Hello. My name is George and I'm from a small town north of Dallas, Tx. Our 10.5 month old daughter,Ezri, died 16 Nov 2005 when she fell down the staircase in her care giver's home.

You can read about Ezri here: http://ezri-galdiano.memory-of.com

I also wrote a document to help others wishing to help bereaved parents. It is available here: http://www.galdiano.net/documents/HelpingBereavedParents.pdf

God bless us all.

George

Dear George,
Like Cindy I am so sorry you have a reason to be here, but we do welcome you, your family, and your special angel with open arms. My son, Garion, at age 10 went to his forever home shortly before your darling Ezri (I love her name!) You will quickly find that we are like family in here and even though we hadn't met each others precious angels, we know them better than most who have. Please share your daughter with us as much as you can, every day. I am going to go visit her sites now. Lifting you in prayer and look forward to getting to know you and Ezri better.
Hugs,
Lynda

Dear George,
I am in the middle of reading the document you had done to help bereaved parents. I can totally relate to everything have read so far and recommend everyone in here to read this http://www.galdiano.net/documents/Helpi ... arents.pdf
I may print it out and have it by my bedside to read a little each night. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and for all of your hard work to put this together to help so many.
Hugs,
Lynda

Lynda,

I visited Garion's website. I'm so sorry for you loss. We have a 10.5 month old son named Gideon. Wish we had considered Garion, but that name never even came up when we researched baby names.

Thank you for the welcome to the forums. Sorry we are part of the same club, but glad we have each other.

God Bless You and your family....
Sending many hugs,

Tammy,

I visited Angelica's website. Oh, what a beautiful girl. A true southern belle. I know there is more to females than looks, but I just had to let you know that I thought she was beautiful too.

It's easy to tell she is deeply loved and missed. How lucky she was to have you as her mother.

I couldn't find how she died on the website. I don't know if that is something you are ready to share, but if you are, I'm listening.

Tonya,

I noticed you had what looked to be a Jean Keaton print of Jesus and children on your memorial website. I thought you might like the one I am putting a link to below.

I took a photo of Ezri, converted it to look like a drawing, then combined it with one of Keaton's prints.

I thought I'd share this photo I took on as I was burning a candle for Ezri for Pregnancy and Infant Loss day.

George,

Welcome to our "home" sorry that you have a reason to be here but we welcome you with open arms, and big hearts. Ezri is absolutely darling. Such a precious little girl.

I am here following the loss of my precious daughter, Naudya Jo, who was with us for a short 16 days. You are more than welcomed to check out her site.

Good night and god bless.

George,
Your blessed Ezri is so beautiful! I see her picture and it's so difficult to comprehend that she's an angel now. Her photo shines with life and happiness. She lights up the page with her smile. I can see how much happiness one smile, one giggle from her has brought you.

I'm so terribly sorry........ I keep repeating those simple words day after day.......not only to new parents who join us, but also to our regulars who are having a painfully sad day ........... those words cannot express the depth of our sorrow at seeing another child added to our list of angels and another grieving parent joining our group.

I visited Ezri's site and I read your poems and then your book. I've read most of it now. I can tell it was actually written by a grieve stricken parent, it deals in the reality of loss, not the clinical approach to grief. I appreciate that so very much. It actually is something we can identify with. Your poetry to your daughter is beautiful and expresses your sorrow so clearly, but in a beautiful way.

It really doesn't matter what age your child is when you lose it, each age has an entirely different set of losses, of pains and of memories that are both precious and yet unbearable.

I'm glad you found us, I'd like to think we'll be able to help you as you travel this treacherous journey of grief, we will be here for you and we appreciate what you've already contributed to us.

God Bless you, may you find comfort in knowing you will one day hold your precious baby again.

George,

That photo that you posted is absolutely precious. I can just imagine all of our Angels, no matter what age, sitting at the feet of Jesus listening intently to His stories and teachings. I picture the smaller ones crawling all over Him and just adoring Him as He plays with them.

Again, thank you.

Sending love, hugs and prayers,
~Tonya~

Dear George,
That picture of Jesus holding the baby is amazing! The smile and all looks just like your precious angel Ezri!!!!! All I can say is WOW! I know you treasure that picture with all of your heart. I went and looked at all the drawings but I didn't see one that looked just like Garion or I would have had had it in a heartbeat. Her drawings are amazing though...very beautiful!
Hugs,
Lynda
