Dear Delaney,
I went back to Solana Pacific for the reunion of the graduating seniors who had been 6th graders six years ago. When they were promoted to middle school I called your name.
I passed the garden Kevin's class planted for you, and it is flourishing! I wanted you to know I was thinking of you, and felt must surely you were smiling down upon us.
Love,
Mrs. Hays

Dear Angel Delaney,
I think of you and your family often, and especially at the beginning of each school year. Your angel statue graced our classroom garden and eventually the window sill looking out to the atrium. This is one of my fondest memories of teaching. I wonder about Kevin and Miranda and how they're doing now...college and high school! When I go to tennis tournaments at La Costa I always look for your brother "I have been changed for good!". Thank you.
Love,
Mrs. Hays

I received this email today. It brought me to tears. But the message is a good one - there are no coincidences, so I knew I had to share.
The Sandpiper
by Robert Peterson
She was six years old when I first met her on the beach near where I live.
I drive to this beach, a distance of three or four miles, whenever the world begins to close in on me. She was building a sand castle or something and looked up, her eyes as blue as the sea.
"Hello," she said.
I answered with a nod, not really in the mood to bother with a small child.
"I'm building," she said.
"I see that. What is it?" I asked, not really caring.
"Oh, I don't know, I just like the feel of sand."
That sounds good, I thought, and slipped off my shoes.
A sandpiper glided by.
"That's a joy," the child said.
"It's a what?"
"It's a joy. My mama says sandpipers come to bring us joy."
The bird went gliding down the beach. Good-bye joy, I muttered to myself, hello pain, and turned to walk on. I was depressed, my life seemed completely out of balance.
"What's your name?" She wouldn't give up.
"Robert," I answered. "I'm Robert Peterson."
"Mine's Wendy... I'm six."
"Hi, Wendy."
She giggled. "You're funny," she said.
In spite of my gloom, I laughed too and walked on.
Her musical giggle followed me.
"Come again, Mr.. P," she called. "We'll have another happy day."
The next few days consisted of a group of unruly Boy Scouts, PTA meetings, and an ailing mother. The sun was shining one morning as I took my hands out of the dishwater. I need a sandpiper, I said to myself, gathering up my coat.
The ever-changing balm of the seashore awaited me.. The breeze was chilly but I strode along, trying to recapture the serenity I needed.
"Hello, Mr. P," she said. "Do you want to play?"
"What did you have in mind?" I asked, with a twinge of annoyance.
"I don't know. You say."
"How about charades?" I asked sarcastically.
The tinkling laughter burst forth again. "I don't know what that is."
"Then let's just walk."
Looking at her, I noticed the delicate fairness of her face.
"Where do you live?" I asked.
"Over there." She pointed toward a row of summer cottages.
Strange, I thought, in winter.
"Where do you go to school?"
"I don't go to school. Mommy says we're on vacation"
She chattered little girl talk as we strolled up the beach, but my mind was on other things. When I left for home, Wendy said it had been a happy day. Feeling surprisingly better, I smiled at her and agreed.
Three weeks later, I rushed to my beach in a state of near panic. I was in no mood to even greet Wendy. I thought I saw her mother on the porch and felt like demanding she keep her child at home.
"Look, if you don't mind," I said crossly when Wendy caught up with me, "I'd rather be alone today." She seemed unusually pale and out of breath.
"Why?" she asked.
I turned to her and shouted, "Because my mother died!" and thought, My God, why was I saying this to a little child?
"Oh," she said quietly, "then this is a bad day."
"Yes," I said, "and yesterday and the day before and -- oh, go away!"
"Did it hurt?" she inquired.
"Did what hurt?" I was exasperated with her, with myself.
"When she died?"
"Of course it hurt!" I snapped, misunderstanding,
wrapped up in myself. I strode off.
A month or so after that, when I next went to the beach, she wasn't there. Feeling guilty, ashamed, and admitting to myself I missed her, I went up to the cottage after my walk and knocked at the door. A drawn looking young woman with honey-colored hair opened the door.
"Hello," I said, "I'm Robert Peterson. I missed your little girl today and wondered where she was."
"Oh yes, Mr. Peterson, please come in. Wendy spoke of you so much. I'm afraid I allowed her to bother you. If she was a nuisance, please, accept my apologies."
"Not at all! she's a delightful child." I said, suddenly realizing
that I meant what I had just said.
"Wendy died last week, Mr. Peterson. She had leukemia
Maybe she didn't tell you."
Struck dumb, I groped for a chair. I had to catch my breath.
"She loved this beach, so when she asked to come, we couldn't say no. She seemed so much better here and had a lot of what she called happy days. But the last few weeks, she declined rapidly..." Her voice faltered, "She left something for you, if only I can find it. Could you wait a moment while I look?"
I nodded stupidly, my mind racing for something to say to this lovely young woman. She handed me a smeared envelope with "MR. P" printed in bold childish letters.. Inside was a drawing in bright crayon hues -- a yellow beach, a blue sea, and a brown bird. Underneath was carefully printed:
A SANDPIPER TO BRING YOU JOY.
Tears welled up in my eyes, and a heart that had almost forgotten to love opened wide. I took Wendy's mother in my arms. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," I uttered over and over, and we wept together. The precious little picture is framed now and hangs in my study. Six words -- one for each year of her life -- that speak to me of harmony, courage, and undemanding love.
A gift from a child with sea blue eyes and hair the color of sand
-- who taught me the gift of love.
NOTE: This is a true story sent out by Robert Peterson. It happened over 20 years ago and the incident changed his life forever. It serves as a reminder to all of us that we need to take time to enjoy living and life and each other. The price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less.
Life is so complicated, the hustle and bustle of everyday traumas can make us lose focus about what is truly important
or what is only a momentary setback or crisis..
This week, be sure to give your loved ones an extra hug, and by all means, take a moment... even if it is only ten seconds, to stop and smell the roses.
This comes from someone's heart, and is read by many
and now I share it with you..
May God Bless everyone who receives this! There are NO coincidences!
Everything that happens to us happens for a reason. Never brush aside anyone as insignificant. Who knows what they can teach us?
I wish for you, a sandpiper.

You have a really cool mommy, Delaney. You would be proud that she helps all of us who are going through a similiar journey. All of us who lost our precious children to cancer. You know what I've come to realize, Delaney? You win...the cancer is gone but you continue to live on through everybody who loves you so and even through people like me, a complete stranger.....can't wait to meet you someday in heaven. Until then, my son is also 14...his name is Mac and he is super cool. Hoping the two of you have met and he is teaching you skate tricks and you are teaching him what you love. See you soon (I hope) Jen

Mom-
Your daughter is so "beautiful". She is a little "model" of sunshine.
She was put her to teach anyone who knew a lesson of love, before she was called back home for another lesson to be taught to someone else.
She is an angel of the sunshine that will shine no matter where she is.
Here are some ((((HUGS)))) for you to use when you need them.
Have a great year!

Hope...Time...Love...Healing...
Tomorrow will come. The pain will ease,
But you will never forget your precious child.
It takes hope, time, and love for the healing to take place.
Remember along the way to accept, but never forget.
Love lives longer than grief or pain...
All other things pass, but love will remain.
A bond that nothing can sever,
Because love lasts forever.
Our hearts are broken. Our world seems like it has ended.
Our dreams, our hopes, and our future with this child are over.
Our precious child has died.
God sends his little angels, in many forms and guises,
They come as lovely miracles, that God alone devises.
What we have once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose.
For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
Helen Keller
Remembering Delaney and her family in our hearts, today, tomorrow, and forever.

Amy, I just met you and browsed your journal and can almost completely relate to the ups and downs you experienced. I just wanted to say that your family's courage is inspiring and I will remember Delany's website when I'm feeling down about the loss of my son Wyatt. Delaney is absolutely gorgeous btw... if I could see what an angel looked like in person, I can't imagine she would look any different than your beautiful little girl.
Thanks for sharing your story.

