When I was into my 32nd week of pregnancy I was in a terrible car wreck, a head on collision. After I was gotten out of the car I was placed on a backboard and put in a neck brace and rushed to the hospital. I was bleeding internally, my back was broken, my neck was injured and I was unconscious and in labor. I was taken immediately into surgery so they could do a C-Section. Sometime later I awoke in recovery and I knew something wasn't right. My child... the child my husband and I wanted so much was no longer inside me. And the man I loved most in this world was standing there beside me with tears streaming down his face. He didn't have to say it... I knew. I tried to be brave and tell him that we could have more and all he could do was shake his head. There would be no children. I was so messed up inside they had to do a complete hysterectomy. I felt as if someone had punched me in the stomach. I couldn't breathe. I was numb. I had just lost the child that I wanted so much and now they were telling me I could never have anymore. I was 23 years old and I felt as if I was dying inside.
While I was in the hospital and I was grieving for my son there was a nurse that had to be the most uncaring person I have ever met. I was crying a few days after and she had the nerve to tell me to "suck it up and grow up and be an adult about it". You see to her, since he never lived and I never held him, he never took a breath or saw the light of day... well, he somehow wasn't "really a person". He wasn't a child I should be grieving over. When she walked out she told the other nurse that "some people will do anything for sympathy". I've never been a violent person, but that day I could have strangled that woman if I could have gotten to her. My husband heard me screaming down the hall that my baby was too real. I heard his little heart beat and felt him, he kicked me and moved inside of me while I carried him... he was there. I don't know why some people are so callous and cruel. This is one of the reasons I haven't made a memorial for my son until now. I wasn't prepared to have anyone tell me I shouldn't grieve for a child like mine. Well, my baby was alive, he was killed in a terrible accident and yes, I should grieve for him. He will be remembered and loved as long as I'm alive.
There were so many plans we had made for our child just like other new parents do. So many things to experience with him as he grew up. So many places to take him and so much for him to see and do. He would have been like his father. He would have been a good and loving man. He would have done and accomplished much in his life. But it wasn't to be. God had other plans for my little one.
My little Xavier is up in Heaven with his Grandpapa and his Grandmama and they're loving him until his Daddy and I get there.

♥ღ These are my footprints,
so perfect and so small.
These tiny footprints
never touched the ground at all.
Not one tiny footprint,
for now I have wings.
These tiny footprints
were meant for other things.
You will hear my tiny footprints,
in the patter of the rain.
Gentle drops like angel's tears,
of joy and not from pain.
You will see my tiny footprints,
in each butterflies' lazy dance.
I'll let you know I'm with you,
if you just give me the chance.
You will see my tiny footprints,
In the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind,
and call each one that grieves.
Most of all, these tiny footprints,
are found on Mommy and Daddy's hearts.
'Cause even though I'm gone now,
We'll never truly part. ღ♥

I never got to hear you laugh
you never saw me cry
didn't get a chance to say "Hello"
you never said "Goodbye"
I didn't think that I could feel
so sad, lost and forlorn.
I never knew God chose his Angels
before some of them were born.
Your life was short yet special
I shared it all exclusively
I felt you breathe, I felt you kick.
You were alive inside of me.
Every baby is an Angel
and every angel is divine
God needed one in heaven
He came down and He took mine
And although we are not together
we're not really apart
for you'll always occupy a space
deep within my heart.
Time has begun to ease my pain
It's only some days now I cry.
When I wish I could have said "Hello"
and heard you say "Goodbye" ღ

Little Snowdrop
The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.
The little one we longed for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
For every beating of our hearts
Says that we love you.

Song for a Baby Who Never Saw Earth
Oh, precious life that grew within me,
Product of our dearest love,
How I yearn to hold you closely,
Though you've flown to God above.
I know that you are safe and well now,
Cuddled close in angels' wings,
But I yearned to get to know you
And to share our earthly things.
I know the splendor of God's heaven
Must make human life seem mild,
But, oh! the joy we would have shown you,
Had you lived with us, dear child.
You cannot come back to us, darling,
But some day, we'll come to you,
And in heaven we'll finally meet you;
Until then, we'll love you true.
For you are part of us forever,
Though we never saw you here,
And we love you without measure,
Always you're our baby, dear.

For your Little One
~ RETURN TO SENDER, WITH LOVE ~
God sent a little tiny Soul
To live beneath your heart;
The time came far too soon
That you would have to part.
We know he's extra special
To have stayed so short awhile;
Returned to heaven's gardens,
Beckoned back, as Angels smile.
Choice Children are immortal;
They need not prove their worth.
They come for just their body,
And not endure this earth.
Although we feel love stolen,
God sighs with great relief;
Welcomes back His precious child,
Knowing he will not bear grief.
God grant us all serenity
To deal with broken hearts;
His life did not come here to end,
Now's when it really starts.

