So Terribly sorry  / Dawn Bradridge (passer by )

I was so deeply touched by your story. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I am feeling alot of the same pain as I just lost my Grandson Ayden on July 18th/05. We only had him for 12 short days as he got sick with "JUST A VIRUS" as the docs told us and sent him home. As it turned out it took his little life. Nothing can take this pain away but please try to remember that in time it will get better. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If you would like to see his site his name is Ayden Brandon Mervyn-Johannson. God-Bless

sorry / Rochelle (visitor)
I am so sorry. I to know what it is like to lose a child. I lost my only daughter 3/2/05 at the age of 7. Her name is Kailey Bowles. She passed away suddenly also. it is a hard thing to go thru. Your son was beautiful. If you visit Kaileys site you will see that she was good with her brothers and I know she is in heaven taking care of your son showing him the ropes. I hope you are coping ok. And I will think of you always. xxxxxx Rochelle Close

Little Angel Tot  / Lori Kenney (visitor)

Dear mommy of Tater Tot,
First, I think that is the sweetest little nickname. I am so very touched by your story. I am so so so very sad for your loss.  I don't know why these things have to happen, I just know that our Lord will hold us through hard times and carry us through our worst times. I pray that God will show you peace and joy once again. I lost my little Nicole (www.nicole-kenney.memory-of.com) on May 26, 2005, she was 13 months old, blind and brain damaged. She taught me lessons I never would have known had she not come into my life.  We are all here for a reason, no matter how short.  We can be thankful that our little ones were born at all, so they may have the most beautiful life up in heaven, something they would never have, had they never been here at all. I feel your pain and I am sorry.
May God bless you and keep you. Now your sweet boy is a little Angel Tot.
with love, Lori

Heart Breaking  / Joan Hughes (passer by )
I lost my 15 month old grandson on June 18th., the hurt is still so strong. I just want you to know you are in my prayers. I am watching my daughter struggle through this ordeal and it breaks my heart even more. God bless you and hold you until you have the strength to hold up yourself once again. Kisses to your "tater tot". Close

I know your pain all too well  / Maria Boone (Another angel mommy )

Quintin was taken from you the same way Elijah was taken from us.  At a moment when you think all is well; he is sleeping in his crib/playpen in your home and you don't even think about your child passing in the night, but it happened to both of us and I know how horrifying it is.  The only difference was that Elijah was 19 months.  I still can't grasp the reality of it all and I don't think I ever will.  It's been three months since Elijah became an angel and it hasn't gotten any better for me.  I miss him so much and I know you miss Quintin with all your heart.  You are very right when you say nothing is worse than the loss of a child.  There is absolutely nothing in this world that is worse than losing your child--NOTHING!!!!  Please know that you are not alone and that you are more than welcome to e-mail me.  I would love to keep in touch.  Our babies were taken from us so suddenly and we can relate to each other on that level.  I hope you have a good support system around.  Quintin is a beautiful baby and you are blessed to have him, even in the little time that you did.  He serves a purpose in your life, and you two will be reunited again one day.  Here is a poem on Elijah's memorial site that I think you might find comforting.  When you get the chance, please visit.

Elijah's memorial website:  bolingling.memory-of.com

A PLACE WHERE CHILDREN ARE

What kind of place would heaven be
With all its streets of gold,
If all the souls, that dwell up there
Like yours and mine, were old?
How strange would heaven's music sound
When harps begin to ring.
If children were not gathered 'round
To help the angels sing.
The children that God sends to us
Are only just a loan,
He knows we need their sunshine
To make the house a home.
We need the inspiration of
A baby's blessed smile.
He doesn't say they've come to stay
Just lends them for a while.
Sometimes it takes them years to do
The work for which they come,
Sometimes in just a month or two
Our Father calls them home.
I like to think some souls up there
Bear not one sinful scar.
I love to think of heaven as
A place where children are.

little tatter tot  / Christi Troxel (Claudia's mommy )

When you're pregnant, you do all the good mommy things.  You prepare his room, you fill the drawers with clothes, and decorate so sweet.  You Prepare your heart, and your home for the new little miricle that is about to enter your life.  Then the day finnaly comes, and you take one look at that little sqinty-eyed face, and instantly fall in love, all the fears that may have once presided, are now a thing of the past.  This is the one thing that you can't prepare for.  When you are taking the lamaze classes, or reading the "what to expect" books, nothing can prepare you.  Like you, I thought " this doesn't happen to my baby"!!!  My little girl had been crying before I left home that aweful day- almost as if she were scared.  and now I wonder if it was because, God sent his angels down and told her it was today that she had to say good-bye to her mommy and daddy, and she was afraid.  It breaks my heart.  Q- knew your love, and my little Claudi would smile sometimes in her sleep too.  You are right- who wouldn't smile at going to meet Jesus and God in heaven.  If we were only that lucky.  You were a good mommy until the end, and even now.  Find comfort in that.   You said that you thought for a moment that he had died.  That is common.  I would regularly get up every couple hours when my girls were first born, and check to make sure they were still breathing.  When I went back to work, I would call home, because I had that same fear- perhaps that was God preparing you for what we were enevitably going to expirecne.  I thought I was crazy thinking such, I thought ugly things, but it was purely out of concern.  They are so little, you just always want to make sure that the're ok....and now we know they are, playing at Jesus' feet.  God Bless you and your family.  You are welcome to visit Claudia-Troxel

I Share Your Sorrow  / Tressa Stunson (Great Auntie )
His time on this earth was too short.  Doesn't seem fair.  My baby lost his life at the age of 17...again a life cut far too short.  And it's been almost 14 years since we lost our Barry.  The pain doesn't go away.  So I know what you are going thru.  This site must be some comfort to you.  I hope this msg is a comfort to you.  We love you; we loved Q.  We'll see him and Barry in heaven.  Stay strong in the Lord.  Hugs and Kisses, Auntie Close
