Sheyenne's Story! 

I was conceived December 28, 2005. Mommy and daddy had been trying for so long to have me and was unable to. Mommy went to see a Dr. and he gave mommy some medicine so that she could get pregnant. It finally happened. Mommy and Daddy were both so happy. They called my Grandparents to tell them and they too were happy. Mommy went to the Dr. and they started us on our routine appointments. Mommy and Daddy had there first picture of me in May 2006 at 22 weeks gestation. The Dr. said that I was very active and mommy agreed. All was well, then I slowed down and did not move to much. Mommy got concerned and called the Dr. The Dr. said to come in and we will do a stress test, that was on June,5 2006. But the Dr. Thought that all was well. Said that my heart rate was good and I was in the lower part of mommy's back. He gave mommy some things to do that should cause me to move and at first I did. But then I again slowed down and on Saturday July 8, 2006 was the last good kick that mommy felt. I still moved some but not much. Mommy did not know that there was a problem and I was having a hard time. She went to her regular Dr's. appointment on July 12, 2006. The Dr. told her that they needed to do another ultrasound. I was 30 weeks old when the Dr. told Mommy and Daddy that I was in trouble. They sent me to Washington University Hospital in Seattle, WA. On the ambulance ride there I died. Daddy was following in the truck. When Mommy and Daddy called my Grandparents they all cried. Both of my Grandma's came to be with my mommy and daddy, three days later July 15, 2006 at 7P.M. mommy gave birth.  I was 2 lbs, 4 oz, and 15 ins. long.  
Little Ole Me. 



Special Angel In Heaven

There is a special Angel in Heaven
that is a part of me.
It is not where I wanted her
but where God wanted her to be.

She was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though she is in Heaven
she isn't very far.

She touched the heart of many
like only an Angel can do.
I would've held her every minute
if the end I only knew.

So I send this special message
to the Heavens up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send her all my love.


HI DADDY   

Hi Daddy, its me,

Your baby girl in the sky.

Won't you tell me Daddy, Why does my mommy cry?

Doesnt she know I'm happy here,

Heaven's a beautiful place Oh, how it hurts me, Daddy

To see tears streaming down Mommy's face.

Daddy, tell her I'm much better here,

Jesus fixed my heart. But when I see mommy crying, It just about tears it apart.

I know it hurt you both, Daddy, When Jesus took me away.

But you and mommy remember, We'll be together again someday.

I can't wait to hug you, I never got the chance before. When its time for you to come, I'll be waiting at heavens door.

Then you'll both understand, Jesus knew where I needed to be.

What a marvelous place to live, Just wait and you both shall see.

Please let my Mommy know, Daddy,

That I heard every word she said. And I remember her softly kissing me As I lay cuddled in her arms.

Just one more thing Daddy, Before I have to go, I love you both very much And just wanted you to know.

I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, "I know."

I said, "I cry alot."
And God said, "That's why I gave you tears."

I said, "Life is so hard."
And God said, "That's why I gave you loved ones."

I said, "But my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."

I said, "It's such a great unbearable loss."
And God said, "I saw mine nailed to the cross."

I said, "But your Son lives."
And God said, "So does yours."

I said, "Where are they now?"
And God said, "My Son is by my side and your
Angel is in my arms....." 


I'll Be There

Daddy please don’t look so sad, momma please don't cry.
'Cause I'm 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 windowpane.
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 tug,
That's me, I'll be there, giving your heart a hug.
So daddy, please don't look so sad, and momma don't you cry,
I'm in the arms of Jesus, and He sings me lullabies.



 

My Child

On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked a lot of whys??
With people all around me
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort,
I couldn't seem to hide,
I thought I might be dreaming
That I'd wake and find you here,
I thought "This can't be happening."
As I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
My heart broke yet again,
I wondered if the pain would end,
But mostly, I wondered when??
It's hard to be without you,
At times the days seem long,
Sometimes I just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
I wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
My precious little one. 






The Child We Had

O precious tiny sweet little one you will always be to me,
so perfect pure and innocent just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you and of your life and all that it would be,
we waited and longed for you to come and join our family.
We never had the chance to play, to laugh to rock to wiggle,
we long to hold you, touch you now and listen to you giggle.
I will always be your mother, he'll always be your dad,
you will always be our child, the child that we had.
But now your gone...but yet your here,
we'll sense you everywhere,
you are our sorrow and our joy there's love in every tear.
Just know our love goes deep and strong,
we'll forget you never.
The child we had, but never had and yet we'll have forever!













The Mention of Her Name
May bring tears to my eyes,
But it never fails to bring
Music to my ears.
If you are really my friend,
Let me hear the beautiful music of her name.
It soothes my broken heart,
And it sings to my soul.