Today I watched Oprah and heard about Mattie Stephanek, a little boy who left us way too soon. He must be there with you, dear Delaney. When I heard the poem he wrote, I thought of you. Since I didn't get my butterfly today, I figured this is your sign you gave me today.
When I Die (Part II) by Mattie Stephanek
When I die, I want to be
A child in Heaven.
I want to be
A ten-year-old cherub.
I want to be
A hero in Heaven,
And a peacemaker,
Just like my goal on earth.
I will ask God if I can
Help the people in purgatory.
I will help them think,
About their life,
About their spirits,
About their future.
I will help them
Hear their own Heartsongs again,
So they can finally
See the face of God,
So soon.
When I die,
I want to be,
Just like I want to be
Here on earth.

Hi Angel Delaney!
We think of you today with special love. We know for sure you are in Heaven and watching over your mom, dad, brother, and sister every day. We feel your presence in so many beautiful sights and sounds here on Earth, and Miranda and your Uncle Jim and I still find those pennies on the ground especially when we need them.
You are always in our hearts, but you already knew that.
Love, Godmother Marty, Godfather Jim, and Miranda <marty@bitsprings.com>

Dear Delaney,
Today is your birthday!!! Woo Whoo!!! I hope you and the other Angels are having a party. You've been sent a few other Angels to party with. Say hi to Grandpa J, Grandma Betty, Murphy, Taz, and Scraps. I wish you were with us so that we could help you celebrate.
You are thought of and remembered each and every day, not just on your birthday. It may be sunny today, but probably not warm enough to see your presence in the form of a beautiful butterfly, but I know you are here with us in our hearts.
With all my love today and always,
Aunt Carol, Uncle Mike, Marissa & Caitlin

Mamie will probably bring her Grandma to your party. My Mom has only been with you less than two months, so she's still learning. But I suppose even the eternity we will be together in Heaven may be just long enough to find all the wonderful things there.
I saw a meteor Sunday night. I hope it wasn't one of your candles that fell off while they were preparing your cake.

Tomorrow is the first day of sixth grade, dear Delaney! We love and miss you! You'll be a big part of Miranda's journey in this last year of elementary school. She has Mrs. Kay - who shares classes with Mrs. Hays. Mrs. Hays has already asked Miranda to keep your angel full of rose petals, and Miranda happily agreed!
Always thinking of you and your loving parents, sister and brother!

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is done.
I’d like to leave and echo…….
Whispering softly down the way of happy times
And laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun of happy memories
That I leave behind when day is done.
Thinking of you today.

To the living I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return
To the angry I was cheated
But to the happy, I am at peace
and to the faithful, I have never left
I cannot speak, but I can listen
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard
So as you stand upon a shore
Gazing at the beautiful ocean
Remember me
Remember me in your heart
and in your thoughts
and the memories
of the time we shared
For if you always think of me
I will never be gone.

Holding you close in prayer on the eve of Delaney's Homegoing anniversary. We know our grief never really goes away. It simply resurfaces unexpectedly with renewed strength tearing us apart with memories. Nevertheless, 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.
In His Love,

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

Dear Mr. Hallmark,
I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear,
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here,
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card,
A card of love for my parents, as this day for them is hard,
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you can imagine,
except I could not find a card, from a child that lives in heaven,
they are still a parent too, no matter where I reside,
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried,
I thought that if I wrote to you, that you would come to know,
that though I live in heaven now, I still love my parents so,
they talk with me, and dreams with me, we still share laughter too,
memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you can do?
my parents carry me in their heart, their tears they hide from sight,
they plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells,
they writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease there pain as well,
so you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth,
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth,
they need to be honored, and be remembered too,
just as the children of the earth will do,
thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you will do your best,
find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me,
until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.
I know Christmas must be so hard for you although I can't comprehend how difficult it must be.
All my love,
Viks

We just got back from our wonderful Thanksgiving Disneyland Trip with the Kertons (Michael, Carol, Aaron, Marissa, Caitlin and Dru.) We had a great time and enjoyed the time together.
Delaney came to us as a butterfly while we were all in line at the Thunder Mountain Ride. The weather was beautiful and there were many flowers around. But we only sawone butterfly in the two days we were there. The butterfly stayed on the flower over 1 minute (which is a long time for a butterfly.) Long enough for all of us to get our cameras out and realize just who was behind the visit.
Thank you Delaney for visiting us and reminding us what to be thankful for during Thanksgiving.

You have been in my thoughts lately.
There is another little girl named Claire that is fighting each day not to become an angel. Her family is going through a similar journey that your family did. She has lots of support. Your mommy met her Uncle Greg at Marissa's wedding. It makes me see again, how strong your family was and still is.
We will be heading to Disneyland for Thanksgiving. We will meet up with your Mom, Dad, Kevin, & Shelley. We will remember other Thanksgivings when you were with us. And, I know you will be with us in spirt. I can't wait to see how you will 'show' yourself to us. Last time, it was on a ride (darn I wish I could remember which one). You appeared as a little girl named Delaney and your parents asked Caitlin to sit with you on the ride. We were all surprised, but now, we will be ready for you!!!

I too, recently lost my daughter, Brittany and I found it comforting to know that GOD wanted such beautiful angels to be with him. Delaney and Brittany will always live in our hearts and are with us always. God Bless these beautiful angels. We were so lucky to have shared our lives with them.

What a beautiful angel... I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.
I have been thinking lately about joining a friend in doing charity walks (leukemia being my focus, after losing several beloved cats to the feline version, I can only slightly begin to imagine what families go through). I think I just decided. A cure will be found, and I want to help. Please know that by sharing your pain, you truly inspire others.

LETTING YOU KNOW THAT YOUR THOUGHT OF ON MOTHER'S DAY.KEEPING YOU IN MY THOUGHTS AND IN MY PRAYER'S ALWAYS.
A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven
Dear Mr. Hallmark,
I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she’s cried.
I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?
My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth
She needs to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you’ll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I’ll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

Three years ago I rode in memory of Delaney with San Diego TNT around Lake Tahoe. This past weekend I, and the TNT Team I coach, rode again in her memory on the anniversary of her passing. Delaney will always be an Honored Angel for me.
Take Me To The Place - Deacon Blue.
Take me to the place where your heart hurts most
Lead me through the dark world gates down there
Where all the ghosts of sorrow and pain
And fear and despair stay hiding
And we’ll walk right through to our own way, our own place
There’s a beach that I walk so long and so broad
Oceans away miles longer than pain
In my glad dreams, I take you there, and it’s easy
Because the work and the hours
And the pay are far behind our sure steps
My heart longs to be next to you
My heart want’s to be there, be there with you
Where it’s warm and tender and mercy flows like a river
And there you stand with your wide open hands
And say abide with me

When i got this e-mail regarding a sweet little girl something in my self being changed. As long as i am able to walk this earth, i'll be walking for a cure. Delaney, this one is for you.

This was my first visit to Delaney's page, and I had to comment on the song you have written in your current entry. Martina McBride is one of my favorite artists, and did you know that her oldest daughter is named Delaney?? My oldest daughter (who just turned 7), is also named Delaney...I had loved that name from the first time I heard it. I am so sorry that your Delaney is an angel; I cannot imagine that time has made her passing any easier for you.
Sending you some hugs and warm wishes!!

The dust has settled on the things,
That I have stored away,
A favorite toy, for a little girl,
A Jar of dried out clay.
A photograph when you were young,
Sits quietly on the shelf,
Thoughts of you keep coming back,
I just cant help myself.
A Drawing that you made for me,
When you were very small,
It's framed within this heart of mine,
And hangs upont the wall.
A scrapbook lies within the room,
Where you once lay your head,
Your favorite book, a model car,
The pillow on your bed.
I miss you coming home from school,
"Hey Mom, its me, I'm home."
I miss the little words and hugs,
The special time we've known.
A part of me just disappeared,
The day you went away,
An empty space now fills my heart,
There are no words to say.
A closet filled with memories,
Of special days gone by,
A teddy bear, and souvenier,
Oh why did you have to die?
The trophies that you won from school,
Stand proudly on display,
Your many friends cant understand,
Why God called you away.
I hear your voice within the halls,
That echo through the night,
I see you in the evening mist,
And in the morning light.
So many things you left behind,
Are now a memory,
But little arms that held me tight,
Will always stay with me.
An empty space now fills my heart,
My girl, my child, my daughter,
You've gone into another world,
Where golden dreams are spun.
I do not know the answers,
It's not for me to know,
But I will know the truth one day,
Why did you have to go?
My turn will come to leave this world,
I'll gaze into your eyes,
God's perfect plan will be revealed,
Up there in Paradise.

