there are no words of consolation. you can prepare yourself for this or any of God's actions. but He is on the throne and "His ways are past finding out."that is our only support in a time like this. be strong in the Lord. when we are in the valley of despair, He is there to hold us in His arms. how reassuring to know that someday you will see darcy ann in heaven and perhaps God in His grace and mercy will let you know why He took her. take care and remember He rules and reigns. "all things work together for good for those that love the Lord and called according to His purpose. daddy

Hey Darcy,

I just want you to know that your big sister loves you very much! You are a very special girl, and I am going to spoil you so much when you get here! I love you.

 

Mommy

Dear Darcy, I think about you all of the day. I just want you to know that you are loved by so many already. You are especially loved by Jesus. You wont have to suffer through many of the tragedies in this sinful world for that I am glad. I love you, my dear sweet Darcy Anne.

Dear Darcy, It is so painful to outlive a grandchild. I wish and pray that God would allow me to switch place with you. But I guess He needs another beautiful angel in heaven. Please be the first to welcome me when I'm called. I can't wait to see you. I love you and miss you so much.

Greeting to the Ramos Family!
I have you all in my heart and prayers and cannot wait until we all welcome baby Darcy home! Your Daddy has been a great inspiration to us at our Bible study class and we are here to return it seven fold. Feel free to contact me at any time to talk or if you justt need someone to listen.

Your Sister in CHRIST,

Dear Baby Darcy - Your dad pointed me to this website as I was at my desk, reading, studying and thinking about the resurrection of the body in preparation for a sermon on Sunday. How providential.

Your life is the best example that I or anyone could ever come up with to explain this doctrine, the very heart of our faith.

Much of this wonderful and mysterious doctrine is a mystery. But we know this for sure: with the resurrection of the body, our corruptible and imperfect bodies will be made whole. On that day, the weak and perishable body that you have now will be just a memory.

There is a link between the resurrection of Christ and that of all his people. Paul says, "If the dead do not rise, then Christ did not rise; and if Christ did rise, then all the dead will rise."

Do you see how that works? Because of what Christ has done for us, He and us are so closely linked, that what was accomplished in His resurrection, was accomplished as a representative of all his people. Just as when Adam sinned, the world sinned, and the world died, just so when Christ conquered death, He conquered death for us, also.

"As in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive." Christ could not rise except as the representative of his people; and "if Christ rose," says Paul, "then his people will rise; and if he did not rise then we shall not rise, because we are one with him; and if we do not rise Christ did not rise, because we are one with him."

There is a connection between Christ and His people which cannot be broken,—that if Christ rose, then must His people who are dead shall rise also, to spend eternity with Him, and with each other.

When that happens, we will recognize each other, all of God’s people of every age, including you.

We will celebrate together, you, your earthly family, and the rest of us.

In the short term, we will miss you dearly. We are grateful for the time that you are here with us. Soon enough, we will see you in the fullness of your personality, intellect and spirit.

"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

"The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

"But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Bless you dear baby Darcy, and your family.

Jason & Tracy-

We will be praying for you. We are so glad to have met you when we did. Ironically...it was perfect timing. Look forward to hearing about all that God does in your family from here on out.

Dear Darcy,

Our family has been praying for you and your family since the day we heard you were coming. I must admit that I cried when I found out I would not be getting to see that famous Ramos smile for years to come. But as I place my own children in God's hands, I can do the same with you, for you will be cared for much better than by any of us, and even your mom and dad. You have already brought great joy to many, just riding around with mom as your taxi, and that is the memory our family will have of you...real joy that comes from placing our lives, long or short, in the Creator hands. You are loved by God and all of us in your church family.

Pastor Ted

Dear Tracy, Jason & your beautiful family,

I was out front the other day and little Mallorie was playing out front. She always seems happy & is always friendly. She asked if we were going to the park to play & if so could she come. I explained we weren't going to the park, but if we did we would come and get her.

I asked her how was Mommy & baby doing? She told me that you were sad and that the baby was sick & going to be with God in Heaven. I asked her what she meant & she told me that God was taking her back to take care of her.

We talked for a little while about how wonderful God is. She seemed completely assured that He was there for both Mommy & her unborn baby sister - And that He was there for her too. He is always watching over us & He is always with us, no matter how alone we might feel.

Please, if there is anything that Chad & I or any of your neighborhood family can do for you - anything - just shout out.

We will keep you & your family in our prayers.

For baby Darcy:
"You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever" Psalm 16:11

With Love, Chad & Angela Peterson

Greetings to the Ramos family from Dubai,

A big tight hug from the sands of Dubai to the beautiful Ramos family. We just saw the pictures of the kids and we were shocked to see them so big - they are beautiful! We just want you to know that our prayers and thoughts are with you and Darcy during this journey. I can't think of having a better dad or mom than Jason and Tracy, I know that you will be loved and cherished little one.

Anthony, Catalina, Sarah, and Julien

Dear Jason, Tracy and family,

I pray that you and your family will take comfort in knowing that you are the special family God has chosen to love and care for little Darcy as she passes through this home for a time, and then on to the one we all cherish and long to see some day.

Thank God you know that God knows just exactly what He is doing, and the reasons, and He does indeed work all things together for good. Those things might sound cliché to some, but as you know as a Christian, they are the foundation of our peace.

You were so kind and thoughtful before during Cricket's birth and her several surgeries, and I cannot tell you how much that means to us as Cricket's family. God truly does hear all of the faithful prayers of His children. Please know that you are in my prayers, and also will be in Cricket's prayers.

One of many things I learned with Cricket is to not assume we know for sure what will happen once our little ones are born. It is frightening to hold on to hope in case we are let down, and it is heartbreaking NOT to hope. As much as possible, I pray that you will have true peace in just knowing that God is in control.

With your permission I would like to forward your e-mail to friends and family members for prayer. You just never know what God has planned, but you DO know that He can do anything!

God bless you.

Ginger

Whew! I never would have known how much was happening. Jason keeps smiling and keeps a positive attitude here at the office. This memory board is a true testament of your faith, your love and your trust in God. My heart aches for your pain but joins with you in knowing that Darcy will be in a safe place when she leaves all that love her here.

God is strength, power and love...,

This is surprising and saddening news. Having seen or spoken to various members of your family almost on a daily basis, I would have expected to see some hint of the sadness behing your smiles. God is trully carrying you forward in this difficult time and we pray that you will feel his strength, comfort and love in the days to come.

God's blessing be with you all, especially with little Darcy Anne.

Hi Darcy Anne:

How precious you are! So many praying and loving you already. Already we can picture in our minds a time when we all will be with Jesus - worshipping, singing, and playing in the streets.

God has a wonderful plan for you... we will pray daily for your time here - we have known the miracles that Jesus has done medically for our family and we pray for your life here on earth.

How strong your father and mother are! What a testimony they are to the brethren here! What encouragement they give us all in daily life...

How beautiful to see your mother in church - singing to Jesus with all her heart - praising and glorifying the King - we know you can hear her from the womb - and in your spirit.

We will all cuddle and pray and take care of your father and mother and family in these coming months.

We look forward to meeting you...

Sweet Darcy Anne,

We are so glad that God put you in such a loving family; a family that values and honors life because it is special and comes from God. We know that God knit you together in your Mommy's womb and that every day you will have is already recorded by God.

We are used to countng these days starting with the birthdate, but now we see how silly that is since life begins at conception, and we should celebrate every day of life. I learned this when I was carrying a very sick baby in my womb. Matter of fact, the doctors thought at first that he had the same challenges you do. Knowing my baby migh not live long, or at all, on earth made me very mindful of every minute he was alive in my womb - and VERY thankful. Somehow, God took me from feeling sorry for myself, to being so grateful for the honor of carrying my son in the womb.

Even when he was born, I thought he would leave soon to be with Jesus, so everyday I saw his heart beating, I was so thankful. I'm so thankful that your Mom and Dad know Jesus. He is so loving and kind. He always does what is best and never makes a mistake. We are all surprised at knowing ahead that your days on earth will be shorter than most, but we are so thankful that you will be in capable hands.

I know your Mommy, Daddy, and siblings will find all kinds of nice things to do for you while you grow in the womb. Some of our favorite things we did for our little son were : talking him swimming, listening to pretty music, singing to him, patting him through Mommy's tummy, taking a nap with him, praying for him, and talking alot to him.

We love you very much Darcy Anne. God is already using you and will continue to long after your birthday. Rest in God's love and the rich love of your amazing family. We can't wait to see you!

What a pleasure it is to meet fellow Christians so strong in their faith.

Darcy - sweet baby girl. You are touching more people than you could ever imagine. You've opened so many eyes to what kind of love God gives his children through your loving parents. Your mama is amazing... and I know that she loves you tremendously.

God has a plan for you sweet baby. You weren't placed in your mama's womb by accident. God knew she was a mighty woman of God!!

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. God bless and keep you!

In Him,
Shan

Hello, Darcy.

Mom and Brittany have been buying you a lot of nice clothes and trinkets. I've never seen so much pink in my life :) They're pretty. But you will make them even prettier.

This afternoon, I heard Steven Curtis Chapman's "I Will Be Here." It moved me so much that I had to make it the background music of your Mom's Dear Diary page. So, when you hear it from your little cocoon, be looking forward to coming out. Because I will be here waiting with open arms.

I can't wait to hold you.

Love you so much. See you soon.

Daddy

I wanted to say something else - Darcy Anne:

hope it's o.k.


Your mother and father loving you this way is a great example...

An example to all the little girls, big girls, youth girls and women...

An example to all the little boys, big boys, youth boys and men...

Your parents have been open and transparent to what God has called them to do...

... and so many eyes are watching...

Many eyes are watching strength , grace, courage and love in action...

Who knows how many of these "eyes" will be called to something similar??

Perhaps God will use your mother and father's Godly example to encourage so many others in the future...

"Strength and honor are her clothing and she shall rejoice in time to come"
Prov. 32:25

Thank Jesus for this strength

Darcy Anne,

I love you and appreciate every day that I have an opportunity just to think of you and thank God in prayer for you.

While I was pregnant with my own son, I became afraid I would lose him. I, too, learned to cherish every moment, every movement, every minute of lost sleep as a blessing that God had given me. I tried hard not to ever complain, although I know that I failed.

Your family, though, is incredible. As tempting as it can be to complain when things don't go our way, they don't!!! They trust God with your life so much that they are able to lay their will aside for the perfect, difficult will of our Heavenly Father. Your family is teaching me how beautiful God's peace is when you choose to allow him to be your comforter.

Thank you, God, for giving Darcy Anne to the Ramos family. You picked out the perfect parents to love her.

Love,
Janis

Hello Tracy,

Yesterday was Mother's Day. And although I know how hard it must have been for you, I wanted to make sure I greeted you on your day.

What you are doing demonstrates the courage and love only a mother of God can show.

Darcy will be missed. And while she will not be able to experience having you as a mother here on Earth, she will always love you for what you are doing and wait to be with you in Heaven.

Happy Mother's Day!

Love,
Jet

Hi Tracy and Family,

Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God. Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel. Phil. 4:6-7

God will bless you if you don't give up when your faith is being tested. He will reward you with a glorious life, just as He rewards everyone who loves Him. James 1:12

Hugs and Kisses to you Darcy. Your Mom's friends at CS are all praying for you and your family. May you enjoy a peaceful and loving stay here on Earth before you return to Christ Jesus' loving arms.

Sandie

Love

We love you so much and wish there was more we could do.

Dear Darcy Ann,

Today, I reconnected with your Dad, Jason and heard his voice again, more than 20 years removed. He sounds the same, and from pictures of him with your beautiful family; he looks the same.

Everyone looks forward to your arrival. Your family has such great strength and faith that, in the inevitable time when GOD takes you to be with him and you are temporarily away from them, from all your family and all of those who love you, it will be one solemn moment until we are all reunited, as one family before GOD.

Your dad was one of my very first friends in life; I considered him to be a very good friend and have always quietly said: "Until we meet again my friend." I will look forward to the opportunity to meet you in the afterlife

GOD bless child.
GOD bless you, Darcy Ann!

 

Fri, 16 May 2008 12:27:26

Hello, Darcy.

I'm finally back in the office after spending almost a week at the Training Center. I returned to find a card on my desk. It was signed by so many friends and co-workers from a team I used to work with under Joe. You should see it. It has the word "Peace" on the cover. Open it and you'll see over 20 love notes by people you don't even know!

So many people are praying and thinking about you. I've never seen anything like it. I can't help but wonder if God is building an audience to show us something spectacular. Who knows right now, but Him? But I think it's already happened, Darcy. You're his gift who is already making an impact while still wrapped up inside your mommy's womb. Still. I feel the excitement, don't you? I can't wait to unwrap you!

Well, it's good to talk with you, Darcy. I wanted to visit and say hi to my darling baby girl. Sleep tight and see you soon.

I love you.

Daddy

Dear Darcy Anne,
We are friends of your mom & dad's from several years ago. We ran into them tonight at a Greek restaurant in The Woodlands, and we were so blessed by our visit with them. We are members of Crossroads Baptist Church, where we first met your mommy & daddy. They are truly special Christians, and I know God is using them for such a wonderful testimony, and God is using you, Darcy Anne, right now! How GREAT is OUR GOD! We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers, and we know that God has a perfect plan for you. and for your family. We pray for your mommy and daddy to be strong, and that God will pour out His blessings upon them and give them eternal peace that only can come from our Father in Heaven. We love you, Darcy Anne, our sweet young sister in Christ.

