Katie was the little sister of her Brother Jacob
Katie past away in a home day care during her nap. We have been left with very little answers

children over 1

Katie sierra was born on Aug 17,05 and was my little girl she was the so precious and a happy little
girl she had a smile that would light up anyones heart and was a mommys girl she will be forever
missed. Katie was born premature but was so strong and was 10lbs by the time her due date came I had
her for such a short time it wasnt fair but god needed her, so i am strong for her brother Jacob
intill such time i can meet her in heaven.

Katie filled my life with such love, I dont think she will ever know how much she touched my heart,
she was my princess and such a angel she was content to boob all day long her favorite thing in the
world she loved to play and crawl everywhere and katie had just celebrated her first Birthday where
she had a blast with her new toys and her cake the she loved so much. If we could have only known
the short time we would have with her i would have stayed awake every min i could just to stare in
her beautiful face.


The weekend before katie past was labor day weekend and katie and her brother had a cold i took them
both to the doctor to be told they had a sinus infection. Was given antibiotics and sent home katie
and jacob took their meds and seemed to be getting better wednesday i dropped them off and katie
seemed just very happy and content that morning to nurse and play with her toys in her bath tub, if
i could have only know those last moments. I got them ready and prepared to go to school i had only
just started school so they had only been at the daycare for a week when i dropped her and jacob
off, it was around 3:00 i found out thru a phone call that katie had been found not breathing in her
crib. Im and still devasted she was fine that morning how could something so beautiful so full of
life go so quickly, she was worked on for over a hour the only sign that she was sick was a fever of
106, that im told was maybe higher, the daycare said she showed no signs of being sick other then
she seemed tired and thought she even looked lethagic so put her down for a nap and when she found
her 4 hours later yes 4 hours she was not breathing her death was ruled natural casues but i just
dont understand how a baby can be left for so long, I guess i will always have the what ifs run thru
my head but the truth comes down to katie was needed by god im so blest to have had her for the time
i did i have so many wonderful memories and will always be a mommy 2 two beautiful children 1 who
runs and 1 who flys

When God Calls Little Children

When God calls little children to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child,
Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold,
So He picks a tiny 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 that 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'll lend you for a little time
a child of Mine, He said.
For you to love while she lives,
and mourn when she is dead.

It may be six or seven years,
or twenty-two or three.
But will you til I call her back,
take care of her for me?

She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
and her stay, it shall be brief.
You'll have her lovely memories,
as solace for your grief.

I can not promise she will stay,
since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there,
I want this child to learn.

I've looked the wide world over
in my search for teachers true,
and from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you.

Now, you will give her all your love,
and not think the labor vain,
nor hate me when I come to call,
to take her back again.

I fancied that I heard them say,
Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joy this child shall bring,
the risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter her with tenderness,
we'll love her while we may,
and for the happiness we've known,
we'll ever grateful stay.

But, shall the angels call for her,
much sooner than we planned,
we'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and try to understand.




To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

What makes a mother?

I thought of you and closed my eyes
and prayed to God today.

I asked what makes a mother
and I know I heard Him say.

A mother has a baby
this we know is true
but God, can you be a mother
when your baby is not with you?

Yes you can He replied
with confidence in His voice
I give many women babies
when they leave is not their choice.

Some I send for lifetime
and others for a day
and some I send to feel your womb,
but there is no need to stay.

I just don't understand this, God,
I want my baby here.
He took a deep breath and cleared His throat
and then I saw a tear.

I wish I could show you
what your child is doing today
if you could see your child's smile
with all the others children and say

we go to earth to learn our lessons
of love and life and fear.
My mommy loved me so much I got to come straight here.

I feel so lucky to have a Mom
who had so much love for me
I learned my lessons quickly
and mommy set me free.

I miss my mommy oh so much
but I visit her everyday
when she goes to bed at night
on her pillow is where I lay.

I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
and whisper in her ear
mommy don't be sad today
I'm your baby and I'm here.

So you see dear sweet ones
your children are okay
your babies are born here in my home
and this is where they'll stay.

They'll wait for you with me
until your lessons through
and on the day that you come home
they'll be at the gates for you.

So now you see what makes a Mother
It's the feeling in your heart
it's the love you had so much of
right from the start.

Though some on earth may not realize
you are a mother
But when their time is done
they'll be up here with me some day
and know that you are the best one.
