Just a note of thanks to my Den family for your support in this dark hour... my daughter is fine and back home...and sending you her love  too!!


 


"Dark Is This Night"


 

Dark is this night as we wait

Numb before the eyes of God

Emotions raw …tears burn the soul

Leaving us just speechless as we wait

Numbness embraced our thoughts

Eyes wide open gazing into this dark night

Knowing nothing can stop this hurt

Although miles apart we are connected

Your every heart beat

Just beats for your child in pain

Eventually after countless hours

Zoe was born so very quiet

So peaceful in her mothers arms

No sadness could go deeper than this

No smile to be traced

Just a calm expression upon her tiny face

Rest in peace my little one

Within our hearts Zoe love

You will forever be

My Dear friend ..Tinka
My prayers are with you And your daughter
Someone told me long ago
That all newborns are Angels in waiting
I wish to believe that, The posted picture
Has broked this old aging heart
Tears flow with prayers, this is a sad moment.
God Bless

Love & peace

((((((Tinka)))))),

This one hurts...we are family here; we all experience the same highs and lows, and celebrate each triumph and loss. I feel yours, deeply....please accept my inadequate sympathies. Powerfully moving, heartbreaking poetry...the saddest, yet. :( I love you, Sweetie, and know you're in my prayers, as is your daughter.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Oh Grandma Tinka! I am in tears with you! A big strong hug..
The very meaning of the beautiful name Zoe is LIFE! That bless-ed tiny baby is with Jesus now - and more alive than we are! I believe
her life [in the womb] and death [in the world] will have an immeasurable effect on your entire family...and friends, as well.

My heart to yours,Tinka; I am here if you need me...
Please pass our love & prayers on to your daughter, too.
In deep sorrow and love, Rhonda & Family
