Hello. My name is Lin. I come to your beautiful Daughter Abby's site often and just gaze at her beautiful face too. By the looks of the entries a lot of people still come..... I see from some of the past pics of you all that you are a very loving family. Your entries are so honest. I lost a dughter to cancer. Her name is Lori and she went to Heaven in 1981. I agree with you that it doesnt get easier. I wish I could say it did, but as you know when you lose a child it just doesnt. I had to tell you that, if you ever need to email anyone I am here. Althoguh you do not know me, I am here. I am real and Im in cyberspace. I have a web site on our youngest son Jimmy. I did have 3 more kids after Lori passed away........They are Mike Amy and Jimmy. He (Jimmy is handicapped, but I wont go into all that). If you want here's our web site. http://www.caringbridge.org/fl/jimmyjoe/ I would love to stay in touch. I pray for peace all the time because My heart hasnt rested a day since my daughter passed away. Its been since 1981! Can you believe that? I will tell you it did get "different" for me. Just well, different... Well, I will keep this short. You have people who care about you in Florida..Much love to you today. Lin, Jim, Angel Lori, Mike, Amy n Jimmy-Joe.~*

Letter from Heaven:
To my dearest friends and family, some things I would like to say. Though first of all to let you know that I have arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven, here I dwell with the spirit of love. Here there is no more tears of sadness, here is just eternal love. Please do not me unhappy because I am out of sight, but remember I am with you each morning, noon, and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, heaven's warmth covered me and said I welcome you. It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they will be here later on. We need you here so badly, you're part of our great plan. There is so much we have to do to help our mortal man. God gave me a list of things that were wished for me to do, and foremost on that list was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in your bed at night, the day's chores put to flight... God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years, because you are only human they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry for a while it helps relieve the pain, but remember there would be no flowers unless there was some rain. I wish I could explain to you all that God has planned. If I were to tell you, you just wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over, I am closer to you now than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you, and many hills to climb, but together we can do this by taking one day a time. It was always my philosophy and I would like it for you to...that as you give unto the world the world will give unto you. If you can help somebody who is sorrow and in pain, then you can say to me at night, my day was not in vain. So now I am contented that my life was worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile. So if you meet someone who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick them up as on your way to go. And when you're walking down the street and you have me in mind, I am walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it is time for you to go from that body to be free....remember you're not going...you're coming here to me. God Bless you!

Please don't tell me

that it is time to move on

that I have grieved long enough

to let go of what is gone...



Time to wipe my face

and dry my tears

time to let go

and face my fears.



Don't tell me that everything

happens for a reason,

don't tell me things will get better,

time will bring a new season.









Don't tell me to get back to normal

for I see nothing normal when I look around,

for my life as I knew it it is gone

and it can never again be found.



Don't tell me to find a hobby

something to fill the space,

don't tell me that I will find

something or someone to take your place.



My heart will grieve

until the the grieving is through,

When I can begin to face

a life and begin anew





Don't tell me how to grieve

my heart will do it the only way it knows

and how long that will take

only God knows

dear suzanne,
i am losing my daughter nanny. she has followed you for years. i hope to hear from you some time. i know you are suffering. i can only imagine. i cant imagine nanny not being here. it terrifies me

Oh Suzanne,
You are our minds always. I can not even imagine your pain. I pray God will give you peace and comfort. Please know that Abigail is NOT forgotten, she is just not hurting anymore. We miss her terribly, but rest in knowing that we will see her again in a twinkling of an eye.

We love you and will pray for you dear friend.

My heart aches reading your words....I keep hoping that one day I will read that you are finally finding some peace in your heart, knowing that your sweet girl is not suffering. But I find that you still seem to be suffering so....it really does break my heart. I hope that you have sought friends, family, grieving groups, counseling that can help you find some happiness here in this world, until the day that you are with her again. God Bless you both.

Suzanne: Abigal was my first Caringbridge kid that passed away those 4 years ago. My neighbors grandson was just diagnoised with medullablastoma and they started a page. Somehow I got to you and prayed so hard but do rembering the pain I felt as a prayer warrior when she died. I called my best friend crying over this little girl I never met. My how many I have prayed for over these 4 years who have earned their angel wings and now looking over all of us. May you continue to feel our love and support and I pray you can start finding a way to live without Abigal so you are not in so much pain.
In my prayers,

Hi Suzanne and Bert, I know your hearts are heavy and hurting but try to think of the many, many wonderful days you both had with Abby and try not to remember that one horrible day. She lives in many peoples hearts today and is a little girl just to special to ever be forgotten. I, too, remember that horrible day when Abby left us, I know that someday we will all be reunited and be together forever and forever. God is still God today! Abby is very special to Jesus and Abby is very special to me. Much love and many, many hugs, Barb

As I read your words, I remember as though it was yesterday following Abby. I can't imagine your pain has or ever will lessen. I wouldn't know. I think of Abby quite often and I picture the sweet smile you have posted on her page and remember other pictures you have shared of her. I think of all the extras you knew about her that I don't know, so many of us don't know and so many mountains of moments and memories you must be missing and those times since you would have had. When you and your family and Abby come into my mind, I always say a prayer for you, because as a Mom, I can't imagine what you must be going through and just each person in your family. Although I don't leave messages, please know you are not far from my heart and your sweet little Abby is loved and remembered. Her picture is in Katia's little book. She hasn't added pictures in there for quite some time but Abby's picture is one of those in there and that little book is still right by my desk.

Remembering Abby and her last Earthly Valentine's day today. That story will stick in my heart forever, the way Abby was determined to sign all her Valentines herself, despite feeling so crappy and so tired and struggling with fine motor issues from meds, and how she chose 1 kind for the girls and 1 for the boys. And how you wondered if anyone kept theirs.

And how she wanted a family Valentine's day party with a chocolate cake and lemonade in champagne glasses.

And heartbreakingly, how her hair started falling out that night. :(

I think of your sweet angel so very often, but on Valentine's day especially, there will always be a part of my heart set aside for the little brown haired, brown eyed Angel girl who struggled to make her own Valentines.

I never met your Abby, but she touched my heart just the same.

(((hugs)))

suzanne, bert, I couldnt stop thinking of you both last night and abby. I could see her sweet face so vividly with my eyes closed.. I left you alone a bit.. i didnt know if you even read anymore.. you hadnt updated since august or something. But I kept praying for you both always. You Honor abby by keeping her alive through her site.. Its so nice to come see her sweet face.. ive never seen a child with hair like spun gold... like abby has in her picture.. she was so beautiful. I know she is just georgeous in heaven as an angel! THe only peace you can find .. must be in the fact that is she had to get cancer that she isnt suffering anymore.. I cant imagine holidays with out children... so my heart just truly breaks for you all.Please keep updating.. i know people want to know how you are.. it could help you . You would make great foster parents... and maybe can adopt a child if you fall in love with them??? In time maybe you will be ready... No one will replace abby.. ever.... But you still need to live your life and fufill your purpose. Just know I care deeply! Princess abby... there is no angel as beautiful im sure! Mom and dad will be with you in heaven someday soon.. But then you know that dont ya???

