tender age of 1 year 7 months and 24 days.

***************************************************
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.

Prayer for Those Who Suffer
For those who suffer,
and those who cry this night,
give them repose, Lord;
a pause in their burdens.
Let there be minutes
where they experience peace,
not of man
but of angels.
Love them, Lord,
when others cannot.
Hold them, Lord,
when we fail with human arms.
Hear their prayers
and give them the ability to hear You back
in whatever language they best understand.
Margaret A. Davidson

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.
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.

sweet dreams babe xxx
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.

When other friends have gone.

Of all the precious jewels
The world could ever hold,
To have a friend like you
