This is a music video that is so touching. The video doesn't come out very clear but the words are so pretty. I hope you're blessed by it. It was sang at a candle light ceremony we attended in honor of Addison in December.  Have Kleenex handy...
Still missing my angel who turned 10 months in heaven Friday. We love you Addison Olivia!
Reagan and Dalton pray for you every night. Mommy and daddy think of you everyday!
Take care everyone,

Amber,
I have this song on mp3.  I love it!  I had never seen the video before now and I also thought it was wonderful.  The empty picture frames made a big impact on the video I think.  I also thought that was a neat site.  I will have to go there more often.  Thank you so much for sharing that with us.  I too went to a candle lighting ceremony in honor of my Brianna in December.  I am sure the one you attended was wonderful.
 
Much Love
Marie

Amber, this link takes me to a bunch of different songs and I'm not sure which one you are referring to ... Any help would be welcome as I just LOVE those types of songs.

Thanks,

Jackie,
I'm sorry. I think I sent out the song "I Can Only Imagine" Some have had problems getting it to come up. I did to start with and I guess I was just so determined to keep trying it different ways until I finally got it to come up. Someone from anencephaly blessings from above sent it via email. Then I realized it was one of the same songs sung at a memorial service for Addison. I had to figure out how to download it then.
 
Hope you can get it figured out. I am thinking about trying to locate the cd. If I find it, I will post the words.
 
Take care,
Amber

This is a bit long but WELL worth the reading.
God Bless
Marie
Subject: FW: How big is your storm?

 

 

Stop telling God how big your storm is.
Instead tell your storm how big your GOD is.

In Phoenix, Arizona, a 26-year-old mother stared  down at her 6 year old son, who was dying of  terminal leukemia. Although her heart was filled with sadness, she also had a strong feeling of  determination. Like any parent, she wanted her    son to grow up and fulfill all his dreams. Now  that was no longer possible...The leukemia would see to that. But she still wanted her son's dreams to come true. She took  her son's hand and asked, "Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew  up? Did you ever dream and wish what you would do with your life?"
Mommy, "I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up."
Mom smiled back and said, "Let's see if we can make your wish come true."  Later that day she went to her local fire    department in Phoenix, Arizona, where she met  Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix.  She explained her son's final wish and asked if  it might be possible to give her six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine.
Fireman Bob said, "Look, we can do better than  that. If you'll have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an  honorary fireman for the whole day. He can come  down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on  all the fire calls, the whole nine yards! And if
you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a real fire hat-not a toy one-with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots. They're all manufactured right  here in Phoenix, so we can get them fast."

Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his fire uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and  ladder truck. Billy got to sit on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station.
He was in heaven. There were three fire calls in  Phoenix that day and Billy got to go out on all  three calls. He rode in the different fire engines, the paramedic's van, and even the fire chief's car.   He was also videotaped for the local news
program. Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so  deeply touched Billy that he lived three months  longer than any doctor thought possible.

One night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed in the hospice concept that no one should die alone, began to call the family members to the hospital.  Then she remembered the day Billy had spent as a fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and asked  if it would be possible to send a fireman in  uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he  made his transition. The chief replied, "We can do better than that. We'll be there in five  minutes. Will you please do me a favor?   When you hear the sirens screaming and see the  lights flashing, will you announce over the PA  system that there is not a fire? It's just the  fire department coming to see one of its finest  members one more time. And will you open the window to his  room?

About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck  arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder  up to Billy's third floor open window.   16 firefighters climbed up the ladder into  Billy's room. With his mother's permission, they
hugged him and held him and told him how much they loved him. With his dying breath, Billy looked up at the fire chief and said, "Chief, am  I really a fireman now?" "Billy, you are, and the Head Chief, Jesus, is holding your hand," the  chief said.  With those words, Billy smiled and said, "I know,   He's been holding my hand all day, and the angels have been singing.." He closed his eyes one last time.

