On March 14, 2000 we lost our son Aaron.
It has been a very long and hard two years since his death. I decided to make a special page in Loving Memory of our sweet AngelBaby. It is so very important to me to keep Aaron's memory alive. The best way that I have found to do this, is to share his life with others. Aaron may have only been with us for a short time, but he left such a huge impact on the lives of all of those who knew him, and through this website he has had an impact on those who only know him by his tradgic story. I never realized that the thought of a person could make you smile one minute, and have you crying the next. I have such sweet memories of my precious baby boy, those memories I will cherish until my last breath. I have done an extreme amount of healing in the last two years, but that healing process will also continue until my last breath. There is nothing that can prepare a person for such a huge loss as that of a child. We as parents are supposed to die before our children. We expect to bury our Parents, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, but not our babies. No matter what age a child is when they die, they are still our babies. It does not matter if that child was our first or last born... They are still our babies. Any parent that has lost a child knows what I am talking about.
I still can not believe that it has been two years since Aaron passed away. Sometimes it feels like it was so long ago that I saw his smiling face. Then at other times it feels like it was just yesterday. The pain and horror just comes rushing back at me. I Love and miss Aaron so very much. He was and is my True Angel Baby!!!
"God Knows Best"
by Helen Steiner Rice
Our Father knows what's best for us
so why should we complain --
We always want the sunshine,
but He knows there must be rain.
We love the sound of laughter
and the merriment of cheer,
But our hearts would lose their tenderness
if we never shed a tear.
Our Father tests us often
with suffering and with sorrow,
He tests us not to punish us,
but to help us meet tomorrow,
For growing trees are strengthened
when they withstand the storms,
And the sharp cut of the chisel
gives the marble grace and form.
God never huts us needlessly,
and he never wastes our pain.
For every loss He sends us
is followed by rich rain.
And when we count our blessings
that God has so freely sent.
We'll find no cause for murmuring
and no time to lament.
For our Father loves His children,
and to Him all things are plain.
So He never sends us pleasures,
when the souls deep need is pain.
So whenever we are troubled,
and when everything goes wrong,
It is just God working in us,
to make our spirit strong.
