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.
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.
I miss you so much Eli. Today made 3 months that you've been gone but it already feels like a lifetime. Sometimes I wonder if you were just a dream. I cried today when I saw a litte boy walking away from the elementary school. I can't believe I'll never get to walk you to school. I've been so angry all day at everyone and everything. How can you be gone? I just don't understand it, not at all. I hate looking at your pictures now; I want new ones, but they will never be taken. Life is just too unfair sometimes. Beautiful smiling boys like you should be around for a long time.
Daddy and I are really missing you right now sweet baby boy. Lots of tears have been shed over the past week. I wish things could be different... My arms ache to hold you.
2ND APRIL 2009

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY
May god bless your life today
With so many beautiful things
Sunshine love and laughter
The joy that friends can bring
With happy thoughts and smiles
And nothing to bring you tears
I pray for nothing to hurt you
Or cause you any fears
For when the day as ended
And long shadows softly creep
I pray that god will bless you
With a night of peaceful sleep
WITH LOVE ,JUDE. X
You would have been 8 months old today little man. I always wonder what we'd be doing now if you were here. I wonder what you'd look like, what new sounds you'd be making. I wish you could have had "normal" genes so we wouldn't have lost you so early in your life. You were one special baby and would have been an amazing man. I love you my sweet baby. I miss you so much.
God bless beautiful little Eli. Such a beautiful little boy taken too soon. Look after your mummy and daddy little man. Your one of god's little angels. Love Kimberley xxxx
Our little man..
Hey baby boy... You aren't suffering anymore.. Wish we would have had a little more time to spend with ya.. Sure do miss you.. But know that you are here with us each and every day in our hearts.. Miss your beautiful smile.. Miss hearing you talk to us.. But we have some wonderful memories of our little trooper.. Just always know.. Auntie loves you dearly and misses you like crazy... Hope to see you again one day.. I love you little man!
Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama please don't cry~
"Cause I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies."
Please, try not to question God,
Don't think he is unkind
Don't think He sent me to you,
and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child,
and I'm needed up above
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you
and watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost,
that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze,
from a gentle wind that blows
That's me, I'll be there,
planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing,
and your heart feels a little tug,
That's me, I'll be there,
giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.
