I waited on pins and needles for the birth of my seventh grandchild, girl number 2. Little Chloe Lane. She arried 5 weeks early on Feb 22,2008. after spending 2 weeks in the hospital she came home and we all enjoyed her for Easter. Sadly she died the following Friday. March 28 at just 5 weeks old. These pieces are my tribute to our angel.

I just posted on Remembering Chloe Lane. I lost my son 29 years ago. I was an OB nurse for many years and have dealt with the loss of babies many times. I helped to start a support group and this helped me and many others. You are on the best road for healing by writing your feelings down as you progress to a place of peace. I wrote about my experience on storywrite. It's called weighing sorrow but you may want to want a while before you read it. Love and Light to you and Your family

Your words are sure to touch hearts of all who read your poem of Miss Chloe. I know you did mine. Your writing is one of a kind and melts lives everywhere.

The loss of your littlest angel Chloe, just wrenches my heart I am so very very sorry for your loss. I wrote this poem for a dear friend who lost his daughter and it may help you and your family find peace in her absence. I know that it did for them.
Petals of Love
Out of the thunder and the storm
Bloom flowers, from the rain.
It is the sorrows of our time
That gives the strength,
To our remain.
A child of God's, born unto you
Has heard the Angel's hearken
They summoned her back home,
To an eternal life in heaven
In the presence of her absence
She leaves for you to find,
The petals, reminiscent
Of her short and earthly time.
Memories are the blossoms
From the flowers of her life
Embossed forever on your heart
And pictured in your mind.
Find comfort in her memories
As a blessing, of her love for you,
The petals that she left behind
Are symbols of her love in kind.
God Bless and may peace find you and your family.
-
That you for posting this dear. It was very thoughtful of you.

Thinking of you and hoping that your pain is easing, now, Cathy. I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your Christmas Star poem "Hope" as being one you wrote with Chloe Lane in mind; I realize now that you meant Jesus. I hope your faith is a comfort to you during the holidays.
The photo of Chloe Lane in this list is darling.
-
I'll come back and read more of your heart later I promise. Your heart has captured mine and I wish to bring you comfort and peace and ask our Lord to please do so for you and your family. In the name of all that is Holy by the Spirit of Goodness and the Laws of Love.
Thank you dear Jesus.
