My Angel
Posted On Tuesday May 16, 2006 By on my ownThe saddest things i own is my baby steffi’s birth and death certificate… I have put them inside a box with the last baby clothes she wore… her mittens, her shirt, her pictures.. Once in a while i open the box and smell them…
I gave birth to her prematurely on my 6th month of pregnancy Dec 18 2004..as soon as she was out,they had to put her inside an incubator..
I saw how she struggled to live and as her mom it totally broke my heart and all I could do was pray and cry everyday hoping that she could pass all of these..
She finally gave up on dec 29…The night before she died I was there,holding her hand..she was so small..when i put my finger in her hands she squeezed it..an i started crying bec she felt i was there for her..her mother..
Her death has changed me so much…my views on relationships,on life and the importance of my being a mother…I still have a 6yr old daughter who needs me..and her baby sister’s death made me realize that no one will ever be as impt as your very own children..
I still miss her..but i just tell myself that now that she’s up there..I know that I have my own angel up there who can help me with my prayers to the LORD..

My nephew died in April 2004 when he was almost 3 months old. It was the hardest thing I ever had to go through as an aunt, so I can only imagine how you feel. Something that was told to me comforted me a bit though. Someone said to me ‘now you have the pain and not him’. I thought about it and it made me feel better. I would rather be in the pain than have my nephew have it. Just something to think about.

I am so sorry for your loss. As a mother I cannot imagine your grief. I think in your situation I would love that 6 year old all the more…

An Angel in the book of life wrote down your baby’s birth and whispered as she closed the book… ‘too beautiful for earth’

Just a few days ago within my family this happened. She lost her baby prematurely and having been her first child, We were all just getting over the fact that she was pregnant. But her miscarriage took us by suprise, we were looking forward to her baby girl. Rest in peace A , Your in God’s hands now. May you look over Mum and Dad through their time of need. We love you baby girl and will never stop loving you.
