What can I say, Eli was the most beautiful boy in the world. He was such a sweet baby who had so many smiles to share with everyone. He stole my heart the minute I saw him and he took part of it with him when he left. We had issues with his feeding for months, but never suspected anything serious. I knew something was wrong because he wasn't moving around like he should, but everyone kept saying "just give him time"... We had a nice first Christmas even though he didn't really understand it. He did love looking at the lights on the Christmas tree, so they were on from the time he woke up until he went to bed. A few days after Christmas he had an incident of choking and we decided to be safe and took him to the ER. I had no idea we would get the worst news that anyone could ever hear. Eli had spinal muscular atrophy, SMA, and wouldn't live to see his 2nd birthday. I think I walked around in shock for a few months after that. He never really recovered from his visit to the hospital. The doctors refused to let us feed him for 50 hours and after that, he was just so weak. We did bring him home for a week, but soon ended up back up there. We stayed almost another week and brought him home...he passed away about 4 hours after we got home. I held him as he took his last breath and for hours after. I hated to let him go...I knew it would be the last time he would EVER be in my arms. I miss him so much. I would give anything I own for one more of those beautiful smiles.
Angel Day Celebration - by Unknown Author
This day will be a celebration
Of the short time you were here.
You will always be remembered
With great love and many tears.
But to only feel pain and sorrow
Would not be fair to you.
Your life meant so much more to us,
More than words could say.
You were here so briefly,
I wonder if you knew
All the ways you’ve touched
Our world and our hearts
And everyone who knew you
Since the day God called you home.
Now my child, you’re an Angel
With your heavenly Father above,
We see not only what we’ve lost
But our capacity of love.
There will always be a big void
In our life and a hole in our
Hearts that will never heal.
Our souls will grieve forever.
Will we forget or stop loving you?
No! Not now…not ever.
As this day is upon us,
Oh, how our hearts still hurt.
But even as I mourn your death,
We will always celebrate your birth.
It was the happiest day of our lives.

If I Knew
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
That I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
And call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
So I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
To stop and say "I love you,"
Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
So I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
To make up for an oversight,
And we always get a second chance
To make everything just right.
There will always be another day
To say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
To say our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
And today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
And I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
Young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
You get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
For a smile, a hug, or a kiss
And you were too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
And whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
And that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today.

My Christmas wishes fly to you,
Like lovely snowflakes from the blue,
Spilling gently from my heart,
Falling softly through the dark,
Until they find your candlelight,
Through whispering winds that sing of night.
May peace and joy wrap you in,
Blankets of love, where hope has been.
And may your kind and gentle ways,
Be blessed with happy, peaceful days,
Becoming more beautiful with every thought,
Like every flake the earth has caught.

♥MERRY CHRISTMAS♥MERRY CHRISTMAS♥
In a baby castle, just beyond your eye,
Your baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who are you to wish him back into this world of strife,
No, play on your baby, they'll have eternal life.
At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes your eyes,
You'll hear their tiny footsteps come running to your side
Their little hands caress you so tenderly and sweet,
You'll breathe a prayer and close your eyes and embrace them in your sleep.
Now you have a treasure that you rate above all others
You have known true glory,
You are still their mother.

Birthday Remembrance
Thinking of you on your birthday Elias
But that is nothing new
For no day dawns and no day ends
Without a thought of you.
We cannot send a birthday card,
Your hand we cannot touch,
But God will take our greetings
To the one we love so much.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIAS

God needed an angel in heaven
When Jesus lived upon the earth so many years ago,
He called the children close to him because he loved them so.....
And with that tenderness of old, that same sweet, gentle way,
He holds your little loved one close within his arms today.....
And you’ll find comfort in your faith that in his home above
The God of little children gives your little one his love....
So think of you little darling lighthearted and happy and free
Playing in God’s promised land where there is joy eternally.
Helen Steiner Rice
Dearest Rita and Jason,
though I've only known you for a short time, I know too well the agonizing pain and aches that fill your body, mind and souls. Sometimes day to day, other times week by week. No one can truly feel or understand that pain, only you because it was your loss. Those who care and love you will try to console you, give you words of encouragement, pray for you and some will shy away...fear of saying the wrong thing or simply not knowing what to say.
I wish there were a magical wand I could wave to wipe away all the pain. I wish I could say to you that you'll be better soon, or that the pain will go away, I can't, no one can. Only time will tell and that doesn't mean that time heals all things. Time,however, is on your side. In time you will breathe better, and you will smile again.
Always,
kimberley
Best Angel Friends - Unknown Author
A beautiful little Angel showed up to Heaven's gates
Confused and unknowing the plan that for him awaits.
Then another little Angel walked up and took his hand and said,
"Please don't be sad you left, you're in the Promised Land."
"I'm glad to be here but I do not think I was meant to go,
Perhaps there was a mistake, for my Mummy wanted me so."
The little greeting Angel gave a sweet smile and said,
"My Mummy wanted me too, but to Heaven I was led.
You see, we do not get to choose when on earth it's time to go.
He gave us life, love and joy and a Mother's womb to grow.
The Lord still needs new Angels to guide them down on earth.
To watch over, comfort them, and help them see their worth."
"Is there still a way that I can sleep in my Mummy's bed?"
The greeting Angel grinned and said, "that luxury you'll keep.
I visit my Mummy nightly and softly sing her to sleep."
The little Angel replied, "then I think I'll like it here.
I'll visit my Mummy nightly and weaken her pain and fears.
I love her and will keep her safe at night and in between,
And let her know with a sweet memory that she is still with me."
The greeting Angel gave his new friend a big hug and said,
"Until our Mummy's meet us here, let's be best Angel friends."
"Okay," said the new Angel, "that sounds good to me."
Then the Angels sat and played keeping their Mummy's in sight,
Humming the tunes to the song they would sing to their Mummy's tonight...
Good night from our Angels XX
I'm sorry I don't come light a candle for you every night my little one. Sometimes that picture of you smiling is just too much for me to handle. I love and miss you so much. I will never understand why you had to go and my arms will never stop aching to hold you. I love and miss you so much. I would gladly die just to hold you for another minute.
