Angel Mommies....
Many of you already know I lost my son this past May 29, 2014 at 36 weeks. My son Eli Roberto was my first and only child. I will forever love and miss him. This was supposed to be our first x-mas with our baby.... instead he is in heaven enjoying God's Kingdom....
I want to do something special.,.... something to make me feel a little bit happy on Christmas day.....
I want to place a Christmas tree... but I don't want just any Christmas tree.... I want the most special Christmas tree ever....and maybe you angel mommies can make one as well.....
If you mommies/daddies don't mind sharing your angel baby's first name and date of birth. I would like to place a stocking in the Christmas tree for each little angel in this support group.....
I will start with my son's name

Thanks in advance for your cooperation :0)

Martha, the tree is amazing. I'm sitting here crying because for the firsttime i feel like maybe, just maybe Emma realy is in a better place and surrounded by love. Thank you so much, you don't know how much it means to me.

Well done Martha, what a wonderful tree, thank you for including my little girl, I know it's been a long time since I lost her but I've rarely spoken of her to people in the last 12 years, it's nice to be able to talk freely to people like you ladies who understand what it means to a mothers heart to lose the baby that you had dreamt about, and loved from the moment you knew you were pregnant. I'll be thinking of you all during the holidays.

When I lost Eli ... it's sad to say it but it seems like I died too..... my friends completely stopped talking to me..... I have a few people that i can talk to and some of my coworkers who dont mind talking about Eli the way I do..... I dont want to stop talking about him .... i want people to remembet that he was alive that he made me the happiest person on earth the little time he was here. Now although i lost some friends... i gained some SISTERS at heart....who understand me... and know how i feel about my angel baby. I am glad you share your daughter's name too...thanks

Am I too late? What a wonderful idea to share this with all of us! My loss was some time ago, but I do like to remember him. His name is Cameron James, January 21, 2000.

Oh, I just looked at the pictures of the tree..................how beautiful! It brings tears to my eyes to think that there are so many of us that this has happened to. Bless you for bringing us all into your heart:)

Will add Logan to my special Christmas tree

Beautiful idea. My second child, Fiona Grace, was born August 25, 2014. The only way I'll be able to make it through this Christmas, is by honoring her in different ways. We've made a few personalized ornaments and we'll light a candle on the Christmas Eve and Day. So thank you so very much. You have such a kind heart.

Marthar1201 12/08/2014

Thanks.... I had to do something ro honor my baby.... and what better way than pitting all lil angels in the tree along with him. I will add Fiona as well
