathe the air of this Earth, was never meant to be. All we have of you now is the image of your tiny hands and feet, You and the doctors made that for us, something precious to keep. So there will be no baby shower, no nursery, no cheer. Daddy and I are only left to comfort each other through broken dreams with tears. People don’t know how to console us, they don’t know what to say. But nothing can really ease the pain of having your baby ripped away. Perhaps someday we’ll get to see you, maybe when we die. Then we’ll see you in heaven and get to hold you for the first time.

Daddy & Mommy miss you very much,
XOXO we'll never forget our angel baby XOXO

Ashlee, my angel, I think of you night and day. It has been a year since we lost you and I question my choice all the time. I want you to know I did it for love. I didn't want to make you suffer. If I could turn back time, I would have held you, I would have kissed you, I would have told you that you mean the world to me. Now all I can do is pray to you and visit you in my dreams. My sweet angel, you were just too perfect for such an imperfect world. Daddy and I love you so much and in such a short time you have changed our lives forever. You are our Guardian Angel. We look forward to holding you in our arms and spending eternity with you, until then, may you find peace and comfort in God's arms.

XOXOX,
Mommy & Daddy

Trisomy 13 / Holoproencephaly

It's been almost five years since we were told we had to make the hardest decision a parent will ever have to make. I wanted to carry you until nature said it was time, but my body would not allow it. So it was to be that on September 27, 2002 I was induced and on September 29, 2002 you were born to Heaven.

You were born so small ... 7 7/8" long, weighing in at only 4.8 oz. But to your Daddy and me you were beautiful. Not what they told us to expect at all. We were able to see you and hold you. I saw your last breath you took and I will remember it always.

On the day of your memorial service we sent 19 pink balloons in the air as we sang 'Jesus Loves Me'. Your ashes were laid next to your Great-Grandfather who has watched over you in Heaven where we will see you again someday.

Please know that we loved you from the moment we knew you were coming to be with us. I think of you often and visit you as well. We were blessed with your sister in 2004, so God has given back what he had taken home.

We Love You and Miss You,
Mommy, Daddy, your brothers and sister

I so hoped for a little girl (and so did Grandma) and never imagined that you would be so ill. You are such a special angel that God called you back to heaven to sit on his lap. We miss you here on earth, but are happy that you are our angel in Heaven that will never feel the pain and suffering that you would here with us. Watch down on us and guide us through life, especially your big brother Caden. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Our dearest Alexandra it's hard to know where to start. We want you to know first and foremost that we love you with all our hearts and we pray that we made the right chioce for you. We miss you every minute of every day. It's so hard without you. We had every expectation of getting to hold you, love you and be with you in just nine weeks. It was pure hell for us letting go of you, but we had to because we love you too much to watch you suffer or die slowly. I hope you can forgive us if we made the worst mistake of our lives, we didn't mean too if we did. We'll never be the same people we once were after going through all of this with you. I personally Alex will try to remember all of the joy you gave me in your short life. Like the time I had an ultrasound of you around the 28th week and I saw you yawn! It was the most beautiful thing to me. That made me smile and laugh out loud. When your grandmother and I held you we thought you were so pretty. Your tiny hands and blonde hair will always stick out in my mind. To me you will always be perfect, no matter what the tests say. Please be happy and without any pain or suffering for us sweetie. I know heaven has to be better that earth. We shall meet again one day and be together always. We love you so much and will always remember you. Alex, I also want to thank you for saving my life. I quit smoking because of you and I promise you I will never smoke again. Goodbye our sweet angelbaby. We love you.

It has been one year since we said goodbye to you. As we look back upon the most difficult year that we have faced, we wonder what life would have been like had we not had to let you go. Family events, holidays, and of course mundane daily life would have been so different had you been able to stay with us. When we lost you, we also lost our happiness, innocence, and our youth. But in its place we have gained a deep sensitivity, wisdom and maturity that we otherwise would have never known. Thank you Uriel for coming to this world and teaching us these life lessons that we could have learned no other way. We will love you and miss you always. You remain in our hearts forever.

It hurts my heart when I try to imagine what you look like, or what your personality would have been like. You have another little sister now, Sophia. She was born in 2005. Your little sisters are lucky to have their big brother as a guardian angel. Although I never got to hold you, or see your face, you will always have a place in my heart, my mind and my soul.