The Cord
We are connected my child and I,
by an invisible cord not seen by the eye.
It is not like the cord
that connects us til birth
this cord can't be seen
by any on earth
This cord does it's work
right from the start
it binds us together
attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
though no one can see
the invisible cord
from my child to me.
The strength of this cord
is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed,
it can't be denied
It's stronger than any cord
man could create.
It withstands the test
can hold any weight
and though you are gone
though your not here with me
the cord is still there
but no one can see
It pulls at my heart,
I am bruised....... I am sore
But this cord is my lifeline
as never before..
I am thankful that God
connects us this way
a mother and child
death can't take it away!!!!!!!

Happy birthday in Heaven Delaney. xoxoxox
Today I Thought of You
I sat and watched a sunset today
The way we once used to do
I recalled the tranquility it brought
Today I thought of you
I watched a little child at play
While others played with her too
I thought of all the times you played
Today I thought of you
I watched a mother leave her child
And walk away from the school
I remembered the times when we did that
Today I thought of you
I watched a wedding taking place
As I sat and observed the bride and groom
I know I'll never share this with you
But today I thought of you
I saw a little girl in a store
Buying candy for her brother too
I remembered you and your brother
Today I thought of you
I sat in a church in the back pew
The family torn in two
They were burying their little boy
Today I thought of you
I saw a cloud up in the sky
The background a beautiful blue
I thought of Heaven and where you are
Today I thought of you
No matter where I'm at

Angel Delaney, It's been so long since i've sent you a message on this site. We haven't forgotten about you. You are in our thoughts often, especially when we go to the coast, hospital, or see the power puff girls! Coral runs to the bronze puppy each time we go for her check-ups. She pets it, touches the plaque with your name, then smiles with your memory. Our thoughts will be with you on your birthday. We'll send you more balloons with Coral, Kylie & Braden's pictures they made you. Miss you!

Well, I was walking over to PICU today, and I just happened to look at a little doggie statue in the window...and it was there in memory of my little friend Delaney Wilson Wright. I just had to come and look at her photos! Thanks for the wonderful reminder of one of my truly favorite patients! Hope to see you all and meet Shelly at Celebration this year!

Amy you were one of the first people I came to know on caringbridge and cant even remember how. And so Delaney was one of the first angels. I still cry when I look at her picture and know shes not here anymore, and I never even met her. So I know its got to be sooo hard for you guys. Hoping good memories bring an unexpected smile to your face to help you get through the days, especially the milestones when the loss hurts so much more, like tomorrow. I have no answers, only questions, about the grand scheme of life, but am keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS
God Give Us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear the song
of angels from afar
And, with our eyes and ears attuned
for a message from above,
Let "Christmas Angels" speak to us
of hope and faith and love
Hope to light our pathway
When the way ahead is dark,
Hope to sing through stormy days,
with the sweetness of the lark
Faith to trust in things unseen
and know beyond all seeing
That it is in our Fathers love
We live and have our being
And love to break down barriers
of color, race and creed,
Love to see and understand
and help all those in need.
Lord, bless those we love this Christmas Day,be they near or far away Bless those good friends who mean so much and those with whom we're out of touch. We bring them all to You in prayer, and ask You to keep them in Your care.
Please know that you are thought of, in a very special way, not just this beautiful season but every day.

"Merry Christmas from Heaven"
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular please wipe away that tear
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you of the joy their voices bring
for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart for I am spending C! hristmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face?
I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell him of your love
so then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.
Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in heaven and I'm walking with the King.

Dear Delaney,
I'm sorry I was unable to visit your website earlier. I want you to know that I remember you and often think of you. Your beautiful and wonderful mom was my son Jack's T-ball coach. I remember seeing you at your big brother's games, at his birthday party with Coach Kurtis, and in your stroller in the morning as your dad manned the cross-walks at school. I want you to know what I was doing when I found out that you became an angel. I was giving Jack a bath when he told me. I started to cry, and wanted to know why? I called someone, I can't remember who...I think it was Coach Debbie and she told me that you were sick. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I want you to know that I do think you, your mom, dad, Kevin, and your new sister often. Your family is often in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for allowing me to know you while you were still here. I will never forget you.

A MOTHERS GRIEF
She was only a tiny little girl
Who lived just a few short years.
She has gone to live with angels
And left a mother to shed her tears.
She questions “Why not me” Lord?
Why this little child of mine??
I just don’t understand the why,
And wonder if I will in time.
I know each child is a gift on loan.
A precious gift from God above.
Ours to cherish more than anything,
For it is a gift that teaches us love.
For now, every single day
Will start and end with tears.
How long before this sadness,
So overwhelming now, disappears?
Will this mother ever find joy
As she watches another child play??
Will another child’s laughter
Help to take the pain away??
She knows this grief is normal
And only time will heal her heart.
When once more she can smile
She knows the healing will start.
She knows that life goes on,
Things she must do every day.
But God is aware of her pain
And He will help to take it away.
For the child is now safe in His Arms,
Among other angels in Heaven Above.
Her spirit is once more happy and Free
Remembering a mothers true love.
Kate E.

Ask my Mom how she is
My Mom, she tells alot of lies
she never did before.
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 is she,
She'll say "I'm alright."
If that's the truth, then tell me,
why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mom how is she,
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 Gods 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 is she
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!"

Thought I would leave a message on my first visit to your site. What an absolutely gorgeous girl! She was angelic on earth, as she is now in heaven. Just wanted you to know that there are many of us out here, mommies to angels, and we all share something special...we were given our beautiful children, and for that we have been truly blessed. Let that outweigh the pain we feel, the questions "Why", and all that slows us down some days. We have been truly blessed, and someday we will hold them again. I cannot wait!

Coral has been off treatment for over 6 months now. This makes me very happy, nervous and guilty. I wish both of you could've reached this point together. I hope you like your balloons that Coral, Kylie and Braden sent you. Thank you for blessing us with your friendship, spirit and your memory. We will never forget you.

I too came from Max's site. I can envision Delaney welcoming Max onto a big, beautiful playground, introducing him to the other kids like a big sister would.
This is the first time I've been to your site and I read your entire journal. Your strength is impressive and I know that made Delaney's journey less frightening and eased her transition.
We count our blessings every day and know that we have been so very fortunate. We begrudgingly remind ourselves that we are not out of the water yet. I hope that with whatever power Delaney and Max may have in their new lives, they will look out and lend strength to other little kids like my Morgan.
You are coming upon the 2nd anniversary. I know from experience that these times are vivid and difficult. I hope you can take solice in the idea that Delaney paved the way for new treatments and may even be lending herself to others fights on a non-corporeal plane.
I wish you peace.

For Delaney and Mommy:
I stood by your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying,
you found it hard to sleep.
I sang to you softly
as you brushed away a tear.
"It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast
I watched you pour the tea.
You were thinking of the many times
your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at my grave today,
you tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you,
that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house,
as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my hands on you,
I smiled and said, "It's me."
You looked so very tired,
and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know,
that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be
so near you every day.
To say to you with certainty,
"I never went away."
You sat there very quietly,
then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.
The day is over...
I smile and watch you yawning.
and say, " Goodnight, God Bless,
I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right
for you to cross the brief divide.
I'll rush across to greet you
and we'll stand side-by-side.
I have so many things to show you,
there's so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me

I came here from Katia´s site. I read all the journal and even knowing how the story ended, it was hard to accept the disease coming back after some many different medical attempts plus Delaney´s courageous attitude and all the LOVE and support she received from you. It is unbelievable how life can change so fast from one day to another. I cannot imagine how much you suffered with her during the treatment and how brave you are to manage to survive the loss of her. I am sure you are all proud of each other. You are great persons and have an incredible faith and are doing the right thing. Being positive ! Comemorating the years and the gifts she gave you. She is a beautiful angel. Heaven became a better place upon her arrival. One day you will meet again and it will be a glorious day. I am honored to know a little of Delaney´s & family story.
Hugs from Brazil. Merry Christmas in Heaven and on Earth.

