OUR LITTLE ANGEL
GOD LOOKED AROUND HIS GARDEN,AND HE FOUND AN EMPTY PLACE.
HE THEN LOOKED DOWN UPON THIS EARTH , AND SAW YOUR TRIED FACE.
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU, AND LIFTED YOU TO REST.
GOD'S GARDEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL, HE ALWAYS TAKES THE BEST .
HE KNEW THAT YOU WERE SUFFERING, HE KNEW YOU WERE IN PAIN.
HE KNEW THAT YOU WOULD NEVER GET WELL ON EARTH AGAIN.
HE SAW THE ROAD WAS GETTING ROUGH, AND THE HILLS WERE HARD TO CLIMB. S
SO HE CLOSED YOUR WEARY EYELIDS AND WHISPERED, "PEACE BE THINE".
IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU, BUT YOU DIDN'T GO ALONE.
FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU, THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME.

Was just thinking of you today and wondering how you are going? I haven't been on here a lot for the past few months, mainly due to the fact I was pregnant again and suffered too much pain to sit too long at the computer. Patrick is now 6 weeks old and a gorgeous little fellow who has fit right in with our family.
Anyway, I hope you are doing okay. I think about you a lot.
Hugs,
Sharyn x

Ana said… - Hello my friend Gisel
I have just read the story about Dylan and I can't keep the tears from flowing. What a beautiful story Gisel. Every moment was precious and even in passing Dylan was beautiful.
I think you were very brave in asking Dylan to let go and go home to the angels. I feel so guilty today because I wish I had the strength to let Jeffrey go. I forced Jeffrey to hang on even though he was more than ready to go home. He had autism and it was difficult to communicate with him. He went into cardiac arrest on 31st August and I had the docs fight to bring him back. He was at Boston Children's hospital till 19th Sept when we flew back to Bermuda. He survived for 54 days and passed away on 12th November. I wish I had told Jeffrey to let go and go home to heaven. He would not have suffered so much. You did the right thing. The poor angel was so unwell. I find it amazing that at Dylan's tender age he knew he was going. I believe God sent that smile to you and your husband to let you both know it was ok to let Dylan go and to thank you both for being loving parents that you both were.
thank you for the inspirational story. It's a story of love..........

- Hi Gisel,
I just saw your latest photos of Dylan. My god, even with all those tubes he was just so beautiful, so perfect. He looked so very much like your husband, even at such a young age I could see it!
I am sitting here crying, and my heart is broken for you and for him. How are you doing these days? Is it getting any easier? Do you still have to remind yourself to wake up each day and breathe? I still have my son, and yet somedays I have to remind myself to do just that.
I find myself thinking about you often and wondering how you are going, how your husband and son are coping. I know it isn't much, and I wish there was something I could do to stop your pain and hurt, but I always have you in my heart and my thoughts. I look at my 3 children, including my son who is still alive, and actually count myself as lucky that I am able to do that.
I know it is going to be hard without Dylan in your arms this easter, but I do hope you have peace and joy just knowing that you were blessed to have him in your lives, and he was blessed to have you.
Got to go, crying too much now (maybe it's pregnancy hormones LOL!)

- Hi Gisel I've just taken a few minutes to look at Dylan's picutes - he was such a beautiful little baby. I could see the heartbreak in your face and your husband's. I was saddned to see poor Dylan hooked up to all those machines. Poor little angel did not feel the freedom of no tubes - but he looks so peaceful! How old was Dylan when he lost his life? I have not been on this site for long and forgive me for asking - but how did Dylan pass away - was it respitory or Heart related? He was so young poor angel. I realize that he was born last year. My prayers are with you and your beautiful family. Your family is lovely. Easter is coming fast & furious - I pray you all have a blessed holiday with Dylan in spirit........

Tanya Fleming said… - Thank you for your comment on my page. I think you are amazing too, to look at that little baby or yours and see what Dylan went through is sad, but you are very strong to deal with it so well. Isn't amazing how each of us are strengthened by one another.
