What Makes A Mother?
I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today
I asked "What makes a Mother?"
And I know I heard Him say.
"A Mother has a baby"
This we know is true
"But God can you be a Mother,
When your baby's not with you?"
"Yes, you can," He replied
With confidence in His voice
"I give many women babies,
When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime,
And others for the day.
And some I send to feel your womb,
But there's no need to stay."
"I just don't understand this God
I want my baby to be here."
He took a deep breath and cleared His throat,
And then I saw a tear.
"I wish I could show you,
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child's smile,
With all the other children and say...
'We go to Earth to learn our lessons,
Of love and life and fear.
My Mommy loved me oh so much,
I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mom,
Who had so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly,
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much,
But I visit her every day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillow's where I lay
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
And whisper in her ear.
Mommy don't be sad today,
I'm your baby and I'm here.'
"So you see my dear sweet ones,
your children are okay.
Your babies are born here in My home,
And this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with Me,
Until your lesson's through.
And on the day that you come home
they'll be at the gates for you.
So now you see what makes a Mother,
It's the feeling in your heart
it's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start
Though some on earth may not realize,
you are a Mother.
Until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day
and know that you are the best one!"

My angel - Lily Lynn Oke 36 weeks 12-20-06
We lost our beautiful baby girl Lily to an unexplained death at 36 weeks gestation on December 20, 2006. My whole pregnancy was great. I was so happy and felt better than ever. There were never any problems at all. I had an ultrasound done at 18 weeks and we found out we were having a girl! We were so excited! We already had her name picked out. Marc and I had been on a cruise with my family celebrating my Grandparents (Hervey's) 50th wedding anniversary. We were having such a great time with the family and realized that we want to do that with our kids one day. It was on the cruise that we decided we were ready to start a family. One day while sitting by the pool there was a little girl playing at the pool with her mom and she was so cute. Her name was Lily. When Marc and I heard her name we just looked at each other and said, if we ever have a little girl that is going to be her name. We just fell in love with it. So when we found out we were having Lily...lots of happy tears were shed. We knew that she would be daddy's little girl and of course mommy's (that is a given!). But we also knew that her uncles and grandparents were going to make her the center of attention! My parents were so excited for their first grandchild and my brothers were ready to spoil their little niece! At 34 weeks I had my second ultrasound. My mom was in town from Colorado and she was able to come to it, which I am so happy she did. Lily was so beautiful. We could see her so clearly. We wanted to pick her up right out of the monitor! Her little arm was moving up to her face and her little hand was sqweezing her little cheek. Her lips were moving like a little fishy's. And her belly was going up and down so fast. The ultrasound tech said that was something they love to see, deep belly breathing. She even showed us Lily's cord and it looked fine. Everything was great. My doctor was so excited and said that she loved to get the results of the ultrasounds because they can tell you so much. I had a perfect pregnancy. The ultrasound was perfect. Nothing to worry about. Week 35 I went in for my doctor appointment and my blood pressure was great and so was Lily's heart rate. No worries. Week 36 I felt Lily move on Sunday and on Monday there was no movement. I went into the hospital thinking that I was just being a worried mom. Then I received the worst news possible. There was no heart beat. I didn't want to hear it. I am still in disbelief. As I was sitting in the chair feeling like I was in this nightmare that I just couldn't wait to wake up from, my mom called me to see how her girls were doing. I still can hear her scream. My husband was called by the hospital. He was working and didn't answer the phone, then I had to call him. He answered, I can still hear him screaming too. It is so hard to accept that this is our life. This isn't supposed to happen. Lily was healthy. So am I. There is no explanation of why my little baby girl is not here with us. I am so deeply sad. I ask why every day. I find myself repeating scenarios of should have's and wanting to just go back in time to do things different. This was our first baby. She was the first grandchild on my side of the family. We were so excited to have her. We planned for everything. We just couldn't wait. We were afraid that she would grow up too fast. She made my life better. I was the happiest I have ever been when we were expecting our Lily. My husband had finished her room. We had the shower and had all of her clothes put away and the house ready for her to come home. We had to have a funeral for our little girl. That isn't supposed to happen. I have a lot of pictures of Lily. We have foot prints and hand prints. We saved some of her hair. She had a lot. She was so Beautiful. I don't know how to do this. My husband and I are just so very sad. We want her to come home.
She should be here. She is loved so much. It just isn't fair... |
