If I had held you even once Would I have let you go? Or died myself, ounce by ounce Because I missed you so. If I had kissed you even once Would my lips forever seal? Or would I God denounce For the terrible loss I feel. If I had touched your hand dear son Could I truly part with you? Or would we meet again sweet one When this misery was through.

"If I Could Take A Minute" If I could take a minute out of each and every day To hold my child close to my heart and kiss her fears away. If I could take a minute out of each and every week To play with blocks and peek-a-boo, tag or hide and seek. If I could take a minute of any span of time, I'd never waste a second of the pleasures that were mine. If she could crawl upon my knee and lay her sleepy head, upon my shoulder tenderly and dream of gingerbread. I'd spend my time in total bliss and watch my small daughter grow, from babyhood to childhood, knowing all there is to know. If I could stop my aching heart and put my mind asleep, If I could stop the flow of tears that are always on my cheek. I only need a minute, Lord, I know she's safe with you, But there's something real important that I had no time to do. If you could do it for me, Lord, here's a message she should know, tell her that I Love Him, then I'll let her go. ~By D. Szaroleta~ Theresa's Miscarried Angel Jenna Visit Jenna's Page The hand of God paints a sunset From a palette of colors bright. Yet, it’s only seen for a short while Then its glory fades into night. A comet streaks across the sky- God’s hand once more in control. We see it for only a moment But its beauty touches our soul. A baby is born into this world A gift from God’s hand, it’s true. And sometimes, like sunsets and comets This precious life fades from our view. But God ALWAYS sees His Creations- Each one is so special to Him. He often sends Angels amongst us And we fail to recognize them. Since God’s timing is never like ours We, in pain, cannot understand. All we can do in our feeble way Is hold tighter to His hand. And give Him thanks for His angels No matter how SHORT their stay. For like sunsets and beautiful comets, They shine far too brightly to stay. Ann Hopper Dear, Joe One year ago you quietly came into our lives and changed it forever. You are now our special angel watching over us from above. We think of you ever minute of the day and love you more with every minute. The short time we had with you was the most precious in our lives. You touched so many hearts and still continue to do so with every time I share you with someone else new I meet. You were such a strong little boy and made such strong parents out of us. Happy Birthday to you our angel!! We love you so much! Love Mommy, Daddy, and Katy Joe's Mommy Beth still grieve 2 Visit Joe's Page! Member's Birthdays Theresa Carter's Birthday 28th I Was Told To "Turn Loose" I heard. thank goodness not in stillgrieve, but in the world, when a person dies, the loved ones have to learn to "let go." This has bothered me.I think I have come up with an explanation of what I think they mean. The doctors must have left you with a feeling of total despair and helplessness. You have had to accept the finality of it all. In some words, "to turn loose", with the overwhelming grief,tears of pain, the empty and numb feeling. "Turn Loose" does not mean to forget, or to stop loving. We have to "Hope" for what is true in life-the spirit, courage and love. How blessed you were to have touched and felt this miracle! God has not saved you from this pain, but has given you the wonderful heavenly comfort of his arms, a treasure chest of memories. You can see God in the eyes of friends, doctors, family and feel comfort even here in Stillgrieving Groups. For to take the pain, God would have to take the love. The pain will never leave you, nor will your memories, there-that is where we find God, with your angel - who has done, her duty and is given her crown - for eternity.
