How are you mom? I'm Fine!!!
Ask My Mom How She Is…
My Mom, she tells a lot of lies,
She never did before.
But from now until she dies
She’ll tell a whole lot more.
Ask my Mom how she is,
And because she can’t explain,
She will tell a little lie
Because she can’t describe the pain.
Ask my Mom how she is,
She’ll say “I’m alright.”
If that’s the truth then tell me
Why does she cry each night?
Ask my mom how she is
She seems to cope so well.
She didn’t have a choice you see.
Nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mom how she is
“I’m fine, I’m well, I’m coping”
For God’s sake Mom, just tell the truth
Just say your heart is broken.
She’ll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how she is
She’ll lie and say she’s fine.
I am here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don’t listen
Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again.
We’ll smile and I’ll be bold.
I’ll say “You’re lucky to get in here, Mom.
With all the lies you told!”

"UnKnown"
"A butterfly lights besides us like a sunbeam. And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belongs to the world. But then it flies once again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we feel so lucky to have seen it."
As you release this butterfly in honor of me, know that I'm with you and will always be. Hold a hand, say a prayer, close your eyes, and see me there. Alghough you may feel a bit torn apart, please know that I'll be forever in your heart. Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go, I'm right there with you more than you know.

SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROM (SIDS)

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Also known as: Crib death, Cot death.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden unexplained death of an infant under one year of age. It can only be determined after the completion of an autopsy, a death scene investigation & a review of the case history. SIDS remains a leading cause of death in babies from one month to one year of age. In the United States alone, SIDS takes the lives of thousands of babies every year. The most common age range of SIDS victims is between 2 and 4 months. More boys fall victim to SIDS than girls. More deaths occur during cold weather months than warm weather months.
THERE IS NO WAY TO PREDICT OR PREVENT SIDS.
Statistics show that the following may help reduce the risk of SIDS:
(Remember following all risk reduction recommendations will not guarantee your child will not fall victim to SIDS)
Important facts about SIDS:
-
Place your baby on their back to sleep. There are some medical conditions that may make back sleeping unsafe. Please speak with your pediatrician if you are concerned regarding sleep position.
- Make sure your baby is in smoke-free environments. Having a smoke free environment is important for your little one. I think we all know that smoking isn't good for us and that second hand smoke isn't either.
- Do not overheat your baby. Your baby should wear the same amount of clothing that you are comfortable in. (unless you have a condition makes you insensitive to temperature control.). It was long believed that we should bundle our babies. This just isn't true. Remember, your baby can't take his or her sweater off when they get to warm!
-
Breastfeeding is thought to reduce the risk of SIDS.

I looked at you today, Your eyes a light blue shade. I smiled at you in such a way, In Heaven, you your memories will not fade.
If only I could be there today, Your hair the lightest yellow glow. What God has in store for you, In Heaven, you must be this I know!
I cried for you today, Your breath oh so sweet. Gods feeding you now, In Heaven, you are complete.
I went to see you today, Your fingers little and framed. Gods got you now, In Heaven you must remain.
I thought of you today, My sweet Kaitlyn Michelle. God is your keeper now, In Heaven, you are safe and well.

"What makes a Mother "
 I thought of you and closed my eyes And prayed to God today. I asked what makes a mother And I know I heard Him say...
“A mother has a baby. This we know is true. But can you be a mother when your baby`s not with you?
“Yes, you can,” He said with confidence in His voice. “I give many women babies. When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime And others for a day. Some I send to feel your womb But there`s no need to stay.”
I just don`t understand this, God. I want my baby here. He took a breath and cleared His throat And then I saw a tear.
“I wish that I could show you what your child is doing today. If you could see your child smile With other children and say,
“We go to earth to learn our lessons of love and life and fear. My Mommy loved me oh so much I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mom Who had so much love for me. I learned my lesson very quickly. My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much But I visit her each day. When she goes to sleep, On her pillow is where I lay
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek And whisper in her ear, “Mommy, don`t be sad today. I’m your baby and I’m here”
So, you see, my dear sweet one, Your child is okay. Your baby is here in my home And this is where she`ll stay.
She`ll wait for you with me Until your lesson is through. And on the day you come home, She`ll be at the gate waiting there for you
So, now you see what makes a mother. It`s the feeling in your heart. It`s the love you had so much of Right from the very start.
Though some on earth may not see You`re a mother with a daughter. They`ll be up here with me one day And know you`re the best Mother.”
