My son Brayden was born an angel.

No heartbeat, no air in his tiny lungs.

I was 30 weeks pregnant when I went to the hospital,

I no longer felt his tiny movements in my belly.

The doctors confirmed my worst suspicions.

My little boy was dead.

I felt alot of hesitation and fear with this

pregnancy. What kind of mother would I Be?

Now I May Never Know....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I miss my little boy more with each passing day.

He was buried with my Meme.

I Know she is taking the best care of him.

Please....... If you visit this site, say a

prayer for my tiny little angel.

I don't  want him to ever be forgotten.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brayden Wade is missed greatly

by family and friends

And will be remembered forever.

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me lie down in green pastures;

He leadeth mebeside still waters.

He restoreth my soul;

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness

For his name sake.

Yea though I walk through the valley of the

shadow of death, I will fear no evil;

For thou art with me;

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the

presence of mine enemies;

Thou anointest my head with oil;

My cup runneth over;

Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow

Me all the days of my life,

And I will dwell In the house of the

Lord Forever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   I will never sing you lullabies
Or tuck you in at night
I will never kiss a boo-boo
Or soothe you from a fright.
I will never read you stories
Or hear you sing a song
I will never put your toys away
Or teach you right from wrong.
I will never hear you laugh
Or ever see you smile.
I will never tickle you
Or just hold you for awhile.
I will never teach you letters
Or help you with your math
I will never play in a pool
Or get soaked in a bath.
I will never make you breakfast
Or prepare for you a snack.
I will never ever hug you
Or ever get hugged back.
I will never braid your hair
Or help you to get dressed
I will never tie your shoe
Or tell you how I'm blessed.
I will never play a game of tag
Or hide and go seek
I will never comfort when you're sick
Or hold you when you're weak.
All these things I'll never do
And it will hurt until forever
But you ask will I forget you?
And I'll tell you I will never.

 

 

 Lord.... I cannot live, yet cannot die
I'm left here alone, to always ask why?
I do not understand, and I never will
Why can't my child be with me still

The Lord replied, I'm always by your side....

Just take a breath, and hold my hand
There will only be one set of footprints in the sand
Your child is with me forever more
Smiling, laughing on Heavens shore

There is no more pain or sorrow there
Only happiness and eternal loving care
Somethings are meant to never be known
Your child was sent as an Angel on loan

Needed more in Heaven then on Earth
The price of love and all its worth
Although your gone, were never far apart
For you are forever kept in my heart..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Children who will never be you didn’t have a chance,
Not for lack of want or love but just by circumstance.
You started out from love and had just begun to grow,
And why you didn’t make it I guess I’ll never know.

Mommy and your Daddy made plans right from the start,
And although you were not born yet you lived within our hearts.
You were taken in an instant no chance to say good-bye,
And I am left here empty to ask the question why?

No Christmas or birthdays no shopping for toys,
Only a house that is silent without a child’s noise.
I stare at the darkness as tears stain my face,
And wonder where are you do you have a place?

Then I think about Heaven so far up above,
That’s where you must be surrounded by Gods love.
You were so helpless and tiny you see,
And I never realized you were not meant to be.

So if I cannot have you to nurture and to love,
I’m happy you’re in Gods care in Heaven up above.
I love you and I’ll miss the chance to watch you grow,
But someday we will be together truly this I know.

So I say to all my children the ones I cannot see,
I will always love you because you’re part of me.
You are still alive within my heart and you will always be,
Although my little angels you just couldn’t stay with me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the very beginning I loved you,
As I made plans to hold you and rock you:
You were tiny and helpless as you lay in my womb,
But something went wrong and soon you were gone;
My young heart was broken, my tears fell like rain,
I'd never known such heartache and pain.

I wonder who you look like, me or your dad,
Do you have my smile and his eyes?
Would you have been big and tall or tiny and small?
We had dreams for you that reached to the skies.
It was long, long ago and I still miss you so,
Thanks to Jesus, I'll see you in heaven.

I'll hold you in heaven someday,
When my trials on earth pass away;
The angels have rocked you, the Father watches over you,
I know you're waiting for me;
I never could hold you or tell you "Goodbye",
But I'll hold you in heaven someday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know that you are heartbroken
and sad that I am gone.
But I am in Heaven now, Momma,
and I've never once been left alone.


Oh I wish you could see me now.
Heaven is a beautiful place to be.
Jesus is the light that shines here.
And He walks daily with me.


Oh, the skies are never gray here.
And it never ever rains.
And, although I know you still feel it...
Up here, there is no pain.


Angels are always singing for me.
Their voices are beautiful and clear.
I am in the presence of loved ones.
And Momma, I haven't seen one tear!


I know that you are hurting for me.
And I can't make your pain disappear.
But if you could see me now, you'd know
I am happy in Heaven
and I still love you from here!

My First Christmas In Heaven


I am having my first Christmas in Heaven
A glorious, wonderful day!
I am standing with saints of all ages,
Who found Christ, the truth and the way

I am singing with the heavenly choir
I- who so loved to sing!
And, oh what celestial music
We bring to our Savior and King

I am singing the glad song of redemption,
How Jesus to Bethlehem came,
And why they called His name Jesus,
That all may be saved through His Name!