Dear Suzanne and Bert,

I was going through some old emails this evening, and I came across a number of them that were from both of you. It breaks my heart to think about all that you have been through. I had more than a few tears as I read through them, thinking about you and thinking about Abby.

So all I can say, or tell you, is that I love you. I know that's not enough, nothing ever can be. But I love you.

I just wanted you to know.

Suzanne, we don't know each other and I'm not sure how it was that I came upon your care page - but, perhaps I was meant to.

I have read so, so many excerpts of near death experiences - children and adults alike who have flat-lined, saw the afterlife, and returned through medical intervention to talk about it. There are literally thousands of experiences described in books and on the web today because of modern medical advances - and all so, so incredibly similar that I truly do believe they have seen the beyond.

That said, these blessed folks would be the first to tell you that your lovely daughter worked out her "walk" in life with God before birth - as do we all. It's all based on how much we want to grow spiritually in our human journey, and these folks would say your daughter is blessed, as are you and your husband - specially chosen just for her and for this faith journey, as difficult as it is.

I think you may find so much about where your beautiful angel is now by reading of these experiences. A great place to start is www.near-death.com At least I really hope that all these lucky folks say is true because it explains the meaning of life, and the point of our suffering.

My prayers are with you that you see glimpses of joy through this storm.

I needed to come here today to write to you...to see your beautiful smile...I need to continue to come here, its a place where I feel peace and comfort, yet sadness and tears... does that make sense?
I miss you so very much..I picture you as a young lady and it makes me so sad as I know that you would of so enjoyed every minute of this life as you did while you were here with us...
There are days when I have prayed and asked for you to watch over Frank (my Step-dad) He has been just like a Father to me and it hurts me to see him battle cancer.. how can he survive with 3 different kinds of cancer.. is that even possible? It scares me so much.. he had surgery to remove the cancer from the lung recently, but there is still the bone and prostrate cancer to worry about..
I wish there was no such thing as cancer...it causes to much heartbreak.

I love you to Heaven & back

Always & Forever ~

Hi Suzanne
i was thinking of you and Abby today. I'm scared about a lot of things that are coming my way. Iwish I could face them with courage like Abigail did. I'm thinking of you and praying for you always. I'm being granted one of my wishes and that is to see Mercy Me in concert on the 13th. Remember that song Homesick that you heard and posted? I will think of you and sing it with them for abby and you when they play it.
I love you

Suzanne and Bert,
Every week I check your little girl's website, look at Abby's pictures, and read the journal and guest book. Having lost my son 4 years ago I have taken solace in reading about your girl. It has given me a stregnth of sorts to see Abby's beautiful smile and the photos of your beautiful family. I continue to exist in the meantime as well, constantly redefining myself and my life. Life takes us where we never plan and where most can never imagine.
Please know that I think of you all often, visit regularly, and pray for your comfort.

Suzanne, I lost all my links and info on our old computer that was hit by lightening, I apologize for not being able to sign... I think of you all the time. and Like I worry about you... I see that you are close to loosing your whole life and berts. I know abigail was your life... But you had a life before her... and she would want you to have a life again.... I know that its the worst thing to ever happen, loosing your precious child... But Loosing yourself... or your marriage or friends until you have nothing? You have to dig deep inside with all you have and get back up again... We love and care about you... so many do. Abigail is in heaven wanting you to fight for life... Adopt another child... do whatever you have to do .. to LIVE again! If you ever need to talk I will listen.... If You dont like what I have to say tell me, Just Fight!!!!! No one will ever forget your abigail! who could???? and you were lucky to be her mommy! you still are abigails Mommy forever!!! she is with Jesus now and it is so unfair she died... But you have to choose to LIVE!!!! Get greif counseling and or medication... but I fear you wont be here long if you dont! Im so so worried about you! PLEASE CHOOSE TO LIVE!

inspiration, stirring
arousing to a particular emotion or action

Yes, Suzanne, that is you. You arouse emotion, yes, sometimes that emotion may make some people keenly aware of your loss. But, I would rather think that you stir up emotions and make people think. You make people realize that life has many unpleasant turns and you have been down one of the worse. . . and yet here you stand (or sit, or lie down) keeping the spirit of Abby alive and well for the world to see. For me, that makes you a powerful inspiration. To be able to go on, live life after all you've been through. Maybe that's what people are thinking when they see you. Wow, she is one strong, amazing woman. I know Abby does. And I know I do.
In my thoughts and prayers,

Suzanne,

When i am with parents who have lost a child I find that they are exactly the opposite of a placeholder. They are my reminder to cherish my time with my children. They are my inspiration to be a better parent and a better person, because none of us can predict the future. They, like yourself, never thought this would be the road life would take. I am honored my friends don't find it to uncomfortable to be with me as my identity is all about my children. That must be very hard. Thank you for sharing some inner thoughts that I hadn't realized my friends must also be enduring.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I can imagine that some people are very uncomfortable with anything out of the ordinary. Like a mother who lost a child. As for me, I'd like to think, if I saw you pushing a cart in the grocery store, that I would stop, give you a big hug, and let you know your sweet Abigail has been on my mind lately. I care about you and Bert!!

I haven't posted for some time now but that certainly does not mean that I'm not thinking of you all. Abby continues to be in my thoughts and prayers - she so impacted my life without ever meeting our ever having met in person.

I'm glad you're reading HP7 to yourselves and Abby - I know she's listening and enjoying the story tremendously!

Take care and update again to let us all know how you're doing.

Mommy Suzanne, I come here weekly to draw strength from Abby as since she became an Angel I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Some days are better than others. I am so glad Abby's site is here. She was my first Caringbridge child to be healed in Heaven and I checked on her several times a day. I think of you and your husband often and pray for the strength for you to get through the next moment. No one was loved more than Abby and she has the greatest family. Keep on keepin' on

Hello, Suzanne!
It's Carol, Abby's piano teacher. I will NEVER EVER forget those lessons at your house. There weren't too many, but they were memorable. Abby was a good student. I can't remember if she was recovering or in remission at the time. I felt so lucky to be with her. I also remember Abby at Kindermusik class complete with a hat every week. She was adorable.

We are moving in a few weeks to Greece, NY. Bruce is retiring July 31st. We've been here 40 years. We decided to downsize and go back north where we grew up- actually we grew up in New England, but we have family in NY. So we are packing (too many things!) and getting rid of "Stuff."

When we get the computer hooked up in our new location, I will post here again so we don't lose touch. I think of you often, Suzanne. Take care.