We lost our beautiful angel Meghan (age 6) 8 yrs ago. It seems like just the other day she left. Christmas is especially hard as her last Christmas was so filled with suffering. I think our angels are together dancing and having a wonderful time waiting until we are together again. There is a purpose to this it is that we do not yet know it.

Delaney,
We love you and miss you here in our home. We know you are in our hearts ... Daddy says, "Thanks for the bunny." He knows you sent it to him. For everyone that doesn't know, Delaney's Dad 'found' a 'free' domestic bunny in our backyard. We put up signs and went door to door, but no one had ever seen the bunny. The bunny is gentle and loves children. Bob got the bunny a new deluxe cage, a 'play pen' for animals so the bunny can lay in the grass and run around, and he feeds and takes care of it. He knows that Delaney sent it to him.

Touch Of An Angel
I felt an angel's touch today,
in the midst of my despair.
Twas sent by God, Himself, to say,
"be still and know I'm there."
To lead through days of darkness,
and light your way with love.
Be still and know, deep in your heart,
I'm reigning from above.
I'll lift you when you stumble,
I'm with you all the time.
I understand and share your pain;
remember child of mine,
The end is coming quickly;
the Lord shall soon appear.
To resurrect the righteous ones,
I love and hold so dear.
And bring them home, into a place,
where broken hearts are healed.
And promises I made to you,
will finally be fulfilled.
This life is but a spot in time,
a place for lessons learned.
Heaven holds the key to all,
your broken spirit yearns.
I sent an angel down today,
to show my words are true.
You're never far, beyond the arms,
of all God's love for you.
All material copyright @Judy Van Meter
You are in my heart and prayers. If you ever need someone to talk to or lean on, please email me. May God draw near and give you strength and hope and allow you to feel the touch of your angel.

Reading your journal entries (past and present) really touched me. There was one line you said especially that I need to memorize because it's so true. Basically loving as much as you grieve, or loving more than you grieve. THis is why I need to memorize it! When I read it I had a light bulb moment!

Amy I know I havent been by in a while, been keeping busy but thats no excuse. Theres just been so much bads news on Cb I had to take a breather, you know? It just seems never ending. I'm trying to figure out are more kids actually getting and succumbing to cancer than ever before, or am I just so much more aware of it now that I am in "the loop"? I guess its both.... but at any rate I am thinking of you

I am so touched by Delaney's story. My 3 year old daughter, Morgan, was diagnosed with AML in December of 2002, went into remission in January, and completed treatment at the end of April. Our fingers are crossed. I just wanted you to know that I feel your pain at the loss of your angel and appreciate you sharing Delaney's story. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Aunt Carol, Uncle Mike, Marissa & Caitlin went and saw a live performance of CATS last night. None of us had seen it before. We all saw Victoria kitty and thought of you. At intermission, there was a young girl about 7 with long blond hair that was in the row in front of us. She was wearing a white kitty outfit and a kitty mask. The girls and I all looked at each other. We could picture you in that little girl, and we knew it was a sign that you were with us. We are sending our love to you. MEOW!

Hi Delaney,
It's been a long time since we've signed your guestbook. We saw your mom at Celebration of Champions. She was so strong. We all miss you so much! Coral and Kylie are at Camp Reach for the Sky this week. Coral really misses you! Today is her brother Braden's 3rd birthday and Coral said she wants to give you a balloon. Look for it on Saturday morning when we have the party. You're in our thoughts always. Love, Cynthia, Coral, Kylie & Braden

I think of them when I see the butterflies doing their dance... Just wish I could find a way to keep memories alive, without so much sorrow.

Dear Delaney,
I'm sorry I am late in wishing you a "heavenly birthday", I'm sure your celebration was AWESOME. That is so cool that you sent your family a message with the "cat sighting". It had to make them so happy. I know that they miss you a ton, but someday you will all be together again in God's heavenly home. When that day comes, I will also get a chance to meet you face to face. Until then Delaney, keep sending your family your signs to let them know you are there. God's blessings on you all. With big hugs and love,

Yesterday was your birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL! I just want to say THANK YOU because I did my personal best at in the spring play and it was all because of you! You brought the drama queen out of me and showed me how to shine! Because of you I know that I shouldnt take life foregranted and live every moment to the fullest! Because of you I had the courage to take a risk and get out on stage in front of 200 people for the play! On wednesday, I got many signs from you...the weather was great, I saw roses everywhere and that night I got a full night of sleep and dreamt of you dancing in heaven! (and a full night sleep is rare for me, believe me) Save a place for my gramps for me! I love you with all my heart sweety! I miss you gorgeous! All my Love, Caitlin
PS: I found a song that reminded me so much of you...and coincidentally its called Seven Years because its your 7th birthday!
"Seven Years" --Norah Jones
Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all alone
Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
that comes along
Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound
Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That's all her own
Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone

Hi. Just wanted to sign your guestbook. I'm a new parent to DaybyDay, and have been looking at all of the other sites parents have dedicated to their children, and am trying to sign all of the guestbooks. My daughter, Julia, passed away on 8/4/02 from osteosarcoma (bone cancer). She was 10. I just want to make a point of signing everyone's guestbook to let them know I'm thinking about their child, as well as mine. I hate this disease and don't understand why it needs to afflict anyone, let alone a beautiful, innocent, sweet, perfect child. Take care.

As I read your journal enteries I felt as though it was my life for the past three years.. we just lost our dear son Matthew on 3/25/03 he was dx 9/9/99...we lost him due to a fungal infection following two BM transplants. He had ALL but much of the chemo and regimine that you described is what he went through as well. We have a ten year old son Michael who keeps us going and happy. Meanwhile, no doubt both of our children are angels....take care nadia nadiamh12804@yahoo.com

The memory of Delaney will live in my heart forever. It meant so much to me that we had found each other. It was across the country and our children fighting the same disease with the same treatment. I was so heart broken at her losing the battle.
I stop and think now about what she is seeing now. We can only imagine. I love that song out about only imagining what Heaven is going to be like. I can almost hear the children laughing and singing.
I don't know if you keep up with the POG Study that Delaney and Holly was on. There were 35 children that started the study. There were 4 that had sibling matches and only 12 that had the Melphalan. That is only 16 out of 35. The final words on the abstract is: this treatment stategy is promising. I don't feel this treatment is promising at all. I'm very interested in reading the abstract after the 5 years about the survivors.
Remember Delaney today and everyday!

I just came here from Alexandrias' site; she is a friend of ours. My little girl was dx w/ALL on 11/02/00, 5 days before Alexandria's dx w/Phil+ ALL.
It is very painful to watch so many families go through the agony of treatment only to lose a child to the horrific reality called cancer. It is a wicked brutal beast.
Delaney was a very precious looking little girl. I bet she had her daddy wrapped around her finger. The reality off all of this is so painful; there are not adequate words to express the feelings.
May God's peace surround you and His blessings be upon you,

You’ll Always Be My Special Valentine
You’ll always be love cradled in my heart and memories to cherish through the years….
You’ll always be a sunbeam; smiles for the soul and hugs reaching up to outstretched arms.
You’ll always be dreams gently growing into flowers in a garden of special secrets to share.
You’ll always be footsteps racing on through time beneath the moon of yesterday.
You’ll always be kisses blowing in the wind on a playground stretched out from sky to sky.
You’ll always be the gift God has given me.
You’ll always be my joy, my happiness, and my song.
You’ll always be the child I love.

I know there is an emptiness that can never be replaced, and many make mention of Delaney's gorgeous eyes.
They truly are the window to the soul and she was beautiful from within too. We are trying to raise awareness and bring more love, prayers and support to more kids' sites, so you will be getting messages here from someone who "Adopted" your site and wants to keep Delaney's memory alive and support you a little.

