Isis' Angelic Realm
Well, this is part of my page that you probably
didn't expect. I am dedicating this site to
the mothers and fathers who have lost one or more of
their children due to the ill effects of birth defects.
This page has been an incredible healing source for me
and I know that there are parents out there who have
lost children and struggle daily with the guilt and
grief that accompanies the loss of a loved one.
Angels Among Us
I believe that angels are amongst us everywhere.
You never know who that stranger is that's standing
beside you in the elevator or that person you bump
into in the mall. Who are they? They look familiar
but you don't know why. Perhaps they're your guardian
angel, or perhaps just someone God put in your path to
brighten you day - but either way - angels are amongst
us in all shapes and forms.
Special Dedication
This part of my web page is
to a very personal angel that came across my life.
God sent him to me in May, 1994 and then took him
away to be someone else's angel November, 1994.
Cristian Robert was a very special child who touched many lives. He carried a great responsibility for a child only a few months old. His gift was that of being a teacher and even today he continues to marvel doctors and the medical community. The term, "It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all" makes a lot of sense to me. Cristian was born with a rare birth defect
that only affects 1 in 36,000 children. He looked very normal on the outside, but his little lungs couldn't keep up with his rate of growth.
"How'd you do it?" So many people asked. Well, the only response I have for that is, "you just do what you have to do". Being Cris's mom for 8 months was what I had to. There are millions of mothers who lose children in varying ways. Do we understand? No. Will we ask why? Yes. Will we be angry? Yes. But the assurance of being surrounded by friends and family and receiving the support therefrom, makes the difference. God also undergirded me when I felt alone. It's hard giving the ultimate "God" credit for being there, especially when I'm so angry. But He's a God of mercy and grace and salvation. He's big enough to understand my little bit of hurt. God is truly awesome and continues to strengthen me as the years pass.
Cristian Robert, entered this world May 4, 1994
and departed November 23, 1994
"The Mention of His Name"
The Mention of my Child's Name
May bring tears to my eyes,
But never fails to bring
Music to my ears.
If you are really my Friend,
Let me hear the beautiful
Music of his Name.
It soothes my broken heart
And sings to my soul."

Angels are abundant in hospitals too. Nurses, doctors, surgeons, chaplins...they're all angels, but of a different realm. I have never seen people work with such diligence and love, coupled with compassion and understanding. Isn't that what God commissioned us all to do anyway? The love that these men and women showed in caring for my angel was unparalleled to any other love I've experienced in another human being. I've laughed, I've cried, I've hugged, and I've watched each and everyone of them for many months as they served Cristian so tenderly. This page I dedicate to them as well - - and they know who they are. Thank you for your gift of charity. May you too continue in caring for these special children.
I give this rose to those caretakers who so diligently serve those who need them. May God Bless all your endeavors, hugs and tears.
If you've ever lost a child or someone you love,
the pain doesn't end, but you do learn to live with
the reality. Will I ever forget? Nah.
I remember him often, but the things in my life that
I have lost have been replaced.
I still have memories, yes, but with time I have
found that the emotional pain lifts and I'm filled w
ith the good memories.
I believe there are special places for special children
You never know who that is standing beside you in the elevator
or who that person is who lends you a helping hand...better be
nice...they may be your own personal angel!