Love, Carol

My Sweet Beautiful Princess...
HAPPY 12th Birthday!!
It's so hard to believe that you would of turned 12 today. I can only imagine what kind of a special party that you would of wanted... I always thought it was so cute how you put all your thought into planning the perfect party, but not just for your Birthday, there was New Years, Valentines Day, Easter, 4th Of July, Christmas, your parents and Grandparents Birthdays. You loved all the parties..such a caring & sweet young lady you are.
I have a large poster size picture of you and my grandson Jeffrey has been trying to talk me out of it to put in his room. He thinks you need to be around other kids so he wants it in his room in case you need to talk to another kid you can do that. He is such a sweet little guy to, and he thinks about you all time. He promised if I let him take your picture that he would take REALLY could care of you and never hurt you. I told him that the picture of you is very special to me and that for now I really needed it to stay at my house.
Oh Princess...I miss you more than you'll ever know.
It is so wierd how when its gets close to your Birthday or a Holiday, I find myself feeling extemely down, then I realize that there is a definite connection as it is always during a special time for you.
I hope that Chase found you...I bet you both are having so much fun. Give him a hug from me ok...
I LOVE YOU TO HEAVEN AND BACK
Angel Hugs & Butterfly Kisses
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
HAPPY FLAG DAY!!!!

Abigail -- Happy Birthday, sweetheart! Stay close to your mom and dad today. You will always live on in the hearts of all those your story touched, whether they knew you in peson or not!

Holding you close in prayer as Abigail's 12th birthday approaches. We know our grief never really goes away. It simply resurfaces unexpectedly with renewed strength tearing us apart with memories. Ahhh, but it is these same memories that hold us together. Our Lord works in such mysterious ways. How well He blends the bitter cup of sadness with the sweetness of expectant joy! Receive warm, knowing hugs from one who knows both your pain and your comfort.

Dear Suzanne,
I'm not trying to chit-chat on Abigail's web but yesterday I traced those ads down to the following site:
support@umaxlogin.com.If you trace the adipex ad,then go to the bottom of the screen and look for the words abuse report-follow that.I left a e-mail with them, with the request for their webmasters to leave this site alone.Abbys site should remain clean of trash.
Abby should be an inspiration to the children who have leukemia,in regards to mentally and physically keeping herself together.This is what I've read of course and seen in pictures.Pictures tell a lot. Sincerely,

Just want to let you know you can end the adds by having that number code you have to put in when posting a comment that controls spamming.

Hi Suzanne. I too am extremely appalled that there are ads being spammed here. I just wanted to let you know that I never forget about Abigail. I unfortunately only came to learn of Abbie after her passing. At the time I stumbled upon it I was so heart-broken by her story. I have a niece who was born just a few days apart from Abbie. I couldn't imagine losing her, much less having to see what Abbie braved. Since then I have come to meet a lot of caringbridge families and I pray for them all. Abigail's memory will forever be etched in my mind, even when I never met her in life personally. All my best,

Please know that your dear little girl has not been forgotten! I have followed your story for sooooooo many years and I still check in atleast once a week. My heart grieves with you, my face smiles when you share a beautiful memory of Abby, and my prayers continue to be that you will heal from the death of that little angel of yours. Hang in there and if you up the security level of your site, please let me know!!!!

Princess:
It's hard to believe that it has been 3 years...
I miss you so very much...Not a day goes by that I don't think about you..
As I getting ready to start buying Easter stuff for all of the other kids that I Angel, my heart breaks that I can't send anything to you...I still have the BIG Easter Bunny that I bought for you 3 years ago...I will always keep it!!
My Grandson Jeffrey often asks about you and is so sad that you aren't with your Mommy & Daddy...He still wants you to have a house and is sad because you don't live in one now...so much for a 6 year old to understand!
But he does know that you are very loved and even though you are not here with us, you are a very special and we Love & Miss you more than words can say!!

Angel Hugs & Butterfly Kisses to the most Special Princess in the world...
I love you to Heaven & back !!

Please, please take care. You have many friends around the world who love you - and I hope that love, will bring you some comfort today, and always.

~And can it be that in a world so full and busy, the loss of one weak creature makes a void in any heart, so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of eternity can fill it up! -Charles Dickens - Holding you close in prayer on the eve of Abigail's Homegoing anniversary. We know our grief never really goes away. It simply resurfaces unexpectedly with renewed strength tearing us apart with those same memories that hold us together.

I am a day late, struggling with dental pain, but I wanted to let you know again that I thought of Abby again on Valentines Day, and the story of her last Valentines day on Earth. I am searching somehow for a way to honor Abby on Valentines day, I think of her often but especially on Feb. 14. She was (and still is) a beautiful girl and she must have known how much she was loved. It looks like you gave her a wonderful, love filled life. One day you will be together again with her, this time forever.

God Bless you and comfort you.

I feel bad that I haven't been by your page in awhile.Lots going on here.But that does not mean that I don't think of you for I always do.I do stop by your page to see and read the updates just haven't had time to sign your guestbook.



Valentines...... To Heaven

This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind,
Its still filled with love...and blessings inside;
But mine has to be sent on the wings of love...
You see its destination is the Heavens above.

Its not being sent to my parents so dear,
For they are still with me each day of the year;
Its being sent to my child...who left earth so soon,
Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon.

The message is the same as your valentine,
"I love you...my sweet precious child of mine;
My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue,
And its sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you."

"I know you are with me each and every day,
You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say;
For that is one thing that disease cannot do...
...you'll always be apart of me...and me a part of you."

"I know God did not give you the awful disease,
Thank Him for His comfort He gives me...would you please?
I dont know what I would do without His undying love...
Sent to bereaved parents from the Heavens above."

"I know you are in the best of care,
But it's so hard for us left on earth to bear;
Could you put in a request from us left behind...
For God to send the knowledge..so a cure we can find."

"So that no other family has to go through this pain,
Our lives without you will never be the same;
When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night...
And see you shining down your big bright light."

Hey Suzanne
I know as the days draw closer to March 12 - it gets harder and harder = please know you are in our thoughts and Abby is never forgotten. I know its hard seeing the kids get bigger especially Madison. I was looking thru her school binder this week and came across a paper they must be working on in class - the subject was "If I found $100.00" I read it and wept - I took it out and copied it without Madison knowing and thought I would post it on here for you to read so you know to that Abby is not forgotten.