Dear Angel Delaney,
I was dreading the 7th of January because I was flashing back in my mind to that very morning that changed my life and I thought this day would always be filled with bad luck. I pushed the tears back and tried to forget about it all. However, I walked out of the Phys Ed Locker rooms, laughing and talking with my friends and I noticed a bright shiny new penny, heads up, right in my path. I immediately stopped and thought of you. I picked it up and stuck it in my pocket. Everytime I felt sad or angry at the fact that God requested you to be one of his beautiful angels, I would squeeze it tight and remember this is a day to celebrate your life full of loving friends and family. That was the day you were relieved of the pain and confusion of the world and lifted up to live among the clouds. Thank you Delaney for being there to remind me that you are watching over all of your loved ones...I almost forgot there for a minute, getting caught up in my crazy teenage life. That penny is now in my shoe...because it will always remind me that you are with me every step I take. I love you.

What a beautiful child Delaney is. I got to your site through the Day by Day list. I too, lost my precious child, a son age 12, Matt, to Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in July. His six month anniversary was on the 5th. I cannot imagine that they are not here with us. I am thinking about you as you prepare for another year without your special girl. Blessings.

Dear Delaney,
Yesterday, Miranda and I went to visit you after she went to Brownies. Because we did that, we drove home much later than we usually do on a school day, and just happened to see one of Miranda's first grade classmates walking on a busy street at 5:00 p.m., all alone. We turned around and stopped to pick him up. He told us he was walking home and was already a mile from school. When we took him home, the police were there, as well as his distraught mother. He had been reported missing, as no one knew where he was! But I know that you knew all along where he was, as you were walking with him, guiding him to us.
My sweet Angel, even in heaven, you watch over us. God bless you!
Love, Aunt Marty < >

Hello Delaney. Thank you for creating a beautiful day! It was foggy, windy and cold this morning but as I opened the door at work it was warm and the sun was shining bright. I know you were with me today (like everyother day) because the signs were there. Just when the day is going awful you show me what to be thankful for. "If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again." Thank you for being a part of my life. Even though it's been a year since you left this crazy world, you have not been forgotten. You continue to fill our hearts with love <3

Our dearest goddaughter, we love you so much and can hardly believe it is a year since you became an angel in Heaven. We went to visit you today at your resting place on earth. It was peaceful and beautiful. I know you must have loved the card your mama, daddy and brother Kevin made for you on the first anniversary of your arrival in heaven. We miss you but we know you are always with us as you watch over us. Hugs to you in heaven, our princess angel!

Dear Wright Family-
I saw your website today on Gooch's site. Strange that I would come here on this one year anniversary of the loss of your beautiful Delaney. My nine year old daughter, Alexandria, just finished a round of Clofarex. She was diagnosed 11/00 with high risk ALL, relapsed 7/02, sibling -match BMT 10/02, relapse 12/02. Thinks do not look so good but I am trying to keep up hope and faith. The Clofarex is working on the blood, not sure about the bone marrow yet. I just want you to know that although I cannot fully appreciate the pain you all have endured in the last year, I do know how awful this disease is for our children. It breaks my heart that they must endure so much in their few short years of life. I will be praying for your family. Alexandria's website is

I wish for you...
Comfort on difficult days,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Faith so that you can believe,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
And love to complete your life.
God Bless you!
I asked the Lord to bless you
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way....
His love is always with you
His promises are true
No matter what the tribulation
You know He will see us through
So when the road you're traveling on
Seems difficult at best
Give your problems to the Lord
And God will do the rest.

Wright family,
I know today will be very hard on you as well as all those who loved Delaney. I hope you look back on the past year and see how far you've come together as a family. I think back and can't believe it's been a year. I can still picture little Delaney pretending to be Victoria wearing pink and purple watching Power Puff Girls with all of her cats, dolls and tattoos on her bed. Tonight, Coral and I will light a candle in Delaney's memory. My friends and family will pray for your family and Angel Delaney. I feel honored to have known such a wonderful person. I love and miss you all dearly.
Sincerely,
Cindy Bingham

Amy, Bob, Kevin, and Angel Delaney.
One year has passed. It is so hard to believe she has been gone a year. It seems only yesterday we saw her laughing and smiling. I guess that proves she is in our hearts forever. That laugh, that smile, that look has made a life long impression in our sole. Some how a year ago, I didn't think any of us could have gone on, but yet, we received strength from Delaney. I know that I have grown as a person this year. I look at children, at illness, at life very differently. Her death was not for nothing. She made us all better human beings. She brought closeness to our families. We've now shared births and death and everything in between.
Yesterday, Mike and I were planting a new rose bush in our Angel Delaney garden. Mike found a beautiful marble in the soil right next to the fairy bench. We had dug in that same soil other times and never found a marble before. We both knew Delaney was watching and approving of the new Veteran's Honor Rose.
Time has moved forward, and so must we. We honor Delaney and are blessed by being touched by her.
Our thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone who was touched by Angel Delaney.

Dear Family of Delaney,
Delaney died on January 7th, one year ago. One year you had to start living again without your precious Delaney. It must have been a hard year and you must miss her a lot. I had a look at her pictures and was touched by them. She was such a pretty girl. She fought her cancer so bravely; it is so hard that she lost the fight.
I send you all my love and hope you will find some peace in the new year that is ahead of you.

I can't believe it's almost the new year! We miss you all very much and hope to see you in the coming year. Coral has been atttending Kindergarden this year and has found a best friend. Moving on to a new best friend was very difficult for her as well as myself. Her name is Delaney. This little girl has no idea how another girl of that same name has touched our lives and the symbolism that we see in their friendships. Angel Delaney is greatly missed and is still brought up in conversations almost daily. I hope the new year will bring happiness to your family.

I think your Delaney in Heaven is here with us tonight, Amy - I truly do! Just as I was reading your posting tonight, the sink started running water here in the hospital room. It hasn't done that on it's own since we've been here and I was startled and then amazed that it happened JUST AS I WAS READING YOUR GUESTBOOK ENTRY!
Thank you so much for you kind thoughts and words - I really enjoy reading your website when you talk of Delaney and the time she was yours to care for here on earth - I believe God has big plans for her up in heaven... she's working a bit of magic here with us now! God Bless!

Dear Angel Delaney. We met your mom, dad, and big brother Kevin for our bi-annual trek to Disneyland. We felt your presence every step of the way. We talked of good times that we shared with you. We certainly got a sign you were with us, when a mother asked us if Caitlin would ride a ride with her daughter because she and the father had to take the 2 little brothers on the ride (the car only held 4 people). When Caitlin boarded the ride, I asked the mom what the little girl's name was, and it was Delaney. She was 4 years old. She had brown hair, yet her eyes were blue. She wore a pink shirt with the 3 Disney princesses on it. She talked to Caitlin as if they were best friends. We knew it was a sign from you. Happy Thanksgiving, little princess. Love, Aunt Carol

What a wonderful blessing Delaney was to have blessed your life, she is a lovely child and I am most sure a lovely little angel. God watches over his little angels with special care.We lost a child to miscarriage in no way the same but we know how precious children are, Your daughter must have really liked her kittie's. Next time I have a orphan baby kitten for rescue I will name one after your daughter. I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet little girl, but know she watches over all of you every moment of every day, God bless all of you,

I wanted to share this song with you.
Good-Bye
by Sondra Burnett
Into His hands I send you now;
If I could keep you with me I would some how;
But you have been chosen to be by His side;
The angels have come to take you for a ride.
Up above the clouds where Heaven is waiting;
Jesus has His arms opened wide;
So good-bye for now my sweet lullaby.
Letting you go isn't easy to do;
We hope you know how much we love you;
The time is come to tell you good-bye;
We'll see you again someday in the sky.
Up about the clouds where Heaven is waiting;
Jesus has His arms opened wide;
So good-bye for now my sweet lullaby.
So good-bye for now my sweet lullaby.
Always in my thoughts and prayers

Hi Angel Delaney,
Just thought Id give an update: As my mom said, I volunteered at the Light the Night Walk a couple weeks ago. I was feeling icky that day but when I started helping out, I could feel you lifting my spirits to keep me going...Thank you :). I also started high school a couple weeks ago...its been rough but getting through the day is a lot easier when I remind myself that you are up there playing with kitties and dancing. It helps me get that occasional giggle out. I also am attending the Leukimia and Lymphoma society board. Yesterday, they had an older boy come for the "Mission Moment." He talked about what he is experiening in his fight against cancer (AML). I know you are up there giving every child that suffers from this disease a boost. Later in the month I will also be writing an essay on you and your experience and i might have a chance to win a scholarship...wish me luck :). I love you so much and really miss you! Keep playing with my kitty!
All my love, Caitlin <rockchick11@attbi.com>

Dear Wright Family,
The Light the Night Walk was highly successful. There were hundreds of people. We were at the beginning of the walk going around the park. When we got to the end of the park, we could look behind us and across the park and see a trail of lit balloons. It was awesome!!! Our team raised over $800, and the entire walk reached its goal of over $100,000. It was just amazing. I did get a sign from you, Delaney. I saw a little blond girl about your age with hair just beginning to grow back, and she was carring a white (survivor) balloon. I looked at her and immediately knew, you were with me, with all of us, all the way.

