"A Touched Soul"
"I am doing a research paper about Kaitlyn's Law and the information I have uncovered including your quilting website has reached into and touched my soul. I was especially moved by your graphic and telling map of lost little ones. To put a name and age in place of a number makes the reality all too clear. I have been one of those mothers who never really considered the consequences of my actions, leaving my 3 year old and 9 month old in the car for only moments while I ran back into the house for some forgotten item. I'd like you to know that I feel blessed that my children were not fatalities to be added to your list. Thanks to your provided information along with 4rkidssake.org, they never will be."

"Cherish Children"
It is for me once more that time of year,
when my paternal emotions soar,
as the festive season draws near.
Doll houses I crafted with care,
every year a different style,
with a desire to be there,
to watch you play with them for a while.
Sometimes what I miss most,
is that I never got to know you,
or the moments to hold you close,
and share the wonder of you.
Had I but a moment to tell the world,
of their greatest treasure;
in that moment all truth unfurled,
angelic reposes constant pleasure,
locks of hair tangled in sleep,
Let nothing steal your attention.
In guarding their safekeep,
or abuse their unconditional affection.
In running here and there,
let not thoughtless neglect,
make you forget they are there;
In that moment I ask this in humble respect."

DON'T DO IT"
"I read about this every year, and it kills me every time I do. I wouldn't generally write about this, but it may make a difference. Parent's lives get so hectic, I know, but when it comes to this, I want you to remember a few things. I'll tell you what most don't. When your baby dies, the funeral is horrible. The families pain is for you, the baby and their own grief. As long as you live you will wonder the smallest things that people never normally think about. What color would his (or her) hair be now? Their eyes? What their voice would have sounded like, their laugh?
Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, the pain will never end. A parent's love is forever, and grief is too. Mother's Day and Father's Day is bitter sweet, even when you have other children. My baby boy died from a heart defect, and like a lot of mom's like me, I even have guilt wondering if I breathed the wrong chemical during pregnanacy, what I could have done?
These babies are healthy and have a chance at life. Please DON'T DO IT! It's just a moment in time, deal with it. Take that precious child in the store with you and be thankful that you have them. When they get older you will know what color their hair is, their eyes, and what their laugh sounds like. When you are tempted, remember me, please. I am Joshua's mother. He was 12 days old when I walked away from the grave feeling guilty for leaving him all alone. That was 11 years ago.
Just don't. Please
You will never regret not leaving them alone.

A friend of mine emailed the following remarks to me. I don't know who wrote it, and I hope they have no objection to seeing it here. It is so moving and heartfelt I know it will help us all.
