What a beautiful little Girl / Martin Bally (Visitor)
I have a three year old daughter.  She means everything to me.  My Condolences to you and your family.  My brother just passed away 2 months ago.  I will say a prayer for her and hope that both of them will be looking down on both families.  God Bless you. Close

Can't say anything to heal your pain, yet I can talk and try to understand / Holly Garza Ortega (none)
I don't know how to begin or where to start,..... I was just crying over my own daughter, so I know nothing I say or do can begin to help. All empty words do is annoy and aggravate more.How did you get through the firsts? I have less then a month for the first b-day without her(she would have been 8) and a month for the first "anniversary". She turned 7 april 11 2004 and passed away due to a house fire 4 days later. Im angry, sad, feeling guilty and deceptioned with everything. I am mad that I couldnt save her and that I didnt get to say good bye, Im mad cuase Im alive and shes not
Im basically just mad, but most of all I hate people! I hate people telling me to be happy, or that she is in a better place, or to think of the good times, as if I wouldnt have done that on my own any way. I just feel as if some days Im going through it all over again where I litterally detest waking up. The problem is I was pregnant when I lost her. I need to be "all here" instead of "out of it". I just cant help it I have vivid nightmares of that night while Im wide awake, I dont know I guess I just need to vent with someone who can understand. Everyone seems to avoid the subject or even me. I dont know I wish someone could just say okay we made a mistake you can have her back. My baby's web site is http://ilovedestiny-perez.memory-of.com I hope you have some moments of comfort and release. Do not hesitate to contact me if you ever need to vent. Close

So Painful / George Hovey (none)
I cannot fathom the pain that losing your child must have felt. Reading the events that happened after your phone call made me recall a similar event when I got a call that my brother had died. The different thoughts that run through your mind, some unrelated and don't make sense yet you know something unbearable has happened.
Please believe that anyone who has read your story has said a prayer for Mikayla and your family.

My baby's in heaven too... / Marla Parra
I just read about your daughter, and my heart goes out to you. As I read and neared the end of her legacy I relived the last moments of my sons life, even though circumstances were a little different for us. I remember very clearly when my son passed thinking "What do I do now?" and wondering how anyone who had lost a child lived through it. When I read of other parents who have endured so much pain, it somehow makes me stronger and lets me know that people do survive it, and helps me to realize that with time the pain might lessen. As a stranger I can tell you had a lot of love for her, and I want to thank you for sharing her story. Close

So sorry to hear of your loss! / Natalie MacDonald (ANOTHER HURTING MOM)
When I stumbled upon this website I was amazed. I had never known that this existed, nor have I known any of the people whome are remebered. I was touched when I read about your Mikayla.Unlike you I never did have my son for 3 years he only lived for 2 hours. His name was Brayden MacDonald.
 
I can still feel your pain and your loss cause i'm a strong beleiver that there is no loss greater than that of a child. Least not that of your own child. Its something I hope no one has to experience in thier lifetime.

Having gone through it however I know that its possible and very trying. I rely on family and friends and people whome I know that have been through a similar situation.God Bless you and your family. Close

so sorry... / Ali (another mama walking the path of loss by Mikayla's mama)
How sorry I am for your loss of such a beautiful little girl.
Your love for her shines thru your words and pictures.
I, too, lost my only child Travis when he was 10.  I understand.  I wish I didnt, but I do...
warm wishes to you. Close

REST IN PEACE Mikayla Michelle Cain!!!!!!!!!! / Jackie Cable
Hi i ve just see your webpage dedicated to your lovely daughter. As soon as i saw it i immediately cried and still am after reading what had happend. I don't know how you feel as i haven't lost a child but i just feel for you and your family. She was soooo young i am a emotional person i have NEVER cried so much. I know that i don't know you but if you ever need someone to chat to i am always here. I can't believe that a blind cord can actually strangle a child i have 2 little girls myself and now i know not to buy blinds. I think they should stop making them as they cause so many people like yourself so much grief. I hope that you like what i said as i mean it from the bottom of my heart. I love the grave it's so beautiful. Everytime i see a star on a clear night i will always you and your family and always think of Mikayla Michelle Cain REST IN PEACE!!!!!

AND GOD SAID"

I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, "I know."

I said, "God, I cry a lot."
And God said,
"That is why I gave you tears."

I said, "God, I am so depressed."

And God said,
"That is why I gave you Sunshine."

I said, "God, life is so hard."
And God said,
"That is why I gave you loved ones."

I said, "God, my loved one died." And God said " so did mine "


I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said,
"I saw mine nailed to a cross."

I said, "God, but your loved one lives."
And God said,
" So does yours."

I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said,
"Mine is on My right and yours is in the Light."

I said, "God, it hurts."
And God said,
"I know." Close

Please read..... Special Poem (Do you want to hold her)  / Brandy (Mommy)


Do You Want To Hold Her???
~ Mikayla ~
 "Do you want to hold her?"
Keeps ringing in my ear...
"Do you want to hold her?"
Are words I thought I'd never fear...
 "Do you want to hold her?"
Are the first word's I heard them say...
"Of course I want to hold her,
I brought her in the world today"
 Happily I smiled
and held her close to me...
Proudly I kissed her head and whispered
"With me, you will always be."
 "Do you want to hold her?"
They asked again today...
"Do you want to hold her,
even though she passed away..."
 But there I stood in the door,
not sure of what to say...
There I stood in the door,
watching her as she lay...
 Of course I want to hold her,
she's my little girl.
I'm the one that brought her,
into this little world.
 But my body wouldn't move,
I just stood there in the door.
Watching her little body,
as my tears continued to pour.
 Slowly I walked closer,
and sat right by her side...
"Yes I want to hold her."
I mumbled as I cried.
 Gently they placed her in my arms,
as I covered her in kisses...
Whispering very quietly,
all my prayers and wishes...
 What only seemed like a minute,
was actually 4 or 5...
There I sat holding her,
wishing she were alive...
 Finally they took her,
with sadness in their eyes...
Ignoring all my helpless
pleas and my cries...
 Now the words have new meaning,
they will never be the same...
Now I cannot hold her,
and there is no one really to blame...
 If only I knew then,
what I know today...
I would have held her closely
all through the night and day...

 NOW...

"Do you want to hold her?"

No one, will ever say...

I'm so sorry / Mylette Slaney (none)
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost both of my daughters on November 29th. My oldest was 17 and my youngest 9. Until you lose your child, you can never fully understand the pain. I'll keep you in my prayers. God will give you the strength to make it through every minute of every day, if you just ask Him. Close

She's never really far away / Shanna Jones

I know you think you've lost your child

But only her body went away

You'll see her disguised as morning dew

or in you breath on a chilly day.

She's in the waves upon the ocean

In the wind as it whirls around

high above the tree tops

The leaves crackling on the ground.

You will feel her arms around you

When your missing her and sad

it will help you go on living

to remember the good times you had.

So remember even though it hurts

No matter how long you are apart

She's never really far away

As long as she's in your heart 

: Written by Shanna Jones


I have small children at home, I do not even want to imagine what you have gone through, I am so sorry for your loss.
