a b~day poem just for you / Mommy Today Is Your Birthday
Today is your Birthday Sweet baby, dear We wish that we could hold you We wish that you were here Did you get a cake today? With candles gleaming bright? One candle today If you were here we might Bake that cake for you With princesses on top We'd use bright colors of pink and purple But, if we made it today, We'd have to stop Because we can't send it to Heaven We can't deliver it to you We can't hold you or give you hugs But....We promise not to be blue Your party is everyday Beyond the gates of pearly white Your birthday is sure to be grand Angels everywhere - it must be a sight So We'll just close our eyes And imagine you here with us We'll hold you in our arms And in our hearts for eternity.
Love you forever and always Mommy, Daddy, & Big Sis Ella
A poem I came across that made me think of Amy... / Sheina Taylor (Uncle's Girlfriend )
The Cord.
We are connected, My child and I. By an invisible cord Not seen by the eye.
Its not like the cord That connects us 'til birth. This cord cant be seen By any on earth.
This cord does its work Right from the start. It binds us together Attached to my heart.
I know that its there Though no one can see. The invisible cord From my child to me.
The strength of this cord Is hard to describe. It cant be destroyed It cant be denied.
Its stronger then any cord Man could create. It withstands the test Can hold any weight.
And though she is gone Though shes 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 life line As never before.
I am thankful that god Connects us this way. A mother and her child Death cant take away.
It will be 1 year soon :o( / Mommy (mommy) It is hard to believe that you have been gone for almost a year now. I have this beautiful poem I am putting in the newspaper on your birthday. It just doesn't seem right at all. I have healed and it seems that others around have too but you will always be in my heart that will part that has a beautiful pink band~aid on it that says my special angel who got her wings too soon. Dad and I talk a lot about you and help big sis Ella understand more. She still has a hard time with other people and their babies. She always asked why they get to keep their babies and why Hazel isn't here and why we didn't get to keep you. It hurts soo bad to explain to her that god had different plans for you. He thought you would do better as an angel up there then here. She is always singing songs about you! She will be playing with her babies or swinging on her playset and start singing about you. I really don't know how much she understands but feel she understands enough to know that you are missing in her heart and everyone elses. I will be honest that I am ok with you not here with us. I feel that god has a special angel mommy taking excellent care of you just like she would of with her own child. I know that I will never forget you but know it is ok to move forward in our life. I will never be able to bring you back but know that you will help us with our future. Yes we are going to try for a sibling for you and Ella and yes I will always consider you my 2nd child no matter what. When people ask how many children I have~ I say"2 beautiful girls". Ella and Hazel. Ella is 5 and Hazel is our special angel who got her wings at birth. Saying this people usually don't say much more :o) I feel good saying that because it is the truth and I have nothing to be ashamed of. You are our special angel and I think we are pretty special to have our own special angel looking over us :o) Well hope you have met alot of nice and fun people. I know that you probably had no probably finding friends. Your big sis Ella has no problem either. Sorry if I haven't wrote in awhile. I still think of you and then get busy with life and forget how time flies by and then days start flier too. I just want you to know one thing~I WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOU IN MY HEART FOREVER & ALWAYS-I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU SOO MUCH!
only the best / Stephanie Medlin ONLY THE BEST •~~ A Heart of Gold stopped beating, Two shining eyes at rest. God broke our hearts to prove He only takes The Best. God knows you had to leave us, But you did not go alone ~ For part of us went with you, The day He took you Home. To some you are forgotten, To others just the past. But to us who loved and lost you, Your memory will always last.

* Best Angel Friends * A beautiful little angel showed up to Heaven's gates Confused and unknowing the plan that for him awaits. Then another little angel walked up and took his hand and said, "Please don't be sad you left, you're in the Promised Land." "I'm glad to be here but I do not think I was to go, Perhaps there was a mistake, for my mommy wanted me so." The little greeting angel gave a sweet smile and said, "My mommy wanted me too, but to Heaven I was led. You see, we do not get to choose when on Earth it's time to go. He gave us life, love and joy and a mother's womb to grow. The Lord still needs new angels to guide them down on earth. To watch over, comfort them, and help them see their worth." "Is there still a way that I can sleep in my mommy's bed?" The greeting angel grinned and said, "that luxury you'll keep. I visit my mommy nightly and softly sing her to sleep." The little angel replied, "then I think I'll like it here. I'll visit my mommy nightly and weaken her pain and fears. I love her and will keep her safe at night and in between, And let her know with a sweet memory that she is still with me." The greeting angel gave her new friend a big hug and said, "Until our mommy's meet us here, let's be best angel friends." "Okay," said the new angel, "that sounds good to me." Then the angels sat and played keeping their mommy's in sight, Humming the tunes to the song they would sing to their mommy's tonight...