My instructions were to send this to at least four people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you. Please pass this to at least four  people you want to be blessed. This story is
powerful and there is nothing attached, please do not break this pattern; uplifting stories are one  of the best gifts we receive. There is no cost  but a lot of rewards, let's continue to uplift one another.

Stop telling God how big your storm is. Instead  tell your storm how big your GOD is

25% chance of this happening agaon. I am so upset. Does anyone know
someone who has gone through this? We dont have any signs of this in
our families. I dont understand.

Tasha,
I just wanted to say that my prayers are with you and your family.  I am afraid I do not know what Meckem-Gruber Syndrome is, as I have never heard of it.  How long after you had your baby did you learn of this?  Did you have any genetic testing done?  Since I have never heard of Meckem-Gruber Syndrome I am going to do some research on it.  I wish I had all the answers for you, Tasha.  Just know that The Lord is with you and with your Angelina (what a beautiful name.

Tasha,
I have a friend who lost a baby to Mackel-Gruber.  She is now 25 weeks
pg with a healthy baby, but it has not been an easy trip to get to this
point, but I would be happy to email her and tell her about you and I am
sure that she would be happy to email you.  Let me know.  YOu are in my
thoughts, I can only imagine how hard this is for you.  Do you have any
lining children?

All,
Well, I haven't been very active here, but I do read every digest that
comes my way.  I think of you all often and pray that 2004 is the year
that fulfills all of your dreams.
Just to remind you all of who I am, my name is Paulene and I lost little
Paul Andrew on 11/27/99.  I have since gone on to have 2 healthy boys,
Nathan (who will be 3 in Feb) and Nolan (who is 15 months).  They are
the light of my life, but I still miss their brother so much.  I am a
3rd grade teacher.  That's a quick note about me.  I hope that you all
have a great weekend.

Marie,
How are you doing??  I have been thinking of you!  I still have that
package to send to you and I will I promise.  Life is a bit stressful
right now, but I will try to get it in the mail this week.  Any big
plans for Matthew's birthday???  Hope you are well!!

Love and hugs,
Paulene

Don't start reading this one until you've got more than 3 or 4

minutes. It deserves some time for reflection.


 

I envy Kevin. My brother Kevin thinks God lives under his bed. At least

that's what I heard him say one night.


 

He was praying out loud in his dark bedroom, and I stopped outside

his closed door to listen. "Are you there, God?" he said. "Where are

you? Oh, I see. Under the bed."


 

I giggled softly and tiptoed off to my own room. Kevin's unique

perspectives are often a source of amusement. But that night

something else lingered long after the humor. I realized for the first time

the very different world Kevin lives in.


 

He was born 30 years ago, mentally disabled as a result of difficulties

during labor. Apart from his size (he's 6-foot-2), there are few ways in

which he is an adult. He reasons and communicates with the capabilities

of a7-year-old, and he always will. He will probably always believe that

God lives under his bed, that Santa Claus is the one who fills the space

under our tree every Christmas and that airplanes stay up in the sky

because angels carry them. I remember wondering if Kevin realizes he

is different.


 

Is he ever dissatisfied with his monotonous life? Up before dawn each

day, off to work at a workshop for the disabled, home to walk our

cocker spaniel,return to eat his favorite macaroni-and-cheese for dinner,

and later to bed.


 

The only variation in the entire scheme are laundry, when he hovers

excitedly over the washing machine like a mother with her newborn child.


 

He does not seem dissatisfied. He lopes out to the bus every morning

at 7:05, eager for a day of simple work. He wrings his hands excitedly

while the water boils on the stove before dinner, and he stays up late

twice a week to gather our dirty laundry for his next day's laundry

chores. And Saturdays-oh, the bliss of Saturdays! That's the day my

Dad takes Kevin to the airport to have a soft drink, watch the planes

land, and speculate loudly on the destination of each passenger inside.


 

"That one's goin' to Chi-car-go!" Kevin shouts as he claps his hands.

His anticipation is so great he can hardly sleep on Friday nights.


