The Love Of A Child Lost

I am the author of this poem. It has been 15 years since my niece/goddaughter passed. Not a day goes by that I don't think of my precious angel. My brother and sister-in-law have since had another child, and her name is Aliana. I have been made her godmother too since the passing of my first goddaughter. I am touched that many of you have found solace in this poem. It took an entire night for me to write this as each time I tried, I cried until I found the right words to put together in loving memory of my niece/goddaughter. I only hope that she is proud of the poem and that my words have eased others' pain. Thank you all again for the kind and wonderful memories of your loved ones, and may they all rest in peace.

On the 15th September 1990 I was blessed with a beautiful daughter TAYLIA I already had 2 boys so she was a blessing, but for some reason she was taken from me on the 29th December 2007 she was 17. On the 17th December 2007 she came and seen me we were dancing and singing the last song was James blunt your beautiful, every time the chorus bit come on she'd look at me and say mom your beautiful, and they were the last words I heard. Then 3 hours later my ex sister and brother in-law came and told me she was in a car crash. It blew me away I thought they were joking, but they weren't when I got to the hospital I almost fainted here's my beautiful angel laying there with every machine possible keeping her alive. They took her to South Port hospital and that's were she stayed till the 29th December 2007 not one movement or talking just laying there doing nothing. Then the doctors told me I had to make a choice, one of the biggest choices of my life, I had to turn the life support machine off. I blamed myself for 6 years thinking did I do the right thing, but now I know I did cause if I didn't turn it off then my daughter would have been in a nursing home getting fed through a nose tube and that's something my daughter would have hated. The pain is always there and no parent should bury a child before them but god wanted an angel and that angel was my daughter. The one thing that gets me through life is all the memories I have of her. Her smile her lovely long straight black hair the fight we had but most of all the friendship that no one could ever break... luv you TAYLIA and miss you like crazy, mum

My name is Hope and my daughter had our first grandchild on June 27, 2012. He was the most beautiful baby boy. He was my little angel my joy, on October 8, 2012 he passed away. I can still hear my daughters voice when she called me telling me he wasn't breathing. It rings through my head every day. She was looking for me to help her but I couldn't. Our beautiful little angel sent from God passed away from SIDS. Here it is just two days away from his birthday . . . . . and I still don't know how to help ease her pain.

My daughter Nicole Rose Glass was murdered along with her pregnant roommate Melissa Mason on 12/3/10. These two friends were both 27 years old. I was notified by a friend who saw my daughter's home being shown on TV. There was a media frenzy in front of her house, she told me to turn on the TV. The media said that two 27 year old women were dead inside the house. We immediately drove to her house, I called the police on the way and they would not tell me if she was dead, they said that they would meet me, and asked what kind of vehicle we were in. To date the police do not have anyone in custody. My daughter and her pregnant friend were STRANGLED to death. The strangulation is personal, a person has to feel rage to do this to someone. If you read my story and by chance you may know something about this crime please call Silent Witness 1-800-343-TIPS. Thank you..for reading this, there is not a day that goes by that I still don't break down, I miss my girl, my daughter, my friend. LOVE MOM

On May 26th, 2011 my husband and I were blessed with our 3rd child, Ashlynn Brooke. She was a beautiful little gift from above. On the morning of July 17th, 2011 I awoke to my angel next to me lifeless. I replay that morning in my head often. I just felt like it was so unfair, maybe as if I were tricked. I fell in love and she was taken. I have had another child since her passing, my son was born Sept. 2nd, 2011, I really feel like Ashlynn was sent here to remind us all how precious life is. I cherish every moment with my 3 children here..even those crazy ones us mothers deal with. I think of my sweet face angel Ashlynn many times daily. Everytime I look into her baby brothers eyes I really feel like she's staring back at me. I am a very blessed mother to have all of my children and blessed that I had the time I did with her..it may have been short, but it was very sweet!

This is a great poem. very sad but also soothing. My daughter Eliah was born at rest on July 7th 2010. The pain will never go away, and I will always feel like she is still apart of me. I guess because she is. Even though she didn't make it in this world very long but she made the greatest impact on my life. She had a big name to live up to but she did it perfectly. I love you Eliah Jade Adams, hope you find peace with God.

My Angel Girl "Mayra"

The Lord took my Angel home March 3, 2010 at the tender age of 4 yrs old. She battled childhood cancer for 7 months, but the battle was too much for her little body. My baby passed away in my arms and I felt her last breath. My heart is so broken I don't think it will ever heal. I miss her hugs and her kisses and her always telling me "Mommy I Love You To My Heart". Life is so empty without her. I need her so much but the little comfort I feel is that I know she is no longer in any pain. I cant wait to be with you My Angel Girl. I will always love you and thank you for being such a sweet loving little girl. Kisses from my heart.

Wow! this touched me deeply as I also lost a daughter. called Aaleyah. the name means greatest gift from god. so I understand the part in the poem about the name. she was born preemie at 28 weeks and very sick on 30.04.08 died the next day 1.05.08. I don't know what else to say except the tears are flowing as I write this now!
