Hi Sweetie! We had Rains Summer Fun Day Yesterday hope you had fun! XOXO

My thoughts and prayers are with you Drema today and with all who love and miss dear Amanda. Your precious little angel is just adorable. My beautiful nephew passed in June 1983 aged 3 months, It broke my heart, I truly thought I understood my sister's pain, that is until march this year when my precious son got his angel wings. I truly do feel your pain Drema and I can never imagine it lessening over any amount of time no matter what people tell me. I know there is nothing I could say to ease your heartache, I pray that you find comfort knowing that others care and by this beautiful website your precious little angel's memory will be kept alive and remembered by others thank you for sharing Amanda and your beautiful poems with me ~ Edwina Mitchell

Drema,

       I love this site for the baby!! what a great job you have done.i know that you will never get over losing her and how could anyone expect that of you.i guess until you have been thru all the things you have went thru know one could begin to understand life as you know it.you are a very strong woman,never think you're not.to go thru losing your child and not having the right person you needed in your life with you all those times when you needed him the most and yet you never had a bad word to say about him nor was anyone else allowed to say anything,oh yes i remember that time lol he don't know he was protected,ha ha but god gave you a great man in chuck.he has been so good to you and esp.where amanda has been comcerned.like moving her,he said you are going to move her now so maybe the bad dreams will stop.he wanted nothing but you to be happy.and the day she was moved,he was right with you,saying come on up here baby its ok,everything will be fine.he knew this was the best thing in the world for you.gosh i could go on and on.but the thing i want to say the most is no matter where amanda is at,here or heaven she has the best mom ever!!! god picked the best person possible to be her mother and you wear the title so very well.always be proud of her because she would be so proud to call you her mommy.i love you my friend,sandy

I lost my first baby when he was eight months old. I cried the whole time I went through your site. Your poem Feelings was excellent! I remember at my son's funeral my aunt told me, "Don't worry honey, you can have more kids." I wanted to slap her mouth for being so insensitive. Although every situation is different, and nobody can know how you feel, I do sympathize with you. I know that I miss my angel everyday.

My heart goes out to you.  I have tears in my eyes after reading this.  Your baby is a beautiful angel in heaven now.  You are stronger than I could have been.

AMANDA FAITH WOOTEN (FORREST)WAS OR ON AUGUST 2,1983 AT 10;30 PM WEIGHING IN AT 8 POUND AND SHE WAS 20 INCHES LONG WITH BIG BLUE EYES AND BROWN CURLY HAIR,A TRUE BEAUTIFUL ANGEL.

 

               I KEPT HER SAFE ALL SNUG AND WARM FOR 81/2 MONTHS

               (2 WEEKS AWAY FROM FROM HER DELIVERY)

               I FELT HER MOVE AND KICKS

               I LOVE HER FROM THE DAY I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT

               SHE WAS MY SPECIAL ANGEL FROM MY WONDERFUL GOD,

               BECAUSE I HAD TRIED FOR SO MANY YEARS.

               SHE WAS LOVED BY ALL,EVEN THOUGH NO ONE GOT TO MEET HER

               ALIVE.SHE WASN'T MEANT FOR OUR WORLD.

               I WAS ONLY MEANT TO CARRY HER AND LET HER GO TO LIVE WITH

               GOD,THIS WAS HIS PLAN FROM THE START.

               I WILL NEVER BE ABKE TO SEE ALL OF HER FIRST,WALKING,TALKING

               FIRST TOOTH AND HAIRCUT.I WILL ONLY HAVE THE MEMORIES OF

               THE TIME SHE SPENT IN MY WOMB AND REMEMBERING ALL HER KICKS

               AND REMEMBERING HERHEARTBEATS,BUT WE SHALL MEET AGAIN

               SOMEDAY,SHE WILL LIVE ON FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS AND SOUL.

                                                        I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH

                                                        AMANDA FAITH,YOU WILL NEVER BE

                                                        FORGOTTEN AS LONG AS I HAVE LIFE,

                                                            YOUR LOVING MOMMY,DREMA

              

     ONCE I HELD AN ANGEL SO VERY CLOSE TO ME

     I WATCHED HER RUN AND JUMP AND DANCE

     BUT ONLY IN MY MEMORY.

     I WAITED FOR THE DAY SHE'D COME

     SHE'D BRING SUCH JOY TO ALL

     THEN THE ANGEL WAS CALLED HOME,

     SHE'D NEVER HAVE TO FALL.

     SHE WAS TOO PERFECT FOR THIS WORLD

     SHE DIDN'T NEED TO STAY

     SHE WENT STRAIGHT UP TO HEAVEN,

     I'LL JOIN HER THERE SOMEDAY.

     YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL-

     PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU DO.

