I’ll lend for you a little while, 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, till I call her back, take care of her for me? She’ll bring her charms to gladden you, and shall her stay be brief, You’ll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay, as all form 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 will you give her all your, love-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, they will be done.’For all the joy this child shall brings, the risk of grief we’ll run. We’ll shower her with tenderness and love her while we may, And for the happiness we’ve known, forever grateful stay. And should the angels call for her much sooner than we planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
Sometimes things happen for reasons we just can't understand. We are presented with difficult situations every day, but none so devastating and overwhelming as what you have lived through. I have shed tears for you today, reading the story of your precious little Kiah Grace. How beautiful she is! She forever lives in your minds, and she was able to live her life to its fullest extent in the eyes of our Lord. There are no words that I could say to offer condolences or comfort to you. This beautiful dedication you have created for Kiah is simply beautiful. I can let you know I have said a prayer for you both, and Kiah just now. I also prayed that my Mom, whom I lost 14 years ago, reach to Kiah and give her a hug and kiss from me. You have a beautiful daughter! May she rest in peace!
I was googling my little girls name to find the meanings from various places and I stumbled upon your story. I found it so cool that there was another little girl with the name Kiah Grace (my 3 /12 year olds name is Kiah Marley Grace) and I thought Kiah was uncommon! Please accept my condolences, I'm sure your angel was a beautiful bright little girl. Your story tore my heart apart, I couldn't imagine anything ever happening to my little girl. Once again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Your little Kiah Grace is a beautiful little Angel. Nothing can replace the emptiness in your hearts. You were truly blessed God chose your family to know and love her even for a short time.
It is hard to understand why these things happen. All we can do is turn to God for the answers. Heaven is full of tiny little Angels waiting to reunite with us someday.
My 2 year old granddaughter Kelsey made her way to Heaven in 2005 after months of abuse. Her Daddy was in Iraq just days from returning to her. She and Kiah will fill Heaven with joy.
I still visit this page and look at your pictures, and it always brings tears to my eyes as I remember your sweet spirit. God Bless you Jennifer, I still think of you often.
Remembering.../ Forever Your Mom
Today I am remembering the light and love you brought into my life. This day of love I am remembering..always and forever remembering. The life that sprang from your breath when you whispered in my ear..."mom, I have a secret"...you would press your little mouth to my ear and whisper.."secret, secret.."and then we would laugh. "I miss you" is not words enough, there are no descriptors for the emptiness that my heart feels...there just is. But because of you I am a better mother, because of you I am braver, because of you i can love more. Always and forever remembering... I love you Close
For u and your family / Michelle I really liked this lil quote....
We are all in the same boat, sometimes swimming towards joy and other times drowning in grief, but always rowing together. With love from Michelle DrummondClose
you are forever and always my baby.... / Mom Missing You Like Crazy
Dear Sweet Angel of Mine Kiah Grace.... I am missing you so much..I am always, but today seems to be harder than yesterday. My heart is heavy and my soul is tired. Missing you takes so much energy..it hurts to the very depths of my being, every cell of me misses every cell of you. YEt I try and remind myself that you are here still... That you are a part of me, so that I carry you with me wherever I go. This helps me for about a second. And then i remember over and over that I will not get to hear yourvoice when I get up in the morning or see your sweet face. it is too much somedays and today happens to be one of those days. i miss you and i love you forever and always mom Close

I miss you sweet baby angel Kiah Grace / Aunt Jessi (Kiah's Aunt )
Sweet Angel Kiah, I wish so badly you could meet your cousin Ella. I know you would have so much fun playing with her and showing her how to do things. She shares your name you know. There are times I see your spirit in her eyes. I think about you often and miss you terribly when Ella and I sing "Where is Thumbkin." I still hear your sweet, sweet voice singing it to me. I love you and miss you. Close
Dearest Baby Doll, As usual, your mommie (and new baby brother) is coming to Kansas to see me on my birthday and the 4th of July. This is the second time you haven't been able to see the fireworks and pick grandma's flowers and it is no easier than the first time. We always burn "snakes" in the same spot that we burned them together and they leave their tracks all year long. I always look at them when I go out back and I think of you. I think of you all the time and miss you all the time. You changed my life, sweet angel. I'm sending you kisses and hugs and cuddles because I can't give them to you in person. Grandma loves you.
I am writing you from Heaven, and though it must appear A rather strange idea, I see everything from here. I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card. A card of love for my mother as this day for her is hard.
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine, except I could not find a card from a child who lives in Heaven. She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside I had to leave she understands, but oh the tears she's cried.
I thought that if I wrote to you, that you would come to know That though I live in Heaven now, I still love my mother so. She talks with me, and dreams with me, we still share laughter too, memory's our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?
My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight. She writes poems to honor me sometimes far into the night. She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells She writes to other grieving parents trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr. Hallmark though I no longer live on earth I must find a way to remind her of her wondrous worth. She needs to be honored and remembered too. Just like the children of earth today will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know that you'll do your best I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest. Find a way to tell her how much she means to me until I can do it for myself when she joins me in eternity.
Kiah is very beautiful Angel in heaven. My prayers go out to you and your family. No words I say can make anything better for you, just know that you will be in my prayers. God bless! Mommy of an Angel Shayla AnnMarie Lenoir http://shayla-lenoir.memory-of.com