"If I found $100 I would give it to cancer victims because they might find a cure for cancer. I know what it is like to lose someone to cancer and more people will be happy because they dont have cancer.
First if I gave a $100 to cancer victims they can buy things for everyone involved. The doctors can buy medicine and they can also buy equipment to find a cure, and families can buy blankets and food because they have no money because it was probably spent on surgery.
Second, I know what it is like to lose someone from cancer. It is very sad when you lose someone. The funeral is depressing. The person that I lost was Abby Ortiz. She died in second grade on March 12, 2004. I dont want that to happen to other people.
A lot of people will be happy because they dont have cancer which makes them happy so they will not die. Cancer victims can also swim and play with friends because they are not stuck in the hospital. Also, cancer victims will not be sad because they do not feel the pain.
In Conclusion if I found $100 I would give it to cancer victims. So that they can buy things for everyone involved with cancer. Also I know what it is like to lose someone from cancer and more people will be happy because they dont have cancer" by Madison Martin

Cuddled in Heaven

We had so little time to share,
Too soon, I had to leave.
I know how much you love me,
I know how much you grieve.

I know how sharp your pain is,
I feel the aching in your hearts.
My life so quickly ended
Before it barely had a start.

I remember how you held me,
And kissed my face and hands,
You cuddled me so gently;
But, God had other plans.

I was your perfect angel,
From God you knew I came,
Suddenly he called me home again,
And now God holds my hand.

I know you’ll always miss me,
I understand your pain is hard to bear.
Just remember that I’m in heaven
And we’ll see each other there.

So smile when you think of me
and wipe away all of your tears
I’m cuddled now in heaven
By our family members here.

I’m waiting here in heaven,
And on the day we meet again.
I’ll be the first to smile and greet you,
When God calls you home to him.

Thinking of you ~

Hi Sweet Princess:
How are you sweetie?? I miss you so very much...As March gets near I feel the sadness so much more.. there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you , but for some stinking reason the sadness is so intense as March approaches us...It's so unfair...You should be here on this earth with your parents and all who love you so very much...
Will you please watch over a very special young man... Chase, he has had such a tough go of this horrible cancer and he is on his second battle with it and needs a TON of prayers, the Doctors aren't very hopeful this time.

I also need you to watch over Mike's Cousins son who passed away last night at the age of 17, Oscar needs some guidance and I know you will show him the way...

I love you to Heaven and back...

Yes, we agree that they were both here on earth not long enough, but the gifts they gave us are priceless. The love we gave them and the love they returned is forever in our hearts. We are forever blessed. We know how difficult it is to live Day to Day, but we do it with their strength in our lives.

Suzanne and Bert. I found this BEAUTIFUL song by Mark Harris that I thought you would like. If you want, we can upload it onto my server and put it on Abby's page:

Wish You Were Here - Mark Harris Added by Site Admin on 2004-01-21 19:40:24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse 1
I wanted to tell you how closely Ive kept
The memories of you in my heart
And all of the lifetimes that we've had to share
Live even though we're apart

But dont cry for me
'Cause I'm finally free

Chorus:
To run with the angles
On streets made of gold
To listen to stories of saints new and old
To worship our Maker
That's where I'll be
When you finally find me

Verse 2
No dont you be weary cause waiting for you
Are wonders that you've never known
Just hold on to Jesus, reach out for His hands
And one day they'll welcome you home

And that's when you'll be
Finally Free
Finally Free

(Chorus)

I wish you we're here 2x

Bridge
And all of the dreams that you treasure
Will soon come together
And that's when your sorrow will tomorrow
And you will rise again

(Chorus)

I wish you were here
I wish you were here

The love from her family is evident in each picture. And I know you were

~ To my mother ~

I see you each time you shed a tear,

I catch it and kiss you, I hope that you know that I'm near.

This place is so beautiful, There's so much to see!

I know that someday you'll be here with me.

The angels were singing when I arrived!

Jesus was there with His arms open wide!

The snow and the rain are just my confetti.

I know you'll be coming and I want to be ready.

When you feel the wind, it's me walking by.

I can run and skip now, I can even fly!

When the blossoms and leaves fall into your hair,

It's me planting kisses, yes, I put them there!

The birds are singing to keep you company,

They're especially for you with love from me.

I know that you miss me and feel so alone,

Until the great day when you finally come home

I hope that your Christmas was a time of peace, and I certainly wish that for you both in the New Year. Your pictures of Abby are so beautiful; she's such a happy little girl, and alway surrounded by friends and family that love her. I hope it's some comfort for you both to know that she touched so many people including me, who've never had the privilege to meet her in person.

The Stockings Were Hung:

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
But one special stocking was no longer there
All that was left were the memories bittersweet
Of a life that had ended so incomplete

The family had pictures all gathered around
That sometimes made all of them tear up and frown
For the sorrow and sadness without their sweet child
Made it difficult for the whole family to smile

Although there were times when they felt him(her) so close
As if they were feeling some kind of a ghost
The signs that were sent were so special and clear
That they felt that he(she) truly was so very near

They often would talk to him(her) as if he(she) was there
Sometimes they would smile but also shed tears
For each Christmas that came brought with it such pain
That they felt in their hearts would always remain

Then one special moment on one special day
He(She) came to them and simply took them away
To fly through the heavens and up to the stars
A beautiful place that was not very far

He(She) showed them where they would all join once again
A place full of beauty no sorrow or pain
A place where he(she) is happy with heavenly friends
A place where we too will also ascend

After their amazing visit was through
This family was no longer terribly blue
For they finally realized one day not to far
They would all be together on a heavenly star

Abby, Thinking about you today as I do on most days. I think of you when I see a fariy. I think of you when I see a butterfly. I think of you when I see a certain doll. I think of you when I need strength. I think of you when I see a little girl who is funny, who has an endearing laugh and is inquisitive. I think of you when I see three little girls together playing. I think of you when I walk in Caroline's room because you're pictures and letters are placed in several meaningful places. You are a strong bright star and you will forever shine in my heart.

Dear Mommy & Daddy,

Do you know how thankful I am that I am your daughter?

Do you know I always felt loved and cared for?

Do you know I know you did everything possible for me?

Do you know how wonderful you made my life?

Do you know how much I love to see smiles?

Do you know how sad it makes me to see you missing me so much all the time?

I am still with you. I have not really left you.

I miss being there with you too but I was chosen to help the world from up here. I am sorry I had to leave your world for another. Now I get the honor of being your guardian angel and one day when the time is right, we will be together again. Until that day, please make the most of every day and send smiles my way!

Thank you for being my mommy and daddy, I love you forever!

