My only son was born with Amniotic Band Syndrome around his head. He passed away during birth. I wished I could have spent some time with him before he passed away. Before he was born I had a 3 year old daughter, and now we have another daughter who will be a year on 12/31/04. She is my little Angel! Your website is beautiful, and I loved the poems. I know that all us parents who have lost a child can't wait to see them again in heaven one day! I know I can't.

Vanessa has a playmate in Heaven named Chelsea Lynne. In 1991, just six months after losing my mother to cancer, my baby girl died during surgery. She was only 13 days old. The surgery was risky but her only chance at survival, having been born with endocardial cushion defects (holes in the septa of her heart and valve abnormalities). I never got to hold her while she was alive. Now my oldest son is nearly 18 and my youngest was born 2 years after Chelsea's passing, making him nearly 12 years old. They have been SUCH a blessing to me and the time I have had with them has been even more special, knowing how precious life is. I will always miss my little girl, though, and think of her daily even now, when she would have been almost 14 years old. The pain of losing a child never goes away and friends and family can't understand the loss you've suffered ... and will continue to suffer until you are together with them again for eternity. I pray that your family will continue to lean on each other through the difficult times yet to come. Keep Vanessa's memory alive whatever way feels comfortable for you ... and don't be afraid to talk about her to others. The measure of a person's life is not determined by the length of time they spend here on Earth; rather, it's by the hearts that person touches while they were with us. God bless you and thank you so much for sharing your precious angel's story with us all.

God Bless you and your family. Vanessa was very lucky to have such loving parents who helped her to go home to Jesus with love and grace. It is those of us left behind that hurt....Vanessa is at eternal peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you.......Love never dies.

I had 2 healthy babies and then tried for 7 years to have a another baby and lost 6 little angels all in the first trimester I was told I had auto immune disease and that any time I am pregnant my body will fight it off like a infection. So we gave up. but I am happy to say I proved those doctors wrong I had a healthy baby girl on 06/09/2004 she is our miracle. She was born with amniotic banding of her left hand so that never developed. but we have learned to live with it and she is too. I was told not to have anymore. but you never know. may god bless you and your family. your little angel vanessa is watching over all of you.

Hi, My mother lost 4 boys before she had me. All were born premature and died of breathing difficulties. The only reason I am alive today is because she chose a different doctor to deliver me. I am now 15, happy, and healthy. I have three sisters too, and they are healthy also. You will see your beautiful daughter again someday, and she is still in your heart. This storie brought even a tear to my eye, and that isn't easy. I wish you peace and happiness in the years to come.

Thank you for sharing your link in my son's guestbook. Your story has brought me to tears, and once again I realize how lucky we are that Austin's ABS was not severe. My very best wishes to you and your family. One day you will all be with your beautiful baby girl!
