This is the saddest time I have seen on TCS. May you all find peace in this difficult time.

The Last Night that She Lived
(Emily Dickinson)

The last night that she lived,
It was a common night,
Except the dying; this to us
Made nature different.

We noticed smallest things, --
Things overlooked before,
By this great light upon our minds
Italicized, as 't were.

That others could exist
While she must finish quite,
A jealousy for her arose
So nearly infinite.

We waited while she passed;
It was a narrow time,
Too jostled were our souls to speak,
At length the notice came.

She mentioned, and forgot;
Then lightly as a reed
Bent to the water, shivered scarce,
Consented, and was dead.

And we, we placed the hair,
And drew the head erect;
And then an awful leisure was,
Our faith to regulate.

I guess that should be thanks.
She has alot of thick long hair too. But she has hair on her ears,forhead and back. Which is a little wierd. Amber was worried that she wouldnt have hair. I wish she could have seen her.

You're welcome, and really, she is stunning!! Don't worry its perfectly normal for newborns to be hairy little monkeys at first!
Remember, Amber did see her, she is holding her in her arms now, and will forever.

Oh John - She is just adorable! What a beautiful baby girl you have there.

Amber was a wonderful woman full of amazing spirit that always made me smile everytime I saw her post.

I may not have known her personally, but she was just a fantastic woman who clearly loved you, all your kits and Kaelyn very dearly.

Prayers for Kaelyn as she grows up into a beautful woman just like her mother

John,

If it makes you feel any better, know this....all the bridge babies now have a new and wonderful angel looking after them.


Also know that your baby has many, many wonderful god mommies and daddies watching over her.

John...
I wrote this for a friend of mine who lost his father a few years ago.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

HEROES


Hero - a word used not only for those
\twho seem to have 'the right stuff'
A hero can be someone who feels
\tthey've never given enough
To help others live better,
\thappier and more enriched lives.
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes
\tthey are sons, daughters, husbands and wives.

Heroes are always faithful, loyal and strong
\tThere to keep us safe whenever things go wrong
Our heroes can never be replaced
\tThe goodness of their hearts won't be erased

Heroes can be gentle
\tTeaching a child his first melody
Or brave and hearty
\tFighting for our freedoms courageously

A helping hand,
\tan encouraging word
Echoes down halls of knowledge
\twhere their laughter is still heard.

These heroes never leave us
\tthough from this earth they depart
Just look inside yourself
\tfor they live on in your own heart.

Everyone needs a hero
\tsomeone to show them the way
Whenever I think of heroes...I know
\tyou will be someone's hero someday.

God bless you & Kaelyn...she's a beautiful, beautiful child.

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Amber. Most of them she hated though. But I liked them alot.

This one was taken the day after we met each other. She was being a snob still.



She about killed me for taking this one of her. I had to hide my cell until I could get it onto the computer.


With her niece Emily (I think) shes so pudgy. Everyone says Kaelyn looks like a skinnier version of Emily as a newborn


With the terror Lily. I dont know what to do with Lily. She hates everyone but Amber and I dont know how to get her to like me.



With her RB dog Mariah. I never got to meet Mariah but it truly shows how much Amber loved her babies in this pic. Its my favorite of all I think.


Then Hippie Amber. Her mom sent this to me a couple weeks ago. I dont know how old she was in this one 16 I think.

John- Amber was such a beautiful woman
And little Kaelyn looks soooo much like her momma! I hope you don't mind- but here are some pictures that she had posted of her self in one of the threds she started. I couldn't help but think of how much little Kaelyn looks like her momma in that first picture
Any word on how little Kaelyn is doing tonight?

"My NB pic already had the grumpy look down.


Me 5 months












Me 8 months Dont I look honery.


Me 3


Me and my lil sis Sarah I was 4 and she was 18 months."

I dont mind at all. I cant sleep so I might as well do something other then wallow in my own misery. She sure was a cute baby. Its not fair. Amber's mom called at 12 and said that they had just left the hospital. Lava Girl was doing good and they got to hold her again. Her heartbeat keeps dropping kinda low every once in a while but then goes back up fiarly quickly so they are keeping an eye on that. But otherwise she seems to be doing pretty good. Her parents said they want me to put my name down on the birth certificate as the father. But Im still not sure. I dont want to do anything illegal.

I agree- besides- even though you know differently- they can't legally prove it without a dna test. i think you should put your name down- sooner rather than later to protect little kaelyn. You are her rightful father
