Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Support Group

We planted a tree for James. We celebrated his birthday by going to the Ocean City Boardwalk. The kids had a great time. It must be so hard for you to lose one of the twins. Were they fraternal or identical twins? I'll keep you in my prayers.

We planted a tree for Joshua as well and went to the grave and released balloons....with notes with my email if anyone found them and I got 2 responses one went about 80 miles from release point and the other about 160 miles ...

this was our note your welcome to use it if you decide to release balloons with notes....


Calling all the angels-
It's a special day
For Joshua’s turning one year old today!

Opening presents and blowing out the candle on your cake
You’ll sing and dance and play.
Only we can’t celebrate in the traditional way.
You’ll spending you First Birthday in Heaven this year.

We wanted to do something
Just for you today
To let you know that you are loved
More than words can say

You came into our lives a year ago today.
And from that moment we loved you so,
God sent us a special little boy
That was taken way too soon

Balloons will be sent to you up above today filled with our love.
We can only imagine you catching and playing with them.
So Joshua on your first Birthday in Heaven
We hope you have a fun filled day.

We love you, mommy and daddy


I will be keeping you in my prayers on this day

you can order butterflies, the come in "sleep state" when you open them, they fly away.

Not sure where to get them (on-line somewhere), but a friend who lost one of her twins did this on his birthday, so it was fun for the surviving twin, but also a remembrance of the one she lost.

My Audrey will be one on July 14. I love the letter inside the balloon...I am going to come up with something nice like that...and what a great idea to include your email addres...to see that your baby can touch lives all over the place. We are getting a tree planted at her grave site. I am also going to try and get her daycare to plant something in her remembrance...if I can ever get up the courage to call them. whatever we do, I am sure it won't be easy. But, we just have to think that our babies are watching down on us while they are playing together.

It is going to be such a bittersweet day for you to celebrate Xavier when Alex did not get to make it to this day. You have to celebrate for Xavier even if you aren't feeling it....you have to do it just because Alex didn't get a chance. I do think a balloon relase is awesome. Send balloons to your Alex in Heaven, for his party up there.
We recently had our daughter Baptized...this is my Nick's little sister. We had her party. It was her day, but truly the morning of it....I was missing Nick. The last time we had a party at the same place was 3 days before Nick died. The last time I was at this place, my Nick was still with us....so I quietly and discreetly brought Nick's urn....put it on the mantle....didn't say a word that I did this....and our Nick was with us....it isn't the way I want him to be there, but I take what I can get now....it's the crappy part of being an angel mom.