Hi Angel Delaney. Aunt Carol, Uncle Mike, and Marissa will be walking the Light the Night walk for the Leukemia Society on Friday. We raised some money from some very generous friends and family. We will carry lighted balloons in your honor. Caitlin is now on the Jr. Board for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Sacramento. She will be volunteering the afternoon and evening of the walk. Since we are a team, we get to carry a banner that Caitlin decorated with your pictures and stars and hearts. It is really cool. It will be dark when we walk, but look down and see all the lit balloons tomorrow night and show us a sign that you are watching.

Thank you for leading me to your beautiful site!! Your daughter is SO very beautiful and I'm sure she is so very proud of you for your loving tribute. I'm also glad to know someone else believes in the 'pennies from Heaven'. When I'm down...I always seem to find a penny from my beloved angel telling me to 'cheer up Gram'. I hope we get to know each other much better during our 'swaps'. I'll be back to visit your angel. Hugs, Cuppy(Melissa's devoted Gram)

What a beautiful site you have for your daughter. I am in your new group and would like to send you a HUG today. I look forward to getting to know you better. I have a niece up in heaven with Delaney. She was 12 when we found out she had non-hodgkins lymphoma. She was recovering from a bone marrow transplant and getting ready to go home when an infection took her away from us. She has a star on page 4 of heavenly lights - Megan Leigh Newstrom.

Dearest Family,
Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know I still come here each and every day and stop to say a prayer for your family. I still love to look at the pictures of beautiful Delaney and smile each time I do. I know she is one of the most beautiful angels flying around the heavens. I have no doubt she is leaving you signs that she is just fine. I also have no doubt God has put her and her sweet disposition to very good use!! Kevin, my son, Robbie, also 10 years old, went to his first pro tennis match this past Monday in Indianapolis. He wasn't too thrilled about having to get up at 4:30 AM, but thoroughly enjoyed his day and getting to see the pros play. He also was lucky enough to get some autographs. The day he was there the "biggest names" weren't there, but it didn't matter to him, he loved every minute of it. Being a former tennis player all through high school, I can also remember back when I was a kid (years ago) going to watch Chrissy Evert play. Boy was that a thrill for me!! You may not even know who she is, but when I was a kid she was the biggest!! I always dreamt of being able to be a ball girl. You sure would be lucky to be able to do that!! Please stay strong and let God and Delaney guide you through each day. . . one at a time. Good luck at school this year Kevin. My kids start next week!! God's blessings on you all and I'll be back to check in again soon. With big hugs and love,

I just felt a need to visit Delaney's site tonight and let you know that we continue to think about all of you and pray for your continued strength in the days and months ahead. The scholarship you created in her honor and memory is very special. Also, I'm glad you were able to go to Santa Barbara for your annual visit, and that it brought you more memories of beautiful Delaney. The painting you found, Amy, sounds perfect for many reasons. Love is being sent to all of you, from Seattle. Also... Kevin, keep up the tennis! We hope to see you play someday!

Hi! Simple words can't express the flood of emotions that came over me as I read your Journal. With my own six year old Delaney fighting her own battle with cancer, I felt a closeness I can't explain as I read...and read...and read. People have asked me over the hears how I EVER came up with such a unique name for my daughter, and I simply reply, "God let's parents name the REALLY SPECIAL daughters Delaney". Amy, clearly, you know what I mean!!! :-) Thank you for sharing her story of strength, hope, and courage with us. Angel Delaney Wilson, keep talking to statues, dancing around the pool, chasing those cats, and please keep a watchful eye over the rest of us.

My name is Renée La Forest and my daughter and I, also Delaney, were looking for her website here at Children's Hospital. I found your Delaney first. After I tucked my little parakeet into bed, I snuck back here to read about yours... you have no idea how my heart goes out to you!
You handled her illness with grace and fed on the strength she showed until the end. I pray that the knowledge that God has brought her to be with him, at that she is no longer in pain will allow you to remember the happiness, and the closeness you shared before she became your Angel Delaney.
Every day I have with my daughter, born a short three weeks before yours, I thank God for! I have no idea whether she will survive this illness (Ewing's Sarcoma) or not... but I have faith, and I pray, and I want you to know I will hug her just a bit tighter tomorrow, and every day thereafter - for you - God Bless you and yours - you are a strong family, and I pray you will continue to be!
If you care to read about our little one, she is at www.caringbridge.org/oh/teamdelaney.

Hello Delaney,
I miss you and your family so much. It was hardest during the forth of July. As I watched the HUGE fireworks above me on lake tahoe, I thought how beautiful they were but then again they were nothing compared to your smile!:) There was one firework that was bright purple with glittery sparkles that stayed in the sky until they fell into the lake. I knew right away that that one was made and sent by you. Thank you. I also bought a small powerpuff girls pot and my mom helped me put a pretty plant in it. You have been such an inspiration to me and my writing. Not only are you my angel, you are my muse. You have showed me courage and faith to help me put my feet on the floor and get out of bed each and every morning. Take care of my kitty up there. *Make sure to put LOTS of bows on him, wink wink ;)* I love you beyond my heart.
Love,
Caitlin

Christine and I went to the Art Fair on Sunday (local Santa Barbara artists display/sell their work along the boardwalk.) I was looking for a 'Paris' street scene painting. And I found it from my favorite SB artist. (Her name is Sue Slater and she is the artist that painted the pictures to be hung in the dining area.) She did her first Paris street scene and it is great. Part of the scene includes items in a window of one of the Paris shops: a wonderful, pink hat - Delaney's hat. Both Christine and I knew right away it was your hat, Delaney, and I had to have the painting. (Yes, I am crying while I write this...)

Hi Angel Delaney (aka Diva)!
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that the playroom at Children's Hospital is not the same without you and I think about you often! You and your magnificently positive energy are sorely missed! I also want to thank you for your positive spirit that I feel accompanying me as I try to help other children there to possess even just a sliver of the strength that you so gallantly radiated!
Kevin, I wanted to commend you on not only your admirable dedication to tennis, but also, on your wonderfully written and very thoughtful update today. Delaney, along with your parents, must be very proud!

