[tri-wings] (tri-wings) Hello all

    Hello to all once more. I know that I am more of a reader then a sharer, 
but I have been sitting back reading as you tell your stories and share your 
memories and it makes me feel a little better about my loss. 
It's harder for you as parent's I know that, but as I have told you before, my 
friend and I found out on the same day that we were pregnant and through the 
course of one year (or 9 months) we both lost our children. 
As I have shared, I had a miscarriage a month after I found out I was pregnant 
and my friend lost my niece to trisomy 13 full on Christmas Eve. The holidays 
may never be the same for us because Eliza Jane was the perfect gift and God 
decided he wanted her back. 
The reason I call her my niece is the fact that her mother (Robyn) and father 
(Josh) are real good friends of my fiencee and I. In fact we are so close our 
sonâ??s (first born for both) are 6 months apart. They have 2 children, ages 5 
and 3, and I have one and that is my 4 year old son Timothy. (I guess the 
rhyming thing is not just in poems sorry) 
I have found comfort in your group as you seem like one big family and I have 
shared with my friends some of the stories I have read here. She doesn't have 
access to the internet as often as I do as I have it on my cellphone so I can 
read my email there. 
We are both from a small community and we had never heard of any of the 
Trisomies until Eliza came along. We didn't know what to think or expect, but 
we all prayed all that we could to try to keep our Angel with us. But, she 
stayed with us for 4 days. She was in a hospital I couldn't get to so 
unfortunatly I didn't get to see her till after she passed, but she has taught 
me some lessons and I have my own memories of her being with us. 
Yes, I was the aunt on the end of the phone telling the father to tell her to 
hurry up and get here! We kept in touch with her parents each and every day to 
get updates and to see what was going on. We wish we could have been there, but 
we didn't fee that it was right since it was a time for the family to be 
together and also we didn't know that she wasn't going to be with us that long. 
So, in a way Eliza and I have our own kind of bond as I was talking to her the 
day before she was born, and she is also with the baby that I lost this year 
and I know that they are taking good care of each other and watching over me 
and my family and her family as well. I guess I am a real optomistic person as 
most of my poems show! 
Just over the past few days of reading what you have sent out made me think of 
yet another poem which I will share in my next mail out. It will be the only 
thing sent. 
If there is one that I have sent out that you want me to resend let me know. I 
know that we had a new person join so if you want me to send you some of the 
poems I have written just let me know. :)
I hope everyone is having a good year so far.

mother to Timothy (4)
Aunt to Eliza (my t-13 angel)
For those in my life that are always there even when things just aren't fair. 
Thank you to one and all and just remember friends pick you up when you fall.
