Look here * michael jackson heal the world | x wing alliance | speed racer | I have done it twice in my life and if I ever do it again it will be for my own use only, not the publics, but for now it helps to pay the bills.

Oh the day that you can meet her! she will take you in her arms and love you, as she did me in all of my life. Ask her to sing to you Puff The Magic Dragon, as she sung it to many years ago. Matthew, you have a wonderful loving family waiting to see you when we join you in Gods house.

Comments:I have read your story and I must say how much I admire you for going through with your pregnancy. I found out on the day of my 20 week ultrasound scan that my baby girl had anencephaly. The words "incompatible with life" broke my heart. I made the painful decision of terminating my pregnancy, as I could not put myself or my baby girl through 4 more months of torture. I gave birth to her 4 days later on 15th April 2005 and she looked nothing like I imagined, she was beautiful. Although I feel empty and feel I can't carry on, I know she's being looked after in heaven. Your story is inspiring, and I hope I can carry on and be brave and strong for my little girl. Ellie Marie, born 15/04/05 weighing 5.9 oz, I miss you and I love you. You will always be a part of me. Anybody reading this, please get in touch if you want to talk.

lost my son 4 years ago. He lived a week after delievery.
I found out the same way, an ultra sound. What touch me
from your web site was "THE DANCE" this was our song too!
I cry everytime I hear it. It is so true. I would not
have changed anything in the world other then for him to be
here with us. I have since had a boy two years later. I
look at him and see my angle in him.

Missy and Steven,
What a bonny baby. Hes a sweet little fella. Missy you could
have been me with those words you wrote about yr feelings.
Did you walk like a zombie for awhile? I did, then I buried
myself in books, lots and lots of books.
I wanted answers and now its only since being on the net
Im starting to find them.
I have become very spiritual now because of what happened
to me.
Meeting folk such as yourselves is a blessing because you
walk my talk and understand.
Matthew, your beautiful XXXXX

start with a goodbye but all children need to be acknowleged
. your children were very lucky to have two parents who
truly cared about them. Matthew was only in your arms for a
short while but he touched your very heart and soul. I am
very proud of my brother and sister-in-law for being so
strong and for having the faith to try again when many
others would have given up. You both deserve all the
happiness in the world. Love Jennifer

Comments:Missy and family,
I Corinthians 1:27 Others don't know this about
you, Missy. I will never forget how much YOU helped ME when
I found out in November of 1992 - the SAME year Matthew was
born and died, that my baby had the same condition. You
stayed with me on those long night phone calls clear across
the nation!, sent me letters of hope and birth preparation
ideas and became the sister I never had. You are the angel
of grace to me. The grace that can see beyond the physical
deformities of a child and see the worth of it's soul. Thank
you for helping me then and now. Matthew's page is
beautiful and in my heart of hearts - Matthew is Kristina's
big brother. God Bless You. Maria

It was a joy to be your Grammy, if only for nine months.
You opened my eyes and my heart, sweetie, and I will never
be the same. Because of you I have learned to enjoy
and to live every moment, it may be the only moment you
have. And your life reminded me of what is really
important...family. I will always remember, love and miss
you, little one.
