My angels crib was next to my bed
I was so young I had just turned eighteen
He was so beautiful from his toes to his head
That little angel was the best little baby I had ever seen

Taking care of this little angel was a pleasure
Every day I would hold him I knew he was a treasure

I had never even heard the crib death
My little angel was with me for twenty eight days
I will never forget waking up early one morning to find he had been taken away by the angel of death
It helps me to think God had loaned him to me for twenty eight days

He is the little angel that is the brightest star
When I look in the skies I can see he is not gone very far

Such a sad write..such a very awful thing to have happen..
I cannot say I know how you feel..
As a mother..I can only imagine..
I'm so sorry for your loss.
~Heart Hugs, Nancy~


~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
dancing with you in the summer rain~

Rita, you know me well enough to know that
I really am at a loss of words about this...even
though that doesn't happen to me very often. I
just never know what to say. So, I will just say
that you know I'm here to listen any time that you
ever need to talk. Okay, friend?
Heart hugs,
Ethel

So sad carol. Yet this little spirit blessed you and all who knew him. Now, we are blessed to celebrate his short but shining life with you. hugs, Chris