Oh, loved one, I wish you could be here!
No Christmas on earth can compare,
With all of the rapture in glory,
I witness in Heaven so fair!

You know how I always loved Christmas,
It seemed such a wonderful day,
With all of my loved ones around me,
We were so happy in every way.

Yes, now I can see why I loved it,
And, oh what a joy it will be,
When all of my loved ones are with me,
To share all the glories I see!

So, dear ones on earth, I send greetings,
Look up! Til dawning appears,
And, oh what a Christmas awaits us,
Beyond all our partings and tears!

Of Brayden

 

This is the memorial wall that is in my living room in honor of my beautiful son.

 

 

Happy 1st Birthday

Brayden

We love And Miss You

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

These are pictures of Brayden's birthday balloon release. We had a birthday party for Brayden, and all of his friends and family released balloons with personal messages written on them. I wanted to do this at dusk, so that is why the pictures are so dark. This is Mommy, Daddy, and baby sister Kayleigh releasing our balloons.

 

 

 

  

These are pictures of Brayden's grave on his first birthday. The headstone in the background is that of my Meme's. Brayden is buried directly on top of her. Meme always told me that she wanted me to have a baby before she passed away. Now she is holding my angel for eternity. RIP Meme. I love you.

I Sometimes Wonder - Some days I wake up, And wonder how your life is. I wish you were here. As the days drag on, I look up at the blue sky, And Look for heaven. I sometimes wonder, What kind of person you'd be, As countless days pass. Are you helping God? Are you playing with others? Are you happy there? I sometimes wonder, What kind of person you'd be, As countless days pass. Would you help save lives? Would you be a math teacher? What would you have been? What job would you have had? Whatever you had chosen, Mommy would be proud. I sometimes wonder, What kind of person you'd be, As countless days pass. Would you excel at Academics too? Would you have many friends? I question myself often, Because... I sometimes wonder, What kind of person you'd be, As countless days pass. I'll see you one day, But until then,for now, I can only guess. - from Cousin Sabrina

A Poem for Brayden on his B-Day - I was thinking about Brayden while I was in school and decided to write this poem for his birthday. BRAYDEN My baby cousin Brayden, is now an angel in heaven. We'll never hear him laugh or cry, or give him something new to try. We all dreamed of making memories that would last, but now, the hope itself, remains part of the past. We'll never get to help him take his first steps, this is a tragedy everyone, without a choice excepts. He was born and died on October 7, 2007, but we know he is our gaurdian angelup in heaven. - from Cousin Sabrina

I Never Met You, But I Miss You - I wrote this poem myself, a few months after Brayden passed away. I am his cousin, but I'm just a kid too. I took it really hard, but my aunt and uncle, Chris and Steve took it harder.I Love You Guys! I hope I can See You Guys Really Soon! Not too long ago,we lost you And we were in great pain. We didn't ever see you, But it hurt our hearts to know We never would. It's been hard waking up, Knowing you didn't survive. But I know God is taking care Of you up in heaven. I still can't quite wrap my Head around it, "WHY DO THE WORST THINGS HAPPEN TO THE BEST OF PEOPLE?" I guess I might never know, But I do know that you're watching over us all the time! I LOVE YOU BRAYDEN!!! YOU"LL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS!!!xoxoxoxo - from Sabrina Borelli(older cousin)

Happy Father's Day - Here I sit and stare.... out the window of our home.., On this Fathers day... Feeling so very alone. Oh, how I wish.... My child was still here.... Bringing me a Fathers day gift... Even an ugly tie would be so nice this year. But...my child has gone on to Heaven... And is playing on streets of gold... Listening to Jesus tell stories... of so many years ago. And today I find myself thinking... about the meaning of a gift.... For a gift is something given to you... that makes you smile and gives you a lift. But...many times we receive a gift.... And then lose it or misplace it some day... But we never forget the gift... For the memories remain tucked away. I think I have concluded... On this Fathers day.... That since a gift is yours once given... It can never be taken away. And the most precious gift...that I was given.... To me ...so many years ago.... Was the day my child entered this world.... And touched my life, heart, and soul. So on this Fathers day.... I thank the Lord for the most precious gift of mine.... My child in Heaven...treasured times and memories.... That will remain with me...my entire lifetime. For a Gift is a gift... And my most precious gift....remains in my heart... And just then...a rainbow appears out my window.... reminding me....that my gift and heaven are not so far. - from Laurie Kat's Mommy

Ashley's Poem - I found this poem when going through Ashley's things. She wrote it for her English class in her Junior Year of High School. Heaven I think my idea of heaven... Is calm, peaceful and serene... Somewhere inviting and where I want to be... So white and So pure... Like walking after a winter snowstorm... With the sun shining bright... No fears... No Worries... Only Peace... I often imagine what it would be like... Every vision never a dissapointment... Although I am happy hear on earth... The thought of a better place... With no worries... No disappointments... Only happiness in a place so soothing... Reuniting with loved ones missed so much... So comfortable and so safe... In that place so desired... The place we dreamt to be... When our time on earth is complete. Ashley Stuart 2006 If we only knew Just wanted to share Ash's thoughts on Heaven - from Kris Stuart
