I would like to share my story with everyone . In July of 03.. I found out I was pregnant for the second time I was so happy I went for my first ultrasound during the ultrasound the nurse was quiet I said is there something wrong she said no but there are two heart beats here I said your joking no she said "see for your self" she said I could not believe I was going to have twins I was in shock when my now ex husband came in the room I told him its twin he didn't believe me the nurse told him its true he didn't know what to say we were happy.... before we had the ultrasound our family kept saying its gonna be twins sure enough it was... the pregnancy was going good we found out that they were both boys when I got to 8 months I started having early labor contractions, I was in and out the hospital in January 04 . Then on Feb 7, I started having a lot of back pain so my now ex husband brought me to the E.R. they admited me I was 35 weeks my due date wasn't until march 15, here it was Feb 7, they decided they thought they would just go ahead and induce labor they thought the twins were big enough to be born so they gave me pitocin to progress labor here it was the next day still in labor it was Feb 8, about 2:30 that afternoon the nurse came in to do a ultrasound the nurses were whispering and pointing I didn't know what was going on she said one of the baby's cord is prolapsed that mean the cord was coming before the baby and it was cutting his oxygen supply that I would have to have a emergency C-Section I was so scared everything was happening so fast they had to put me to sleep it was about 2:50 then at 2:52 Pm Devin was born 5Lbs 6 Oz 19inches Dylan was born at 2:53Pm he weighed 5 Lbs 9 Oz he was 18 inches when Dylan was born my husband said he was purple and blue and he wasn't breathing so he was rushed to the NICU Devin got to go to the nursery but an hour after he was born he started having trouble breathing so he had to go to the NICU too. they both were on all kinds of tubes and wires. I didn't wake up until 12:00 that night I didn't know where I was my big belly was gone my now ex husband had told me every thing that was going on with the twins I was so worried that something was going to happen to them before I got to see them so I told him to go be with them. When he got back later on he showed me pictures of them I couldn't believe I had two babies I didn't get to see them in person until two days later I was having problems of my own after the c section. When I seen them for the first time couldn't beleive my eyes they seemed so tiny I never before seen babies hooked up like that Dylan was on more stuff than Devin was he was breathing on his own now we got to hold and feed him we couldn't hold Dylan till a couple of more days later then they both were doing fine they were off of everything I was discharged on the 11th but the twins had to stay they could not maintain their body temp and they had to be able to be in a open crib too. Then on Feb 14 they were able to come home. We were so happy to be able to bring them home finally. They were fine and healthy the months went by quick then on July 11, 2004 my life changed forever I woke up about 8:30 my step dad was knocking at the door he came in we visited for a while then about 9:00 Dylan started crying so I went to get him out of his crib I looked over at Devin something didn't seem right he was laying there still his eyes were half way open I thought he was playing just looking at the mobile he looked really yellow I nudged him a little he still didn't move so I screamed at my sister something is wrong with Devin she came in the room she saw him and started screaming and crying we both were screaming my dad ran in whats wrong, we said something is wrong with Devin so he brought him into the living room we started doing CPR my sister called 911 then about 5 minutes later fire and rescue came they they started doing CPR I seen him kind of shake his head I was freaking out I couldn't understand what was going on the EMTs showed up a few minutes later they came in the house took Devin out to the ambulance I was hoping my baby was OK then about 10 minutes later one of the emts came I was hoping he was gonna say everything is OK but he put his arm around me and said I'm sorry but there is nothing we could do he was all ready gone we found out later that he died at 2:00 am and I put him back to bed at midnight so he died 2 hours after he went to sleep I just couldn't believe my baby was gone. The day before he was was playing grabbing his feet sticking his tongue out at me it was so cute and he was gone it just couldn't be true I felt so numb everyone kept saying I'm so sorry for your loss , the cornor showed up and he told me that it was most likely SIDS I never in a million years think it would happen to me I thought maybe if I never went to sleep he still be here I just kept thinking maybe if. My husband works out in the ocean so I had to call him and tell him our son was gone that was hard. They told us we needed to start making arrangements I didn't know what that meant I was in shock every time I closed my eyes I saw Devin just laying there not moving. The next day we had to go to the funeral home to make arrangements picking out his coffin was hard I never thought I would have to do this.Why me?What did I do? The one we picked out looked like a bassinet then we had to pick a place to bury him I did not want to do it but I knew we had to the next two days were the hardest letting my baby go and having to say goodbye because I would never see him again I would never be able to hold him watch him grow up . and i would have given anything to have held him one more time.

How will heaven be?
As far as I can see
It will have huge bells
And will be situated on clouds
It will have many golden wells
That will so often swell
Rain will be abundant
And the sun will shine all day long
Angels will play on the harp
The sweetest summer song
Music that will touch the heart
While those beneath will shed drops of sorrow
Little will they know what will happen on the morrow
But to them up above
As plain and clear it will be
As far as far as I can see
Yes there will be misty alleys
And lush green meadows
Fresh with the fragrant smell of spring
Winter will never be bitter
Summer never so hot
Autumn never so bare
And resources never so scarce
Food for all will be relished by all.
Grateful we’ll be as grateful can be
Mountains high and strong and brown
Surrounding that hidden land,
Beautiful and vast seas I see
There colour as blue as sapphire can be
And the white waves lashing upon the shore
Sitting on the flattened grey rocks
Who would not call it absolutely heavenly?
However it might actually be,
But can we still not see
There will lie behind this seen
A relieving feeling of bliss
For where not have we been
But is this not by all believed
That after one’s decease
This is the land of eternal peace
Where we all ultimately reach?

Thinking of you on your birthday Devin
But that is nothing new
For no day dawns and no day ends
Without a thought of you.
We cannot send a birthday card,
Your hand we cannot touch,
But God will take our greetings
To the one we love so much.

In a baby castle, just beyond your eye,
Your baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who are you to wish him back into this world of strife,
No, play on your baby, they'll have eternal life.
At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes your eyes,
You'll hear their tiny footsteps come running to your side
Their little hands caress you so tenderly and sweet,
You'll breathe a prayer and close your eyes and embrace them in your sleep.
Now you have a treasure that you rate above all others
You have known true glory,
You are still their mother.
Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Devin"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?
Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.
Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.
The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.
No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Son of yours.
You Gave You Took Away - by Sharon Wheeler
As I travel across this land
There is something missing today
It’s my Angel child
The one God took away
He gave me that beautiful child
Then he took them straight away
What was the point I asked
As I knelt down and prayed
I never got to see my child play
And grow like all the others
I thought Lord that was my job
A child, and me to be the Mother.
I never even got any warning
Nothing was ever said
I woke up that sunny morning
To find my sweet child dead.
You gave them life, you stole it
You broke my heart in two
Why? Why? Dear Lord
That’s all I ask from you?

The day your angel wings took flight,
a beautiful new star lit up the night,
our tragic loss is heavens gain,
our hearts feel heavy with this pain.
With the angels you will soar,
in our hearts forever more,
sleep tight angel baby, please stay close by,
and watch over us from your cloud up high.
Tiny angel, so perfect in every way,
we think of you with so much love,
each and every day.

Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama please don't cry~
"Cause I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies."
Please, try not to question God,
Don't think he is unkind
Don't think He sent me to you,
and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child,
and I'm needed up above
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you
and watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost,
that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze,
from a gentle wind that blows
That's me, I'll be there,
planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing,
and your heart feels a little tug,
That's me, I'll be there,
giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.
SLEEP TIGHT LITTLE ANGEL