 

Mon, 19 May 2008 22:42:36

Hi, Darcy.

Do you know how many people God is touching through you? You are my little evangelist!

"The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them." Isaiah 11:6

When people come to your website, all their cares disappear for a moment while you point them to their Creator. You go, Darcy!

Going to bed now. I love you, my little miracle!

Daddy

 

Mon, 19 May 2008 23:54:56

Tracy-

I just read your latest two journal entries.

How wonderful that God has "connected" you with people - via the internet - that have ministered to you!

I'm glad that you are being lifted up in this manner. :-)

Darcy's dress is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! What a gift!

 

Shan (aka feistymama)

Wed, 21 May 2008 12:42:21

Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you today and as always you are in my thoughts and prayers!

The little dress and bonnet are beautiful. How touching. There truly are some wonderful people in this world, though the news would have us think otherwise sometimes.

Blessings to you and yours!

Your sister in Christ,
Shan

Hi, Darcy.


I'm glad the doctor's visit went well today. By all indications, you are snug as a bug inside your little cocoon. :)

I spoke to a friend yesterday. She visits your website often and told me how you changed the way she looks at life.

That's just one example of how your are making a difference in many people's lives. I know you changed mine. You are a gift, my little one.

Sleep tight.

I love you.

I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and your precious baby girl. She is loved by so many people already, and is leaving her footprints on Earth before even being born.

Take comfort in knowing that she has made and continues to make a huge impact on many people's lives.

Love,

Hello, Darcy.

A friend asked if I was familiar with Psalm 139. I told her that I was. But even though I've read it several times over, it has never meant so much now that I know you. I want to share it with you here.

139:1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me!

2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.

3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.

4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.

5 You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.

7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?

8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!

9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,”

12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.

13 For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.

19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me!

20 They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain!

21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?

22 I hate them with complete hatred;
I count them my enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!

24 And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!

God does not make mistakes. You are a perfect creation, dear Darcy. Your chromosome abnormality has a purpose far beyond what our measly minds can fathom. I can't wait to hold you.

Love you,

Daddy

Hey Tracy-

It's so great to hear how God is bringing people into your path/alongside you to minister to you and bless you. He's so good like that. Gotta love the body of Christ.

What a friend you have in Mary Cate. :-)

We just arrived back in the PH last night. So, we're now following your journey from the other side of the world...but are privileged and honored to do so.

 

Mary Cate

Mon, 26 May 2008 04:45:22

Hi Sweet Darcy Anne -

It's me Mary Cate, your adopted aunt who loves you very much. We have a lot in common. When I was in my Mom's tummy, I almost went to heaven with Jesus. The doctor had to give my Mommy special medicine to save my life.

I was born 11 weeks early and had medical problems. My life was not easy as a little girl but I had the biggest smile like I know you do. My body was weak but I had a strong spirit like you.
God gave me a special assisgnment to show others that every life is precious no matter what the body looks like.

I remember accepting my Jesus at age 2. I was drawn to Jesus like other kids were drawn to ice cream.

So how are you our little missionary this morning? Darcy, our world is so sad but you make it beautiful. You show others the Gospel of Life without even leaving the comfort of your sweet Mommy's tummy.

Our world seems to think that children are a nuisance or diposable. This makes Jesus cry teardrops that fall like rain.

You show the world that all children are beautiful and wanted. Your precious life speaks volumes and you are helping others come to Christ with the help of your Mommy and Daddy.

I have looked for answers for twelve years for things that have happened to me. Since learning about your precious life and becoming friends with your Mom I understand that my tears have not been in vain. All my pain has meaning because of you and your Mom. I thank God for the precious gifts you are to me.

It just goes to show we may not understand God's ways but when He chooses to show us the big picture it is more beautiful than anything you could ever imagine.

You, Darcy Anne, are more beautiful than we could ever imagine. Keep growing beautiful. We are all praying for you, your Mommy and Daddy and precious brothers and sisters.

I'm so sorry you all are having to deal with this... I don't understand why it happens to some and not others...
I pray that you will get to spend lots of time with your little darling Darcy.

Hi Sweet Darcy Anne -

Every time I talk to my Mom she asks about you, your Mommy, Daddy and your siblings.

My Mom told me that the best sermons in the world are lived and NOT preached. How cool!

Darcy, this means that you, Mommy and Daddy are the best missionaries in this world.

Mommy and Daddy look at what doctors call facts and they raise their hearts, minds and souls to heaven and look to God their Heavenly Father with great trust, love, faith, hope and humble obedience and gratitude for your precious life.

Darcy, you are creating quite a stir from within your mother's womb. You're wonderfully made by God and even people I consider to be self-centered and grumpy are humbled by your presence on this earth and we on your side praying for a miracle.

Those in this world who have lost hope look at your Mommy and Daddy's courage and start to have faith in God too.

You are helping to transform the world one soul at a time. You have left your footprints on this earth without even taking a step.

Thank you for leaving your precious footprints on my heart. Since I have been praying for you and your parents, I am a better Christian and have found more peace than I have ever known.

I love you. You rest sweetheart, dream sweet dreams and keep growing beautiful.

I think you have a bigger fan club than Elvis did!

I do love you with all my heart!

Love, Hugs and Prayers Beautiful-
"Ant" Mary Cate

Hi Darcy and Mom and Dad,

I am just checking on you guys today.

Darcy - you are such a blessing on this Earth. I thank God for the opportunity to know your Mom and follow your story as it is one that encourages and inspires us all to have faith.

Mom and Dad - you have on the FULL armor of God and for that I applaud you.

You have not given up while your faith is being tested and God will reward you.

Hi Darcy Anne:

I was reading the Bible and praying for you.

This Bible passage came to mind...

Psalm 34

I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise will be ever in my mouth.
Let my soul glory in the Lord;
the lowly will hear me and be glad.
Glorify the Lord with me,
let us together extol His name.

------------------------------------------------
Darcy, when people hear your story, they want answers. People want to know why God allowed you to have an extra 18th Chromosone.

There is only one place in the this world to get real answers, it is in God's Word, Sacred Scripture.

Darcy, your precious life gives glory to God and you are a miracle. People who haven't talked to God in a long time or may never before are asking God to make you well, to give you a miracle.

Darcy, I praise God for you throughout my day and ask Him for a miracle for you. I ask God to give Mommy, Daddy and your siblings a love of grace and peace.

I ask for you and Mommy to rest well sleeping under the shadow of God's Wings. I ask for God and His Holy Angels to minister to all your needs sweetheart and the needs of all your family.

I ask for special strength for your Daddy, you are his little princess and he has to be so strong, go to work and try to answer people's questions. I know it is hard for him.

It was a blessing for your neighbor to cut the grass. See Darcy, you teach us all to be kind like Jesus.

God made you so beautiful sweetie. Keep growing, you are precious and adorable.

You do make the body of Christ come together. You bring out the best in all of us. Thank you, Darcy, for teaching me to be a better Christian.

I love you, Darcy Anne! That is the coolest name.
Love, Hugs and Prayers-

Hi, Darcy.

We had a great time at the park yesterday. We played volleyball, tetherball, obstacle course, and even took turns riding the dirtbike.

We also found out that your big brother, Bryson, likes the taste of sand. Yuch! I've picured you playing on the sand with him and having a grand 'ol time.

You have a great family, Darcy. We can't wait to see you.

I love you. See you soon.

Daddy.

Hi Sweet Darcy Anne:

I have been praying for you today sweetheart as I was waiting at the doctor's office. "Ant" Mary has been having some problems with her chromosone #14.

The doctor gave me some new medicine and your precious Mommy has been praying for me.

We have a lot in common Darcy, I am the seventh child too. The seventh child in the family is always the cutest. My sister used to write on the back of her girls baby pictures, "Ant Mary, Am I Cute or What?" Yes, Darcy they were cute and adorable, just like you are sweetheart. You are more beautiful and adorable than anyone of us can imagine.

Stay safe sweetie inside your precious Mommy and keep on growing and getting stronger.

You are already a miracle. Now we are praying for God to grant you a miracle.

I love your name, it is so cool! You are surrounded with love precious and many prayers. You have a guardian angel all your own, Darcy Anne.

I love you always--
Love, Hugs and Prayers-

Hi Darcy,
I know you don't know me and I've never met your mommy and daddy; but I just chatted with your mommy a little bit over the e-mail. I want to say to you; that you are so blessed to have your mommy and daddy. They love you so much. God really loves you and He has already blessed you with a loving mother. Your really lighting up the lives of so many already; because of you many friends are coming into your mommy and daddy's life. And many prayers are being said... and oh, how our heavenly Father loves to hear our prayers... they are in honor of you, little sweetie. You are bringing out the beauty in all of us. What a gift you are too so many!!! Just hearing your name melts my heart.
My love to you and your mommy and daddy and your sisters and brothers too. God is truly blessing you all!

It's amazing how bad things can get in our homes when we are under stress and in the midst of grief.

Thanks for being real in your sharing.

I'm thrilled that God is using the prayers of His children to pull your family together...when Satan is doing his best to pull you apart.

Dear Little Darling Darcy:

I just got back from Mass at the Catholic Church in a town called Anderson. I used to do volunteer work there before the church was accessible to wheelchairs.

I have only been to church there twice now and don't really know many people there but I asked them to pray for my niece, precious little Darcy Anne.

It is 97 degrees outside today and I was bringing one of the dogs, Sammi, in the house because it was too hot for her. My neighbor who lives a couple of miles from here and pulled in the yard when she saw me outside. She gave me a hug and asked how you, Mommy and Daddy are doing.

Sheryl stood out in the heat and asked about you because she loves you. You make us all focus on heaven and all the good things that God has in store for Christians.

Darcy, you teach us how important it is to pray for one another, prayer is a gift freely given. You help us to give glory and praise to God. You give meaning to our lives and remind us why God created us in the first place.

Some people may think God is mean because He allowed you a little precious baby to be sick. When I think of you, I pray for you. I don't just sit here and think, "Oh, my gosh Darcy is sick."

I say, "Thank You God for the gift of Darcy Anne's life. I ask You to heal her in all the ways she needs it. I ask for a miracle for her God. More importantly I see that Darcy is already a miracle. Her very life is a witness to Christ, like her Daddy says she is a "little evangelist", a missionary. The little missionary who has no need for fancy words, no words at all. Darcy's very being edifies You, God. "

Darcy, it isn't just your being that edifies God. it's your Mommy and Daddy's too. They have choosen life for you and that is why they have been so attacked by Satan. Mommy and Daddy are missionaries too. If Mommy and Daddy had not put up this website I would not even know about you. This website in honor of you, sweetheart, is a tool/an avenue to reach souls.

Thank you for reaching into the depths of my soul and changing my life for the better. I will never be the same since I met you and your family.

Darcy Anne, you melt people's hearts, you are a magnet for searching souls! I am so proud of you.

I love you with all my heart and soul.
Love, Hugs and Prayers-
"Ant" Mary

Hi Little Darling Darcy Anne:

I saw Mommy's journal entry that you and Mommy went to your Dad's Bible Study Class. That is so neat that Daddy had you both at his class with him today.

Darcy Anne, I know you don't understand big words. There is a lady in Texas named Mary. Mary had a baby named Katrina. Katrina had an extra chromosone #18. The doctors thought she would go to heaven right away. She lived 9 years and 1 day. Katrina went to heaven in November because she got very sick with the flu. She got to enjoy a lot of time with her siblings and her sweet Mom.

We continue to pray that the doctor's test made a mistake and if it was right, we pray for Jesus, your best friend, to take that extra chromosone out of your body and make you all better.

Darcy, you melt the hearts of so many people. It's like the everyone in the world that hears about you adopts you into their hearts like one of their very own family. You are my family, Darcy, you are my sister in Christ and part of the Body of Christ, the Church.

Dear Heavenly Father:

We all thank you for the beautiful gift of Darcy Anne's life. We give glory and praise to You for creating Darcy Anne. She has come to be a blessing for so many of us and a source of inspiration, faith, hope, courage and love. This dear child blesses us all and brings us closer to You!

Please help little Darcy Anne continue to grow strong and healthy in the comfort of her Mommy's womb. Please Dear Father I humbly ask Your Son, Jesus, our loving Divine Physician to heal Darcy Anne of all illnesses and physical or health complications.

Please bless Darcy's Mommy, Daddy, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends during this time of anticipation, anxiety and time where we are all called to have great faith and trust in You! It is a time for us to grow in our faith and love of You!

Where two or more are gathered in Your name, the power of prayer is vastly abundant. Please listen to the prayers of all the prayer warriors for Darcy Anne and her family. We are all growing in faith, love and compassion because of dear little Darcy Anne.

We humbly ask all these things in the name of Jesus your Son!
AMEN!

Darcy, we think Mommy and Daddy for their words on your website which help us all grow in our faith.

Have a sweet day, Darcy! I hope your family sings pretty songs to you today.

I love you, little miss sweetness...
Love, Hugs and Prayers-

Oh, Darcy, you would have laughed hysterically just watching Mallie and your brothers and I wrestle. Wrestling is pretty much a daily routine for us as soon as I enter the door. Mallie loves me to lie on her while the boys love to be thrown down and ticked. You may have heard them laugh and probably recognize their differences by now -- Roman has a deep belly laugh, Bryson has a silent laugh with an occasional hoarse giggle, and Mallie screams at the top of lungs. All of their eyes disappear and their laughter is contagious.

