Subject: Our Littlest Angel, Carly Rae

In loving memory of our baby who God called to Heaven on May 21, 2000. It has been five years now, yet not a day goes by where I don't think about you and wonder why this happened. My heart aches for you and we long to hold you in our arms. We planted a tree in your memory, Carly, and Mommy wears an Angel pin every day in memory of you. Here is a poem Mommy wrote right after you left us.

You were to be our Christmas Baby,
We knew instantly God had blessed us with another child
And we excitedly shared this news with your siblings and our family and friends.
Daddy talked to you every night, Carly Rae
And Mommy held you close each and every night.
But on Sunday, May 21st, something happened
That God called you into His care.
God must have needed a very special Angel
To have taken you from our care.
Your heart was pure and untarnished when He took you
And you knew only the innocence of love.
When there has been a death people often say “We didn’t even get to say Goodbye”
But Little Carly Rae, we didn’t even get to say “Hi”.
We miss you, Carly and we long to caress your smiling face,
To hold you in our arms, Carly and tell you how much you mean to us.
To feel your arms around us and your tender kiss upon our cheeks
To hear you giggle, Carly and know that all is well.
Why did you have to go, Carly?
This we will never know.
Your sister, Cherilyn asks
“Why did God have to call the baby to be an angel? We wanted our baby.”
This we will never know either.
But one thing we do know, Carly,
You will never be forgotten and the hole in our hearts will be there forever.
You left an emptiness in us
And a tremendous hurt as well.
We never got to find out if you were a boy or girl
Or to hear your tiny heartbeat or catch a glimpse of you on an ultrasound.
When I was taken into the operating room and put to sleep
I wanted never to awaken again, Carly so that I could be with you.
But the Lord wouldn’t take me, Carly so I am left here to weep without you.
Even after this tragedy though we trust in the Lord
And know the day will come, Carly when we will all be together again.
I can just see you waiting with your tiny wings and the innocence on your face.
I have a feeling that you will be in the arms of your Great Grandpas
With Great Grandmas looking over.
You were due to arrive into this world on Mommy and Daddy’s 19th Anniversary
Just before Christmas, Carly
But now, rather than being our Christmas Baby
You will be our Littlest Christmas Angel, in our hearts forever.
We will never forget you, Carly
And we plan on getting an Angel and a white flowering tree to remember you by.
We love you and miss you so very much, Our Littlest Carly Rae.
