Comments: Thank you so much for having this site. I hope this
doesn't sound wrong but, even though I wouldn't want anyone else to have
to go through this, it helps to know that I am not alone. It is very hard
for me to talk with others about my son because I am so afraid that I
might hurt someone feelings or I might make someone feel awkward. I hate
the way I feel sometimes and wish that I could talk about how it with
someone but for some reason I just can't. I have my family and friends and
they are always there for me but I feel kind of awkward talking about
things with them. Maybe it's because I feel like I need to try to be
strong and if I talk about things with them they will know that I am not
as strong as I would like everyone to think I am. I love it when others
mention Riley or when they want to talk about him that is usually the only
time that I feel like it is ok to talk about him and even then we only
talk about the memories of him, not about how I am feeling. My 4 year old
daughter talks about her brother all of the time. It makes me feel really
good to know that she hasn't forgotten him. She says that her brother
makes all of those pretty skies just for her cause she asked him to.
Riley's sweet memory will never die, he will always be my son and he will
always have a very special place in our hearts. These next few months are
the hardest of all, first his birthday and then the anniversary. He would
be 3 years old this year I bet he would have been so cute. Oh my sweet
little baby boy, Mommy and Justina love and miss you so much. In loving
Memory of RILEY DANIEL 12/30/97 to 3/16/97. Thank you for listening. If
anyone would like to talk please e-mail me I would love to talk to someone
or even just listen. |

Comments: On 7/17/96 we lost our first child, Abby, to SIDS. She
was 3 months old, and was perfectly healthy with no risk factors for SIDS.
A week ago, on 12/20/99, we experienced the birth of our third child, a
boy named Adam. On July 9, 1997 we had our second daughter, Allison, who
is now almost 2 1/2 years old. I just spent some time looking back into
the SIDS guestbook from late 1997, to see what I had entered when I was
hopeless. Certainly, 3 1/2 years later and two more children later, life
is very very very different than back then...with much joy primarily from
our children. We have survived SIDS long enough, and pressed forward hard
enough, to be able to say that life can truly be joyful again...even while
carrying the pain of losing Abby. It still makles no sense to me, I am
still angry about it...but I am able to focus back on life as it is
presented to me. Anyone who is wondering how this is possible, is welcome
to contact me. God Bless |

passed away 28 years ago of SIDS. Danika's daddy and I were married
September 23, 1999 which would have been Danika's first birthday. And we
are expecting our second child March 7, 2000. I wish that Danika would
have been here life would be so much better. Now our second child will

Couldn't function all that well and spent alott of time crying. GOD I do
miss my son. Time heals very slowly, it been 17 months since you received
your Angel wings. The bad and good news... I think we finally hit bottom,
the good news is that my wife and I have a continued growing, loving bond
between us and we are surround by wonderful, special people. One thing I
cant resist in saying is that people tell me to put my faith in GOD; well
I had my faith in GOD till he took Alex, now how can I open myself up to
trust him with my other children? Especially my almost 10 month old lil
girl? My 4 yr old son said goodnight the other night to us sleepy and a
little groggy and called his little sister Alex. That made me very happy.
For anyone that reads this message, I want you to know that I want nothing
more than for every Christmas card I receive, or friend I see, please
PLEASE mention my boy Alex too. He is forever a part of this family, our
flesh and blood, and the beat in my heart. It is more painful to us and I
think this applies to all SIDS parents when you say nothing about our
children passed on. It is extremely theraputic to talk about him. Emmas

Comments: Hello my sweet baby girl. Tomorrow is your first
birthday. We are going to the park and release balloons-I hope they find
you on whichever cloud you are playing on. After we leave the park, we
will be taking some "us time". Daddy, Jenny and I are going to
treat our selves to a night away. In hopes of having a little bit of fun.
I know you will be there with us in spirit. I hope you have a great
birthday in that great big sky. Please know that my tears are from my
heart, from my deep love for you. Happy Birthday!!!! Stephanie Ann

Comments: Thanks for all the information and help and condolences.
My son died in 1993 at 1 month of age. I am hoping that other people will
do what they can to prevent this tragedy in thier lives by reading the
available information and heading the warnings out there. With much love
and prayers to the other parents who have went through this, Sincerely
your friend Audrey |