When you come, Darcy, you'll see what you've been hearing for months and you would love to join in.

I can't wait to hear you laugh.

I love you, Darcy.

Daddy

Dear Darcy,

We know that our heavenly purpose for your life though it is hard for your Mommy and Daddy and their friends to understand what that is. We are blessed by all the God is doing in your family's life because you are here with us right now. Although, you will be in heaven sooner than we expected, we are so glad you are here now, close to your mommy's heart and being held lovingly by your Daddy's hands and hugged by all your siblings until that time. We know that the Lord is watching you every moment of every day, for the bible says he knows in the womb and sees us as we are being knit together. We pray the Lord will comfort your family who will miss you so much in the coming years but we also pray that your little life will impact them in a beautiful way for eternity.

Love,
Donna, Tim and the family

Hi Darcy Anne:

Yesterday at Mass/Church I sang my heart out. One of the songs was called, "Have a Little Talk With Jesus".

That's just what I do, everyday I have a little talk with Jesus about you sweet, precious Darcy Anne. You are a miracle and I praise Him for you. Then I humbly ask Him to give you a miracle and make you well.

Darcy, so many people your Mommy and Daddy know are having a talk with Jesus about you. There are also infinite numbers of people who have hard your story and never met your family but feel like you are their family getting on their knees, bowing their heads in prayer asking Jesus the Divine Physician to heal you and to send to Mommy and Daddy all the doctors and nurses that you need the most.

You are causing quite a stir precious little lady, many are returning to God so they can ask Him to help you, your Mommy and Daddy. You are surrounded by love and are teaching us all how to love one another unconditionally as Christ loves us and loves His Church.

God Bless You, beautiful child. Darcy, you have charm and charisma, you bring others to God.

Thank you God for the precious gift Darcy Anne is to me and to all of us. I am proud of you sweetie!

I love you always-
"Ant" Mary Cate

Hello, Darcy.

We watched your sisters, Lexy and Bella, play ball at the Y today and they showed their hearts like a Ramos. We are so proud of them.

Even in the middle of shouting and cheering, my mind can't help but wonder how God wired you. Athletic like Lexy? Artistic and technically adept like Bella? Versatile like Brittany? Bright and energetic like Mallie? Charming like Bryson? Or fearless and adventurous like Roman?

Mom was running and yelling up and down the field as usual. It must have been pretty bouncy in there. Did you enjoy the ride?

I felt you play two nights ago while Mom was soundly asleep. Every time I rubbed Mommy's belly you seemed to move a little more. I had a great time. Each of your siblings has their Daddy time. Let's make the nights ours, deal? :)

I love you so much. You warm my heart.

Daddy

Hi Tracy,
I just read your last entry and how confused you are. Don't be, your on the right track. If something is in your control; then take control. If you can help your baby by just saying, "yes", then say yes. Help her. I agree, doctors are the healers God has given us. We must trust God is behind everything. I believe by seeking the help God has sent you; this is God's Holy Will and God's Will can prevail in your lives if we answer "yes" to His call. We are to love all of God's creatures; no matter how perfect or imperfect they are. We are to love them with all it takes. You love your daughter and you can be her advocate. Serenity, is a very important thing to learn as a Christian and sometimes very hard to live by. It is so easy when things are out of your control to let go. That's why you are so confused and so scared, because this decision is in your control. You don't want to let go. Every mother wants to battle for her children. It's the love that gives us the strength. We, the rest of us Christians, can pray for Darcy's doctors to help her. What happens after you say "yes" is out of your control and in God's hands. Isn't that what life should be about.... allowing God to take control. This is putting it in God's hands. Trust your feelings.

"Fear destroys faith.... Faith destroys fear!"

Your doing the right thing.... don't give up.

Many Blessings

Dear Tracy,
It's me again. I was thinking a great deal about you this morning and about what I wrote to you last night and I pray I didn't upset you in anyway or your husband. I am sure this is all very overwhelming for both of you. I was looking at the picture of you and your family and it is easy to see how much God has blessed you in your life. Also, congratulations on your child's baptism... how wonderful!!!

I was asking God this morning if I had said anything wrong to you and what was just coming to me was I should have told you about my sister. Many years ago when she was young and pregnant with he first child, she called me one day crying desperately for answers. The doctor told her her child was going to be a still birth baby and if they didn't deliver the baby before she passed her seventh month of pregancy than she was sure to lose him. She had to make a decision. They told her the baby had an illness that would surely cause the child to suffer with many things and they recommended she abort the baby. She called me because she didn't know what to do. The first thing that came out of my mouth was for her to know... God will not give you anything you can't handle. He was with her to help her through this. She could only do her best to help the child. She decided to have the baby at seven months knowing the baby may not live long. The baby had many surgeries the first three months of his life and finally was able to go home. The doctor's (all of them) were certain he would not life more than a few months. But my sister and her husband were happy to have him for any length of time. They loved that little boy for almost 12 years before they lost him. And to this day they are so happy they did everything they could to keep him alive. This child was so full of love and he loved everyone that came into his life. When he left; he left us with many lessons and the biggest was that love is truly the greatest gift of all.

I truly believe that God wants us to respect all life and what that means to me is that He wants us to do everything in our means to help those who need help and to accept His Holy Will in all things. After all, God is truly the one who is in control and although our doctors are healers; they truly don't know how God can miraculously work in all of us.

Tracy, your love and your husband's is very touching. I am sure whatever happens in the end; you will truly be blessed. You already have the gift of a great faith and the gift of love. How beautiful you are inside!

May God continue to bless you greatly!
Love and blessings,
Kim

Dear little Darcy Anne,
I pray our Almighty Father will hold you in his protective hands, whether he chooses to heal you and leave you on this earth to live, or takes you right away to live with Him in heaven with the angels. In his big hands is the safest and best place for you to be. There have been times when I had to relinquish my little girl (though she is big, she is still my little girl) into the Father's mighty hands to do with as he wished, and it was not easy, but I knew that she was much better there than in mine, trying to wield my will for her life. He has a special plan for you, and you will be at peace wherever that will take you. I also pray for your Mommy that God will comfort her hurting heart and give her peace in His perfect will for you.
Love G Judy

This is a beautiful website and a real memorial for Darcy. Please continue, I also keep a journal and find it very helpful.

I've been keeping up with how you are doing and have been praying for the miracle you so hope for!

You have really touched my heart with your faith and courage. Please know that we are praying for you and your family. Your posts are amazing. I am grateful you left it public as I have been able to see someone be so strong in their faith. That testimony in itself is a reason to keep it public. I am sure I'm not the only one to admire your faith. You are showing others how to have faith during turbulent times.

God Bless your family (even more than He already has),

Dear Darcy,

I just want to say that I marvel at your truly wonderful and amazing parents and siblings.
I truly believe that we are given parents who teach us the very lessons in life that we individually need, and that your was to be loved completely and unreservedly, and to be born into a family who would do anything for you.

My little family lives far away in England, but you are close in my heart, sweet baby girl.

God Bless you and your family xx

Hello, my little one.
>
I'm amazed at how fast you are growing inside mommy. I can't wait to see you in a few weeks during the level-2 sonogram.

We've had some pretty good wrestling matches lately. It won't be long before Mallie and your brothers are stronger than me. I'm sure you can hear the giggling and can't wait to join in.

The latest craze is hanging from the chin-up bar. Even Bryson can hang pretty good. Your siblings are absolutely amazing!

>We've been very busy packing up. It's a common thing for us to be up past 12 just cleaning and packing. When you're born, we should already be in the new house. We already have a spot for your bassinet.

I love you so much!

Dear Darcy Anne,
/>I have the pleasure of meeting your daddy through our father we share "God"; and I must say I am glad to know that I have a niece on the way.

To my sister-in-law in Christ, I would like to share an idea with you in memorializing Darcy Anne while yet in your womb; I understand photos are to be taken while yet pregnant, but I was telling Jason about you having your stomach molded (cast) then having all of the families hand prints placed on it; and when Darcy get's here add her precious hand and footprints to it.
I hope you don't mind me presenting this idea, but if I had the chance to do it with my son that is no longer with us, I would have.
/>Well Darcy Anne, Auntie Norma Jean is not going to take up any more space in you journal, but just know that you have found a place in my heart./>

Hello, my little angel.

We saw you through the 3-D Sonogram a few days ago. You're pretty like your mommy. You looked so comfy curled up inside mommy. We were amazed at how you moved whenever you heard my voice. That made me feel great.

We're getting close to moving to our new house. God's working everything out nicely. We're all very tired, but have no reason to complain. :)

I love you. Can't wait to hear your first cry.

Hi Precious Darcy Anne:

I am so blessed to see your precious face on the 3D Photo. I wonder if you are going to have blonde hair like your Mommy.

Darcy, you keep us all busy praying for you, Mommy, Daddy, the doctors, nurses, all those entrusted to your care, and of course, your brothers and sisters.

You are a great teacher. We see you and look beyond the big sometimes scary words we fear and focus on the hope and trust we have in your best friend, Jesus.

Mommy and Daddy received some great news about cysts last week. God is always there and always working on your behalf even while we sleep. He is always there for you, gently caring for your needs.

It is awesome that you are moving a lot and saying hello to your Mommy and family.

I am so glad your Mommy can now listen to your heartbeat. That is another gift from God.

I praise God that He made you, Darcy, and that you already give God glory and praise from the womb.

We continue to pray for you to grow stronger and more healthy each second.

I really think you are being prayed for each moment of the day as so many people around the world love you.

I wonder what God's dreams for you are sweetheart. We will wait and see as God is still keeping that a secret.

You are beautiful!

I will be calling some monasteries today and giving them an update on you. That is what I do on Tuesdays.

God Bless You Always, Sweet Baby!
Love, Hugs and Prayers-

I just found out about your situation. I have been sitting here crying as I read your blog. It is amazing to me how God works! Several weeks ago, Michael and I were talking about the fact that I had an overwhelming desire to pray for you and your family. So, we stopped what we were doing and prayed over you guys for a while, knowing nothing of what was going on in your lives. Now that we know, we will continue to pray for you with all diligence!

Hello,
I believe that our Almighty God is showing His power in that you are so lively and vibrant, and responding to your parent's voices. Who knows what else He has in store. As the word says it will be "beyond all that we could ask or think." He could heal you completely if He chooses.
Praise God that only He knows what the future will be, and whatever it will be we will continue to see His mighty hand working.

Hi Darcy Anne:

What great news that those brain cysts have disappeared! I know those are such big words for a little girl to understand.

We are praying for God to heal all things in your body and to give Mommy and Daddy peace.

Darcy Anne, I have a friend who is a priest for the Missionaries of Charity Fathers -- (the Missionaries of Charity Sisters are the order of sisters Mother Teresa belonged to). When Darren was studying to be a priest, Mother Teresa told them, "Let nothing so fill you with sadness that you forget the joy of the Risen Christ". How true that is.

I have learned alot about faith, seeing God in all things from my college friend, Father Darren. I always hang on to that in good times and in hard times as well.

"Let nothing so fill you with sadness that you forget the joy of the Risen Christ."

Darcy Anne, you know nothing but joy in the confort of your mother's loving womb. I pray that in the days to come, you will continue to heal and know the love of Jesus the Christ, our Blessed Redeemer and Savior of the world.

I love you sweet little one. I am in awe at your beautiful photo. God loves you precious and beautiful little Darcy Anne. May God continue to bless you and heal you in all the ways you need it most.

I love you and would do anything the Lord asled me if it would help you.

All my love and joy at your beauty and preciousness-

Hi Darcy Anne! I hope that you are feeling nice and snug in Mommy's tummy today :)

I was wondering if you got the prayer shawl I made for you and your Mommy? I hope it didn't get lost in the mail, it took me many hours of praying and stitching it to make it for you. You and your precious Mommy (and Daddy and brothers and sisters too) are always in my prayers!

Love,
Samantha (Mary Cate's friend)

Darcy Anne,
I think you have the most incredible family. Your Dad is a Godly man that is honest, caring and engaged in life. He is selfless and yet so real and so human. I pray that you get to hang out in his arms and bless him. He is a blessing to a lot of people. Your Mom is a wonderful Godly woman that has been a blessing to me by being a blessing to my wife. Your oldest sister is pretty awesome too. My wife and middle son love her a lot. I don't know the rest of your family that well yet, but I get that they are pretty awesome too. I have a daughter and son that are in heaven and when God decides to bring you to Himself, please look for Treya and Xion and give them a hug and a kiss for me. love you - Lance

Tracy, Lance reminded me tonight of a poem I wrote right after we lost Treya. He encouraged me to share it with you. Im a little shy about things like this but here goes.......


I feel my loss still every day

and most days theres not much to say,

just an ache that lies deep inside,

and shows up occasionally in my eyes.



I never thought it'd happen to me,

and though it has i've chosen to see,

that God's plan for me goes past my pain,

as a sacrifice so others gain.



And compared to what He's done for me,

my sacrifice, as you can see,

was small, Oh that i would choose to give,

if it would help many others live.



For see she's safe and guaranteed,

a place beside Him for eternity,

and soon there I will see the angel I gave,

along with others she may have helped to save.