The Gap

The gap between those who have lost children and those who have not is profoundly difficult to bridge. No one, whose children are well and intact can be expected to understand what parents who have lost children have absorbed and what they bear. Our children come to us through every blade of grass, every crack in the sidewalk, every bowl of breakfast cereal. We seek contact with their atoms, their hairbrush, their toothbrush, their clothing. We reach for what was integrally woven into the fabric of our lives, now torn and shredded.
A black hole has been blown through our souls and, indeed, it often does not allow the light to escape. It is a difficult place. For us to enter there is to be cut deeply, and torn anew, each time we go there, by the jagged edges of our loss. Yet we return, again and again, for that is where our children now reside. This will be so for years to come and it will change us profoundly. At some point in the distant future, the edges of that hole will have tempered and softened but the empty space will remain - a life sentence.
Our friends will change through this. There is no avoiding it. We grieve for our children, in part, through talking about them and our feelings for having lost them. Some go there with us, others cannot and through their denial and a further measure, however unwittingly, to an already heavy burden. Assuming that we may be feeling "better" six months later is simply "to not get it." The excruciating and isolating reality that bereaved parents feel is hermetically sealed from the nature of any other human experience. Thus it is a trap - those whose compassion and insight we most need are those for whom we abhor the experience that would allow them that sensitivity and capacity. And yet, somehow there are those, each in their own fashion, who have found a way to reach us and stay, to our comfort. They have understood, again each in their own way, that our children remain our children through our memory of them. Their memory is sustained through speaking about them and our feelings about their death. Deny this and you deny their life. Deny their life and you no longer have a place in ours.
We recognize that we have moved to an emotional place where it is often very difficult to reach us. Our attempts to be normal are painful and the day to day carries a silent, screaming anguish that accompanies us, sometimes from moment to moment. Were we to give it its own voice we fear we would become truly unreachable, and so we remain "strong" for a host of reasons even as the strength saps our energy and drains our will. Were we to act out our true feelings we would be impossible to be with. We resent having to act normal, yet we dare not do otherwise. People who understand this dynamic are our gold standard. Working our way through this over the years will change us as does every experience - and extreme experience changes one extremely. We know we will have recovered when, as we have read, it is no longer so painful to be normal. We do not know who we will be at that point or who will still be with us.
We have read that the gap is so difficult that, often, bereaved parents must attempt to reach out to friends and relatives or risk losing them. This is our attempt. For those untarnished by such events, who wish to know in some way what they, thankfully, do not know, read this. It may provide a window that is helpful for both sides of the gap.

You were a great mom to a great little girl! we will never forget your beautiful abbey. You have survived the worse thing that could happen to a parent. You help others go on, by you going on. I know its not fair and really stinks. If i could bring back abbey to you. I would in a heartbeat! Your pain makes me sad! I pray God gives you some peace in the fact abbey isnt suffering anymore. ( But why did she even have to get cancer?? ) I know thats what your thinking... I would too. I dont know. Life is just so unfair. Your friends and Gods grace will carry you through each day until your with abbey again! DOnt give up!

I Remember




I remember the day I gave birth to you
I remember the sweetness of a child so new

I remember our love and “special” talk
I remember your smile, your scent, your walk

I remember the days of watching you grow
I remember when I taught you to tie a bow

I remember all of the things that you held dear
Yes I remember those things so very clear

I try to remember why I had to set you free
But this one thing is so hard for me

Because deep within a Mother’s heart
Is a piece of her child with which she can’t part

I love you, I miss you, and I promise you this
Some day my sweet child we’ll again share a kiss.

Sorry I missed you yesterday, I meant to call you back but I got busy and didn't get back home until late...
I hope you had a good Birthday...I know that you are struggling and I am so sorry... I wish I could take away your hurt and make you smile again...
The flu bug has been going aroud here , I had it for about 3 days last week, then felt kinda cruddy before that to.. now my daughter-in-law has it...hopefully little Carter won't get it...
I am in the process of trying to get my gift shop set up...I rented a store in town until the building that we bought is done ( we are remodeling it)
After I get up & running, I am going to have a
"CARINGBRIDGE CORNER" That will feature all my little kids that I Angel.. I will have a each of the kids featured in the month of their Birthdays and I will be giving a portion of my sales for the day of their Birthday to Caringbridge or a charity of the parents choice in Memory or in Honor of their child.

His 19th bday is this month and my sister is devastated and still in denial and guilt. The house is now deafeningly quiet all the time & she has no idea what to do with herself anymore. I dont know how you've been coping as long as you have.

HOPE

If you can look at the sunset and smile,
then you still have hope.

If you can find beauty in the color of a small flower,
then you still have hope.

If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly,
then you still have hope.

If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare,
then you still have hope.

If you give people the benefit of a doubt,
then you still have hope.

If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that have touched your life,
then you still have hope.

If you can look to the past and smile,
then you still have hope.

Hope puts a smile on your face when the heart cannot manage. Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see. Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused of the direction. Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished and nurtured, and something that will refresh us in return. And it can be found ineach of us, and it can bring light into the darkest of places. Hope is a powerful thing. Never lose hope.

Thinking of you both~
Love,
Sheryl

Dear Susanne & Bert.. I cannot pretend to believe that your loss of Abbey , she is such a beautiful person, can ever heal...I had a loss, no loss is different. What I want you to know is it is O.K. to feel bad , It is O. k to have some thoughts of not wanting folks to conceal your pain for you ,for you will always have this pain, but i do know that you can in someway help others who will have to cross this path, they will need your strength, they will need your faith, let our loved ones memory help move us forward in life, as we would have wanted our children to have done the same.Although they are not here, they are extentions of us.

Hi Suzanne --

It's been a long time since I've posted to this site but I wanted you to know that your dear, sweet Abby does live on in the hearts of so many of us. She was a beautiful child that impacted so many of us in such positive ways. I miss her so much and I never had the privilege of meeting her in person - somehow we met through other ways.

It has been a difficult journey for you, I know. I wish there were words that I could offer to alleviate the pain - to make the journey easier. But that's not really necessary, you know? I'm sure there are times when you can feel the love and support from all of Abby's allies - sending our loving energy to you. As you move forward into your future, you will always have that beautiful little girl with you - loving you even more every day. Isn't it nice that she has the strength to send you signs of that love?

I wish for you the very best and know that you will find a way to celebrate the life and love of Abby.

Suzanne, Thanks for the update, I see time hasnt changed anything but made the pain and loss seem endless. abby is with you , I hope you always feel her. If you passed away would you want abby to stop living and mourn like this for you??? abby needs you to find some happiness until its your time to be with her again. Not having other children to tend to and get involved with daily doesnt help at all. Can you volunteer ?? I think counseling would help . I hate to see you wither away.. I think of you everyday. SOmething told me to come here tonight. You have to go on for bert! and for abbys memory. You must! were here to help anyway we can! You deserve to be happy again! Its o,.k to be happy again!

Hi, my name is Cheryl & I just happened across your web site.I can only imagine the pain you must be feeling.I don't think anything can truly comfort us when we lose a precious child, except mabey knowing that we will see her again and she is not gone from us for very long.My heart tells me that she is still with you, watching over you and praying for you.She is in the arms of Jesus, the safest place there is.I have lived with the fear of losing my own precious daughter, and I will pray that the Lord gives you some peace and a healing in your hearts.God bless you.

Hi Bert and Suzanne! I know I haven't written here in quite awhile, but I think about you all the time!!!! Things are going okay. The kids have started school and I'm hoping that adds some stability. It's been a rough go at times for the kids to deal with Rob being pulled off shore duty only to be in Iraq. This definitely wasn't what we expected he'd be doing after 28 years in the Navy, but we'll keep plugging along. Anyway, I hope things are going okay. Miss you all! Love & hugs.

