Jimmy Angelo & Liriam Angeline Byrne

our angel jimmy angelo grew wings on september 9, 2006 on 19th week gestation he spent 2 precious
hours with us...

to our son jimmy angelo:
On mommy's birthday your presence was first felt...and how thankful we are to God for a
precious gift He gave.Signs of pregnancy started to become clear...though mommy almost felt sick,
the joy of having you is suffice enough to overcome all the pains...

17 weeks passed and you said 'Hi' to daddy with your first kick...It was so overwhelming
finally feeling your first move...Mommy and daddy waited for it every second of the day...oh what a
joy you brings everytime we feel you kick!...A week passed and everything went so fast...Suddenly
mommy was brought in the hospital...seems like you can't wait to see and feel mommy and daddys
embrace...September 8 came and you gave mommy and daddy your biggest kick...little did they know
that the 'hi' turned into a goodbye'

Mommy shared her fears to you for five days...begging you to hold on...the right time hasn't
come yet for you to survive in this world...September 9 came.....mommy had a high fever probably
from trying to keep you inside...for the first time mommy felt how scared you are...but can't
do anything...and as soon as mommy's fever subsided you have your first glance in our
world...Mommy knows that you still would want to stay inside her womb...and so does she...and if
only love can save you, you would still be here...but this decision is not ours to make... but from
Someone who knows better than any of us in this world...and for two hours you survived and somehow
you manage to make mommy and daddy smile through the hardest time of their life...

To you our sweet angel you will always have a special place in our hearts...

FOR LIRIAM ANGELINE MARY S. BYRNE
Our precious daughter Liriam Angeline grew wings on October 6, 2007 with a flicker of heartbeat that
lasted for almost two hours on 20 weeks gestation

our precious little girl....mommy found out that she's pregnant with you on june 15, 2007...the
first 12 weeks was a scary time for us. mommy bled several times but you hold on in mommy's
womb and were so glad you did

we saw how fast you're growing on every scan that we had...from a tiny bean to a beautiful
little girl...we saw you suck your thumb, put your hand on your head and play summersaults in
mommy's womb. did you know you got daddy's way of sleeping?...with one hand on the
head...we always laugh at you when you do that...you gave the sonographer a hardtime measuring your
head...we thought you're playing with her cause everytime she tried to measure your head
you're going to place your hand there...

we long for your kick as you get bigger...and alas on your 17th week mommy finally felt your tiny
kicks...poor daddy being left behind...your movement isn't strong enough yet for him to be able
to feel you...

after one week finally daddy was able to feel your movement and i will always remember
that...that's the day when i asked you to let him feel your kick and you did...every night
daddy's waking you up just to feel you...and you're probably listening to him cause
everytime he stroke and whispers on my belly you'll be moving around...its like a child running
towards her father to give him a hug and a kiss...

for several weeks mommy stayed in bed with a stitch on her cervix to try to keep you inside...people
around me tells me how boring my life was but they don't know that feeling you move everyday is
the most wonderful time of my life and being on that bed just me and you is a very precious time...

we had a glance of you again on your 20th week scan and there you are so perfect, with eyes, ears,
nose, five finger and toes...we saw you cover your face, sucking your thumb and of course placing
your hand on your head...we're so happy to see you again...

we thought that finally God is giving us a living child to raise and love in this world but we
didn't know He has a different plan for you and for us...two days after your scan mommy's
sac with all the fluid came out...but you're such a fighter 24 hours without any fluid in
mommy's womb you were able to glance into our world with your heart still beating...and we
always treasure that moment when we held you, cuddle you and kiss you...we miss you so much and your
brother...we always wish that you're still here with us but probably God has better plan for
you...and someday will be able to hold you and kiss you again...

to you our precious angels you'll live forever in our hearts....

To Where You Are by Josh Groban

Who can say for certain
Maybe you’re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re still an inspiration
Can it be (? )
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn’t faith believing
All power can’t be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
’cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

I know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

To The Child In My Heart
O precious, tiny, sweet little one
You will always be to me
So perfect, pure, and innocent
Just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you and of your life
And all that it would be
We waited and longed for you to come
And join our family.
We never had the chance to play,
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle.
We long to hold you, touch you now
And listen to you giggle.
I'll always be your mother.
He'll always be your dad.
You will always be our child,
The child that we had.
But now you're gone...but yet you're here.
We'll sense you everywhere.
You are our sorrow and our joy
There's love in every tear.
Just know our love goes deep and strong.
We'll forget you never -
The child we had, but never had,
And yet will have forever.

I have not turned my back on you
so there is no need to cry
I’m watching you from heaven
beyond the dark and stormy skies
I've almost seen you fall apart
when you could barely stand
I asked the Lord to comfort you
and watched him take your hand,

He told me you're in more pain than I could ever be
he wiped his eyes and swallowed hard
then gave your hand to me
although you might not feel my touch
or see me by your side.
I whispered that I Love You
while i wiped each tear that you cried.
So please try not to cry for me
we will meet again one day
beyond the dark and stormy skies
where a rainbow leads the way.

A child who loses a parent is called an orphan
A husband who loses a wife is called a widower
A wife who loses a husband is called a widow
But there is no name for a parent who loses a child, Because there are no words to describe the
pain
