The author's words are beautiful, heartfelt, descriptive and creative. These
words brought me to tears. Thank you for the author's notes. I pondered on the poem and how letting go is just so difficult. This poem was gracefully written as I felt God was present at this difficult time.
With Sincere condolences and prayers....Maria

I cannot tell you the depth of my feelings for you, and your beloved daughter that you lost.
It was a real privilege for you to be with her in her last moments here on earth, and I share your belief that she is in a better place, free from pain and suffering.
I firmly believe that our loved ones watch over us from their place.
The little fog you saw when your daughter left you was the spirit of a loved one who had passed on before, come back to help your daughter cross over.
Someone will be there for you
Blessings, irish

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
This story always tugs at my heart, Barbara. To imagine climbing in bed with my son and holding him and singing to him until he passed absolutely wrenches my heart from my chest.
Should use a different text - background color combination. This one is very difficult to see.
P1, s4: (challenge) should be (challenging)
P2, s2: (grand children) should be (grandchildren) one word
P2, s2: Remove one period after (children) There are currently two
P2, s3: (great~granddaughter) should be (great-granddaughter) Hyphen versus a tilde. Tilde (~) is a keyboard symbol meaning about or approximately
P6, s2: Add a comma after (In fact)
The strength you had to muster to accomplish that impossible feat is unfathomable. Wonderful, heart wringing revelation.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Barbara, you have suffered an horrific loss that No mother should ever know or feel. Your poem reads and flows well, and the love that you had/have for your daughter shines bright from the depth of your heart.
Of special note:
I kept telling her, "Jesus is coming to take your hand
and walk with you on the beach."
(Barb, I'm sure Jesus took her hand, and today, your daughter has taken your hand as you begin anew.)
I see this poem was a contest winner, and it's easy to see why.
I leave my tear on this page. I hope that everything went well today.

Thank you for sharing that precious moment. Even though parents never want to say goodbye to children who precede them to Heaven, but that you were there and held her is such a beautiful thing. You were there to reassure her that Jesus will guide her Home.

Your poem was well-written, Barbara, though heart-wrenching.
Your words were straight from your heart to hers. I could feel
your sadness and at the same time your happiness knowing Jesus
was there for her then and for always. This was a great tribute
to her, the family, and their faith, too.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Very powerful and moving. On the brighter side of life, you wrote a poem that won a contest, became Reconized, and an All Time Best. Hopefully all of that made her passing way easier.
I see no problems in this poem and hope your baby is in her happy place. Bye!

I'm so sorry to read about your daughters passing. This is a very touching poem. The love simply oozes from every word. A parents worst nightmare to out live a child. Thank you for sharing your love and your grief with us all here on FS. I hope you don't mind if I become a fan. I really want to read more of your work.