I hate it when I am actually alone in this house and have time to think..I know she is watching over all of us, but it is still so hard to believe that she is gone...It really hit me again at our Relay for Life walk....It is always so hard to do the Relay, especially when I start thinking about Abby...But it's for such a good cause that I keep doing it every year...
I will e-mail you with pictures of the Luminary bags that Jerry & Millie bought for Abby and the the one that I did, actually I bought quite a few in Memory of her, but took a picture of one of them..
Gonna press on so I can get started with bookwork for Mike..
I love you both~
Have a good evening
Hugs~
Sheryl

Some Little Girls come into our lives and quickly go.
Some Little Girls stay for awhile,
and give us a deeper understanding
of what is truly important in this life.
They touch our souls.
We gain strength from the footprints
they have left on our hearts,
and we will never ever be the same.

ONE SPECIAL LITTLE GIRL - Abigail Anne Rose Ortiz

Always LOVED
Forever MISSED
NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN

I LOVE YOU PRINCESSS!!
Always & Forever~
Your Angel Sheryl

Dear Ortiz Family,
As always, Abby is never far from my mind. She was such a special child. I'm not sure if you are already aware of this but I was so amazed, I wanted to write you. I was watching the news the other day and what I heard made my heart pound. Sesame Street is introducing a new character. From the NY Daily, "Enter Abby Cadabby, a spirited 3-year-old "fairy-in-training" who has just moved with her family to the Street. She has a magic wand and speaks in rhymes. Her catch phrase is "That's so magic," and since she's just learning to fly, she occasionally will accidentally levitate when she gets excited."
Not only is she a fairy, but an Abby! Incredible!

I was posting this picture of Cassie's site, and thought I would swing by your page to say "hello" and to see the photo of Abby smiling. I hadn't seen the one of her as a baby until now, she was cute then too :)

Lots of love

Lullaby
"Goodnight, my angel, time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day.
I think I know what you've been asking me;
I think you know what I've been trying to say.
I promised I would never leave you,
And you should always know, wherever you may go,
No matter where you are, I will never be far away.
Goodnight, my angel, now it's time to sleep,
And still so many things I want to say.
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay?
And like a boat out on the ocean, I'm rocking you to sleep.
The water's dark, and deep inside this ancient heart,
You'll always be a part of me.
Goodnight, my angel, now it's time to dream,
And dream how wonderful your life will be.
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby,
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me.
Someday we'll all be gone, but lullabies go on and on . . .
They never die.
That's how you and I will be."

- Billy Joel

Love

Who You'd Be Today
by Kenny Chesney
album: The Road and the Radio [BNA] (2005)
Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughin' in the rain
Still can't believe you're gone.

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I been through
Just knowin' no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder
Who you'd be today.

Would you see the world, would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Somedays the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy.

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I been through
Just knowin' no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder
Who you'd be today.

Today, today, today
Today, today, today.

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know I'll see you again some day
Someday, someday...

Please let Mommy know I would gladly host a song for your page if she finds one that she waants to use.
Love always
Nancy

For Daddy:

"Don't cry for Me Daddy"

Don't cry for me Daddy,
I'm right here.
Although you can't see me
I see your tears.
I visit you often,
I go to work with you each day,
And when it's time for you
to close your eyes ,
On your pillow is where I lay.
I hold your hand &
stroke your hair,
And whisper in your ear.
If you're sad today Daddy,
Remember, I am here.
God took me home.
This we know is true.
But you'll always be My Daddy
Even though I'm not with you.
We will never be apart,
For everytime you think of me,
Please know I'm in your Heart..........

Suzanne, Burt, All i think of lately is you all, and of course abigail! I see her sweet face in that pink sweater in my mind all the time. Your entry was a welcomed site but it made me cry. I know there is nothing anyone can say to console you. Im so so sorry.It seems like you died with abigail, I hope your in counseling abby would want you to go on. and not give up. Your still here for a reason. I pray you and Burt can someday adopt or foster anoter child , It will never replace abigail. No one could. but it would help you to love and care for another child. It would give you a reason to go on. Im here if you ever want to talk. We all think the world of you and your beautiful abigail you share with all of us. she was a beautiful baby... Im sorry she isnt here with you. Im so sorry! Hugs!

I know its late but:


I heard you crying yesterday
And felt your heart-sent love
So I'm sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.

Your wondering if I'll celebrate
My birthday (way up Here)
I know your missing me today
I feel your essence near.

God planned a special day for me
He told me wth a wink
He'd ordered me a special cake
(It's Angel food, I think.)

I'm getting lots of hugs from God
He's really good at that
And every time that I walk by
He gives my head a pat.

Balloons will fill the streets for me
They float up through the clouds
And we have lots of clowns up here
They make us laugh out loud.

There is a birthday carousel
Jeweled horses ride the wind
With music playing oh so sweet...
The magic never ends.

I've made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing
We ride our bikes and play jump rope
And sleep in Angels' wings.

We'll have our cake and ice cream
And open gifts.. surprise!
But we don't blow out our candles here
Instead they light the skies.

For Mommy and Daddy
Find Your Wings by Mark Harris

It’s only for a moment you were mine to hold
The plans that Heaven has for you will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I pray for all that you might do
But most of all I want to know you’re walking in the truth
And if I never told you I want you to know
That as I watch you grow

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I’m here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings

May passion be the wind that leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong, guide you on your way
May there be many moments that make your life so sweet and
Oh, but more than memories

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I’m here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings

It’s not living
If you don’t reach for the sky
I’ll have tears as you take off
But I’ll cheer as you fly

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I’m here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings

Hi Suzanne and Bert,

I wanted you to know that I was thinking of your Abigail today on her birthday. Suzanne, I am so very sorry that time isn't taking away some of what must be unbearable hurt. It's one of life's terrible ironies that those who extend their hearts the most, are the ones who get hurt the deepest. I wish you a few more laughs and a few less tears with each new day, the way I'm sure your Abby would have wanted you to feel.

Bless you and bless your Angel,

Happy Birthday in heaven Abigail!! I hope Amanda took you somewhere to celebrate. Sure wish you could be here celebrating with your mom and dad. Peace be with you.

Bert and Suzanne, I think of you and Abigail daily. Her snowman picture remains on my refridgerator. So, everytime I go into the kitchen, I remember Abigail and envision her sweet smile and happy go lucky attitude. She was so precious and I know how much your hearts ache for her. How could you not given she was such an incredible girl and a delight to be around... I'm always thinking of you two hoping and praying for less painful days, but knowing that unimaginable sadness continues to reign. Suzanne, give me a call sometime and we can go to lunch or something. It's been too long since we did that. Take care.

