A Poem For Mamie

A Poem sent from a loving friend, Crystal Goss
By. Jennifer Wasik
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 a 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 here

He took a 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 smile

With other children and say
“We go to earth and 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 lesson very quickly

My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much

But I visit her each 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 one

Your children are OK

Your babies are here in My home

And this is where they’ll stay.
They’ll wait for you with me

Until your lesson is 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.

Baby Burke- Please Pray

Taylor and I went in for our big ultrasound this morning. I am 18 weeks along now, so they were checking out our baby boy closely. They found 2 genetic markers that caused a red flag. One cyst on the brain and his kidneys are enlarged. We need lots of prayers right now. Prayers for these markers to disappear and for our baby boy to be healthy. We also need prayers for our sanity as we wait, hope and pray. We will go back for another ultrasound in 8 weeks (March 31). We were told not to look this up on the internet and would appreciate only positive comments on this situation. God is good and we are leaving it in His hands. Thanks for your prayers, Sarah

Introducing Mamie's Poppy Plates

As you all know, I am Mamie's mom, and Mamie was my first child. I was pregnant with her from October 2008 to June 25th, 2009 when she was born a sleeping angel (stillborn) two and a half weeks before her due date. Stillbirth and infant death are realities that too many parents face even today. Did you know that each year 1 in 115 babies delivered is stillborn? And 1 in every 102 newborns die before the age of 28 days old? Now, a year after losing Mamie, I have started Mamie's Poppy Plates, my organization providing keepsakes for parents who are not able to take their babies home from the hospital. Because handprints and footprints are something that we cherish as parents of children in Heaven or here on this earth, I wanted to find a beautiful way to preserve such a precious reminder of our babies. Your donation of $13 will provide a plate to bereaved families who are delivering at St. Vincent Hospital. Their baby’s birth stats, hand and footprints will be stampe...

Leaving it in God's hands

Taylor and I have been given the okay to try and get pregnant again. I haven't blogged about it because I really wasn't sure I wanted everyone to know. I remember everyone saying how fertile you are after you have a baby and how most people get pregnant quickly. It has been 4 months now and I have really been struggling with all of this. I guess I had it in my head that God wouldn't make us wait very long after all the pain we have gone through. For those of you who don't know it took us right around a year to get pregnant with Mamie. I am not big into taking drugs. Not that I think it is bad for people to take medicine. It just isn't for me. My mom found out about this book called "The Infertility Cure" written by Randine Lewis, Ph.D. You can click on the book and it will link to a book store. We ran out and got the book and I began interviewing acupuncturist. I found a wonderful lady Dr. Lei at Shie Ji Acupuncture Clinic . She is an amazing woman. N...
