Multiple Baby Pileup: Goodbye

Wednesday, January 2, 2008

Goodbye

Jack died today at 12:14 pm. He was in my arms with his dad holding his hands.

I don't think I will ever have one second for the rest of my life where I don't miss him with all my heart.

He is finally at peace, and I was finally able to see his beautiful face, and hold him and hug him and kiss him, like a regular baby.

Thank you for all your prayers. Please, keep praying that my sweet boy is happy in heaven.

I guess I'm just not the kind of person who thinks negatively and I really convinced myself that Jack would end up okay. My heart hurts so much for you, so I can't even imagine it on your level. I wish there was something we could do...Please know we're thinking of you, PJ, Jack & the girls.

Just remember that God has a plan, no matter how hard it is for us to understand. God gave you a tiny chance to get to know Jack before he returned to be an angel. I don't even know you or Jack, but I'm already affected by him. If anything your blog is a reminder to us to cherish what we take for granted.

We've never met - I've been reading your blog since seeing a post about your beautiful family on the nest. I wonder if you'll even make it through the hundreds of comments to this one, but I had to write. It's funny how we feel such compassion for strangers, how I'm sitting here, with tears running down my face, crying with an aching heart for a woman I will never meet, along with hundreds of others who are doing the same. After reading your posts, it is clear that the spirit of your baby boy will live on through you and your husband, and that your girls will know all about their brother and how much he was loved. I wish you unfailing strength, and, some day, peace of heart and mind in knowing that you are the best mother that little boy could have hoped for.; 1/03/2008 12:45 AM

Written by Michael Joncas

Isaiah 40:31

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run,
and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint."

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord, "My Refuge,
My Rock in Whom I trust."

Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under His Wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.

Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come.

Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
For to His angels He's given a command,
To guard you in all of your ways,
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.; 1/03/2008 1:51 AM

There are so many of us who have walked this story with you all along and have been praying eagerly for Jack's health and happiness and for your whole family. Now I am only praying for your peace and healing from all of this. I am so, so sorry for this terrible loss but I know that Jack can now be held in God's hands for eternity- and held in so many people's hearts as well.

There are no words and nothing to do that can make you feel better, except, hopefully knowing your precious Jack is no longer in any pain, discomfort, or uncertainty. He IS with God and he is your own personal angel. None of us understand God's plans sometimes, but I hope you are able to keep faith that there is a plan and that your beautiful baby is part of that.

I came across your blog a few weeks ago via The Nest and have been following it ever since. I am so sorry for your loss. May time, God's grace and the beautiful memories of your son comfort you. I agree with those who said Jack's short time here had a purpose and think he certainly achieved what he was sent to do.

McGee said...: Someone may have posted this already amongst the hundreds of comments, but I wanted to share this poem:

LITTLE ANGELS

When God calls little children
to dwell with Him above
we mortals sometimes question
the wisdom of His love.
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to His fold,
so He picks a rosebud
before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few
to make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult
still somehow we must try,
the saddest word mankind knows
will always be "Goodbye."
So when a little child departs,
we who are left behind
must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

I am not a mother-to-be, nor a mother, so I am unable to understand the love of parent to Child, but I understand the fact of losing a loved one! It is not easy and never will be! You have so many great friends and family who have supported you through day 1, and I do hope this support and love will remain in this time of need!
I will pray for you and your family and most importantly, Little Jack! Please always remember he is with your grandfather right now, being taken care of with the most love possible!

I was reading your post when you found out what he had, and how angry, sad, lost in faith you were, I can relate so well. When we had our ¨family meeting¨ with the drs regarding our second triplet's serious condition, I asked the exact same questions .. "where is God when these things happen" "Why did she come here to suffer so much"? The only thing I can tell you, that after a year, and therapy, I have found comfort in God and knowing that my babies have reached perfection and are with God. Also, I have found comfort in knowing that they were happy in my tummy, and focus on those happy times together... only time will make you feel better (never forget). I will keep you in my prayers so that you find Strength during these difficult times.; 1/03/2008 8:08 PM

I actually had to step out of the unit for awhile to catch my breath...and all I could think of was you and Phil...I wanted to call you right away but knew not to since I wouldn't be much of a comfort at this point in time.I wanted to be able to hug you both and remind you of all our great times we had with Jack in the NICU...laughing and enjoying being with my little buddy. It's times like this that I wish I could make all the hurt go away and after 26 years as an NICU nurse one would think it would get easier but I realize every year it just gets harder. Jack will always have a special place in my heart and forever will be a part of the SBMC NICU family. Love Janet; 1/04/2008 12:36 AM

WelshWaffle said...: Dear Megan & PJ,

Words can't express how sorry I am for your loss. I wanted to send you a poem that I received after the passing of my Dad... it comforted me... may it do the same for you. Wishing you both strength and peace...

Here's the poem:
The Rose Beyond the Wall
Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light,
Watered and fed by the morning dew,
Shedding it's sweetness day and night.

As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shone a beam of light.
Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light through the crevice's length
And unfolded itself on the other side.

The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before,
And it lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing it's fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve
And make our courage faint and fall?
Let us faith and hope receive
The rose still grows beyond the wall,
Scattering fragrance far and wide
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forevermore.
