Our Angel "Matthew"
by Cindy Yensen



God sent an Angel, to live with us on earth, a child filled with laughter and love, it was evident since his birth.

We knew that he'd be special, a gift sent from above, a very easy child to know, a very easy child to love.

To dance with you in colour.......... would not do

to dream of you in this dimension........would not be true

to notice you in these moments ...would be obscure

to see you in the world not seen

The hardest words a mother can hear is ...GOODBYE from a CHILD!

And the Hardest thing a Mother can do is... Let Her Child GO!

Angel in the Corner
by Brenda Verdiel



There's an Angel in the corner,
with a penny in his pocket
And he's Mommy's Special Angel, with a penny in his pocket
His eyes are as Blue as the sky above
He's Mommy's Special Angel, He's the one I love.
Special angel over there
Kneeling down to say his prayers
Keep him safe both night and day
Keep that big bad devil away.

Journal
by Dalton's Dad



IF I NEVER SEE ANOTHER RAINBOW
IF I NEVER TOUCH ANOTHER ROSE
IF I NEVER STAND ON THE OCEAN SHORE
I TRULY KNOW I,VE BEEN BLESSED;
FOR YOU DALTON ARE MY RAINBOW,
MY ROSE,MY OCEAN
WITH EACH PASSING HEART BEAT
WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE
I SAVE EVERY MOMENT AS MY LAST.
AND IF ITS TO BE MY LAST
I TRULY WOULD SAY I WAS LUCKY,
FOR I HAVE SEEN AN ANGEL

Scott

From the words we've written we hope you see, you make up everything that's a part of us.











Scott, You Are...



You are the sun that brightens our whole life.
You are the stars that comfort us through troublesome nights.
You are the soft breeze that makes us laugh.
You're the time spent which makes sadness pass.
You're the earth below and the sky above which fills our world with so much love.

David...precious David. I chose your name because it means "beloved"











From A Mother's Heart
written by Sandy Riggs, January 1999



Some of you may ask: "why would you share something so intensely painful and personal with complete strangers on the internet?" And my simple answer to that question is this: We, none of us, are really strangers. I believe that deep down in my soul. We may not have met on this vast landscape we call Earth, but all of us have at least one thing in common: We are spiritual people.