So Lord help me use my daughters death,

to show your grace and its depth,

take the love for her that will never quit,

and give it to others, through me, as you see fit.



So I might be your helping hand

and her existence though short will stand.





I dont know if you can totally understand it but its mostly talking about how much God changed me in losing Treya and how he softened my heart so much and that maybe that in losing her I have learned to be even more sensitive to others.

Much Love
Stacy

Hi, Darcy.

We have finally moved to your new home. We have a spot just for you and I think you'll love it. You have a wonderful church family. There were about 45 people who came to help move and unpack in the course of three days. It was hot and the work was hard, but all who showed up should give you an idea of how much you are loved.

Mom hasn't written to you in a while, but she talks to you everyday. Please be patient while I get the internet hooked up at the new house. We haven't had TV and the internet in a week and no one seems to miss it. But I have a sneaking suspicion that we will probably miss it once the packing gets done :)

Your mommy has been having some contractions lately. I wonder if you're ready to come out? Don't rush it, dear. You need a little more time in the womb. But we'll be here whenever you are ready alright?

I love you very much.

Daddy

Hi Precious Darcy Anne-

Your family has been very busy moving and know you feel all the excitement.

It is good to see that Daddy wrote you as everyone is praying for you and asking me about you. You already have more friends than I have in 40 years!

I humbly ask God to take extra special care of you and Mommy. I pray you stay safe in Mommy's comfortable womb until you are bigger and stronger.

Don't pull a trick like Ant Mary Cate and come out to soon. My Mommy and Daddy were so scared when I came 11 weeks early. I am still a fighter today at 98 pounds, I am still petite.

I already know you are beautiful and going to be petite and dainty.

You are loved so just stay inside Mommy eat, rest and sleep precious little one. You will get to meet everyone face to face soon and your new house soon.

Sweet dreams sweetheart. Ant Mary Cate loves you and is praying for you.

Hi, Darcy.

I told a friend at work about how you are our "little evangelist" and she almost started singing and praising. What a blessing you really are, Darcy!

We have the play area up and ready. Our backyard is starting to look like a little park. I think you'll think it's cool.

The days have been flying by and you will be with us soon. Can't wait for that time to come.

I love you.

Good Morning Little Sweetie Pie:

I am praying for you and Mommy that you are having a great morning.

I read that you are moving aorund a lot. I bet you like music and moving around is your way of dancing!

Sweet child you are so precious to everyone.

My Mom is sick right now and has a cyst on her Pancreas, she needs a lot of prayers. I found out yesterday my aunt has bone cancer for the first time and breast cancer for the third time. A cousin may lose his foot to a staph infection due to infection during the 5 surgeries he has had in the past year. Another cousin has fluid on the brain and is waiting for a shunt. My brother has three brain surgeries for melanoma and he is a miracle like you little precious baby Darcy Anne. My brother just had another type of skin cancer removed. My Dad's PSA level keeps climbing.

When medical problems come, God sends doctors to help the best they can. I pray for the doctors, nurses and all the medical professionals who will be caring for you and Mommy, to care for you according to God's Most Holy Word, not according to the National Institute of Health policies.

I trust God with all my heart and place you my sweet little adopted niece in His loving hands with the rest of my family.

I love you little sweetheart! Here's a hug from me.
Love, Hugs and Prayers-

Dear Darcy,
I want you to know that since the day I met your mom at the bank, I have done nothing but think of you. I am so proud of you and your mom for hanging in there and not losing hope. I truly believe that faith IS the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of the unseen. Darcy, you are the evidence of faith. You are the miracle that will be seen. I thank God for bringing you mom into the bank that day. She helped restore my faith in more ways than you can imagine. I know you have a purpose driven life and can't wait to meet you.

Love forever,
Tiffani

 

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:47:42

Dear Tracy & Jason,

A co-worker turned me on to your web site and I spent the entire morning reading through all of the Dear Diary and blog entries. As a fellow-Christian, I applaud you in your faith and conviction that God WILL see you through this road He is leading you on. I will begin today, praying for you and your family and all that God is doing through your lives.

Although not the same chromosome situation as T18, my family went thru a slightly similar situation and I wanted to share with you how God touched my life through it. We tried 9 years to get pregnant with our daughter. We tried 18 months to get pregnant with our son. We then prevented further pregnancies, as we didn’t have the time or finances to afford another child as we were both career military and knew our pay would not have any significant pay raises for several years after our son was born. My husband left for a 6-month deployment on a Navy ship and 3 days later, I found out I’d somehow gotten pregnant. I was shocked, yet unable to be with my husband when he found out (by letter). At first, I worried about how we would afford this new baby, knowing our pay would not change but that our cost for it would be approximately $350/month. We had just bought a new house when pregnant with baby #2 and were upside-down in equity in it, so selling it was out of the question.

When I turned 4 months pregnant, my OB/GYN doctor strongly urged me to have an amnio test (because I would be almost 35 when baby #3 was due). I had it done and the results were bad (although not as devastating as yours). Our baby was missing a chromosome and stood a high chance of have ambiguous genitalia and abnormal intelligence. I’d never heard of ambiguous genitalia but it’s when the baby is born an “it” and the parents decide on what sex they want their child to be and then doctors try and surgically “create” those genital parts. Abnormal intelligence was explained as being anything from having a speech impediment to being fully retarded. My doctor suggested I have a “pubs-amnio”, to confirm the original test, as it has a higher accuracy. A pubs-amnio also has places a higher risk on the fetus and during that pubs-amnio, we all watched the sonogram screen as my baby went into fetal distress, almost dying before our eyes. We all hardly breathe or made a move in the OR they had me in, wondering if they would need to do an immediate C-section to try and save him. His heart rate slowly recovered going as low as 18 beats/minute and they stopped further attempts at drawing blood from the umbilical cord.

My doctor strongly urged me to abort my baby, and without my husband by my side, I felt like the decision was all up to me. He was half-way around the world, unable to pick up the phone if I wanted to call him, with our mail taking 1-2 weeks each direction. Through those 6 months of his absence, I kept fearing the worst, but through his 6 months of absence, he kept replying that “God won’t give us more than we can handle, and everything is going to be okay.” I felt like he was in denial and Satan kept trying to attach our marriage with my doubts and insecurities, all the while maintaining being an active-duty Sailor, maintaining a household and two young children and an hour-commute each way to work, all the while feeling like a single parent.

Two weeks before Dave’s ship returned, my OB doctor finally did the first sonogram to check the baby and we found out her fears were confirmed: he had totally ambiguous genitalia. I was crushed in spirit. The Sunday before Dave’s ship returned, during a Sunday service, I felt “called” to go forward during our church’s alter call and be prayed for. Not a word was spoken between myself or the person who “laid hands on me” and in the past, Sunday after Sunday when they had alter call during the service, I stood there and thought that whole part of the service was “hokey” and unrealistic. Well, God urged me forward and someone “laid hands and prayed on me”, although they knew not what for. Dave’s ship returned the next day and the following day we had a very long appt with the Navy’s senior neonatologists/specialists. I had a list 2 pages long of questions and not one could be answered except for them to reply “we have to wait until your baby is born and we actually see what we’re working with.” After that appt, my OB asked my husband to come to the examining room so she could “show him” what we had been talking about, as his demeanor through the whole appt was that I was wasting their time. To her and my amazement, when the baby popped up on the sonogram screen he had anything but ambiguous genitalia! She and I were amazed and then I remembered: two days before this appt I had gone forward

 

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:45:32

I guess I got too long-winded and didn't realize part of my story got cut off.

We were overjoyed at this great miracle that God had performed until my next appt when they started the fetal monitoring. They discovered that the amount of amniotic fluid around the baby was only about a 1/2 of what should be there and his positioning against the placenta meant his lack of blood/oxygen received from the placenta could cause him to die at any time (like having a garden hose kinked at a 90-degree angle – not much water comes out) We went for monitoring every 2 days for 3 weeks, knowing that if the fluid level had gone below a certain point (that it hovered near), they would do an immediate C-section at any time to try to save him.

After 3 weeks of those appts, one Sunday Dave urged me to go forward during the alter call at church. I disagreed, saying we’d already had one miracle by God and I wasn’t going to be greedy and demand another. Dave won and he and I went forward and he laid hands on me and prayed for our baby. The next day at our appt the fluid level had tripled overnight – another miracle in the doctor’s eyes! That was great news; the bad news was that my blood pressure was high and I (still) needed to be monitored every other day, and at any appt if my blood pressure was too high, they would do an immediate C-section. So, during our last 6 weeks of pregnancy, we seemed to live at the hospital, every other day. Our son was born after inducing labor on my due date and immediately after birth they drew his blood and sent it for testing to confirm he has the very, very rare Mosaic Turner Syndrome. After his birth, we were told by the pediatric doctor of many other physical (internal and external) abnormalities, that his body should have and yet he had not even one! We called him our “miracle baby”. Alex is definitely missing a chromosome, yet he has ZERO abnormalities associated with his syndrome – which is a miracle in itself! He is just a total boy, through & through! 

When he was one week old, we signed papers to refinance our home after interest rates dropped during our pregnancy, and our house payment dropped $350/month! Our son will soon be 17 years old and he is by far, the best of our three children, the kindest, most caring child you’d ever meet and has a wonderful faith in God. A family picture taken in March 2008 to commemorate Dave’s & my 30th anniversary shows Alex standing in the back right, behind his Dad: http://www.pbase.com/lbogan/image/94748755.

My story is long but I send it to agree with you, that although the turmoil you are undergoing during the pregnancy seems so difficult at times and it’s hard not to fear the worst outcome, God has shown through my own instance, that He still performs miracles in today’s times that doctors can’t explain and that in our case, He knew how much this third child would be a blessing to our family, and Alex has been, beyond our wildest dreams. My faith grew and has continued to be strong ever since my pregnancy with Alex.

Imagine how you could endure this pregnancy if you didn’t know and believe in Him? Also imagine how you would endure Darcy’s birth if you didn’t know of her medical issues, and only planned on coming home with a healthy baby? God has shown you mercy in allowing you His foresight in the probability of her shortened life, and in doing so, allows you to bond with her even stronger now, every moment she’s inside of you.

Take care and know you will continue to be in my prayers and I will continue to read your diary entries of the journey God is currently taking you through.

In Christ’s Name,
Lisa Bogan, Taylor, TX

Hi Sweet Little Darcy Anne:

I am sitting here smiling as I think of you, precious little girl. You are a beautiful daughter of the King so wonderously and perfectly made just the way you are.

Whenever I think of you, I think of God. I think of heaven and the greatness and mighty power of God.

I continue to gather prayers for you sweetheart. You have changed my life more than you will ever know.

Stay safe in Mommy's womb and grow a little more before you come meet the world. I have prayed for you as I know my own parents went through a lot when I was born 11 weeks early.

Don't come out and show us how beautiful you are just yet we can wait a little longer darling baby girl. You are loved.

God Bless You and I will blow Jesus a kiss for you tonight.

Hi, Darcy!

It's been a while since I wrote you, but you probably heard what's been going on around you for the past several days.

Hurricane Ike came and went. God's hedge was always there to make sure we were safe and no trees fell on the house. Your mom and siblings did really well during the storm and everyone helped out. You should be proud of how your little family comes together to help each other out. They are a hard-working and caring bunch.

Based on several signs, you are about to show yourself to us within the next few days. Feel free to take your time. But if you have to come, by all means, come! We're ready for you :)

I love you, my little one. Can't wait to hold you.

Dear Sweet Baby Darcy Anne -

How beautiful is your precious face oh beautiful baby consecrated to God!

Welcome...welcome sweetheart...I don't think there has been a baby loved by so many in all the world.

Darcy Anne, you made us all better people, better Christians. Hearing your story has caused us all to think about what do we really believe, whom do we really trust?

Do we really trust in You God or do we fall into the pit of despair?

Mommy, Daddy and your siblings all love you more than you could ever imagine. You have such an extended family in the Body of Christ throughout the world.

Darcy Anne, you brought people together throughout the world, all asking God for a miracle for YOU!

We will continue to be united in pray for you and your family.

Thank You, Heavenly Father for using Darcy as a missionary even before birth to teach us all that You are Master and King. You have all the answers, all we need to do is trust in Your power and give you glory and honor.

Your grandma is smiling at you from heaven!

Thank you for the precious photos.

Jason, Tracy, and family,
We are a bit late in letting you know how beautiful Darcy is! The pictures from her birth and today show the tremendous joy and love that is present in your family. Tracy, I know we spoke one Sunday at church about how all along we've been praying for complete healing for Darcy and I want you to know that we still haven't changed that prayer. We saw the e-mail from Pastor Dan and will continue to pray for her comfort as well. We are also praying for strength and comfort for the whole family during this time of uncertainty. I know you know and believe that God is still able to perform miracles today so try to focus on Him.
Hugs and prayers,
Kevin, Bethany, Lorien, Eleora, and Kyria

Hi Precious Baby Girl Darcy Anne:

You are more than beautiful, you are an awesome, amazing miracle, the work of the Lord's hands.

I praise God for the joy you bring your family and the Body of Christ throughout the world.

How precious that you and your sisters are already have girl time! You are so loved precious Darcy Anne.

Darcy, my Mom is really sick with pancreatic cancer and is having a stress test on her heart Friday. If she passes the heart test, she will have pancreatic cancer surgery on Oct 7 at 8:15 a.m.

