She was- and always will be..

Our sweetheart, our Lila Bird, & our Cupcake-

a blessing, a daughter, a cousin, a grandchild, a sister, a niece..

She means so much to so many, despite her short time on this Earth.

*   *   *

 

Rest in Peace, Sweet Girl- we can't wait until we see your face again in Heaven and hold you in our arms.  You are a wonderful blessing that we cherish and miss so very much.

 Dear Lila,

Where do I start? We miss you so much, you were with us for only 86 short days.

The coroner told us SIDS..  He told us he didn't like to make that decision, but after the autopsy he still wasn't entirely sure.  He went back and forth... Pneumonia... SIDS... Pneumonia... SIDS- at one point he called to say that the pneumonia was only a few spots and there was no way it could take a baby at such a small scale- it was just beginning...  Then back to SIDS he went.  Little did we know, almost a year later after we requested the autopsy report- he had listed it as viral pneumonia.  Our doctor said there was no way.  She thought for certain it was SIDS .  They went back and forth so many times, it seems we'll never know..   We made every effort to keep you healthy. Sometimes, things are just out of our hands. 

We’ve put all of our trust and faith in God, and our savior- Jesus.

They are the only ones who can get anyone through a time of trial such as this- with such grace and peace.   God is in control of everything!  It will all work out, and those who believed in Christ,

no matter how much suffering they had there, they will be free of that for eternity. 

Jesus died for all of us, he loves us.  That I know for sure. 

I miss you, Lila, but I know where you are, and I know I'll see you again.     In that, I am comforted.

Do not cry for me,  

for I am in heaven

A Poem I wrote for our Daughter-

Today I found a bird’s nest ..  So precious and so sweet.

It made me think of Lila bird-  who flew ‘fore she used her feet.

*

She made it up to the sky to visit with our Lord

She rests her head in Heaven now, Of this I am assured

*

Her work here was brief,  though we know it was finished

Her time here was short, But her impact, not diminished.

*

I’ll spy her face again one day, In God’s Heavenly home

We’ll be a family again, And we’ll never feel alone.

*

God will take away our worries, He’ll wipe away the tears

He’ll restore bodies to perfection, And remove the wrinkled years

*

Our hearts will be filled with joy, forever we will spend our days

Worshipping our Lord and savior and giving God all praise.

Feel free to contact us for support if you've gone through this and need a friend.  SIDS, or any type of loss (especially that of a child) is a situation that demands support and love to survive.  It is a difficult process, but together we can all make it through.  Better days lie ahead.  Hang in there. 

It has been two years since Lila passed away.  To this day we still don't know if it was SIDS, but then again- even if we were told SIDS- there are a lot of things that can fall under that heading.  It's just a label for a death of an infant that cannot be explained by humans.