Delaney,
We just came back from our annual July 4th Santa Barbara trip. It was very difficult to go without you, but we felt you with us there as we do here at home.
We blew kisses to you on Kevin's Birthday and the 4th. We miss you so much, each and every day. Kevin J. and Stefanie miss you, too.
Life is not the same without you in it. We know you are loving us from heaven.
Love you always, Mom <wright_amy@hotmail.com>

Hi Miss D. Just checking in to wish you a Happy 4th of July. While we watched the beautiful fireworks displays in Tahoe this year, we looked up to the sky and knew you were looking down at the fireworks and also to see all of us. You are free of the nasty cancer and the pain it must have caused. God Bless you and God Bless your family. Love Aunt Carol, Uncle Mike, Marissa, and Caitlin

Hi Delaney - I came to visit you yesterday afternoon. Kevin and I played tennis inthe morning. Knock Around Club starts today and I wish you were attending, you would have so much fun! Remember how you decorated your IV pole and had a parade at the hospital last year? Mom is going to place some 4tth of July pinwheels at your site so you can celebrate again.
I will miss you always, Dad

Dear Family of Delaney,
I was told about the Heavenly Lights Website and was particulary interested in the site for your daughter, Delaney. Our son, Steve, also passed away from AML on April 27, 2002, and we will be adding a star in his memory soon. Steve was 15 years old. His story is so close to Delaney's except that he didn't have a stem cell transplant. His sister was not a match, and his doctor's recommended that he go through three rounds of chemo instead. He was in remission from August through February but relapsed. Like Delaney, Steve also receive Mylotarg. It initially worked, but only for a few days. He then received more chemo to get ready for a cord blood transplant. Unfortunately, on the last biopsy before the transplant, Steve relapsed again. We lost him to pneumonia (with leukemia in his lungs) just a few days later.
Our hearts go out to your family as we know what a rough, painful journey fighting AML can be. Your daughter is so beautiful! You must miss her so much.

Dear Kevin;
You are headed for great things, I can just tell. Tennis and roller coasters, huh??? Tennis Pro/Engineering degree!!
Love it!!! Really though, getting though elementary school is a really good goal too!!! I'm sure your parents and Guardian Angel are so proud of you. You have lots of wind beneath your wings. It's tough to be a kid, and it sounds like you've been doing some special things and having some fun along the way. Thank you for your update. We care alot. Dianne Roth

Hi Wright family,
Just checking in. It is amazing to me how we as parents have so much on us at times, but God is so good. He helps us through these rough times and gives us others to lean on too. I really enjoy reading your updates, even tho I did not know Delaney, I felt as if I did by writing to you when she was in the hospital. It helps me get through the days to know that others are experiencing the same kind of pain and also joy from the other kids. That Kevin sounds like a great kid. God Bless you all...gina

Kevin (and Mom too!)
Thanks for the update. I continue to check in each day to see if perhaps there is an update and also just to look at Delaney's photos and say a prayer. Even though I have never met any of you, I was still very inspired by Delaney through her journal and continue to think of her! Kevin, I'm so glad you are enjoying your tennis. I was a tennis player all through high school (I hate to admit that this year is my 20th reunion of my graduation!) Tennis is a sport you can continue to play even at my old age!! Last year for fun, I entered our city tennis tournament after not picking up a racket for about 18 years!! It was really run, but kind of frustrating too when I would try and do a drop shot or overhead and nothing was working the way it used to!!! I did succeed in aceing my opponent 4 times though, so that was my highlight!! I can't imagine going on all the rollercoasters with you though. I would be like your dad, sitting with the cameras!! My daughter, Rachel is 12 and she is playing on the girl's fastpitch traveling team this year and also playing tennis. My son, Robbie is 9 also, and he is a pitcher on his baseball team and has started playing tennis this year too! Keep up the good work, but don't run your Mom and Dad too hard. God's blessings on all of you!

I know that they are both playing together now, with no pain and no suffering. Please take care, I am only an email away.

I hope you are doing ok. I am getting by. Morgans birthday is June 1st. It will also be 6 months since we lost her. I can not believe it. It just seems so unreal. I hope Delaney had a great big party with all her FRIENDS! I hope they are all together just having a ball... take care and keep in touch, love, gina (morgans mom)

Dear Angel Delaney, We bought some new Limited Edition Powerpuff Girls ice cream and ate it yesterday in your honor. We all thought of you.

We saw your family and gave each other big hugs. We miss you all very much. Coral said that she knows that you were there with us during the celebration and the baseball game. I hope you played with the balloon that your family let go for you. You will forever be in our hearts and always be a champion! All our love, Cynthia, Coral, Kylie and Braden Avery

Delaney,
I was thinking about you today and just had to come and look at your pictures. Even though I never got to meet you. . . you really touched my heart. I just loved to come and look at your smile, what a beautiful little girl. Now a beautiful angel, they say that God only takes the best. . . I don't understand why, but someday when my turn comes, I need to ask him all about this plan of His. Until then I have to believe. . . Delaney, continue to watch over your family and give them the comfort that only you can give. God bless your entire family. Soar each day Delaney . . . until later

Amy,
I clicked onto the website today, thinking of Delaney. I chair blood drives a few times a year and often,in my own heart, dedicate the drive to someone who has needed blood transfusions or had a blood-related cancer. Next week's will be Delaney's--again--because I am thinking about you on Mother's Day and her in heaven...I copied the poem on the site and will send it to my sister who has also lost a child. I wrote you before because I somehow feel connected to Delaney, with her having been transplanted on my birthday and becoming an angel on the anniversary of my diagnosis of an acute leukemia. I am remembering her and wanted you to know that even though I never met her or you. I just know she was an incredible girl and that her brother Kevin is an incredible boy!

here the children laughing and playing up in Heaven with that beautiful face just a shining. Delaney had such a pretty smile. I'll always remember her and fight she gave. She has a very

That poem is really beautiful and I'm sure that is how Delaney is feeling looking down on us all. As we are here on earth in pain and sorrow, she is frolicking up in Heaven. That is sort of comforting, yet still so sad. I continue to check on you guys and think about you often.

They are doing well and staying strong. Your brother said at your "celebration of life" that he wanted to go to Magic Mountain. We thought the weekend after your birthday would be a great time. We will continue to pray for them, and we feel your love always. Happy Birthday, Miss D.

Happy Birthday Delaney. You are one year older today.
We will celebrate your birthday, even tho you've passed away.
If I could give you anything, I'd give you anything you'd wish. I'd made you a necklace of daisys or blow you a simple kiss.
I'd color the clouds pink, throw a "happy birthday" banner in the sky. Sew a beautiful magic carpet so together we could fly.
I'd capture a million butterflies for you, or give you a single white dove. I'd catch a falling star, from the midnight sky above.
I'd give you beautiful dresses so you could dance around and play. I'd give you your own kitty, and make it spring everyday.
I'd give you anything you'd wish, because I love you so much Miss D. But the one thing I'd want to give you, is your presence here with me.
Happy Birthday, Delaney. I love you.

Hi Delaney, tomorrow is your birthday and I just wanted to remind you to make a wish before you blow out your candles :) I have been working on a poem for you but it isn't finished. Here's what I have so far..it still needs a little work though.
~
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday darling, you are not a year older, for you will never grow old.
Happy Birthday Blossom, for you are strong and brave. You had the power to change people's lives and give them faith.
Happy Birthday kitty, or Victoria as you called yourself. Even on bad days your strength and curiousity continued to show. I thought cats only have 9 lives, you lived a life of a thousand.
Happy Birthday "Miss D' for your attitude was unique and special in every way possible!
Happy Birthday angel, for your smile touched everyone who met you.
Happy Birthday Delaney for you are my hero and always will be!!
~
Well Delaney tell your brother I will see him this weekend and we will ride the BIG rides (but i think he will have to hold my hand, i get a little scared) Love, Marissa

A Special Birthday
Please God, make them rember that
Today is a special birthday.
Make them understand that
The memories don't go away.
Bless them with ears to hear
And hearts that care.
Enable them to listen while I share
Shelter them that they may
never now my pain.
Help them to help me know
That my child's life was not in vain
Help them to remember Lord
That I wish that my child was here,
So we could celebrate
Help them to understand that I still feel
The nearness of my child
Help them to see beyond my smile
and the words,
"I'm OKAY".
Please God, just let one remember today
IS A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY

Hi, Amy, Bob, Kevin, and Angel Delaney,
Whenever I need a reminder of why we at the San Diego chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Cycling Team in Training are training and raising money to cure blood cancer, I check on your wonderful web site. I am so sorry I'll never have the chance to meet Delaney face to face like our cycling coordinator Christina did. We'll be thinking of Delaney as we do our hundred miles around Lake Tahoe on June 2d, secure in the thought that she too is in a beautiful place helping us in our efforts to help others. Bless all of you.

