This is very hard for me to write but I wanted to let everyone know my Zoey Angel's story. On November 28, 2008 I went to the Hospital at 5:45am having full blown contractions at 2 minutes apart. They were quickly becoming harder and closer together. When they checked me I was already dilated past a 6 and the sack of water was already in my birth canal and ready. They rushed me up to OB and at 7am I delivered my beautiful baby girl. I was only 21 weeks and 3 days pregnant. She was born breathing and with a heart beat. She even was moving her hands and feet a little bit. Unfortunately, at that young of an age she was unable to survive. She was perfect in every way. She weighed 12.5 oz and was 10 inches long. She looked so much like my Logan as a baby, with my Emma's cute little nose (she even had the little crease in the middle of her nose like Emma). She had long slender fingers and big feet with long tiny toes. She was beautiful!!! Her tiny heart stopped beating sometime right after 10am. Logan & Emma and our family were able to come in and see her right after she was born and hold her. Logan said she should be named Zoey and Emma said Angel so they named her for us. Zoey Angel McDonald. Most of our family members were able to come up and see her as well. The hospital staff as well as the doctor were amazing. I couldn't have asked for better or more sympathetic care. We had traveled home to NC to visit our families for the holiday so we were at our local hospital with different doctors and nurses without my medical records. The doctor told me that if we ever decided to get pregnant again I wouldn't be at any higher risk than I was this time. They are testing the cord blood for possible infection and the placenta for possible abruption. We won't know any of the results for a few days. We were totally unprepared for this as it happened so quickly. I've never had problems during pregnancy and just assumed that everything was going to be normal and was only worried about getting a doctor to let me try a VBAC this time. When my contractions started I didn't believe it was happening. I was only 21 weeks, I wasn't supposed to be in labor. The doctor also told me it wasn't anything I did to cause this to happen. We had traveled 5 hours to come home for Thanksgiving but he said that wasn't an issue. He said it was just something that happens and it's very rare and no one can predict it. If I wouldn't have been so far dilated they would have tried to stop my contractions but i was too far along. Soon after she passed, and I was recovering and holding my tiny baby the nurses said I needed to let them know what funeral home we were going to use and start planning the service and let them know what time they would be there to pick her up. I've never planned a funeral before and didn't know where to begin or how we would even pay for it. I was very lucky that my family were all there to help. My Mama and aunts & uncles began making all the preparations and arrangements at our request. So many decisions and so much planning had to be done. It was a whirlwind. We still have to pick out and buy a grave marker but we are taking our time with that. My aunt bought a Christening teddy bear that was wearing a Christening Gown and Bonnet. She had her Mother In Law remove the gown and fix it for Zoey to wear. She even sewed up the earholes in the bonnet. They brought it to us in the hospital and Jeffery and I dressed her together. The gown was beautiful on her. She looked like a tiny baby doll. We wrapped her in a pink baby blankie we had already bought and my mom bought two tiny baby dolls (one dressed in yellow and the other in purple) to be from Logan and Emma to go in the casket with her. She was absolutely beautiful! The funeral home came and picked up her tiny beautiful body at 4:30pm. We had a small graveside service for her yesterday at 11am. My Sister-In-Law Jennifer played her flute and Jeffery's cousin Glen played his Trumpet. They played Jeasus Loves Me. My Grandpa did the service. He read a letter my Uncle Tim wrote for the service (he lives in NJ and was unable to make it) and he spoke of how Zoey was an angel in heaven that God needed sooner than we could understand. He had a very difficult time speaking as he is so tenderhearted and family oriented. Then my Mama got up and spoke. She read a letter she had written to Jeffery, Me Logan & Emma. It was absolutely beautiful. After the service we placed flowers at her tiny casket and my aunt passed out balloons (mylar heart balloons for Jeffery, Logan, Emma & myself and pink and white balloons were divided to the grandparents and aunts and uncles and families). We wrote messages to Zoey Angel on them and released them to heaven, all together. It was very beautiful. Zoey Angel was buried at the feet of my Granny in a beautiful graveyard. We couldn't have made it through the last couple of days without the love and amazing support of our family and friends. Thank you all so much for your prayers and kindness. I know it is going to be a long hard road to recover from this horrible tragedy and we will need everyone's love and support for many days, weeks, months and years to come. RIP my little Zoey Angel McDonald.
We love you!!!
I want to say a very special thank you to my Mama, Daddy, Mother In Law Cathy, Grandpa, Aunt Jo Jo, Uncle Tommy, Aunt Cherylene, Aunt Rebecca, Aunt Suelynn, and the many many more people that helped us make Zoey Angel's funeral possible and so beautiful.
"Remember Me" (song by Deanna Edwards)
Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.
Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!

All my love Sylvie
A Birthday In Heaven - by Kris Smith
I heard you crying yesterday,
And felt your heart-sent love.
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.
You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My Birthday (way up here).
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.
God planned a special day for me,
He told me with a wink.
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think).
Balloons will fill the streets for me,
They float up through the clouds.
And we have lots of friends up here
That make us laugh out loud.
There is a Birthday carousel,
Jewelled horses ride the wind,
With music playing, oh so sweet…
The magic never ends.
I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing.
We ride our bikes and play jump rope
And sleep in Angel’s wings.
We’ll have our cake and ice cream
And open gifts - SURPRISE!
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies.
With love from your little Angel XX
happy valentines day
hugs

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
♥. ♥.♥.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
♥.. ♥.♥.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above

LOVE 2 YOU AND UR FAMILY ALWAYS LOVE JADE
Ask my mum how she is...
My Mum she tells a lot of lies,
She never did before,
But from now until she dies,
She'll tell a whole lot more.
Ask my Mum how she is,
And because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie,
Because she can't describe the pain.
Ask my Mum How she is,
She'll say 'I'm alright'
If that's the truth, then tell me,
Why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mum how she is,
She seems to cope so well,
She didn't have a choice you see,
Nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mum how she is,
'I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping'
For God's sake Mum, just tell the truth,
Just say your heart is broken.
She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine,
But if you ask her how she is,
She'll lie and say she's fine.
I am here in Heaven,
I cannot hug from here,
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold,
I'll say 'You're lucky to get in here, Mum,
With all the lies you told!'
christmas angel
When we think of the Christmas angel
On top of the Christmas tree
She has pride of place
For all below to see.
When we think of the Christmas angel
The messenger of the Lord
He is so important in the Christmas story
Bringing God's Holy word.
When we think of the Christmas angel
We think of our child so dear
Mummy and Daddy miss you so much
Especially at this time of year.
When we think of our Christmas angel
We hope and we pray
That you know how much we think of you
And love you every day
Merry Christmas little oneXXXXX