 

And so goes his world of daily rituals and weekend field trips. He

doesn't know what it means to be discontent. His life is simple. He

will never know the entanglements of wealth of power, and he does not

care what brand of clothing he wears or what kind of food he eats. His

needs have always been met, and he never worries that one day they

may not be.


 

His hands are diligent. Kevin is never so happy as when he is working.

When he unloads the dishwasher or vacuums the carpet, his heart is

completely in it. He does not shrink from a job when it is begun, and he

does not leave a job until it is finished. But when his tasks are done,

Kevin knows how to relax.


 

He is not obsessed with his work or the work of others. His heart is

pure. He still believes everyone tells the truth, promises must be kept,

and when you are wrong, you apologize instead of argue. Free from

pride and unconcerned with appearances, Kevin is not afraid to cry

when he is hurt, angry or sorry. He is always transparent, always

sincere. And he trusts God.


 

Not confined by intellectual reasoning, when he comes to Christ, he

comes as a child. Kevin seems to know God - to really be friends with

Him in a way that is difficult for an "educated" person to grasp.

God seems like his closest companion.


 

In my moments of doubt and frustrations with my Christianity, I envy

the security Kevin has in his simple faith. It is then that I am most

willing to admit that he has some divine knowledge that rises above

my mortal questions. It is then I realize that perhaps he is not the

one with the handicap - I am. My obligations, my fear, my pride, my

circumstances - they all become disabilities when I do not trust them to

God's care. Who knows if Kevin comprehends things I can never learn?

After all, he has spent his whole life in that kind of innocence, praying

after dark and soaking up the goodness and love of God. And one day,

when the mysteries of heaven are opened, and we are all amazed at how

close God really is to our hearts, I'll realize that God heard the simple

prayers of a boy who believed that God lived under his bed. Kevin

won't be surprised at all!


 

When you receive this, say a prayer. That's all you have to do.

There is nothing attached. This is powerful. Just send this to four people

and do not break this, please. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we

receive. There is no cost, but a lot of rewards.

I need your prayers on behalf of my friend.  A friend of mine that has Chron's disease and colon cancer is due on Feb 15 with her little boy.  She has a little girl  that is 5 as well.  Well she woke up yesterday morning at 4a because she was having contractions that were 4 minutes apart.  Thus, she went to the hospital.  They had a hard time finding the baby's heartbeat.  Well finally around 1p they decided to do an emergency cesarean.  What had happened is what happened with some of you.  She had placenta abruption. (tears).  We played the waiting game for a few hours yesterday wondering if my friend and her baby were ok.  Then I get the call that says my friend is ok but the baby died. (tears) This is her second loss.  She lost a baby at 4-5 months about a year and some months ago.  She is in the hospital now and is doing fine at the moment.   I do not think it has hit her yet.  So now I am on the opposite side of things than I was almost a year ago.  I am so sad.  She was thinking she was going into the hospital to have her little boy, but.........................
 
My fiancé is gone out of town today thru friday because of work.  One of my best friends that lives in Cleveland is also friends with the one that just had the baby and wants so bad to be here.  So I am probably going to drive up there and get her.  It is about a 5 to 6 hour drive up there.  Sheesh!  But she really needs to be here.  The funeral is saturday morning. 
 
Could you all just keep my friend in your prayers that she will be ok.  And also for me as I drive up to Cleveland???
 
Thank you all for reading and being so supportive.

Subject: What is your Occupation


A woman named Emily renewing her driver's license at the County
Clerk's office was asked by the woman recorder to state her
occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. "What I
mean is," explained the recorder, "do you have a job, or are you just
a ....?

"Of course I have a job," snapped Emily. "I'm a Mom."

"We don't list 'Mom' as an occupation... 'housewife' covers it,"
said the recorder emphatically.

I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same
situation, this time at our own Town Hall. The Clerk was obviously a
career woman, poised, efficient, and possessed of a high sounding
title like, "Official Interrogator" or "Town Registrar."

