THERE IS NO PAIN GREATER THAN THE DEATH OF A CHILD...
My 19 m/o baby Elijah passed away on Tuesday morning, May 3rd 2005. He would
have turned 20 months that following Monday. We've already held his funeral (the
day before Mother's Day) but the cause of death is still unknown.
Monday May 2, 2005, Elijah woke with a fever. I let him sleep after breakfast
and when he woke for lunch I gave him a peanut butter & jelly sandwich and
Tylenol chewable tabs. He laid down for his mid-afternoon nap on our couch in
the den. I walked into the den an hour later and saw him sitting up looking at
TV; he looked better, but even when he was sick he was always smiling and
playful. When my older two boys got home from school we went to the grocery
store so that I could make something for dinner that night. After dinner I sat
at my computer and my oldest son Roshan asked if I could play his favorite song
"Numb (Encore)", and so I did. All three of them...Roshan 9....Lorenzo 4....and
Elijah 19 mos were dancing all around me as I watched. Elijah no longer had a
fever and I even made a point of saying "My baby's not sick anymore" and picked
him up and hugged and kissed him. My husband came around the corner from the
kitchen, smiling at the site of Elijah dancing because I had mentioned to him
earlier that Elijah had a fever. After the kids were done dancing and playing I
brought them all upstairs. I laid Elijah on my bed so that he could fall asleep.
I sat on our futon folding the rest of the laundry and watched as he fell
asleep. All the while my husband was in the shower. When I finished with the
clothes...I grabbed Elijah and picked him up off of my bed, and at that time my
husband came out of the shower and saw me carrying Elijah out of our room. He
was sleeping but he still was peeking out of his right eye at me and I just
smiled. I kept kissing him and smelling his sweet cheeks before I laid him in
his playpen...not knowing that it was going to be the last time I would see my
baby alive.
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say goodbye, you were
gone before we knew it, and only
God knows why.
My husband woke me up the next morning as it was routine for us all to get up
around 5 a.m. to take him to work. He usually gets the older two boys and I get
Elijah, but I just could not get up that morning. My husband then woke me up and
told me to look at Elijah. I got up from bed and walked out of our room into the
hallway and saw my husband sitting at the top of the steps with his face in his
hands, telling me to look at Elijah. My heart was beating really fast and I was
afraid of what I was going to see because if it wasn't of anything to worry
about my husband would've had Elijah in his arms as he had just left from the
kids' room. I could feel in my heart that something was terribly wrong but to
what extent I wasn't sure. I walked into the kids' room and over to Elijah's
playpen. Elijah was lying on his stomach with his face down in the pillow. I
leaned over to pick up Elijah from his playpen and he was already stiff. I
turned him over and death was staring at me in the face. It was the scariest
thing I have ever seen in my life, and for that moment my heart just stopped. I
didn't even feel as if that was my Elijah I was holding. I had to put him down
quick and run to the phone. I called 911 and paramedics, police officers and
even the fire department showed up at my house that morning. The operator tried
to tell me to do CPR on my baby but I just kept crying and yelling that I
couldn't even look at my baby...that I couldn't even hold my baby. The
paramedics all went up into the room and I know they were doing what they could
to resuscitate Elijah but I already knew in my heart that my baby was gone.

A Child Loaned
I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine', he said,
'For you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead.
He may be six or seven years, or even two or three,
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charm to gladden you, and, should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true
And from the throng that crowd life's lanes I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labour's vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call and take him back again?'
I fancied that I heard them say, 'Dear Lord, thy will be done,
For all the joys thy child shall bring the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may
And for the happiness we've known for ever grateful stay.
But, should the angels call for him much sooner than we'd planned
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
Sarah Yesterday
Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there;
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows;
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.

You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet Elijah, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.

If you have a special friend,
You have the greatest treasure,
For the devotion that she shows

When other friends have gone.

The world could ever hold,
To have a friend like you
Is a beauty to behold X

Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.

I will miss you be sure of that
There were so many good and bad times that we lived together
The details, the small things what didn’t seem important
Are the things that invade my thoughts as I remember you
I wish I could bring back time
To be able to see you again
To give you a hug
And never let you go
Yet I understand that your time came
That God has called you, to be by his side
That’s the way he wanted it, but I never thought
It would hurt so much
Who would think that life can end
In a second
Life is like dust, it spreads out in a moment
You came with nothing; nothing you take only what was within you
I wish I could bring back time
To be able to see you again
To give you a hug
And never let you go
Yet I understand that your time came
That God has called you, to be by his side
That’s the way he wanted it, but I never thought
It would hurt so much
“Don’t cry for me anymore
I am in place full of light
Where peace exists, where there is no evil
Where I can rest
Don’t cry for me anymore
It is so beautiful here, I never imagined
I want you to be happy, for you to be well
And when it’s your turn to leave I will see you here”
Maria Bonilla 2 weeks ago
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.
Love,
Kim
