October 15, 1999

Several months ago, we realized that we wanted to do something on Tucker's due date to symbolize how important he was, is, and always will be to us.

On Friday, October 15, 1999, Todd and I released over 200 helium balloons into the sky. It was amazing to actually see what I had imagined. We videotaped it, and I hope to soon be able to post the video here. All in all, it was a happy day, rather than sad. I am so thankful for that.

Todd and I would like to express our deepest thanks to those of you who have remembered Tucker's due date. The gifts that he gave us will long outlive the sadness of his loss. The following are copies of e-cards that were sent to us.

Thank you.

 

I know that this will probably be an emotional day for you and I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and Tucker. Remember that he is always with you!! If you need anything, let me know... (((((HUGS)))))

~Your Child's With Me ~

I know your heart is filled with grief, you lost your only child. It is so hard to realize the depths to which you cry. I feel that there's a special place where little babies go. God protects them daily and gives them gold Halos.

So your son is in the arms of God and he watches you each day. I know its true cause he's right by you and always he will stay. So when you're sad or you feel blue just look into the sky, and the brightest little cloud up there has baby wrapped inside.

This baby boy that you lost is running in the sun. He's jumping on the clouds and having so much fun. His halo, it is sparkling cause God loves His children best. He's playing with the other children and hardly does he rest.

Your baby did not go away he is right there with you. Always in your heart, forever in your view. Remember that your son is here and always at your side. So don't you cry your child's with Me forever- he will guide.

On your shoulder sits an angel with softest gentle touch. He'll kiss your cheek to greet the day he loves you very much.

Something happened to me

on the way to work today...

...and then,

when I was having lunch...

...and later,

when I was listening to the radio...

...I guess it was a lot like most days...

...I just kept thinking of you.

With Tucker's Day and your big appointment tomorrow you are in my prayers even more than ever.

Just a little card to let you know that I am thinking of you and Todd!

I know that Tucker is watching you from heaven - cheering for you both

and for his new little brother or sister!

I thought you might need a little spot of kindness...

I'm here for you!

Thinking of you in a special way today on Tucker's due date.

Hoping you will soon be celebrating the life of a child conceived on

this date! What a way to turn something sad into something glad!

True Friends

There are many people that we meet in our lives,

But only a very few will make a lasting impression,

On our minds and hearts.

It is these people that we will think of often,

And who will always remain important to us,

As true friends.

-Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

I feel so blessed to be your friend

I want you to know I am thinking of you today, on Peanut's Day. May

God bring you peace and a feeling of closeness with your son today and

always. Big Hug....

Thinking of You...

Thinking of you on this day that should have been a day of

such great joy, and ended up to be a sad one instead. Hoping

that time will help to heal the pain of losing Tucker.

Dear Krista

 

this is your guardian

  angel saying that

  even if things

 seem a little bit

  crazy where you

  are right now,

  from up here

  you look pretty

  good... that

tangled mess that's

  got you worried - it's just

  a dark cloud...

and there's a rainbow

on the other side.

A lot of people are praying for you guys right now! I hope you

find comfort in that! I'll keep checking your website for updates!

truly yours,

-Lori

~Shine On Me~

Krista, I paid another visit to your site today..Everything looks great with Dylann's memorial...Thanks again for all you have done.

I noticed too, that October 15th was Tucker's due date and wanted to wish you peace and comfort over the next few weeks. Please know that prayers will be with you.

Take care,

Hugs-

Oh shine on me from heaven's light.

Keep me safe within the night.

Hold me close within your arms,

So I can feel the love beyond.

I really couldn't sleep in here,

I cried and cried and she appeared.

This angel she came down for me,

And lifted me oh so tenderly.

Held me closely to her heart,

Felt the warmth that never parts.

Now that I am fast asleep,

I'm dreaming of the love I seek.

The love that anyone can know,

Cause God will always let it show.

So while I sleep the angels seek,

A way to make me feel the peace.

And now I'm dreaming on a cloud,

And Mom and Dad they are so proud.

They think I slept through the night,

But angel helped turn out the light.

October 15, 2000

It was so bittersweet that the Pregnancy/Infant Loss Remembrance Day coincided with Tucker's 1st "birthday".  Todd, Cooper, and I each released a balloon for Tucker (Mommy and Daddy each sent a blue one and Cooper sent a mylar Winnie-the-Pooh My 1st Birthday balloon).  Okay, Cooper slept, but it IS the thought that counts!

Todd and I would like to express our deepest thanks to those of you who have remembered Tucker's due date this year. We are still so thankful for the gifts that he gave us. We have received several lovely e-cards, but many of them are FlashPlayer documents and can't be copied here.  The following is a card made for us by Kelly Berrigan, of childloss.com.  A wonderful person and a wonderful friend.