     THERE'S JUST ONE WAY TO KNOW-

     HAVE YOU LOST A CHILD TOO?

     YOU'LL HAVE ANOTHER CHILD!!"-

     MUST I HEAR THIS EACH DAY?

     CAN I GET ANOTHER MOTHER,TOO

     IF MINE SHOULD PASS AWAY?

     DON'T SAY IT WAS "GODS WILL"

     THAT'S NOT THE GOD I KNOW,

     WOULD GOD ON PURPOSE BREAK MY HEART,

     THEN WATCH AS MY TEARS FLOW?

     "AREN'T YOU BETTER YET?"

     IS THAT WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY?

     NO!! A PART OF MY HEART ACHES-

     I'LL ALWAYS FEEL THE PAIN,

     YOU THINNK THAT SILENCE IS KIND,

     BUT IT HURTS ME EVEN MORE

     I WANT TO TALK ABOUT MY CHILD

     WHO HAS GONE THROUGH DEATHS DOOR.

     DON'T SAY THESE THINGS TO ME,

     ALTHOUGH YOU DO MEAN WELL.

     THEY DO NOT TAKE THE PAIN AWAY

     I MUST GO THRU THE HELL.

     I WILL GET BETTER SLOW BUT SURE

     AND IT HELPS TO HAVE YOU NEAR

     BUT A SIMPLE"I'M SORRY YOU LOST YOUR CHILD"

     IS ALL I NEED TO HEAR.

     A MILLION TIMES I WANTED YOU,

     A MILLION TIMES I HAVE CRIED.

     IF LOVE ALONE COULD HAVE SAVED YOU,

     YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER DIED.

     IN LIFE I LOVE YOU DEARLY

     IN DEATH I LOVE YOU STILL,

     IN MY HEART YOU HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE

     THAT NO OTHER CHILD COULD EVER FILL.

     IT BROKE MY HEART TO LOSE YOU,

     BUT YOU DID NOT GO ALONE.

     FOR ALL MY LOVE WENT WITH YOU,

     THE DAY GOD TOOK AMANDA HOME.

                         MOM, PLEASE DON'T FEEL GUILTY

                         IT WAS JUST MY TIME TO GO.

                         I SEE YOU ARE STILL FEELING SAD

                         AND THE TEARS JUST SEEM TO FLOW.

                        WE ALL COME TO EARTH FOR OUR LIFETIME

                        AND FOR SOME IT'S NOT MANY YEARS.

                        I DON'T WANT YOU TO KEEP CRYING

                        YOU ARE SHEDDING SO MANY TEARS.

                       I HAVEN'T REALLY LEFT YOU

                       EVEN THOUGH IT MAY SO SO.

                       I HAVE JUST GONE TO MY HEAVENLY HOME

                       AND I'M CLOSER TO YOU THEN YOU KNOW.

                       JUST BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU SAY MY NAME

                       I'M STANDING NEXT TO YOU.

                       I KNOW YOU LONG TO SEE ME

                       BUT THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.

                      BUT I'LL STILL SEND YOU MESSAGES

                      AND HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.

                      THAT WHEN YOUR TIME COMES TO

                                     "CROSS OVER"

                       I'LL BE THERE TO TAKE YOYR HAND.

  

                        SORRY I DIDN'T GET TO STAY,

                        TO LAUGH AND RUN AND PLAY.

                        TO BE THERE BY YOUR SIDE,

                        I'M SORRY I HAD TO DIE.

                       GOD SENT ME DOWN TO BE WITH YOU,

                       TO MAKE YOUR LOVING HEART ANEW.

                       TO HELP YOU LOOK UP AND SEE,

                       BOTH GOD AND LITTLE ME.

                       MOMMY, I WISH I COULD  STAY,

                       JUST LIKE I HEARD YOU PRAY.

                       BUT ALL THE ANGELS DID CRY,

                       WHEN THEY TOLD LITTLE ME TO SAY

                                  " GOODBYE"

                       GOD DIDN'T TAKE ME CAUSE HE WAS MAD,

                       HE DIDN'T TAKE ME TO MAKE YOU SAD.

                       BUT TO GIVE US BOTH A CHANCE TO BE,

                       A LOVE SO PRECIOUS......DON'T YOU SEE?

                       UP HERE NO TROUBLE DO I SEE,

                       AND THE PRETTY ANGELS SING TO ME.

                       THE STREETS OF GOLD IS WHERE I PLAY,

                       YOU'LL COME HERE TOO, MOMMY, SOMEDAY.

                       UNTIL THE DAY YOU JOIN ME HERE,

                       I'LL LOVE YOU MOMMY, DEAR.

                       EACH BREEZE YOU FEEL AND SEE,

                       BRINGS HUGS AND KISSES FROM ME.