My stepson, Danny, died of ALL in 2002 at the age of 14. As the days of the calendar go by each year, the most difficult day for me is his birthday. So, today my thoughts and prayers are with the two of you and all those who knew your lovely daughter and continue to love her to this day. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm posting this so that you know that people around the country and probably around the world, people you've never seen or spoken to, are sharing your loss with you in a deeply personal way. We are united in a community that no one wanted to join and that no one can live without.

In Loving Memory of You ©
by Debbie Heydrick

Quietly I'm remembering you
in the silence of my heart.
Each thought of you, a treasure
while we are now apart.

At times I'm filled with longing;
Your face I'd love to see,
To feel your warmth, to hear your voice,
to have you here with me.

But God has a plan; He created you
and numbered all your days.
May he hold you in His loving arms
and surround me with His grace.

With the hope of reunion in Heaven one day,
I entrust you in His care.
Cherished memories of you live on in my heart.
Your life is a gift we share.


To my Sweet Princess ~
Yesterday I picked up my niece Joanna who is 10, she stays with me for a week every summer, we went shopping last night and as we were looking at clothes, I was amazed at how much her taste has changed in the last year and how much she has changed also. I started thinking about you and wondered what would you be like today? Would you look at your mom with a shocked look while shopping for clothes and say "Ummm..I am not really into that anymore" As my niece did to me last me? Would you still let me call you my Princess or would you have outgrown that? Would you like boys and get all giddy when you talked about them? So many questions yet we will never know the answers to them.
I didn't get much sleep last night, I layed awake & thought of you and when I finally got to sleep I dreamt of you. I woke this morning at 4:00 with such an uneasy feeling and as I layed in bed the tears would not stop coming... I miss you so very much and I can not even beging to imagine how your Daddy & Mommy feel..You are loved so very much and you always will be!!
HAPPY 11th Birthday!! I so wish you were here to celebrate with all who love you!
I LOVE YOU TO HEAVEN & BACK!!
Angel Hugs & Butterfly Kisses
XOXOXOXOXOXO
ALWAYS & FOREVER your Angel Sheryl

BERT & SUZANNE ~
I know how hard this day is going to be for you and I am so sorry...
As promised to you both, Abigail will NEVER be forgotten..
She is beautiful and we all miss her so very much!
I love you both!!

I hope your memories and thoughts of Abigail are of some comfort to you on her 11th birthday. I join with many others who are thinking of her today -- and of her parents -- as we try to figure out an answer for why this little girl is not here with her family to celebrate this day. My husband died two months ago and this is the prevailing question that my son asks -- Why?
I tell him -- Well, I have the medical explanation for Why...but he wants some other answer that makes sense. And I don't think I have that answer.
But I do have, as always, special thoughts in my heart for Abigail, and I wish I could have known her.
Best wishes.

As a woman could never describe the birth of her child with words, so she cannot ever describe their death. Only someone who has been there could understand and even then it still remains wordless. Of all the sorrows known to us, this is the only one I am aware of that grows deeper and more intense with time and is ever ready to spring up keener, sharper at every corner. Praise God who has touched our sorrow with hope!! May His comforting presence, His unexplicable peace, His blessed, blessed hope and His strengthening joy be with you and in you in a special way as you celebrate the remembrance of Abby's birth and precious life with you this side of Heaven.

In His Love,

I left a message for you on Sunday morning, but it is no longer here. I ran the following poem past Nancy and I hope it gives you a little comfort.

God’s Lent Child


"I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine" God said,
"For you to love the while she lives and mourn for when she's dead
"It may be six or seven years, or forty two or three,
"But will you, till I call her home, take care of her for me?


"She'll bring her charms to gladden you and, should her stay be brief,
"You'll always have her memories as a solace in your grief
"I cannot promise she will stay, since all from Earth return,
"But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn


"I've looked this whole world over in my search for teachers true
"And from the folk that crowd Life's lane, I have chosen you
"Now will you give her all your love and not think the labour vain
"Nor hate me when I take this lent child home again?"


God fancied that He heard them say - "Dear God, Thy Will be done
For all the joys this child will bring, the risk of grief we'll run
We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may
And for the happiness we've ever known, we'll ever grateful stay

But should the Angels call her much sooner than we'd planned
We will brave the bitter grief that comes - and try to understand"

Just wanted you to know that I am praying for you. I know Abigail's birthday is coming up and it must be a very tough time for you. I came to know another Abigail who is in heaven too now. She was only 12 days younger than my Abigail with the same cancer. It makes it so hard. Your daughter was beautiful and will forever be missed, but her memories will always be with you. God bless you. -Malissia (mom to Abigail, www.caringbridge.org/nc/abigail)

Hello Suzanne and Bert,

Even though we moved from Chesapeake last June, we still think of you and Abby often. Everytime Maggie sees a butterfly she comments that it's Abby. Abby made a profound impact on Maggie and I know she will never forget her. Maggie donated 12 inches of her hair this past fall in memory of Abby and I've only got about an inch to go! We're praying for you!!!

Thanks for leaving a note on Abigail's site.

Suzanne and Bert,
I was given Abigail's name to wear on my race day bracelet by a co-worker, Carol Kotowski, as I'm training to walk in the Vancouver marathon in four weeks as part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma's Society Team in Training. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and hope one day there will be a cure. It is through the generosity of special donors such as Carol and the many others who have helped raise funds that will further the Society's mission to finding a cure. Keep the faith!

Hi Suzanne and Bert,
Been thinking of you and Angel Abigail. I came across this and I wanted to share it with you.

We can't know why
the lily has so brief a time to bloom
in the warmth of Sunlight's kiss upon it's face.

Before it folds its fragrance in
and bids the world good-night
to rest its beauty on a gentler place.

But we can know that nothing
that is loved is ever lost,
and no one who has ever touched a heart
can really pass away,
because some beauty lingers on
in each memory of which they've been a part.

Dear Bert and Suzanne,
Thinking of you today and always, and hoping today is filled with the memories of your precious angel Abby as she watches you from up above.
I came across this quote the other day, and it made me think of sweet Abby almost instantly.
"It's not the length of the life, it's the depth of the life."
Abby may have been here for only a few short years, but the amount of living she did and the number of people she inspired still continues to live on and grow.
Peace be with you.

Then I realized that you already know how special Abigail and the both of you are to everyone because your site has been visited over 399479 times!! (That's amazing!) It also means that you are always in our hearts and our thoughts. For the short time she was here on earth, your sweet Abigail touched our souls! Because she touched us, we in turn, try to touch yours so that you know you're not alone and try to make your burden easier to carry. You are very special to me and a whole lot of people in this country, never doubt that. With love, prayers and hugs,

I think of you both and Angel Abigail each day, but especially today on her 2nd Angel anniversary. Abigail was pure sunshine. I remember her bright dancing eyes, beautiful brown hair, and huggable, lovable nature. She was so cute with her stuffed dogs...naming each one and talking about them. It brings a smile to my face remembering Abigail and all that she was.

