I find it strange (in almost a sickening way), that I have literally BEGGED you, (on here and via email), to visit Baby Mariah's site; and to leave some encouraging words for her and her family...
...And that ONLY a mere handful of you have had a moment, a kindness, or a thought to spare...
*Thank You Thers, for your almost daily vigilance...
*Thank You Beth, and Wyck, for your wonderful comments.
*Thank you Casey for the insights too rare from such a young lady.
*Thank You StangerDaze for offering your kindness and your compassion too.
*Thank you, Little Lisa, for giving them all your thoughts and love.
*And yes, I have probably missed a few of you- For that I do sincerely apologize...
Even now, they must watch their baby weaken and die.
PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO VISIT AND TO COMMENT.
It costs nothing but time...
...and in the end, what reason do you honestly have for not writing?
Please let me know what that reason might be.
............... What if Mariah was your own child?
?
Couldn't have said it better myself!
ReplyDeleteI was just there and I can't seem to get in to leave a message. Am I doing something wrong?
ReplyDeleteSweet Thers,
ReplyDeleteI only wish I didn't feel the need to say it in the first place.
I thank you again...
"Whatsoever you do, to the least of My brothers, that you do unto Me"...
Not even sure where I know that from anymore, but I do believe it is sadly appropriate now.
Love to you
XOXO
Anne
Not sure.
ReplyDeleteYou have to hit 'sign guestbook' and fill in your info when asked for it...
Then to leave a comment.
And yes, it will ask for your name and email. You can choose to NOT have your email published with each comment.
Oh I hope you can figure it out...
Thank you Sweetie.
XOXO
Anne
ReplyDeleteThey do this to protect the girl AND her family...
Ok, I'll try it again. Will let ya know if I'm able to..thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help. I was able to post a message this time.
ReplyDeleteThank YOU Sweet Pam!
ReplyDeleteXOXO

Baby Mariah's illness hits so close to home Anne..We've lost 3 children from our family, one of them being mine.
ReplyDeleteI've learned through all these years that no matter how hard it is to deal with the loss of a child..there are MUCH worse things in life than death..having to deal with your child being sick and maybe seeing no end to the means is a good example.
Our church has baby Mariah in their prayers constantly and I do thank all those that have taken the time to stop by and say a lil hello and let Mariah's family know that we're all here in someway..I do, however, feel very disappointed, as you, that more people didn't just take one "effin" minute out of their daily lives to stop by her page..this could happen to anyone..a lil compassion and respect goes a long way and God forbid if it happens to someone else.
Gosh I need therapy for ranting lol Have a great day my friend xoxo
i admit I have avoided this Anne and I feel bad about that...will visit.....itd just hard...Hopes you can forgive me... love you
ReplyDeletePrayers for baby Mariah are being said at this moment. She is such a sweet and pure little soul.
ReplyDeleteI tried that link and my computer kept saying "timed out." Finally got to the page but it would not let me leave a comment. It kept saying my email address was invalid! Oh well. But I have visited another page at some time or another that was different for the same little girl.
Many people are praying for this sweet angel. She was a pure soul when she came here to this world and will be a pure soul when she returns. She is serving her purpose here, if only to bring awareness to others.
This, from my 360 mailbox...

I just sent out a mass message to all my contacts to get their arses to baby Mariah s page and leave a comment..
I read your entry on death and it pissed me off knowing that all these friends I have never took one minute to stop by that page (excluding a couple) and I did thank them.
I reminded them that I ve had Mariah s link in my blast on and off for a year and I think I ve only seen 2 people from my list..how sad is that???.
I feel so terrible for Mariah s family Anne..that pain and heartache one feels at times like these are unbearable and you actually think you ll die..I, nor anyone else understands what God has planned for us, but I will always believe that He does know best and I ve put my trust in Him and what He does..I don t think He ll prove me wrong:)
Hugsssss my lovely friend...

Dear Sweet Wyck;
ReplyDeleteI have friends on here that know your own loss- And the moments we have all savored with our own babies/children...
And I know too, (even with Casey being sick, and knowing as Mayo said that her turn could be next), I have not lost as you have.
...Or as Mike and Micki are surely going to.
My sympathy always.
Like you, the seemingly brusque and flippant attitude of having no compassion, time (or whatever), strikes me as more than disappointment somehow...
The "walk a mile" in someone elses shoes comes to mind...
Love to you
XOXO
Me
PS
When you make that appointment with the therapist, kindly save a spot for me too.
(Do they give volume discounts)???
Sweet Becca;
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing to forgive.
Your honesty has always touched a place in my own soul...
And yes, it is DAMN HARD, isn't it to read Micki's chronicle of her own dying child... Harder sometimes to find the words to write and to offer.
Just that, at times like these, if we don't offer our own, what will happen when we face the same thing.
And truthfully, sooner or later, we all will.
Thank you so very much for writing to Mariah and her family.
Love to you
XOXO
Anne
Sweet PeachieBaby;
ReplyDeleteI get that 'timed out' thing too. Usually it is when I have opened her page and not waited for it to load; gone back to another page elsewhere.
Try it again- If it's left open for any amount of time it WILL time out. Just another of the safeguards that CaringBridge has built in to protect the baby and her family.
I thank you always for your prayers. And hope you can try again.
XOXO

ReplyDeleteKeep the comments coming!
Just click the above link...
OMG!
ReplyDeleteYour love and support and prayers mean so very much to everyone.
The outpouring SO MANY of you have shown now has restored much of my Faith in you all.
I am still so angry- Mostly because I cannot find a way, myself, to express how I even feel...
I read your comments on her page, and they bring tears to my eyes.
Pray that no one ever has to go through such a thing.
Pray that Mariah knows how very much she is loved.
Pray for Mike. Micki. And Morgan too. That THEY know how much they are loved as well.
I thank you again... Please keep going back when you can...
I cannot imagine a worse pain.
Love to all
XOXO
Anne
Hi. I'm sorry I wasn't aware of this until now. I haven't seen your blog for a long time. (Was it previously at Yahoo 360?)
ReplyDeleteSweet Lois!
ReplyDeleteYes, I was (and still am) at 360- Am SO curious as to what they will finally DO for us all)...

As far as leaving a comment for baby Mariah and her family, you will never be too late.
We wait and pray for any news that will send a moments comfort to this wonderful family.
XOXO
Anne
So Sad Annie to lose such a young one :=(