Welton and I are traveling to Missouri and will stay in St Louis with Mom. Dad is too ill to stay there for an entire week. After Mom goes home, I will take care of her and my Dad for several months. After she recuperates she will have chemo and radiation.

I humbly ask your friends, family and church family to pray for a miracle for my Mom and for God to strengthen my Dad during this difficult time.

My Mom and Dad continue to pray for you sweetheart and your family.

Oh how loved you are on all the earth. I bet you have had more prayers go up to heaven for you already than more most would in 100 years!

I wish I could hug you, instead I'll blow Jesus a kiss and thank Him that you are wonderfully made.

I praise God for you little princess and adorable daughter of the King of Kings.

My friend, Samantha, will keep me posted on how you are while I am at the hospital and away from a computer.

Love, Hugs and Prayers-
"Ant" Mary Cate and "Uncle Welton"

Hey there little Miss Darcy Anne! When are you going for your heart surgery, Princess? I remember when you were still all curled up in Mommy's tummy and the doctors said that if you lived and fought for 48 hours they would operate on your heart. You sure showed them you have a fighting spirit and will to live! :)

My prayers and the prayers of my church family are with you, Little One!

What an awesome family! I am praying for Darcy and all her family. What an amazing story of great love and courage, and look at how many countless lives you are touching! God still does miracles! Expect one every day.

Hello, Darcy.

I must tell you how it's been a pleasure staying up with you. I love it when you open your eyes and look at me. I can stare at you forever.

Your mommy amazes me. I am so proud to be married to a woman like your mommy. Watching her care for you makes me love her even more. She loves you so much, Darcy.

You have made me so proud of our little family. I am proud to have daughters like your sisters and sons like your brothers. Brittany counts it a pleasure to feed you in the middle of the night because she wants to bond with you. Your siblings can't stop giving you kisses. Even Bryson, your one-year-old brother keeps coming to kiss you.

Life seems difficult right now. But it has many sweet moments. The sounds that your oxygen machine makes will be with me forever. Thank you for gracing us with your presence.

I'm gonna try and take a short nap. I'll see you in a few...

Daddy.

Hello Miss Darcy,

It was so good to see you the other day even though you were sleeping. I took a couple of pictures of you and one of Grant. He gasped when he saw you. :-)

We are all so happy you are here and blessing everyone with every breath you take. You are quite THE GCC celebrity mam!

I made you a button and a sticker for the facebook crew. They say "I love Darcy Anne" and its a picture of mommy kissing you! I also made you a hat but I am not pleased with it so I think im going to redo it.

Anyway, I just wanted to drop in and say hello to you and your family. You have the most amazing family and I just well up each time I think of Brittany and how much I love her and how fabulous and helpful ive heard she is.

Such a tiny little chicka you are with so many blessings!

I pray you sleep well and eat well. God peace to your home and MAYBE... ill see you at church tomorrow!

Hello, Darcy.

It's 5:39 am and I am on guard. You had an awful day today. You died three times but are still here with us!

You have one last item on your Darcy List. With all that I've seen God do through you, I am not counting you out yet. You will make it to church tomorrow to be with those who prayed for you endlessly. You will sing praises with us and see a glimpse of what you will be doing in the presence of Jesus very soon.

One more Darcy, just one more. Whatever pain you feel now, it will be over soon. But if you have to go, I understand.

I love you, I love you, I love you.

Your Daddy.

Please know that you are loved by so many and that I will never take for granted the lessons that can be learned from your life. May the rest of your journey here be as painless as possible.

Ramos Family,
What a week you've had! Darcy has checked off almost every item on her list! I woke up this morning and immediately began praying for her and you. After I prayed and did a few things around here I came to look at the diary and was moved to tears. I cannot imagine how difficult last night must have been for you. I am so sorry that you had to watch her go through that. What a fighter she is! I know if you and Darcy are up to it you will have her at church, and I am so sad that we can't be there to worship with you. Lorien and Kyria are both sick and we don't want any germs to come your way so we will stay here and worship as a family. We will continue praying for healing, comfort, and strength for all of you.
Bethany and Kevin

Oh sweet Darcy,

The battle is hard. I know you are fighting w/everything you have. I am in tears after ready what your Mommy and Daddy wrote. They love you so much and I know you feel that. I am praying I can meet you when we are home in 2 weeks. However, we are praying that you are w/o pain. You are so precious to so many. God has used you to be a witness to so many people. I love your Mommy so much and so wish I could be there for her right now. Darcy we are praying!!

Dear Darcy,
I've sat here for days trying to find the words I need you to hear, how can I express to you and your family, even though we've never met, how much you have affected my life. How can I put into words what I'm feeling? You don't know who I am but I've followed your story online on the CS boards and then through your website. I remember when your mom first posted about your condition and we cried for you and your family. What amazes me is your families unblinded love for God through everything, it's really touched me in a way I didn't know that I needed. You see, little one, many years ago I lost my faith and have been going day by day since trying to find the answers that I needed. After reading your mom's entries and doing a lot of soul searching because of it I believe I have found my way back into his arms, it's a good feeling. I just wanted to thank you and your family for bringing me that, you'll never realize how much you've touched my life. My family and I will continue to pray for you and your family, you are such a strong little girl! and wanted to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you ♥

Dear Darcy,

What an amazing beautiful, little fighter you are. And what a life. I've been praying for you just for the past couple days, since a link to your site was passed on to my email. I am sending a Dreams of You package to your family. And I pray that you and your family will find great comfort and sufficient grace in the arms of our Heavenly Father as He carries all of you. I so hope you made it to the last item on your list, dear sweet one...but if not, I know that you left this earth surrounded by love and entered heaven surrounded by love. We are praying God's continued comfort and strength for you. And we are rejoicing with you and your family for this time you have had and the miracle you are...we are weeping with your family for the moments of sorrow on this journey. What a beautiful, inspirational family you have. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

In His Grace,

I normally have a scripture to quote but at this time there is none, I am so choked up with emotion. YOU are true evidence of the Power of God.

I know that this time is hard but I also know that with your faith and relationship with our Father, you will be okay. This is the development of your testimony.

I come to this website almost every hour to get an update.Just reading your story your home is like ours.Again I wish you all the best.

Sweet Darcy, I cannot tell you what a privilgedge it was to meet you finally, last week. I have been praying since before you arrived. You are sucha gift from God that I felt like I was standing on Hallowed ground in your prescence. You are so beautiful, it was hard to take my eyes off of you. Know that I love you, as does your whole church family, yes, family, for you belong to all of us and we all adore you.

 

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 09:36:59

Dear Darcy, Reading your mom's writing about you having apnea is heartbreaking. Your life is so precious and your testimony is powerful. You have spoke louder in your life so far then most have spoke in their entire life. Many people waste their lives doing nothing to glorify God or even deny Him. But you Darcy are an angel. A sweet precious angel whom the world will be touched by!

Sharing your family thru this incredible technology has given us a peak at the wonderful love and time with Jesus after our time on earth. We love each of you and thank you for shining brightly in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Dearest Darcy Anne & Ramos Family,

After reading your diaries and entries here, my heart is about to burst for you all. What an incredible journey I have been following here. I don't know how you can find the strength to continue updating the diaries and blogs. It is nothing short of amazing. You are all special beyond what words can describe.

I cannot even imagine what you must be going through. I am praying, constantly, for another miracle in healing...every day...to continue, thru maybe even another week. What glory it will be to God as he heals you Darcy Anne. And no matter what, you are still the biggest miracle I've ever personally witnessed from God in my 54 year life span.

God bless each and every one of you. I only wish I could be where you are...I'd be on your doorstep doing whatever it took to help you through this. You touch me to the very core of my being. Your faith has strengthened my faith.

Angel Hugs,
Peggy Harris

Dear Precious Darcy and Family,

You don't know me at all, but I just read about your amazing little self and your family's journey to come to this point. My heart is stricken for your grief and is bursting at the amazing testimony you all are. Little Darcy, you are a true testimony that the worth of souls is great in the sight of God. Every life is precious and has opportunity to accomplish so much good. Though your time in this world may be short, you are truly an instrument in His hands. You are an example of the light that is set upon a hill, a city that cannot be hid. I will continue to pray for you and your brothers and sisters and your mommy and daddy. May our Heavenly Father bless you with peace and the comfort of ministering angels to hold you up.

Hi Darcy,

It's quitting time for me and I just wanted to jot a line of encouragement to you and your family.

God is our refuge and our strength. There is no one like Him. You are one of His angels that was sent here for a purpose and you have helped so many of us to see that our burdens are never too much.

We just have to look to Him for strength as the Bible says - we can do all things through Him who strengthens us.

God Bless You sweet baby girl!!!!

Sweet Darcy,

This is the 200th comment to be posted to you precious girl!! I was so happy to see your Mommy's post this morning! You keep fighting! How did you like church last night? Isn't our church filled with the most amazing godly people? We are working hard here in CO so we can come home and meet you. Everyone is helping our Daddy to get all of his work done so we can come home to TX. You will be one of our very first stops! We are still praying from CO. Give your Mommy another hug for me (or a smile)!

love you,
Shannon

Dearest little Darcy, Your family is an inspiration to all, you are one of God's sweetest miracles. For months I have been following you, to see you is a gift from God. I lead a Bible study in the women's detetion center, today I took your story, all 43 pages. What an awesome impact you and your family had on these ladies. They offer up their prayers for all of you, God has used you in a mighty way and will continue to do so. Thank you for sharing your life with so many. God is so Good. Margery

Dear Darcy,

I'm very sad to hear about the rough few days you've had. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this and that your family knows that your time here on earth is near an end.

I read your daddy's post that said you had died several times, but yet are still here. What a fighter you are, honey.

I'm so choked up and emotional Ramos family! I just can't even imagine continuing to get the 'previews' of Darcy leaving. It's amazing that she comes back, but what a thing to have to keep enduring.

You're all on my mind daily! You all have really impacted the lives of many including mine. You never leave my thoughts and prayers.

I will pray for your continued strength.

Love and prayers,
Kristie

Hi Darcy!

It's been a few days since I left Texas. I'm pretty bad at reading blogs, and I honestly hadn't checked your blog in a few weeks. It's amazing how you and your family have impacted so many lives! God really is working through you. You are such a fighter! I've lived much longer than you, yet I want to be just like you! God is good! I pray for you and continued strength for your Mom, Dad, sisters, and brothers.

I wish you could meet your cousins.

I miss you!

Love,

Precious DarcyAnne,
You have surprised so many in your strengths, little one. No one knew what to expect from you when you arrived but you seemed to adapt to life outside your mommy so well (as your daddy put it: someone forgot to tell you that you had trisomy 18). It was a joy to be there @ your birth. You made it through that first night and seemed to thrive. We had to figure out the next challenge for you: Feedings.
I knew through your other nurses that you went home with your family and now have been reading about the past week in your life. I cried tears for you and your family when reading about last Sat. night. How you keep fighting for time with your family and how they cherish you.
You are AMAZING!
God bless you and keep you. Saying prayers for you and your family.

Tracy..
Just dropping by tonight to tell you how much I have been thinking of your family today. I have been here a few times today to see an update on your princess. I just want to tell you how much you are an inspiration to myself, and my family. I look at you and your faith in God, and it also has drawn me closer to him. I don't think that there is a more stronger woman out there than you.

Darcy..you are a miracle child. I am continuously amazed at your strength to fight to stay with your mommy and daddy and family. You are here for a reason, and I know personally you have touched my life in a way I cannot explain.

God is amazing.. If you are able to tolerate a heart transplant, that would just be incredible. I really want nothing more than you to be here on earth as long as you can. You are a fighter, and you are so strong. I will continue to look for updates.
Heather

Darcy and Family-

I became aware of your story today on CS. I am at a loss for words and at this point don't know exactly what to say. We are praying for you here in Virginia. You are truly a blessing and fighter and I know you are doing everything you can to continue to be strong. I have never been more blessed to share my name with anyone...so today after reading your story you made me proud to be a "Darcy" also. We love you and stay strong baby girl.

Love,
Darcy

 

Amanda

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:27:39

I also ran across Darcy's story on CS. I am absolutely in awe of God's love and strength as I read what all this amazing little girl has accomplished in such a small amount of time! To bring someone back to God, to have a heart offered, to do things in her short life that I have never done in my 28 years is absolutely amazing! God is blessing everyone who knows her personally or who even knows of her presence on earth with everyday that she is here.

Ramos family, you are all an inspiration in strong faith, love and determination. As I read the diary, I look and think, wow, even with the easier times, there is no way I would have had that strength! God is so good to us and His love for us is so evident in your story.

I think of you as brothers and sisters and feel so much pain for you, but I also feel the love you exude for your family and that sweet angel. Please know she is recieving prayers from Alabama! I know that my life is changed for having read her story and hear her progress.

May you all keep your amazing faith and have strength and peace for your days to come and may God bind any grief or uncertainty that you experience. Love in Christ.

Amanda

What a beautiful and special little angel. She has touched so many lives. I am humbled by the responses of others on this site; it is amazing how Darcy has accomplished so much in her life - more than most people will ever accomplish in their decades on earth.

I think you have one of the best families in the whole world - a shining example of true and limitless love. You and your family have so much to teach the world abot love, family, God's grace...You are all in my prayers and thoughts daily .

Darcy has been touched by God in such a way that she has the power to touch others so deeply...God bless you sweet little Darcy Anne. What an amazing little miracle!