Abigail must have arranged for this beautiful spring like day here in southeast Virginia. God Bless you both today and always.

Thinking of your family and praying for you this weekend. May God Bless you.

The Dragonfly


Once, in a little pond, in the muddy water under the lily pads,
there lived a little water beetle in a community of water
beetles. They lived a simple and comfortable life in the pond
with few disturbances and interruptions.

Once in a while, sadness would come to the community when one of
their fellow beetles would climb the stem of a lily pad and
would never be seen again. They knew when this happened; their
friend was dead, gone forever.

Then, one day, one little water beetle felt an irresistible urge
to climb up that stem. However, he was determined that he would
not leave forever. He would come back and tell his friends what
he had found at the top.

When he reached the top and climbed out of the water onto the
surface of the lily pad, he was so tired, and the sun felt so
warm, that he decided he must take a nap. As he slept, his body
changed and when he woke up, he had turned into a beautiful
blue-tailed dragonfly with broad wings and a slender body
designed for flying.

So, fly he did! And, as he soared he saw the beauty of a whole
new world and a far superior way of life to what he had never
known existed.

Then he remembered his beetle friends and how they were thinking
by now he was dead. He wanted to go back to tell them, and
explain to them that he was now more alive than he had ever been
before. His life had been fulfilled rather than ended.

But, his new body would not go down into the water. He could
not get back to tell his friends the good news. Then he
understood that their time would come, when they, too, would
know what he now knew. So, he raised his wings and flew off
into his joyous new life!

Suzanne and Bert,
I wanted to let you know I'm thinking of Abby today and I'm wishing her a very Happy Valentine's Day. Being with Jesus, we know she is certainly surrounded by so much love! And I hope the both of you are surrounded and comforted by the Lord's love.

I have to agree with the other recent guestbook visitors who noted that Abby is certainly not forgotten. I think of her often, and of you as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you, as always.

I hope that today finds you both well. I come by the site everyday. I too, remember the story you told of Abby and her Valentines. I hope that the children kept them and that at sometime in their lives, they know how much love went into making them. Remember that you are loved. We pray for you daily. Happy Valentine's Day, Abby. xoxo

I thought of Abby today and how you wrote last eyar about how she made all those Valentines for the kids in her class. How she picked out one kind for the girls and another for the boys. And how hard it was for her. And how you wondered if anyone kept theirs.

I don't know if they did or not, but I remember the story. I think I will always connect Valentines day to your Abby now.

She isn't forgotten.

Happy Valentines Day Abby.

I know how it feels to feel like you are alone. To feel cheated, even though we know our children are in a better place, but as human beings we cannot fathom that being anywhere but here. God Bless You and Remember, you will be together again when it is YOUR time.

Valentines..To Heaven

This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind;
It's still filled with love and blessings inside;
But mine has to be sent on the wings of love..
You see, its destination is the Heavens above.

It's not being sent to my parents so dear
For they are still with me each day of the year.
It's being sent to my child who left earth too soon
Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon.

The message is the same as your valentine
"I love you my sweet precious child of mine."
My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue
And it's sent with hugs and kisses from me to you.

I know you are with me each and every day
You listen as I talk to you and hear what I say
For that is one thing that disease cannot do
You'll always be apart of me and me apart of you.

I know God did not give you the awful disease
Thank Him for His comfort He gives me, would you please
I don't know what I would do without His undying love
Sent to bereaved parents from the Heavens above.

I know you are in the best of care
But it's so hard for us left on earth to bear
Could you put in a request from us left behind
For God to send the knowledge, so a cure we can find.

So that no other family has to go through this pain
Our lives without you will never be the same
When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night
And see you shining down your big bright light.

Happy Valentines Day Sunshine..I miss you so much
I know you know how many lives you have touched
You'll always be mine..I love you will all my heart
I know we'll be together again and then we'll never part.

So you see the meaning is still the same
The method of delivery is the only change
Mine must be sent by a little white dove
On the wings of Love.


Bert & Suzanne:
I found this on another site and I thought of you both and Abigail...
Lots of Love to you both!!
Always & Forever~

He leadeth me ...
In green pastures? No, not always,
Sometimes He who knoweth best
In kindness leadeth me in weary ways
Where heavy shadows be;
Out of the sunshine warm and soft and bright,
Out of the sunshine into the darkest night.
I oft would yield to sorrow and to fright
Only for this: I know He hold my hand.
So whether led in green or desert land,
I trust, although I cannot understand.
He leadeth me...
Beside still waters? No, not always.
Oft times heavy tempests round me blow,
And o're my soul the waters and billows go,
But when the storm beats wildest , and I cry
Aloud for help..the Master standest by
And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I."
Above the tempest wild I hear Him say,
"Beyond the darkness lies the perfect day...
In every path of thine, I lead the way."
So whether on the hilltops high and fair
I dwell, or in the sunless valley where
The shadows lie..What matters? He is there,
And more than this, wher're the pathway leads,
He gives to me no helpless broken reed
But His own hand, sufficient for my need.
So where He leads me I shall safely go...
And in the blest hereafter I shall know,
Why,in His wisdom, He had lead me so.
By Lillie Allen Mathews

Dear friends, I love this beautiful poem and wanted to share it with you. It has brought me comfort and peace during hard times. God bless you both! Diane

Christmas Without You

The lights are blinking merrily
The tinsel’s on the tree
It sits there in the window
For all the world to see.

The house is filled with holly
And pinecone scents the air
The Christmas cards keep coming
Each one is hung with care.

The gifts are tied with ribbons red
And topped with pretty bows
I’m done with all the details
As far as Christmas goes.

The fire is softly glowing
I think about your touch
But Christmas isn’t Christmas
I miss you oh, so much.

If I could have just anything
My Christmas wish would be
To wake up in the morning
And find you here with me.

Staring at your picture
I long to be set free
Tonight the tears are streaming
As I hold it next to me.

Flakes of snow swirl through the air
I’m braced for stormy weather
I wait for brighter days ahead
When we can be together.

So hold a place in heaven
Someday when life is through
I’ll be the Christmas angel
Who shares this day with you.

I found Abby's story on line almost 2 years ago, right before she went to Heaven. Her life and your grief as a mother stuck with me. I don't understand why she had to die and as a mom myself, my heart breaks for your loss.

I just want you to know I still remember her.

I just wanted to stop by to let you know we still think of you often and your beautiful Abigail. In fact, we let some balloons go this past weekend. Willie and Hunter always remember her. Willie wanted to try to tie an American Doll to the ballon but I tried to explain that it wouldn't fly. We all miss seeing your beautiful Abby's smile. I hope the holidays are not to difficult for you. We love you!
