Another Visit?

Hi sweetheart,
I am just wondering if you are visiting us again today?

We went in to Jacen's room to put him down for a nap and had a movie playing in the living room and his music playing in his room. We had been in his room for about 20 minutes when all of a sudden the house seems to get quiet and his music table that he got for Christmas starts playing music! His music table was in the living room sitting in the middle of the room because he had just been playing with it. It plays like 20 different songs when you spin the little spinner thing, (in the picture you will see it on your right) well it kept playing the same 3 songs over and over again. Very strange. I just have to wonder if you were playing with it? When I came into the living room to see what was going on, it stopped. I called Daddy, and walked passed it again and just as soon as I said "huh, its not doing it now" it started up again.

Prayers are needed...

A friend that I used to work with lost her daughter on Sunday in a car accident. Her daughter was 21, the friend that she was with who was also killed left behind 4 children and the young driver of the other car was also killed. Very sad time for many people. Prayers are needed for these families.

Angel Visit....

You were with us today. I just love these moments when I got the camera out and right there you are with us playing even though we cant see you.

We love you very much my sweet boy. Thank you for coming to see us today. Heaven knew we needed you today.

22 months...

Hello my sweet peanut.

It has been 22 months today, and I am having a hard time believing it has been almost 2 years! We are in the midst of planning your 2nd heavenly birthday. I fight back tears just thinking about it.
*how appropriate, your wind chime is ringing in the breeze.* I love you my dear son, you know how much I miss you. I tell you all the time.

It's sad, last Thursday a mommy lost her sweet daughter, and today they are having to say good-bye to her earthly body. I was reading her blog a little bit ago about being able to spend time with Amelia and it brought back so many memories about the very short time we had with you. Her words just hit me like a knife and I lost my breath as I thought about what I wish I would have done in the few short days I had to hold onto you. I had no idea later on I would think of all these things and wish that I would have done them. I wasn't thinking straight, we were blindsided by your death. My heart breaks for her and her family because all to well do I remember those days, weeks and months following your passing.

Be with little Amelia, we know she is safe in heaven. But her family misses her so much. Let her know she can still visit them just like you visit us from time to time.

I love you sweet little one. I am so proud of you.

Call for help....

Today, First Candle is requesting your help. 
Just a few minutes of your time can help propel
a movement that will save thousands of babies’
lives for future generations to come.
We are joining our friends at the C. J.
Foundation for SIDS, 
to seek co-sponsors for S.1445 and H.R. 3212…
the Stillbirth and SUID Prevention, 
Education and Awareness Act. This act is
sponsored by D-NJ Senator Frank Lautenberg 
and Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr.,
and quite simply the single most promising piece
of legislation crafted in the past decade to
promote infant survival and address the
sudden unexpected death of young
children related to SIDS, SUID, SUDC and Stillbirth. 
An incredible amount of legislative staff
time has been put into understanding the 
issues and defining ways in which we can
reduce the risk for future families.
Nothing you can do today will have
more meaning and prevent more tragic losses.
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSIONAL
LEADERS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE TODAY.

By clicking on the following link provided
by the C.J. Foundation for SIDS, 
it will be easy to type in your zip code
and automatically direct your letter to 
the appropriate congressional offices.
You may personalize the letter or send the 
template as is.

http://www.facebook.com/l/f52f3;www.votervoice.net/groups/sids

My personal goal is to have a minimum of
81 co-sponsors by Mothers’ Day…equivalent 
to the number of babies who are stillborn
plus the number of babies who die of 
Sudden Unexpected Infant or Child Death
EVERY DAY here in the United States.

Won’t you please help?????????? 
Please do it in honor of the babies and
children whom you love in your life.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart!!!

Marian Sokol, President of First Candle