Dear Darcy, I just want you to know I am thinking of you and praying for you! You have just the best mommy and daddy ever, and they love you so much. I am so glad they have had so long with you and that you have been doing well. You are a precious jewel from our Abba Father and He loves you so much. You are fearfully and wonderfully made! Your life is of great value and precious in His sight. I am praying for your sisters and brothers too, and of course for your mommy and daddy. God's grace and comfort are bountiful.

Love,

You are fighting! Good girl : ) Mrs. R. said you are just beautiful and are doing so well. I keep getting great reports about you from so many people sent to us in CO. We will be home next weekend and can't wait to meet you! We are praying you get stronger and stronger and can go see that cardiologist!! We all love you little one! Will you hug Mommy one more time for me? thanks sweet baby!!

Dear Darcy,

Well, what can I say you little Trooper? Tita Christy thinks about you constantly while she is at work and I text your Uncle Keith to check your site. Around 6pm NY time today he said he didn't see any updates and my heart sank! As soon as I got home (and every night since I have heard of your arrival) I rushed home and breathed such a sigh of relief!!!! You are absolutely beautiful!!! (It helps that you have pretty parents too!) I think of you when I lay may head down at night and pray for you!! Hugs and Kisses!

Dear Darcy,
I don't know you or your family personally, but I feel like I do from reading your story. Realizing how precious the time God gives us here on earth with our earthly family makes me want to treasure the time I have with everyone in my life even more... especially my son.
I thank God that you have passed all odds and have been able to spend so much time with your earthly family. I pray that the remainder of the time God chooses to give you will feel loved, peaceful, and comfortable. I am so glad that you are here with us to experience God's beautiful world!

We are praying here as well. I woke up and she was the first thing on my mind so I started out praying specifically for her this morning. I didn't come on to check on her until after 11 and now I know why she was so strong in my mind. We will keep praying for you all.

Hello, Darcy.

I am sitting here watching you and Mommy. I know that I can never count you out. We thought you left. Your heart was beating so slowly for minutes, but seems you are making a come back... again.

We hate to see you suffer, but will fight alongside with you to stay alive.

Ultimately, we really have no control. God is the One who numbers our days. It wasn't our CPR that revived you. We committed you to the Lord at 1 pm, but you haven't left us yet. We must have said I love you a million times.

Stay calm, my sweet daughter. Peace and be still, my sister.

We love you, we love you, we love you...

Daddy

Oh Darcy, sweet baby, you are such a blessing to us all. I feel blessed just knowing about you and being able to read about you each day. I sure wish I still lived in TX because I would definitely have to come see you, even if it was thru a window.

You are a miracle, one of His Chosen Ones. I pray that you go back to Him peacefully and without pain. Let the love and prayers of us all, lift you up when your deliverance time comes.

I lost my baby boy in August and a poem was written for me and my son and I would like to share it with you and your family. It was written by a coworker of mine, his name is Bruce and I told him this poem is way too pretty to be just mine.

The Sun Still Rises

We wake up to days full of sun, full of renewal,
We bask in its rays, and in its shade, we feel cool,
Each day never a copy of the one before,
Night brings anticipation of what daybreak has in store.

We measure of our lives by the passing of days,
And accept our faith as sure as the sun’s rays,
We measure our love by the ones we touch,
We’re blindly devoted, for we feel so much.

We don’t question the depths of it all.

When sunlight turns to shadow, we feel relief,
When sunset turns to darkness, we accept it,
When God chooses a path for us, we follow it with spirit,
We don’t question what we don’t control.

The darkest nights still and always will lead to the dawn,
The shadows will disappear and be replaced by the sun,
Rain drops will fall and then they will dry,
Leaving a path marked clearly for us, we won’t question why.

So what do we question, if not for the days?
We ask for guidance, strength and resolve,
We ask for purpose in our lives, to explain our dreams,
We know there’s a plan, only God knows, it seems.

The sun still rises, and we’re enraptured by its grace,
Like children in a blanket, we’re warmed by its embrace,
We’re strengthened by its light, and given vision,
We now see what lies ahead of us, but not in the distance,
It’s not our decision.

Life will play itself out well beyond what we imagine,
We’ll live out each day, in wonder of what will happen,
We‘ll love what we can hold, that the sun still rises,
We’ll have faith in what lies ahead, beyond our eyes.

Draw strength from life, from love, from faith…

Dearest Darcy,

I haven't been to church in a very long time. But on my way home from work today, I spotted a church that I never notice was there before. So, I stopped to go inside and pray.

I prayed for strength . . . for you, for your Mom, Dad, sisters, brothers, and the rest of our family. I prayed that you are not hurting or suffering. Finally, I thanked God for YOU!

Last night, I celebrated your birthday. . . just like I do every night at 9:52 pm.

You have changed my life.

Uncle Kim and I love you very much!

I been following Darcy's story for some time now. I pray for her and your family many times a day. I work full time and the first thing I do when I get home is get on the computer to check on Darcy. I have a 2 1/2 year old son so I know how strong the love of a child is. Give that sweet child a kiss and hold her tight!!! I will continue to pray for your family and pray that sweet Darcy does not suffer!!

What a miracle sweet Darcy you have been to your family and many of us who have come to know your mommy through other sources. It has been amazing to get to know you through all the wonderful stories and pictures your mommy has been sharing with us. I will pray for you as you continue on in your journey here. I will pray for strength and healing for your family when God calls you home, as I know they will miss you terribly.

Love to you and your family,

Hi Precious Darcy Anne:

I love you of sweet child of God! I praise Him for making you so wonderfully made and that God had our paths meet.

I have been helping my Mom who has had pancreatic cancer surgery. She is still in the hospital and is very weak.

It has been about 40 hours since I have slept in a bed and this is the first time I have been able to have computer access since Oct 2.

I love you sweet baby and continue to lift you up in prayer. I never cease to pray for you.

I wish I could hug you, I'll blow you a kiss instead.

Love, Hugs and Prayers Always-
"Ant" Mary Cate

 

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 21:04:36

Dearest Darcy Anne,

I've only written once up until now and that was before you arrived. Now that I have met you and held you for two whole nights, and am a little less sleepy, I just have to write to you. You are so amazing! You are beautiful beyond words and your little personality is precious. Like your mommy, told me, your pout is just the most beautiful thing about your expressions...such sweet little lips and eloquent dark eyes. You have the strongest grip I ever could have imagined. Mr. Tim tried it first and you held on to his finger like you would never let it go!

I can still feel your little body moving up and down with your breathing while you slept and it was like a miracle come to life to me to hold you in my arms. I never thought at all that I would get to do that!

Once two nights ago, you woke up while I was changing your diaper and you looked around with those dark eyes as if in amazement at where you were and what was going on. (Cool air on the bottom does that to a person I'm sure!) It was a magical moment and I was just in awe to see you looking around and truly taking it all in. And then you promptly went back to sleep. It was a moment I will never forget.

I will be praying every moment from now on for lots of sleep and lots of dirty diapers and lots of good strong breathing with no stuffy nose. I was so thrilled when your Daddy said you were beginning to suck on your pacifier Friday morning! I had wondered if you might be close to doing that the night before.

I have to tell you that you have the bravest Daddy and Mommy and sisters I have ever seen. Sometimes you went through such struggles to breathe when you were crying and yet your daddy just patted and rocked you, telling us that he was just trusting the Lord to calm and settle you. And your mommy, in spite of her own fears and sadness over your discomfort just rocked and loved on you to help you get through the rough spell. You could not have a more wonderful loving family than your parents and siblings. We were so privileged to get to see their faith in action even if for just a short time.

We will keep praying for you every minute. You are a miracle of God and your own strength and spirit are an incredible example to us. You are an amazing precocious little fighter, Darcy Anne and a beautiful, precious baby. We are praying for more miracles for you and for your sweet and faithful parents. Their courage and faith are an example and lesson to us all.

Love,

Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers

Dear Jason & Tracy,

My heart goes out to you and your family. I envy your strength and faith in God. It's amazing how a little girl can affect people's hearts whilst only being with us for a short time. I do not think i can look at my children the same way after your story. I don't think i can complain about anything in my life right now or ever, as they are all nothing compared to what Darcy and your family has gone through. She has touched my heart and my soul and mended my faith.

God works in mysterious ways and we won't understand why all these are happening right now until his work is done. But trust that Darcy will be in my prayers and my family's prayers.

Stay strong with God's help!!!

My heart is aching with you. And I am praying for you and for sweet Darcy Anne. Jesus is with her and He will never leave her nor forsake her....or you. I am so sorry for this pain. He will carry all of you...and is carrying you, even now. When you are too weak, too exhausted, too discouraged to hold on...He will hold on to you. Nothing can separate you from His love...not even this agony.

In His Grace,

Dear beautiful Darcy Anne,


I have had the priviledge to witness your family's journey with your life. It has been an incredible test for them, one they have passed with grace, humility, and beauty. The night you were born, I was at the hospital and I was awestruck by the glorious reception you received from all your brothers, sisters, and mommy and daddy. Truly every second of your life here on earth has been prayed over, watched over, and celebrated. You have shown thousands of families the importance of celebrating our loved ones and being thankful for the gift of life. You are a messenger from heaven, and I pray your memory will continue to prick the hearts of the people around the world who need Jesus. I love you, my sister. I visit your site daily, I love your mommy and daddy with all me heart. They are heroes in this world, and they will run to embrace you one day in heaven, where your sweet little body will be made whole. Your life gives strength and courage to mommies around the world who are faced with babies with your condition. I will miss you precious one, but only for a little while.

Your sister in Christ,
Erin Lichnovsky

Darcy Anne,

Today, you went to be with Jesus. I have never felt such deep agony. Yet I know that all your present and future pain are forever wiped away. For that, I am very grateful.

It is my responsibility as a father to point you to Christ and help seal your eternal destiny. You made it so easy for me because I didn't have to say a word. I can't take any credit for the lives you changed because all that credit belongs to the One who knitted you perfectly inside your mommy's womb. I held you while you crossed over from this life to the next. We witnessed your suffering, dear Darcy. But you left us in a very peaceful way. No wincing or grunting. You just left. It was a bittersweet moment.

I'm not sure what to do when I feel the need to carry you. I know that if I'm not careful, I'll enter the bedroom and head straight for your bassinet. I pray that I will have the strength and wisdom to comfort your mommy and siblings.

I had the most beautiful two weeks of my life, my sweet daughter. I will never be the same.

Thank you, Darcy Anne. I, your mommy, your sisters and brothers look forward to holding you again.

I love you, MY Darcy Anne. Enjoy your new home!

Daddy

Dearest Tracy and Jason,
My heart aches for you guys. I have been checking every day to hear the news of Darcy Anne's condition. I am serenely happy that your little darling did not struggle in her passing, and that you were able to ease her into the loving arms of the Father as you held her in your arms from one loving father to another. What a way to go! My prayers will be with you as you adjust to your loss. Grieve well, cry it out, be mad whatever it takes to bring you that place of peace that you are meant to have through this experience. God understands your pain - do not feel any shame as you experience whatever pain, and reaction to that pain that is meant to be. Go to the bassinet if you need to and remember the precious moments God gave you with her. It takes time . . . give yourself that.

Love,
Judy

Words can not adequately express the depth of my sorrow for your loss. Though I know your sweet angel is in Heaven with our Father right now... no pain, no suffering, the earthy side of me aches for you... knowing that nothing can prepare for you for the loss of a child.

Your journey through the pregnancy, birth, and her weeks here on earth has been a testament of your deep faith and is a blessing to me and many others.


You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless and keep you.

Darcy's story has been such a testimony to so many people. It has been truly amazing to follow along with y'all and see the work that God has done in so many people's lives. Your sweet baby has been such an incredible vessel for change that so many people haven't even come close to in their whole lifetime.

God is the ultimate comforter. He has comforted Darcy and I pray that he will keep your family comforted as well in this time!

Dear Jason and Tracy,

We are so sorry that your time with dear Darcy Anne has come to an end. But we are so glad that she is not struggling anymore and that you do not have to see the suffering she was enduring.

We pray the Lord will fill your heart and mind with the joyful memories of the short life she lived with you. Thank you for letting us share in a part of her story. We will never be the same again nor will anyone else who has heard the testimony of her life and yours.

Love,
Donna, Tim and the kids

Ramos Family,
I'm writing on behalf of Mark and I to share our sorrow with you as Darcy has slipped from your arms into the arms of our Father. What joy there is in knowing she is with out Lord and Savoir right now, yet what sorrow to think about your family's empty arms, and home without sweet Darcy. We are praying for you...for Jason's strenght as he leads your family...for Tracy's heart to be comforted...and for the each sibling of Darcy.... The Lord picked your family for Darcy, for the miracle of her...what a blessing her life was to not only your family but so many people you'll never meet....untill we are all reunited together with the Lord. We are sad that we will not be able to join you at Darcy's service as we are still on vacation at that time. You will be in our hearts and prayers on that day especially!!

Oh Darcy,

Sweet baby girl, I am sad to see you go for the sake of your family but glad for the sake of the suffering that you were going thru.

God is our refuge and our strength and the only thing that we as Christians can do now is to look to Him. We love you.

To the family,

Your testimony is great and should be shouted from the rooftops so that others can see the might and power of our Saviour.

He has done great things and He will continue to do great things in all of our lives.