Happy Easter my sweet Delaney! I remember so vividly the Easters we have shared together. We would re-hide the Easter eggs all morning long, while you and Kevin would have fun finding them each time. I also remember you wearing your pink bunny ears for days before Easter. You would wear them in school or while we were out and about. Your princess style together with the whimsical bunny ears would bring a smile to everyone you saw. You had a special way of sharing your life with those around you. Love forever,
Mom, Dad and Kevin <Wright_Amy@hotmail.com>

Discussions of Angel Delaney are always heartfelt and sad but necessary in the healing of everyone who she touched. Coral has a picture of her and Delaney hanging above her bed and she tells her goodnight every evening before bed.

My heart just goes out to you for what you have been through and it makes me so sad to read! God be with you.
We lost a very special friend of my son's when they were both 7 (he's now 17) and we never have forgotten what we went through with him. So many campaigns to raise money for bone marrow and pounding the streets - etc. It's just not fair - we still put flowers on his grave every year!

Amy,
I am very sorry for the loss of you daughter Delaney. She is absolutely beautiful. I have spent some time reading through your journal and your guestbook. There are no words to describe the sadness in a mothers heart when we lose our children. It amazes me how many children have lost their courageous battles to this dreadful disease. Hopefully during our lifetime a cure will be discovered.
I don't know how I have managed to get through the days without my daughter.....she was my entire life. We are coming up on 8 months this week. I don't know how I have made it through the days.....
I send my condolences to you and your family.....and many hugs your way....I will keep your family in my prayers....
I hope our children are together in Heaven.....Briana loved to be "mother hen" to children younger then herself.

Dear Bob and Amy,
I had not one inkling that you were going through this "journey" with Delaney. It saddens me deeply to learn Delaney is no longer "on earth" with you and your family.
You and your family hold a special place, in my real estate experience, as clients remembered with great fondness and appreciation. 'A model family.'
As to Delaney, specifically, I remember her as being so beautiful, delightful and full of energy and wonder.
Creating the website and sharing day by day developments in all that you went through, was so helpful to those who cared...and your photos. It does not seem possible that you could have done anything more than what you did....
How difficult...I don't know many parents who would have attempted to share what you and Delaney were experiencing in such a communicative way. Bravo and kudos!
Words cannot adequately express the shock...
I would, very much, want to stop by for a brief visit to say hello. Thank you for creating the Delaney Fund. What a tribute! I would certainly wish to contribute.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time and for Delaney, your sweet Angel.

It is a great one! We set it aside to include it with the other photos of you and your Mom we are using for your memory book. Macy thinks of you often and sends you special hugs and kisses!

Dear Amy -
Maximilian is 17, not five, but he still has a liking for stuffed animals (new-age kind of guy). And he has a Siam cat exactly like the one Delaney has in the photo - although he calls his Zafir. So, although of course I didn't know her, I often think of Delaney when I see Zafir!
I had read most of your journal, and entries from September on the BMT list, and because you expressed yourself so well and shared so much with us, somehow I have picked up a little of Delaney's spirit. My daughter Montserrat, who is 12, also knew about Delaney and still thinks of her. She would undoubtedly have been a beautiful, powerful woman had that terrible disease not taken her over.
Thank you for the poem, too - it tells people what they should do to help those who are grieving so much.
Sending my love to you, Bob and Kevin,
Gloria

Dear Amy,
I have looked at your website so much. I am so taken by Delaney's pictures. She IS absolutely adorable. I will never understand why this has happened to our children.
The more time that passes (16 months for me) the more it hurts. I can't stand that I have not been a "mom" for that long. I know I will always be a mom, but I am not doing any mommy "things" now. Georgiana was my only little girl. I miss her!
Take care..

It's been 2 months today. Two very long months since you have left us. Your parting has affected the entire family. Marissa and Caitlin both cry a lot. I try to be strong and tell them all the right things. It is hard--so very hard. Especially, since I share their tears. We think of you everyday. I hope you are with Grandma Betty and the others who went to Heaven before you. God be with you and all those who love you.

Well, Miss D., your family was here for a visit. We had a great time. They are "amazing" people. So caring, so full of life. We talked about you, our last visit with you, and how much we all missed you. We still can't understand while your life with us was so short, but we are blessed to have spent it with you. Your big brother skied and snow boarded. He did great!!! You would have been proud of him. Your dad, Mike, Kevin, and Caitlin went skiing/boarding for two days. Your mom and I shopped for 2 days. We all did what we do best!!! We think of you always. We send our love, we hope you feel it, because we sure feel yours.

They, along with your big brother are coming to visit us on Thurday. I know that they need some time away from San Diego and all that they have been through. So glad they will spend that time with us. They are struggling, but staying strong -- something they learned from you. I know that we will all be thinking of you, reflecting on the past year, and remembering all the wonderful times we had together. We love you!!!

Querida familia:
Me siento miembro de esa familia universal de padres como yo, que hemos perdido a un hijo por el motivo que sea.
Comparto el dolor por la pérdida de su hija y les deseo que Dios les ayude a soportar el vacío que deja su ausencia.
I believe it's the hardest thing on life and there are no words to explain those feelings. I'm the father of 'Santi',(Santiago García Alcubilla) the second boy of this Memorial Wall list, who also died of leukemia in 1997 when he was only 6 years old.
The mornig he died, I was alone with him in hospital, and I felt of the sadness of the world, and that moments became to me like 'the day after' (I imagine: la misma devastación y desolación tras la explosión de una bomba nuclear...!)
I'm sorry of your loss and I wish you the best.
God bless you all.
Excuse me for mixing both languages.
Yours sincerely.

Dear Amy, Bob and Kevin,
My daughter Bryten played with Delaney in their kindergarten class. I remember Bryten one day after school so excited telling me that she played with her special friend Delaney and that they had fun. I later learned that Delaney had leukemia. I told Bryten that Delaney was indeed a very special friend. When we learned of Delaney passing away I explained to Bryten that her special friend was in heaven now. Bryten pondered on my explaination long and hard and finally said "Well now I have a new angel with my Grandpa." Then when we were star gazing one night recently, Bryten pointed to a big twinkling star and said "Mommy look--that's Delaney! She's saying hi to me." I am happy that my daughters life was touched by Delaney. Bryten is comforted by knowing that her Grandpa has someone special to play with in heaven. My heart and prayers go out to you all. God bless you!

Amy,
Michelle asked me the other day if I had heard anything about how Delaney was doing. I was crushed when I checked your web site. Words cannot express our condolensces. She was (and is) a beautiful girl. I can't imagine what you are going through. As we may have mentioned, our second daughter, Brittany, left to be with the Lord when she was almost 2. (she drowned in my parents pool). I can remember thinking I would not be able to go on. My faith that she is in a better place, where there is no sickness or pain, is what got me through the really dark moments.
Your and your family will be in our prayers.

A gift that was given from a young girl who has passed,
it is my treasure forever it will last.
The fur is worn from being cuddled so many nights,
the dress is faded pink, the bow is tied on tight.
Her nose is no longer pink, still there is a smile upon her face, her fur is no longer white, compared to the silky lace.
It was her favorite kitty, one she loved very much,
it brings back memories with just a simple touch.
I won't keep it locked away, I will cherish it like she did,
it is my special treasure from such a special kid.

Praise God that your beloved Delaney is so much more than an angel now! She is whole and she joyfully and expectantly awaits in the presence of our heavenly Father for that glorious morning when the dead in Christ shall rise; when we, who have also believed, are caught up with them to meet our Lord with whom we shall be forever where there is no death, sorrow, crying nor pain. I am so grateful to a Saviour that brings His comfort and His peace in even this, our most cutting and enduring pain. I will grieve the rest of my life. I will, however, grieve in hope, precious hope, for I will hold my Anna again. I pray you might also have this peace.

To all the brave families of children who are seriously ill...you are all an inspiration. What a loving group of people and such lovely entries in the guestbooks. You are all one big family united under such trying circumstances. I pray God gives you all the strength to continue to encourage each other, even when one of your children become angels like Delaney has. Take care and God bless you. Love: Marlene (Pixie)
