His Name Is Anthony there will be no lullabies just silence in the night for you went on a journey and have taken off in flight words just ring so empty and drown within the tears you will not be forgotten your name will ring for years how you can love and miss someone you have never even met it is but our breaking hearts that will never forget its not our place to question we just don’t understand the why and if you are watching and see us sad we just don’t want to say goodbye for my grandson Anthony born June 29, 2008 died June 29, 2008 |

Your writing expresses with tender, sad emotion this life moment --- and I'm so very sad for your loss. |

Helen, I can not express the sadness I am feeling for you and your family right now. I wish we could understand times like these, but ours is not to question why. I sometimes wonder if perhaps it is to remind us just how very precious each of us truly are individually, and to each other? I just wished I lived closer to give you a heart hug. |

DearestFriend~ How my heart ached reading this ... with eyes leaking I can tell you that I know there is a new little angel in the Heavens this night ...  Anthony ... Anthony ... I hear the tinkle of his sweet Heavenly sigh~ Holding you and your son and Rachel in the tender of prayer vigil~ May the Lord-of-your-knowing grant you all comfort and peace~ Great BIG *HUGLETS*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Oh - I too am sorry. I will never forget a friend of mine that held her baby, Katherine was her babie's name, for two hours before the baby passed. As sad as my friend was, she told me later she felt blessed because Katherine knew nothing but the love and comfort of a mother and father while she was one this earth, and then the love of her Father when she went to Heaven. I will say a little prayer for you and Anthony. |

This is a favorite of mine that gave me comfort when my daughter passed away. I just want to share it with you. BE LIKE THE BIRD Be like the bird, who halting in his flight on a limb too slight Feels it give way beneath him. Yet sings Knowing he hath wings. Victor Hugo |

My friend, my heart... Child Of The Stars When night reaches out caressing my mind with daylight around me fading, when stars are not points of light in the sky but torch light reminders of terrors I've seen, I know I must pause and retrace my steps before I let slip reality's reins. When morning sits and waits for dawn beneath the solace of the brightest stars I always seem to be awake waiting with it; my fears on hold, my timing checked, my thoughts in retrospect critique the evening's passage through open doors and memories of my dreams. Child of the stars your secret's safe with me; without anniversary, or marking time, I celebrate the memory of your briefly focused life in the morning when I know I have survived. ©2003 by icebox |

Like Maureen, I also tried several times to reply, but couldn't. Hugs, tears, prayers for warm comfort for you, your son and Rachel. Anthony may be so very, very, very young, but he knows more than all of us, for we see through a glass darkly, but he sees face to face and is smiling down his loving care on all of his loving family. - Owl |

When I read what icebox wrote...the lump in my throat was the size of a grapefruit. It is always devastating when a newborn doesn't make it through that first day.  hugs to the whole family, lady Helen. |