Happy Birthday / Uncle Mike &. Sheina (Uncle & His Girlfriend )
You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate My birthday way up here I know you’re missing me today I feel your essence near.
God planned a special day for me He told me with 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 That 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 Angel’s 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
Happy 2nd Birthday to the most beautiful Angel! We love you so much! ~Uncle Mike & Sheina

Poem :o( / Sheina Taylor (Uncle Mike's Girlfriend )
I have a daughter who now lives with God above, I never got to know her and I never knew her love, I have a daughter whose heart once beat close to mine, I never knew her beauty for I never got the time, For my daughter, she was taken before the dawn could break, She's now sleeping in my heart where her share of love she takes. When I see my children who now walk here by my side, There's a sweet image of my daughter mirrored in their eyes, When I see a rose bud dropped to the ground too soon, It reminds me of my baby who was gone before she bloomed, If God should stand before me and grant me one last wish, I'd wish my baby in my arms to on his head bestow a kiss. I know I have my children who to me are very dear, But there's an empty place within my life for which I shed a tear, So I question God each day as to why she couldn't stay, Why my daughter was given to me then silently taken away, But I know I have to be patient and wait till I go home, Then within the grounds of God's heavenly home my daughter and I will roam

My Angel Baby
To the baby that I carried But never seen your eyes Or tell you how much I loved you Or ever to hear your cries. You will never be forgotten The excitement we had for your coming. When I realized I'd never hold you, The feeling I had was numbing. My angel baby is who you are. My angel baby you'll always be. Your loving memory will live in my heart So you will always be right here with me.
Almost a year / Stephanie Medlin (Soon-to-be- AUNT )Read >>
Almost a year / Stephanie Medlin (Soon-to-be- AUNT ) I saw these poem and thought of our precious angel Miss Hazel. She is always here watching over us! Everywhere we are there she WILL be. :)
Was It You? A butterfly flew by my window today. Was it you? A cool breeze kissed my face today. Was it you? The sun warmed my soul today. Was it you? It must be you. I see you every time I close my eyes. You are in my every thought. You are a quiet part of me. I love you
Once In A While.
Once in a while a child comes into this world so special that the angels need this precious one to sing in heaven and light up the world from above.

YOU WILL FOREVER BE MISSED MISS HAZEL! UNCLE AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! Close
.../ Sheina Taylor (Uncle's Girlfriend )
Amy, we aren't extremely close and we don't talk about Hazel or how you feel...I'm really glad I got to read your new post on Hazel's site. I feel really blessed to know you and your family. I didn't understand at first just how horrible the feeling is to lose a child [and will never completely understand] but I have watched you over the past year and have learned a lot and have grown to admire you and your strength. You are an amazing woman who has come a long way. I love you... Close
On Mothers Day / Stephanie Medlin
I know this weekend will be a tough one but be comforted to know that we all love you and are here for you. Rejoice in the fact of something you once told me that I will never forget. That YOU gave birth to two beautiful children and that is all that matters! I will never forget those words, you will never know the affect they had on me. Amy, I have seen you grow so much in these last few hard months, and you are amazing. I know Miss Hazel is so proud and I know Ellab is so blessed to have you as a mother. So as hard as this weekend will be rejoice in the fact that you have two beautiful little girls, one who happens to be a precious angel! I love you so much and am always here for you! Close
The road that was once bumpy is becoming smoother / Mommy (mommy)Read >>
The road that was once bumpy is becoming smoother / Mommy (mommy)
Well it has been almost six months since Hazel has pasted and everyday I think why? Well the answer will never be found! That upsets me in some way and also makes me wonder if I really deep down want to know! I have seen my doctor on alot of the issues I have incountered since the death of Hazel. It has been a long, tiring road to walk on but gradually it has been getting better with time. I found out that it is ok to be happy and that it is ok to not talk to her for a day or two. I will never forget her but things become more important at that time. I don't need to feel quilty for everything I do. It is ok to move forward. Knowing this has helped me become stronger for her and for Ella. It has honestly made me a better parent for Ella and hopefully someday another one. Ella has talked alot about Hazel and how she would be happy with another sibling. I would really like to have another one but I don't know if there is a time that would be right. Moving forward is scarey. I feel that if I do I am forgetting about Hazel and if we do have another will I be replacing her. Wow my head hurts from thinking so hard about this. This is something my doctor says takes time. You will gradually allow yourself the time and know when it is right. She also said that you will not be replacing Hazel at all. That it is ok to move forward with your life. It has helped alot talking about the crazy feelings I have and that I am going to be ok! I love Hazel and always will. Ella sits in her room and reads the books and plays with the toys that were once theirs(ella & hazels)and talks to herself and she brings in her babies and tells them that this is Hazel's room but maybe someday another baby will have this room. Hearing her on the monitor talking makes me ache for Hazel. It is hard to understand what Ella really thinks of all of this. She has been strong but I wish I could get in her little brain and see what she is really feeling. I know her doctor says she is doing fine, but it makes me wonder if she hurts too. She sees Paul & I crying and knows it is about Hazel but she just tells us that she is a precious angel that looks down on us and keeps us safe. Wow alot for a 4 year to say to her grieving parents. I always wonder if she will be ok in the long run with everything she has encountered in her childhood. I just want her to be happy and if we do have another one I don't want her to be hurt again. My doctor keeps telling us that everything will be ok when we have another but the fear is still there. Nobody thinks your baby is going to die. Nobody thinks that she/he might be stillborn. Nothing like that crosses your mind. When it does happen it something you don't want to believe. Everything runs through your mind like-why? what did I do wrong? maybe this is a dream and it really isn't happening! crazy thoughts run through your head! 6 months of grieving has taken a toll on me and my family. I have been feeling better about myself and gradually think the road i'm on it going to be a good one. Hazel will always be our 2nd child no matter what and we think that we are a pretty special family to have such a precious angel watching over us! Thank you to everyone that has been part of our healing process. Without you we have no clue how we could of done it and will continue doing it. Close
I feel your pain / Michelle Treece (mom to an angel )
I know there are no words anyone can say to you to take the pain away from you, I lost my daughter Alexis at 33 weeks pregnant in 2005. I have to say I am so sorry for your loss. I know what you are going thru. It has been almost 3 years since I held her tiny little body and kisees her goodbye. I still think of her everyday, wonder what today would be like if she were here. I have since had 2 children eho I know have the greatest angel watching over them everyday. Your little angel is watching over you and her family everyday, know that you will have her in your arms again someday.
Take care, Michelle

