I am so sorry  / Team Warrior~"Princess" Alexandra Myspace.com/alexs_li-fe_fight_survival

What a tragedy...no one should ever have to go through that. I am so sorry.

I wanted to find some words on a card
That would help to get through it when life gets so hard
It seems you can't bear it
-perhaps can't go on-
When deep in the heart there's no trace of a song

Some words that would comfort
When late in the night,
the trials return, and you're to tired to fight.
Or the tears flow so often it seems you'll run dry.

And life gets so tough that you just want to die
-Or at least go and hide-
Where your safe from all the pain…
Somewhere you can rest 'til you find joy again.

What are the words you so need to hear?
That will help and will heal and remove all the fear?
That builds up inside 'til you think you'll explode?
What are the words that will lighten the load?

If I only knew the right words to say...
To encourage and bless you or comfort some way.
I know not the words, but this I can do---
I shall offer up Prayers to the Father for you.

IRIS Holiday Remembrance Service  / Mommy

Dear Abigail and Noah,
Today was the Infants Remembered in Silence Holiday Remembrance Service at the Chapel of the Good Shephard. It was so beautiful. I decorated the chapel window with your pictures, clothes and teddy bears. All the other parents did the same.  A lot of your family came today to honor your memory.  We listened to bereaved parents read poems and sing songs.  Each baby's name was read and we walked forward to light the candles in the front of the chapel.  We received an angel for each of you.  We bought memorial poinsettas and a memorial ornament for you both.  Daddy read I'm Spending Christmas with Jesus This Year and I read Psalm 139.  We listened to the song "To Where You Are." I just keep wishing I could just have one more day with the two of you - just one.  One day to hold you and love you and let you both know how cherished you are.  I love you my angels!
Love,
Mommy

All Souls - Remembrance Service - Transfiguration Church  / Mommy
Dear Abigail,
Tonight Daddy and I went to the Remembrance Mass at Transfiguaration Church. We were invited because we had lost you and your brother in this past year.
The service began by Daddy and I lighting a candle for you and Noah.  
Then we sang beautiful songs and each carried a flower up to a vase in the front of the church in remembrance of you both. 
Every November, Transfiguration sings the petitions and includes the names of all those who have died into them. So during that time they sang "Noah and Abigail Brandt Pray for Us"
It brought tears to my eyes as the whole congregation sang in response to your names.
Daddy and I were also asked to bring up gifts.
Afterwards there was a reception and we shared pictures of you and your brother and talked with some women who had also had great losses this past year.
It was a good time of remembering - remembering you - my precious child.
I love you.

Soaring With Love Remembrance Service  / Mommy
Dear Noah & Abby,
Today Daddy and I attended a memorial service at Children's Hospital/United Hospital. The theme was Soaring with Love. It was a beautiful service. We each chose a rock and wrote your names on them. We then were able to listen to beautiful music, watch a choreographed dance and then speak your names and place your rocks with all the other little babies that are being missed so very much. After that, we were able to have a remembrance walk to a common green area and were given a dove. The doves were released in honor of the two of you. The dove was so white and an innocent soul, just like the two of you. It made me long to hold you but also reminded me that you are free from this world. You are free to soar with the angels of Heaven. One day in the future, I will again be able to hold you both - but until then I hope so very much that you always know how very wanted and loved you are here on earth.

Love,
Mommy Close

First Fourth of July  / Mommy
Dear Noah and Abby,
Today we would have spent your first 4th of July together. How different today would be had you both lived. I miss you each and every second of the day. It has not yet been six months - yet those six months of hurting for you seem much longer.
Abby and Noah - Tonight Daddy and I will go to your grave. We bought sparklers so you can look down from heaven and see your grave lit by their golden light. We will also bring you little American flags and 4th of July Teddy Bears to decorate your grave. It is impossible for us to truly celebrate today or any day because you are not with us. Our lives are not and never will be the same. Daddy and I miss you both very much and send our love on Angel's wings all the way to your place in Heaven. Say hi on this 4th of July to Grandpa Rollie and let him know we are missing him greatly as well. I love you both my darlings. Love, MOMMY Close

Father's Day Poem  / Mommy
Dear Daddy,

I know today is Father's Day
And you miss me really bad;
But if you could see what I see,
You wouldn't be so sad.

I have all kinds of playmates
And playgrounds everywhere!
With swings and slides and
Balloon rides that whiz right
through the air.

We have ice cream, cake and candy,
milk, cookies and punch;
We never have to go to bed
and we choose what we want for lunch.

There's even a river where you and I could fish,
The water's as clear as a day in spring;
And beautiful rainbows and fluffy white clouds
from which I can see everything!

So you see, daddy,
Even though I'm not with you,
I'm under my Father's care,
And when it's time for you to come,
You'll find me waiting right here!

And I'll give you the biggest hug.
Gee, I can hardly wait.
And when no one's looking,
We'll even swing on Heaven's Gate!

I love you daddy. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

(written by Jo Ann Taylor for Glenn, the daddy of Darrell and Melody who are waiting in heaven.)

First Balloon Found  / Mommy

May 9, 2007 

Hi Noah and Abby,
When I got home today, there was a message on the answering machine. The first balloon was found 7 blocks to the Mississippi in West Saint Paul by a man named Mike. I wonder how many other balloons will be found that were sent out in your memory. Hopefully lots. I love and miss you both. 
Love,

Due Date Tribute  / Mommy/Auntie Missy
May 8, 2007
Hi Noah and Abby,
Today is the day I was to have finally held you as it was my due date. Sometimes it seems that I could pretend that nothing had really happened because you were still not supposed to even be here yet, but that is no longer true. It hurts so much to have lost you both and to know that I can't hold you or sing to you, or rock you to sleep. It hurts that I will never be able to change your diapers, see the color of your eyes or watch you smile. I miss you both so much. Today the entire family gathered at your grave and we released 32 balloons (16 pink, 16 blue) in honor of your due date. The family also brought flowers. Hailey brought pictures and Triston picked dandelions. Everyone loves you so much and misses you so much. My friends at work brought flowers to remember this special day and your Daddy brought a rose bush home after work. Daddy also baked angel food cakes for you - our little angels. We love and miss you so much my sweet babies. Good night. Love Always, Mommy

May 8, 2007
Hi sweeties,
Today would have been the day you should have been born and I will be thinking of you even more today than I do any other day. You both are always in my mind and I miss you very much. Your Mom and Dad have planned something special for you today to show you how much they love you. Me and your cousins and uncle Alex will all be there to. I miss you very much and love you with all my heart. Love Auntie Missy

Missing You  / Missy Russell (aunt)

My Dear Abby,
 Today is sit here and think about all the things that could have been. It's a hard day today and I'm missing you and your brother eminsely. Words can't describe how much you meant and still mean to everyone. By now I should be holding you in my arms, rocking you to sleep and getting calls from your Mom and Dad asking "Is this normal?" I still think of you everyday and wonder what you would have looked like now and what kind of personality you would have. I love you Abigail.
        Love   Aunt Missy
