Our Lilly was born on October 26, 2007 at 10:40pm. She passed 6 hours later on October 27, 2007 from Trisomy 18. The 6 hours that we had with our Lilly were precious. I wouldn't take them back for anything. She has left her little footprints on our hearts forever. When I was little, I use to pray every night that God would let me see an angel. I would open my blinds just in case an angel appeared in front of my window. One day I asked my mother why God hadn't let me see an angel. I was really disappointed! Well.. when Lilly was born, God finally showed me an Angel. Our Guardian Angel! I find a lot of peace knowing that our Lilly is in Heaven with Jesus.

I thought of you and closed my eyes and prayed to God today I asked "What makes a Mother?" and I know I heard Him say "A Mother has a baby" This we know is true "But, God, can you be a Mother When your baby's not with you?" "Yes, you can" He replied With confidence in His voice "I give many women babies When they leave is not their choice Some I send for a lifetime And others for a day And some I send to feel your womb But there's no need to stay" "I just don't understand this, God I want my baby here" He took a breath and cleared His throat And then I saw a tear "I wish that I could show you What your child is doing today If you could see your child smile With other children and say 'We go to Earth to learn our lessons Of love and life and fear My Mommy loved me oh so much I got to come straight here. I feel so lucky to have a Mom Who had so much love for me I learned my lesson very quickly My Mommy set me free I miss my Mommy oh so much But I visit her each day When she goes to sleep On her pillow's where I lay I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek And whisper in her ear Mommy, don't be sad today I'm your baby and I'm here' "So you see my dear sweet one Your children are okay Your babies are in My home And this is where they'll stay They'll wait for you with Me Until our lesson is through And on the day that you come home They'll be at the gates for you So now you see what makes a Mother It's the feeling in your heart It's the love you had so much of Right from the very start Though some on Earth may not realize you are a Mother Until their time is done They'll be up here with Me one day And know you're the best one!"
