Connor's Tributes

Special Angel Day - by Carmelle Gross

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

so so sorry

Little Angel

I felt your presence there inside of me,
nestled soft and warm;
Sweet scent of baby's breath,
precious words left unadorned.

I saw your tiny heartbeat,
then I knew that you were fine;
A perfect baby we created,
one that would be mine.

Then that tragic day it came
there was nothing I could do,
Only wait and hope
for the precious life of you.

Yes in the beginning
your daddy was afraid;
Only he would love you unconditional
and never run away.

He loved you more this I do know,
as he cried for you that day,
When the doctor said that you were gone,
daddy wanted you to stay.

He would have held you close to him,
and see your perfect form,
A gift of daddy's love,
would have kept you safe and warm.

Only now you are an angel over me
beautiful and bare,
My heart would hurt if you cried for me
and mommy was not there.

Still we are together in my heart and memories,
You are still a part of my memory.

Rest gentle now 'sweet baby' there is no pain
you are never alone,
I know you are with the guiding angels
in you peaceful home.

I will come with you someday
only now is not my time,
Then we will be together again
again you will be mine.

Just so sorry

All I want to say is I am terribly sorry for your loss, i am a SANDS mommy and have been since August 06. I happened to just be on SANDS, saw one of your posts and wanted to come to Connors site. I also have a site for my son on here and came to look at Connor's. The pain is horrendous, I know it too well , yet we shouldnt have to know this type of grief. No-one should go through this agony. It is early days for you Kim, compared to me but I can remember those early bleak days. I just wanted to offer some kind of comfort and only the sort that other parents who have gone through this can say and truely mean, as we are the ones who know what this is like. I never thought i would live without my son I am not just saying that. i honestly thought I would never ever survive the loss and the pure empitness. Somehow, I dont know, how i did and am still surviving. But I REALLY didn't think I would do it. Its now been almost 20 months. The pain of him not being here is still very very real but I have somehow managed to 'learn' to live without him. I miss him. Want him and need him just as much as the day he left me and I accept that I will feel those emotions for the rest of my life. You will too. Alfonso was full term and as beautiful as your darling perfect Connor. I will never understand why is happens to us. I just wanted to say that through SANDS I am sure you are finding comfort. I did, and 20 months on I still do. So from one mommy to another, you are in my thoughts and my prayers. I sincerely mean that. xx