Take the time to reflect on your sweet girl and know that God brought her to YOU for a reason.

I will keep you all in my prayers.

Tracy - I am so proud to be able to say that I know someone as faithful and strong as you. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Daddy - When you have those moments of going to the bassinet, pray. Your daughter will be with you always in your heart.

Hugs and Kisses to you all.

Sandie

Dearest Tracy, Jason and children,

You'll know we love you and we all know that precious, beautiful darling Darcyanne is in Heaven with Jesus. I can just imagine that HE is rocking her at this very moment. It is so wonderful that we serve an awesome God that is in complete control. I know your sweet lives will never be the same. You'll are a wonderful family! I felt closer and closer to God everytime I read about my little third cousin. Just think, her Grandma, Great-Grandma and Aunt Mozelle are joining her and getting to be with her. I know they are having a wonderful family reunion there. We love you'll and if there is anything in this world we can do, please don't hesitate to call us.


Love Forever,

I love you and I miss you so much. I thank God that He gave me the privilege of holding you in my arms even for a short time. I am happy that I was able to sing my funny lullaby to you. I promise I will sing it to you when we meet again. I hope it won't be too long when I am called to join you because I miss you so much. I would like to see your beautiful tiny pink face again, kiss you and hug you forever. Goodbye for now, my little darling. Till we meet again.

I will love you forever.

Tracey and family....hugs and praryers for you and your family. I know you and your family are celebrating her being in heaven with God right now but I know you are still really hurting not having her here on earth with you all. She was such a Huge, magnificent blessing in her short time her on earth. She touched, and still is touching so many hearts!! I cried for the wonderful family she has, and all that you did with her while you had her here on earth with her. I know you and your family have such a love for God that you will get through this, it will just be a little different "normal" now that you do not have that wonderful angel here on earth with you all. I checked your blog daily or every other day to see how you ALL were doing. If you ever need anything at all.....I am off on sun/wed and live in spring.....please let me know....even if its just a hug or a shoulder to cry on. I lost twins almost 3 yrs ago at birth so I know the loss of the child, but did not have the fortunate experience that you had with time on earth. God has his plans.....we just do not know right now what they are. God Bless you all in this time of sorrow and grieving.

I came across this website through another website I was looking through and cried reading the 'dear diary' entries. I came home everyday after work to see how Darcy was doing and was ecstatic to see that she had lived in your families love another day. When I logged on yesterday and saw that Darcy went home to the Lord I cried like a baby. Your family is truly blessed with such a beautiful daughter. She looks just like the angel she is. God Bless You All!

I am so sad that you are no longer with us, but at the same time I'm so happy that you don't have to suffer anymore. I can only imagine the pain that your mommy, daddy, and siblings are going through. It's comforting to know that you're in the arms of your Heavenly Father. Upon your arrival in Paradise please give your grandma (my mom) and your great grandma (my grandma) a big hug and kiss from me. I love you Darcy Anne.

Dear Ramos family ~

I thought about you all weekend and wondered how Darcy was doing. We were gone camping and I couldn't stop wishing that I had a computer to check in on Darcy.

My heart sunk when I saw that Darcy was gone, yet late yesterday night I had this overwhelming feeling that you were leaving life here on earth and I see now that my intuitions weren't failing me.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Tracy, Jason and family. I know that this is weighing heavy on you all yet lifting the weight off of your hearts knowing that Darcy is pain free and no longer suffering.

She's definitely the STRONGEST little girl ever and I know that she inerited that strength from your amazing family. She was truly a fighter!

I was totally drawn into her and your family! I looked forward daily to see all of your updates, pictures and hear about all of your events. Even throughout your pregnancy, Tracy.

She had the biggest life in her short time ~ You're the most wonderful parents for giving her everything and more in her short time with you.

Many thoughts and prayers are coming your way.

Love and hugs,
Kristie

P.S. I can't wait to meet you in Heaven when it's my time, Darcy!

Ramos Family -

I'm so sorry that your angel Darcy has had to leave your arms. Knowing she is in the arms of God is comforting, but cannot stop your pain. I wish there was something I could say or do to help...please know that your Darcy will never be forgotten, that she will live in the hearts of so many people, that she truly has changed lives, hearts, and minds. She will continue to do her "work" here.

I am so very sorry your time together has come to an end. You did so much to make sure that you lived a lifetime's worth of love in so few days. You are amazing parents and an amazing family. God bless; you will remain in my prayers.

FOR YOU WILL ALL LOVE AND MISS HER ALWAYS. I WILL PRAY THAT GOD WILL SOMEHOW EASE YOUR PAIN AND SEND YOU THE STRENGTH YOU WILL NEED TO TRY TO HEAL YOU BROKEN HEARTS. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. FLY FREE DARCY.

 

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 01:52:26

Darcy,

I woke up thinking I had to clean your feeding equipment. Your mommy also whispered in her sleep something about covering your head and feet to keep you warm. We can't stop thinking about you, Darcy.

I know you are so much better now but we miss you very much. I guess I didn't realize how a tiny person like you could leave such a large hole in our hearts. Letting go will be tough. But I know that if God allowed us to bond with you this deeply, He will provide a way for healing.

His grace is sufficient.

I love you.

Hi Darcy,

You have an amazing family. I am extremely proud to have met your Dad, growing up with him in Philippines in some 20 odd years ago then reconnecting with him again through emails. He's always been someone I look up too and deep respect in those days. Your life was not but short you've created a wave of love through us all. For that thank you hope to meet you someday.

Baby Darcy,

How beautiful you really are! You and your wonderful family have not been far from my thoughts. I check everyday to see how you and your family are doing. I am heartbroken that you had to leave so soon, but what you have accomplished in such a short time is amazing. In a time in my life where I had faltered in my own faith, it took a small child to bring me back home . Thank you, and God bless all of you!

 

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:27:52

It is with sadness that we extend our deep sympathy during this difficult time. We are praying for you both, for the strength to continue and move on and allow time to heal the grief. Darcy has touched your life [as well as ours] in ways only you will always treasure and understand, and for this, there is much to be grateful for...That she came along to bring you hope. That she came along to bring you an infinite capacity to love. That she came along to bring you joy. What a gift from God! She came along for you to make memories, for you to derive warmth and comfort from these memories, and for you to someday find ways to pass it on, as God meant goodness to spread. Such a brief time together with a child who made you care deeply, love unconditionally and probably feel a whole range of emotions humanly possible. Thank you for sharing Darcy with us and may God bless you and your family always.

Matty, Tiny & family

Dear Darcy Anne,
I know your Mommy and Daddy have much to read, but I can't help myself. I guess I just want to express that I am surprised at how much I grieve for what your Mommy and Daddy are feeling. Your Mommy was with me a lot when she was a little girl, so maybe it is the mother coming out in me. I pulled out albums to see the pictures of your Mommy when she was a little girl, to see which of your brothers and sister favor her, and to just try to think of something that I could do to comfort them, but I guess really the only thing I can do is pray, because only our loving Father can heal the loss of our precious children. I have not lost one on this earth, but I have grieved for the loss of nearness and for all the hurts and struggles they have to experience, and I can only imagine what it would be like to have the complete absence of a dear child to never be able, as your mommy says, to hold you, and care for you. It is wonderful to know that you are being cared for by our Almighty Father, but we want to see, we want to touch, we want to feel, we want to hear, and we want to know, and we want to do all we can to make sure all is well with you. It is our instinct and your little place in mommy's heart will never be filled this side of eternity, but only healed and given peace over time by our gracious Father. As Mommy says, it causes us to grow closer to our Father, because what else can we do to ease the pain of our children's absence. I continue to pray for your mommy and daddy that God is holding them tightly in the comfort of His loving hands and giving them strength to carry on. I know he is . . . mothers just want to know. Dear Jesus/God fill that void til they can see and hug their little girl once more.

Love you,
Judy

Dear Darcy,

Words can't say enough how much you are and will be missed. You've touched so many lives in your short two weeks here on earth - more than many people will in their entire lives. Your going is bitter-sweet. I'm glad you are no long struggling and in pain, but you've left a hole in so many lives, especially in the lives and hearts of your wonderful and loving family. We all keep going in the quiet assurance that you are in heaven even now, looking down on all the goings-on. Your new heavenly body is perfect and pain free. And you know, as we do, that in the days to come, you will be there to greet and welcome those who will eventually follow you to heaven. But for now, Darcy, you are greatly missed and we are sorry you had to leave us all so quickly.

With Much Love,

The Amundsons

 

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 20:03:24

Dary Ann, I held your tiny hand when your mother brought you to my daughter's house on your way home from the hospital. You are a beautiful baby, and one day I will meet you again in Heaven.
May God's angels play with you, and keep you until your mommy and daddy come to see you, and can hold you once again.
My heart breaks for your parents at their loss of you. Thank you, Darcy, for the time that you did spend with them. I thank God for the precious days He gave them to spend with you. We will meet again, little one. Heaven is looking better every day with some really special people who are waiting for our arrival there..
Linda Sedlak, Cece Amundson's mother.

Dearest Jason, Tracy, and kids,

Thank you for sharing Darcy Anne's journey with us. She will always be my reminder of the celebration of life. In this day and age where everything has to be quick, easy, and convenient, Darcy reminds me what true love, endurance, sacrifice, struggle for life all means.

I admire all of you for your courage, strength, humility, and unconditional love you have for each other.

I share your grief for Darcy Anne, my heartfelt condolences to you all.

Love, Sara

Jason & Tracy,
I just wanted to let you both know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Darcy was a beautiful little girl and touched so many lives in such a short time. It was a privilege to be her hospice nurse, thank you for allowing me to share in the care of your precious child. There is a poem I have that was written by another mother at the loss of her baby that is so sweet I thought I would share it with you:

How very softly you tiptoed into my world
Almost silently,
only a moment you stayed.
But what an imprint your footsteps left upon my heart.

You both gave such loving care to Darcy, she was very lucky to have you for parents. Take care and know that God's grace will be with you until you see her again.

Kristie C.

 

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:14:10

Tracy & family,
I just wanted you to know that I will be thinking of you and praying for you and Darcy and will take a moment at 10 am to reflect on Darcy and say a prayer for her on thurs .

God bless each of you,

In Honor of little Darcy's life

God’s Lent Child

“I’ll lend you for a little while
a child of mine” God said –
For you to love the while she lives
and mourn for when she’s dead.
It may be six or seven years
or forty, two, or three
but will you, till I call her back,
take care of her for me?

She’ll bring her charms to gladden you
and, should her stay be brief,
you’ll have her nicest memories
as solace for her grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
since all from earth return
but, there are lessons taught below,
I want this child to learn.