When I was into my 32nd week of pregnancy I was in a terrible car wreck, a head on collision. After I was gotten out of the car I was placed on a backboard and put in a neck brace and rushed to the hospital. I was bleeding internally, my back was broken, my neck was injured and I was unconscious and in labor. I was taken immediately into surgery so they could do a C-Section. Sometime later I awoke in recovery and I knew something wasn't right. My child... the child my husband and I wanted so much was no longer inside me. And the man I loved most in this world was standing there beside me with tears streaming down his face. He didn't have to say it... I knew. I tried to be brave and tell him that we could have more and all he could do was shake his head. There would be no children. I was so messed up inside they had to do a complete hysterectomy. I felt as if someone had punched me in the stomach. I couldn't breathe. I was numb. I had just lost the child that I wanted so much and now they were telling me I could never have anymore. I was 23 years old and I felt as if I was dying inside.
While I was in the hospital and I was grieving for my son there was a nurse that had to be the most uncaring person I have ever met. I was crying a few days after and she had the nerve to tell me to "suck it up and grow up and be an adult about it". You see to her, since he never lived and I never held him, he never took a breath or saw the light of day... well, he somehow wasn't "really a person". He wasn't a child I should be grieving over. When she walked out she told the other nurse that "some people will do anything for sympathy". I've never been a violent person, but that day I could have strangled that woman if I could have gotten to her. My husband heard me screaming down the hall that my baby was too real. I heard his little heart beat and felt him, he kicked me and moved inside of me while I carried him... he was there. I don't know why some people are so callous and cruel. This is one of the reasons I haven't made a memorial for my son until now. I wasn't prepared to have anyone tell me I shouldn't grieve for a child like mine. Well, my baby was alive, he was killed in a terrible accident and yes, I should grieve for him. He will be remembered and loved as long as I'm alive.
There were so many plans we had made for our child just like other new parents do. So many things to experience with him as he grew up. So many places to take him and so much for him to see and do. He would have been like his father. He would have been a good and loving man. He would have done and accomplished much in his life. But it wasn't to be. God had other plans for my little one.
My little Xavier is up in Heaven with his Grandpapa and his Grandmama and they're loving him until his Daddy and I get there.

♥ღ These are my footprints,
so perfect and so small.
These tiny footprints
never touched the ground at all.
Not one tiny footprint,
for now I have wings.
These tiny footprints
were meant for other things.
You will hear my tiny footprints,
in the patter of the rain.
Gentle drops like angel's tears,
of joy and not from pain.
You will see my tiny footprints,
in each butterflies' lazy dance.
I'll let you know I'm with you,
if you just give me the chance.
You will see my tiny footprints,
In the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind,
and call each one that grieves.
Most of all, these tiny footprints,
are found on Mommy and Daddy's hearts.
'Cause even though I'm gone now,
We'll never truly part. ღ♥

I never got to hear you laugh
you never saw me cry
didn't get a chance to say "Hello"
you never said "Goodbye"
I didn't think that I could feel
so sad, lost and forlorn.
I never knew God chose his Angels
before some of them were born.
Your life was short yet special
I shared it all exclusively
I felt you breathe, I felt you kick.
You were alive inside of me.
Every baby is an Angel
and every angel is divine
God needed one in heaven
He came down and He took mine
And although we are not together
we're not really apart
for you'll always occupy a space
deep within my heart.
Time has begun to ease my pain
It's only some days now I cry.
When I wish I could have said "Hello"
and heard you say "Goodbye" ღ

Little Snowdrop
The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.
The little one we longed for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
For every beating of our hearts
Says that we love you.

Song for a Baby Who Never Saw Earth
Oh, precious life that grew within me,
Product of our dearest love,
How I yearn to hold you closely,
Though you've flown to God above.
I know that you are safe and well now,
Cuddled close in angels' wings,
But I yearned to get to know you
And to share our earthly things.
I know the splendor of God's heaven
Must make human life seem mild,
But, oh! the joy we would have shown you,
Had you lived with us, dear child.
You cannot come back to us, darling,
But some day, we'll come to you,
And in heaven we'll finally meet you;
Until then, we'll love you true.
For you are part of us forever,
Though we never saw you here,
And we love you without measure,
Always you're our baby, dear.

For your Little One
~ RETURN TO SENDER, WITH LOVE ~
God sent a little tiny Soul
To live beneath your heart;
The time came far too soon
That you would have to part.
We know he's extra special
To have stayed so short awhile;
Returned to heaven's gardens,
Beckoned back, as Angels smile.
Choice Children are immortal;
They need not prove their worth.
They come for just their body,
And not endure this earth.
Although we feel love stolen,
God sighs with great relief;
Welcomes back His precious child,
Knowing he will not bear grief.
God grant us all serenity
To deal with broken hearts;
His life did not come here to end,
Now's when it really starts.
