 A photo of Baby Shiloh Baby Shiloh's DreamYou lie here, hooked to monitors and tubes. Buttery ringlets frame your angelic face. Robbed of breath at the age of one; you dawdle in limbo; I pray for your return. Mute, placid, adrift on angel wings you travel. What do you see in this dream that keeps you from awakening? Are you warm and aglow, or in a silent shadow where I can not enter and you can not escape. Can you feel Grandma's love when I kiss your soft warm cheek? Do you feel my heart pounding against your limp body when I hold you in an embrace? Is the tear I see in the corner of your eye a physical response, or a sign of hope? I'm knocking on your slumber and pleading for you to Please! Wake up! How I wish I knew, if you are trapped in turbulence or enveloped by angelic hymns. ~~~~~~~****~~~~~~~ Shiloh is my grandson and he almost drowned 3 years ago... He is still in a coma.

Thank you so much for your kind words and compassion. Yes, for those who pray thanks for the prayers.... My dear grandson would need a complete healing miracle. We have *not* given up hope.  ((~.~)) |

I've been to your website and read all about Shiloh. . . my heart goes out to you. . . we've made miracles happen before. . . there's always a second time. . . ---------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

My prayers too are with you. I feel selfish in saying that I'm glad I'm not nor have been in this position but have had those dark daydreams before. I would be tempted to read to the child and I'll wager you do. God bless. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

Oh Flutterwings~ This is so bittersweetly beautiful. You and your grandson are in my prayers. This was a tearjerker, I am truly sorry for what has happened, but, I have hope that God will answer our prayers~ Melissa~ |

 Shiloh, the little  wants to thank each and everyone of you for the prayers and sending positive energy his way. This picture was before the accident... The other picture on top of the poem was from Geocities and it did not come out. ((~.~)) |

Maggie, Well you know how I feel and my arms and heart have been and always will be open for you. You know I love you all and you are always in my prayers, always. Hope you don't mind I copied to my site and moved one here for you: This is Shiloh After his accident  God Bless This Wee Soul For He Is Our LessonIf you are wondering where the picture went (Geocities won't let you take their bandwidth and link to that site. You are welcome to use my homepage to store pictures. ~ You do this dance only once ~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 07-19-2001).] |

to be cradled in the Father's hands so closely is surely Shiloh's gift to be cradled in the hearts of all who know of him and his life, a miracle for certain where there is life, there is hope the life God chooses, ultimately for Shiloh, will be pure perfection for him in fact, just think what Shiloh's life is doing for many right now...uniting them to proclaim the Father's will, amen... |

Oh Flutterwings, you know you are welcome - what would the world be without your gentle, sweet pictures, hugs, and loving words. Thank you for the flowers they were lovely. Oh...and in the bouquet was a 'flutterby'! Ah hah...Tripod won't let you use their graphics either (remember that Maggie), just tried one and it vanished! Oh well, it was cute, a little girl holding flowers, lol! ~ You do this dance only once ~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 07-19-2001).] |