"What is your occupation?" she probed.

What made me say it, I do not know... The words simply popped out.

"I'm a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human
Relations."


The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair, and looked up as
though she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly,
emphasizing the most significant words. Then I stared with wonder as my
pronouncement was written in bold, black ink on the official
questionnaire.

"Might I ask," said the clerk with new interest, "just what you do
in your field?"

Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself
reply, "I have a continuing program of research, (what mother
doesn't), in the laboratory and in the field, (normally I would have
said indoors and out).

I'm working for my Masters, (the whole darned family), and already
have four credits, (all daughters). Of course, the job is one of the
most demanding in the humanities, (any mother care to disagree.?.)
and I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more like it). But the job is
more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards are
more of a satisfaction rather than just money."

There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she
completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door.

As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, I
was greeted by my lab assistants - ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could
hear our new experimental model, (a 6 month old baby), in the
child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern. I felt I
had scored a beat on bureaucracy! And I had gone on the official
records as someone more distinguished and indispensable to mankind
than "just another Mom."

Motherhood.....What a glorious career! Especially when there's a title
on the door.

Does this make grandmothers "Senior Research Associates in the field
of Child Development and Human Relations" and great grandmothers
Executive Senior Research Associates"? I think so!!! I also think it
makes Aunts "Associate Research Assistants".

Please send this to another Mom, Grandmother, Aunt, and other
friends you know.

Marie,
I am just so very sorry about your friend. Please tell her that there are many praying for her.
I had a friend who this happened to about the time I lost Addison last year. Needless to say her health was in grave danger and her kidneys went into failure in the process of her baby's birth. It is such a sad state. She's on dialysis now and just found out she's a couple of months pregnant. She's very worried and I am too.
I can't imagine the pain your friend is enduring right now. For us, we knew our baby's outcome. For her, hope was there and now gone. I just hurt so much for her... it just seems so unfair.
I will be praying for you too Marie. You've been through so much yourself. I know you want to be there for your friend but remember to take care of you too. I will pray for your safe trip and for you to be able to comfort her during this time of need AND that you will take care of yourself.
 
Hugs and prayers,
 Amber

Hello everyone!  I made it back from Cleveland at about 1 this morning.  I was so stiff you could not even imagine.  I will never do that again.  I failed my test yesterday by 1 point.  I will take it again next wednesday.  My friend's son's funeral is saturday at 11 am.  My fiance is returning from his work trip tomorrow.  I miss him and I need him so much right now.  I cant sleep without him.  Anyway, that is all for right now.  I will post again soon.

Wow what a week it has been.  Fiance gone. Failed a test. Friend lost her baby.  Drove to Cleveland and back in one day.  Went to the funeral today then to a birthday party.  Sheesh!  I am exhausted and have a frog in my throat or something.  My voice is rough; I sound like a man.  Lol!  I tried my hardest to be strong at the baby's funeral today.  It was very hard.  I knew I had to be strong for my friend's sake.  She was very strong and very brave.  She even told me that we were in this together now.  My friend is now going to start going to church.  She has not been since she was a little girl.  I am thankful for her that she will be going to church. 
 
Well ladies, I hope all is well with you and I hope that next week is a better one for us all.
Much Love
Marie

Hello everyone!  I have something important to talk about. 
 
As you all very well know, March 17, 2003 we lost our precious baby girl, Brianna due to the birth defect of anencephaly.  Well, on the first Saturday in April I walked in the
March of Dimes-WalkAmerica.  This is a foundation that researches premature births and birth defects. 
 
It has been almost a year and I can hardly believe it.  It is extremely important to me to educate everyone I can about anencephaly and what the March of Dimes is all about.  Please visit my web page listed below and join me in my walk and/or sponsor my walk.  This is an extremely important event to Bryan and myself and we thank you so much for your support.
 
On the web page is a picture of the collector's plate given to me by my aunt.  She gave this to me because she said it reminded her of what she thought Brianna might look like.
 
Much Love
