Abigail's Legacy on our lives  / Adriel Helms (Friend of Family )
Abigail was born to Heaven the week before we had our Daughter, Rylie's church dedication. Abigail's story touched my life on so many different levels, as mother, as a christian, and as a member of the church family. There are many times I think how Rylie and Abigail could have been such good friends, but I take comfort (and giggle a little) in the thought of them one day playing together with the Father. I didn't get the chance to meet Abigail, but she has definitely left a hand print on my heart! Close

For Abby's 2nd Birthday in Heaven  / Mommy
Calling all the angels--
It's a special day today!
For Abby’s turning two years old!
Here's what she has to say:

"Mommy & Daddy, dry all your tears;
I know you miss me so.
And if it had been up to me,
I'd never have to go."

"I knew that you would miss me
And the things that we could do,
And I wish I could have stayed on earth
And lived down there with you."

"But, now I'm well and whole again;
I sing and play all day
With all the little boys and girls
Who've come to heaven to stay."

"Lord Jesus holds us in His arms
And tells us of His love;
He knew that we were hurting--
That's why we came above."

"I love you, so much every day;
I send you kisses, too.
Some day you will join me here
And I'll always be with you."

"I've got to go--the party's on!
We'll sing and dance and play.
But I am always close to your heart
And never far away."

"Please find a way to celebrate,
Even if you cry;
Perhaps you'll send me some balloons
Soaring to the sky."

"And I will know they came from you,
So I'll be somewhere near.
I'll send you love and kisses, too.
Until the day you're here. Close

Abby's 2nd Birthday  / Nana Sherry (Grandmother)

November 29, 2008

Happy Birthday Sweet Abby, we miss you everyday. 

I read a beautiful message written by another grandma in

Missing ^i^ Angels, it expresses my thoughts of you...

"My grandchild took her first breath in the arms of the angels.

She was carried to God on their wings, where she smiled her first smile and knew not our grief. We were left behind alone and bereft .

But I'll hold her one day and she'll smile her sweet smile, and I'll

know all is well...all is well."

 

Love, Nana Sherry

"She was planted on Earth to bloom in Heaven"

Thinking of Abby's family at this time  / Shelley I. (Mommy to Abby's friend Hannah! )
Dear Emily:

I know Abby and Hannah are in Heaven holding hands, looking down on their mommies and their newfound friendship, and I'm sure there's a BIG smile on both their faces!!!

I just wanted to post on Abigail's website that I was thinking of you all yesterday as you celebrated Abby's 2nd birthday in Heaven.  I can picture her holding her birthday balloons and humming, "Happy Birthday to me..."!!!

Our hearts will ache for years to come, my sister in Christ!  But, oh, the joy we'll feel when we walk through Heaven's gates, and the first ones we meet, AFTER we see our Saviour face to face, will be our baby girls, Abby and Hannah!!!  Oh, what joy that will be.  No more heartache, no more pain, no more tears...just pure joy!  (Of course Zac and Sweet New Baby will be right behind their big sisters, waiting to hug their mommies' necks!!!)

Until then, know that you're in my heart, my sister!

I love and appreciate you!

Shelley

My heart breaks  / Julie Sanders

Thank you for sharing your story of your sweet baby girl.  I lost my son we tried four years to conceive on 7-17-07.  My story was much like yours;  No movement, no heartbeat, bloodclot.  I was 27 weeks pregnant.  I have found it so difficult to move on and find peace.  I do not have much of a support system, so to see your website gave me for a moment the peace I had been trying to find for over a year. Thank you so much for sharing your story so other grieving parent's out there, like myself, know they're not alone. 

Julie S.

Sweet Angel  / Erin-Mae Howe

Hi,

What beautiful family pictures, a gorgeous boy you have and a sweet angel.

What a loveley idea, to let go of white balloons in the sky.  I hope you don't mind, but i too will do this for my son on every birthday.  How sweet, wished i could of done that on his memorial, but i wasnt thinking like i usually do. 

I feel your pain, as i lost my baby boy at 23 weeks- he was born sleeping.  He was born the 10th November 2006 just before abigail.

Take care

Erin

Thoughts are with you both  / Billie Wince (By- Passer )

I came across your site as I was going to my Grandson's www.caydenwince.memory-of.com  Always keep her close to your heart.  The heartache is so painful. What a beautiful site.  The loss of a child is so hard, but always remember that the next time you see her it will be forever.

 

Keep the Faith

These Shoes  / Mommy

I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.
I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some woman are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.

my niece plays with angles  / Robert/bob Mattes (uncle)

Someday / Mommy

Someday when I'm old
and someone asks if I'm looking forward to heaven
I'll say I'm eager to see my Jesus
but there's someone else I want to see too.
I'll say
it's been thirty or forty years since I've seen her
and the time we spent together was all too brief-
four hours or so,
that's all,
and she was so tiny and frail
I never had a chance to find out who she was
or what she was like-
what she could have done,
who she could have been,
but she was my child,
flesh of my flesh,
my own,
and I love her
with limitless love.
My other children grew up
and grew older with me
but this one-
the one I'm longing to see-
stayed the same through the years-
her face fixed in my memory
like a faded snapshot,
its corners worn
from too much handling.
Through the years,
the good and bad times,
I've dreamed of that distant reunion
and imagined the moment
I could look her in the eyes
and say,
Precious Abby,
your mommy has missed you
but we'll never be apart again. Close

Beautiful Tribute  / Vivian (none)
I found your site throught Hollywood Foto Fix as I am trying to get my daughter Angel Marie's picture done.

We will all meet again someday.  
God bless you and may Abby's short life not be in vein.  Love and hugs...a friend in NY Close

MISSing Abby  / Meghan Barr (Friend of mom's from MISS )
Your little girl is absolutely beautiful, I so wish I could change things and bring her back to you (At least physically) in spirit she is with you always, in each breathe you take. I just wanted to let you know your daughter has touched the lives of our family and is playing in heaven with our little girl Adriana. We will keep your family and little Abby in our prayers always!

Abby / Mommy

I love you more than words can say.
My heart aches because you've gone away.

Heaven is where you are, I know. 
And when my life is through, I'll also go.

What a joyful time it will finally be.
When once again it's you and me!

I love you so much, Abby.
I miss you.

Love,

Remembering Our Sweet Abigail  / Nana &. Poppy Mattes (Grandparents)

We Remember Her

At the rising of the sun and at its going down, we remember her.

At the blowing of the wind and the snow of winter, we remember her.

At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember her.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember her.

At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of fall, we remember her.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember her.

As long as we live, she to will live; for she is a part of us, as we remember her.

And someday when we leave this earth, we will see her again.

Love, Nana & Poppy 8/29/07
