since my little angel Luke died. I see little babies and wonder what he would have looked like now. I miss what he was and what he could have been. I know many of us here have lost children and many more of us will. I would just like to remind people what treasures and miracles all our kids are. Before Luke I never thought very much about how lucky we were to have all healthy, normal children. I don't take that for granted anymore. Thank you all for being here and all your support through this past year! God Bless, Sue

I have had miscarriages but I have never lost a child I held in my arms. I don't know your pain but just the thought of it is immense and puts me to tears. Please know that you are being thought of and prayed for, you and your angel Luke both. There are no workds to say other than I am so sorry.

Sue...I think you are a very brave person to share this with us.I can not even imagine the pain of losing a child,let alone to go on. I have thought of you so many times the last few monthe and wondered how you and your family were holding up. A lot of people don't know what to say in this type of situation..including myself..but I do want you to know you are in my thoughts.

When our baby was stillborn, I just wanted people to validate him as a life, a person, someone to be remembered. It's been 12 years (this week!) since I last held our little son, but I still miss him. As you will always miss Lucas, Sue.
Our youngest son asked me if I had Abdo's birthday written down anywhere, and I told him it was written in my heart.
"Well, that's what counts the most," he said.
Linda, it's okay if you don't know what to say. Just write our babies' names on your heart, and don't forget them. That way, no matter what words you use, you'll be saying the right thing.

Sue ... I also can't begin to imagine the pain involved in losing a child but my thoughts and prayers are with both you and little Luke.
Adhdtimes4 ... I am so sorry also to read that you too lost your little Abdo... but I think the idea that his name is etched on your heart is just lovely.
I am sending lots of thoughts, prayers and support to both of you. Anne

Thank you everyone, I guess adhdtimes4 is right, I want to validate his life. You guys have all said the right things. The wrong thing is ignore the situation and say nothing. At church yesterday a speaker was encouraging all to "adopt" a child from a third world country. The kids picked out an 8 year old boy from India. We thought this would be a great way to honor and remember Luke. Everyday is a step forword. Sue

:)Sue I´am so sorry for your loss. I think the first year is the worst, but then it´s going to get better. You shouldn´t try to forget him, but , as others have already said, validate and memories him Having an "adopted" godson or - daughter from the third world is really good idea, go for it!! i wish you well, you get my prayers Marja

I am so very sorry for your losses. You are all very strong and brave! I haven't lost a child I held but I too have had a miscarriage... My daughter who is now 21 months was incredibly ill as a baby and has had a number of surgeries.. We have come very very close to losing her... She still has a long road ahead of her.... I want you to know you all are in my thoughts and prayers and those sweet babies~~ Luke and Abdo~~ are in my heart always!! God Bless!! Erin

Ouch! I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you. If I could offer up what I am going through to ease your pain, I would. I couldn't imagine what that would be like to live with, it is one of my worst fears. Take care and may peace be with you in this.

Oh dear Jorgy, I am so sorry for your incredible loss of your little angel. The "adoption" of the little boy is a beautiful tribute to your precious baby.