My Deepest Sympothy / Kristin (Cousin of Steph )
I am a cousin of Steph's, Amy's good friend. I just came across this website in an email that Steph had sent me and thought I would check it out. Amy, this site has truly touched me. Little Hazel is beautiful and sure does make a gorgeous little angel. I can't say that I understand what you are going through or that I know how you feel but I do want to say that I am so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to understand why things happen the way they do but God must have a reason. I pray that time will heal your pain and that you will enjoy every minute of every day with the beautiful daughter God has left you with, Ella. I know you don't really know me but you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Close

trying to survive without you :o( / Mommy Ducat (her mommy )
It was really hard not having you here with us. You were always on all of our minds. Thank you so much for being there it helped knowing that you were there in my heart. I just thought of how cute you would have looked in your x-mas dress with a red ribbon in your hair( you know your big sis Ella never had hair until she was two) you came out with beautiful reddish brown hair. In one ultrasound they showed me your hair waving away in my belly. I was so excited to be able to do your hair. Bows, ribbons, barrettes, and headbands. Well hope your x-mas up there with all your friends and family went well. I miss you so much. Please know you are always on my mind even if I get angry and upset that you aren't here with me. It is so hard to see the next years without you. Watch over us and please make sure we stay strong! I know his has a bigger mission for you but we really need the strength of you to help us continue on. We know you are safe and surrounded by love but missed so deeply here by us. We talk about you all the time it is just so hard to think it has been 3 months. It shouldn't be that long or not at all. Reality has somewhat set in. Not excepting this world is the hardest for me. I look around and wonder why you, why us? I look at others and wonder why not them? They don't love those children like we love you! And also reading in the newspaper and seeing how people are killing and abusing their children and wonder why not them? why were you the one taken from such a loving family that had everything for you. everything needed for that special baby hazel to come home too? It is so upsetting to look at the world and never get answers. I can also see why so many rush into having another one. not to replace but to feel that emptiness you have. I would never replace you but would love to have a baby to hold and to love for-forever. please understand that when or if that day comes that we aren't replacing you at all. We only want you! I really don't know how long it will be but i have alot to work out before that time. I still sit in your room(left it exactly the way it would be if you were in it) and think that maybe, just maybe you really aren't gone you are just growing inside me again and that none of this really did happen. I know it seems crazy but i feel so empty inside. I just think maybe i should of did things different, held you more, gave you your first bath, something more. Maybe even did things different when you were inside me. I really don't know but just maybe something would have made you stay here with us not be taken away! I could go on and on but nothing i know will make things different. I can wish right! Well precious just know I love you so much! I will never forget about you! You will always be that tug on my heart, that bright shining star, and that tear that i cry whenever i wish you were here with me! I LOVE YOU HAZEL VIRGINIA DUCAT FOREVER AND ALWAYS! Close

Sometimes life’s most precious things Slip too quickly from our hands... Snowflakes, rainbows, childhood, Castles in the Sand.
God gave us a special spot to preserve them in our hearts; A forever place where all we love lingers when we part.

I pray that God gives you and me the strength and understanding that we need in order to make it through another day. I lost Noah on Sept. 24, 2007, the same day that you lost precious Hazel. My world ended on that day, but I know that I have to be strong for my son, Zion, but how??? I feel your pain... She was a beautiful baby girl. Just like Noah, she was too perfect for this world! God bless you and your family! Feel free to visit Noah's site and light a candle so that I know you were there... - Leslie Close