I’ve looked the whole world over,
in my search for teachers true,
and from the things that crowd life’s lane
I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love,
nor think the labor vain,
nor hate me when I come to take
this lent child back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
“Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done”
for all the joys thy child will bring
the risk of grief will run.
We’ll shelter her with tenderness,
we’ll love her while we may,
and for the happiness we’ve known,
forever grateful stay.
But, should thy Angels call for her
much sooner than we planned,
we’ll brave the grief that comes
and try to understand.

~~~~~~~~

We at CS love you Darcy, Tracy, and family. We are here for you.

Tracy & Jason,

Today was so beautiful. I wasnt sure if I was going to make it through the whole service but i did. Grant helped me alot. His little arms wrapped around me are the reminder that I must go on. He hates to see me cry.

Darcy looked so pretty! Thank God for His miracles. Everything was perfect. A tribute fit for a queen! Thank you for letting me and my family be a part of this with you. Trevan said at lunch "WHY do we have the coolest church in the whole world?" kind of half joking and I said "Cause God is kewl that way man!" LOL
Its so true. You are so loved.

Dear Tracy and Jason,

I watched Darcy's slideshow today, and wanted to tell you how beautiful I thought it was. I cannot express enough to you how much she has changed my life and I don't even know you personally.

What a beautiful little angel she is.
My heart breaks for your family, and how much I want for her to be here on earth with you. I have so much admiration of your family's strength, love and support that you have for one another.

Your faith in God is very inspiring and very uplifting.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of your special little girl, and I wanted you to know how much you are in my family's thoughts and prayers.

Dearest little Darcy Anne,
I saw your Mommy and Daddy tonight at Home Depot. I saw that you had finally arrived as your Mommy was walking and not riding in the cart as she was quite often while she was carrying you ( I thought for awhile they actually lived in the back of the store they were there so often!) I asked where you were, I did not know about your condition before then. Your Mommy and Daddy told me you were gone to Heaven. I was really sorry to hear that but your Daddy gave me your website address so here I am. I am glad you gave your family some extra time to get to know you, you're an awesome little one! Keep watch over them, Darcy. You have a wonderful family little one, you are as blessed to have them as they are to have you. Thank you for inviting me to see your amazing life.

The tribute to Darcy was beautiful and the video was so wonderful also. I wish I could have been with you'll---we were in Spirit and we have been praying for you'll everyday. We love you'll and are so thankful that you are Christians and know you will see Darcy again someday. The Lord knows when! We serve an awesome God! Tracy, I will call you soon.


All our love,

I just watched the video that y'all made to play at her funeral and I want you to know how beautiful it was and how much it touched me. As I sit here with tears burning a trail down my cheeks I can't help but also smile... a smile for all the love in your family. Darcy was so wanted, so loved, and so cherished. Her life, though short it may be here on earth, has touched SO many and your entire journey will never be forgotten.

May God wrap you all in his loving arms and fill your hearts with a peace that passes understanding.

We'll see you in Heaven one day Darcy!

Much love, thoughts, and prayers...

Dear Tracy,

Your anger is normal. The protective anger you feel against anyone who did not treasure or understand the great value of Darcy Anne's life...like the family member you mentioned is so normal...and so familiar to me. When my twins daughters were stillborn, I was so angry and hurt with the comments from family members who hadn't supported us during our pregnancy or after the loss. It amazed me that they could be so insensitive and hurtful. I wonder if part of our anger comes from the fact that we feel helpless that we couldn't protect our babies from what they faced on this Earth, and we want to proctect them from the people who hurt us and didn't love them the way they should. Anger is just a natural part of grief.

And...as for your relationship with your husband. What you both have endured did, is, and will put a great strain on your marriage. Cling to God's Word and His promises, and cling to each other. Pray for strength and unity. The loss of a child and the terrible grief often tears families apart. Protect yourselves from this. You need each other. Remember that men and women grieve differently and it's easy to misunderstand and get hurt by the way your spouse may choose to grieve. He may get silent and distant or even lash out in anger. You may do the same...or you may have different needs. Respect each other's need to grieve differently...and don't let anything come between you. Pray for the love and grace to forgive one another and do not let a "root of bitterness" spring up between you. And rest in the truth that God will carry you both through this. When you are too weak, too broken, too angry, to hold on, He will carry you...

Praying for your family,
Kelly Gerken

Please get mad Tracy--it is something that you have to go through to get to the sad part of grief. Punch the heavy bag, go to the car and scream as much as you want, walk or run until you feel your legs will fall off. AIl of your emotions have to go somewhere--please let it out. God will always be there no matter how you may be frustrated because it is difficult to understand why these things happen. I will never pretend to know what you are going through. I cannot imagine the anguish of losing a child. Please keep writing and sharing with others and venting about how you feel. I love you and pray that although there may be worse days ahead that eventually the days become a bit easier to go through. Just one day at a time.

 

Laurie

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 20:41:11

My heart continues to ache for your family. Words can not begin to help diminish the pain you are going through. You will find strength from each other. I too lost a child but not in the same sense you did. I was only 3 months pregnant. They did know that the baby was a boy. At the time I already had a 2 year old son. He named the baby Nicholas. He is now 8 and still talks about his brother in heaven at times. While I was pregnant with Nick my husband and I were also having some difficulties within our marriage. When I lost the baby I was absolutly devastated. My husband became my rock putting his grief aside for me. I feel that Nicholas helped save our marriage. Rejoice in the joy of your husband and other children and LIVE. Live a life Darcy would want you to live. I can't imagine what your going through I know it will get easier with time. But embracing the love that you and everyone else had for her and spreading that wonderful news will help Darcy live forever within everyones heart. My heart and prayers go out to you. MAy God lay his hand upon you shoulder during this difficult time.

God Bless!

Tracy,
Anger is one of the steps of grief. I am going to look for the little booklet called "Good Grief" for you. It talks about the seven (I believe) steps of grief. Each person goes through each of the sevens steps, but the order, length, and intensivity of each step is uniquely different to each individual.
A dear friend gave me a copy when my dad passed away. It truely helpped as you learn to recognize each step as you come to it.
I know there is nothing I can say or do for you and Jason and the rest of your family to make anything easiier, but I can and do pray for you. May you each know the peace and comfort that can only come from our Heavenly Father!!!

Hi Tracy:

I have not been online much as my Mom had a second surgery and was near death last week.

I have been praying for you and your entire family. I love you all so much.

Jesus have mercy on this blessed family and comfort them. May they always feel God's Love wrapped gently around their hearts.

Please join the bereavement forum at HAIN! You can learn about the other babies who are in heaven with Darcy Anne and are her playmates and friends!

I love you! E-mail me and I'll give you my phone number!

Hello, Darcy.

I dread my nights. I couldn't sleep last night because I couldn't get my mind off memories of you and me. Your video keeps playing over and over again in my mind. It's 1 am and it looks like tonight seems to be headed there, too.

I'll keep trying. Gotta go to work tomorrow. Not sure how long I can keep this up.

I love and miss you.

Dear Darcy,
As always, we shine the light on the dark part of our heart and demand that we hold it up to the Light of the Lord. You continue to minister, exhort, teach and lead us, now from heaven, instead of earth. God is so glorified in your service, however short, on earth, because your parents gave EVERY MOMENT of your life to Him. You are blessed and we are blessed for knowing them...and knowing you. Can't wait to see you and the other saints and rejoice with you over your work that continues here on earth.

I am so sad that your family and friends don't get to see, touch, and take care of you anymore. They all seem like very special people who love you so much!

I believe you are enjoying being in Heaven with Jesus. I am looking forward to meeting you there someday.

Hi Darcy

The other day it was snowing at our house! I was so surprised! I was hoping it was going to snow this year! But when it snowed Wednsday afternoon, I wasn't happy .. I was sadder that day when it did. I went outside and looked up in the sky and felt all of these snowflakes falling on my face.. and it didn't make me any happier. I really wanted you to experience snow with me. And I felt the cold flakes on my skin, and I was really dissapointed cause it didn't come when you were here.. I really need you and i don't know what to do when Christmas comes. I wanted you to be here on Christmas so you could see all the lights with us, drink hot cocoa, open presents, sit around the Christmas Tree, and sing! I bet your doing all that in Heaven. I really miss you DarcyAnne.. I love you. Merry Christmas.

~your sister bella

 

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 20:51:11

Hello, my sweet baby.

Merry CHRISTmas! We miss you so much that we couldn't help but choke up when the Mallie and the boys get excited about their gifts.

I also couldn't help but think of how things could be if you were here with us. I can imagine holding you while the kids opened their presents. You would be three months old, Darcy. You would probably be old enough to lie on the floor and watch your siblings do their thing.

We got a bunch of presents from Project Hope in your behalf. We were moved to tears to see how much you and your family are loved by these wonderful people.

I love you my dear daughter. I miss you so much and still ache at the thought of your absence. Can't wait to see you again.

Daddy

Dear Darcy Anne Ramos,

Merry Christmas darling angel, I really was hoping for a great year and everything was great expecially when I heard that mommy was having a baby! But then when I heard that you had Trisomy 18 I was confused and hoping the doctors were wrong. Darcy I really wanted you here for Christmas , let me tell you, I was crying on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The hospice nurse said that you could of lived for 5 more months so I was so exited that you would make it to Christmas... but you didn't. These sweet people brought over gifts on your behalf and I was really touched. I love you Baby Sister. I miss you dearly.

Your website mom made for you is beautiful. It even seems that your still right by my side when I read and write to you. I love you so much. When I heard that mom was writing a book about you, I was thrilled! But then I realized that your website had to be shut down.

Hi sweet Darcy,
I heard this song, and I thought it was perfect.

...
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la

You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from Heaven
You'd hold me close in your arms
I loved the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holding me

I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once and a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go, and I need you to know
I miss you, sha-la la la la, I miss you

You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm livin' out my dream
Oh how I wish you could see
Everything that's happening for me
I'm thinking back on the past
It's true that time is flying by too fast

I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still she'd a tear every once and a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go, and I need you to know
I miss you, sha-la la la la, I miss you

I know you're in a better place,
But I wish that I could see your face
I know you are where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me

I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still she'd a tear every once and a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go, and I need you to know
I miss you, sha-la la la la

I miss you, I miss your smile
And I still she'd a tear every once and a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go, and I need you to know
I miss you, sha-la la la la, I miss you




I love you Sweet baby girl. I miss you so much.

This not the end, but the beginning for someone; someone to get closer to God, someone who has never known what he is capable of doing. Through this site many has come to know our creator is merciful and great and he endureth forever.

Thanks Ramos family for allowing us to come in and be a part of your family through out your journey; thanks for allowing us to also fall in love with Darcy Anne; but God loved her just as much.

Thanks to all who shared in the life of Darcy Anne while she was yet still here in the loving arms of her family, friends and spiritual family and now she’s resting in the bosom of our Heavenly Father.

May God bless all of you!

Amen

Tracey~
I came upon your website a bit by accident and am still overwhelmed by your story, your faith and mostly your sweet Darcy! I am a single mother of two, both healthy. For many reasons I have not made us part of a church family. I plan to find one soon-- Thanks Tracey & Darcy for inspiration.

My husband (Chris) & I had the priveleged of seeing my cousin, Jason and his adorable wife Tracy over the weekend after so many year, back when we were little kids in the Phillipines. We found out about Darcy and was so touched by her story. I feel blessed knowing that my cousin and his family have a very deep connection to God and very devoted to their children. I look forward in seeing you guys again and the whole family. Your family will be forever part of my prayers. We are so proud of being part of your family. My God forever bless your family and I will see you soon.
Your cousins,
Chris & Teresa

Hi Sweet Baby Darcy Anne:

This is your 1st birthday and you are spending it with Jesus in heaven. Happy 1st Birthday, sweetheart!

Oh, how my heart goes out to your loving Mommy and Daddy and your siblings. They long to see your face, to hold you, to smell your sweetness, to look into your beautiful eyes and hold you in a long everlasting embrace.

Darcy, you are in heaven with your Grandma and many other loved ones who went to live with Jesus before you.

When my Mom died in July, she said that Jesus kept bringing her babies and she held her arm up like she was holding a child. I have a feeling in my heart that you were one of those babies because my Mom loved you and your family so much and prayed unceasingly. My Mom understood the agony of having a child born that doctors did not have hope for.

Yet the doctors see only with the eyes of men, not the eyes of faith and God's eyes. You are world's little missionary and already have the greatest hope, the life we as Christians want to be with Jesus.

May your heavenly family celebrate your 1st birthday with you today sweet precious baby girl and hug you for all of us who miss you so much.

I will forever be loving you and your family, sweet Darcy Anne. Please blow us all kisses from heaven today to give us some of your heavenly joy. I blow you a kiss every night. Please Darcy, hug Catelyn for me.

Love, Hugs and Prayers-
"Ant" Mary Cate

Dear Darcy Anne,
I am praying that God in his mercy and grace are holding your Mommy, Daddy, and brothers and sisters in his loving arms, knowing that you care more than they can even comprehend,and that they know it is OK whatever they are feeling. It is part of the human condition and thus you gave us your love to hold them together when they feel like they are falling apart.. Please be very near and dear to them right now, and in the days to come.

Dear Darcy,

I thank God that you gave your family such sweet memories. You are a beautiful little girl. Say hello to my little grandson Elijah. He went to be with Jesus on May 17. His mommy and daddy only got to spend time with him after he had gone. We miss him very much. Your middle name is just like his big sister's. Anne with an e.

Oops, Darcy! You must be laughing at me from your place in Heaven! I thought someone said you were having a baby sister, but instead God blessed your family with a precious little baby BOY! He already looks like a Ramos, so adorable!

Congratulations on your baby brother!

Darcy: My Heather went to be with Jesus after a very complicated condition called "Triploidy" She was born February 3, 1989. She would have been 21 this next February 3, 2010. I know she is a big sister to you now. I also know that someday I will meet you both in paradise along with our Jesus. Thank you for giving my Heather yet another little angel to hang with. From my heart...... Cheryl, a mother who knows all too well the sorrow of giving a precious child to our Lord earlier than anticipated.

Dear Family of Darcy Anne,

In 1994, I was pregnant with Victoria, and found out that only an experimental surgery might save her. I traveled to Detroit and had the surgery, which was successful, but her heart damage was too severe and she died anyway.

The surgery taught them some things to help other babies, and I have never regretted all we did to try to save her.

I remember after she died, lying in a hospital bed alone, they had moved the call button away and I could not reach it, and I was ill and needed help and could not call. All I could think of was how the Father Himself knows what it means to lose a child, and was with me always.

May our Heavenly Father bring you comfort and joy of knowing He is with you always as we approach the holiday season and through the years.

Hugs,
Jackie

Dear Darcy and family,

I continue to be touched so deeply by your story of hope and love. I visit this website and it moves me to tears every time. I bet Darcy is so proud now to be a big sister...I was overjoyed for all of you. God bless, and know that Darcy and her very special family continues to be in the thoughts, hearts, and prayers of many people.

Hello, baby girl.

It's been almost a year and a half since you were with us. I often imagine you running around the house as a little toddler. It's a sweet scene.

Your mom just talked with some folks on the radio. Seems God is using her through your story to help people heal and fight for the lives of the innocent unborn babies who are killed by the thousands every week. They don't get to experience life like you did. You'll be so proud of her.

I love you and miss you.

Daddy

Hello Darcy,
I just met your mommy and already I think she is an amazing lady. You are a very lucky girl to have so many people watching over you and loving you. I too have a baby girl who received her wings and was born into heaven...watch over us and keep your family and mine safe!!

Love,
Sheila

Darcy-

I just wanted your mommy to know that I am reading her book. I have been looking for a better relationship with God and it has been a hard road but things are finally coming together for me. Since reading your book, I am filled with faith and courage. To know that someone (your mom) can keep faith and have courage during such a hard time means that I certainly can too, not facing anything close to what your family went through. You have also helped me clear my opinions about the choice of life, and as a healthcare provider, that means my feelings may just matter to someone else's baby too. Thank you for the renewed spirit you have given me Ramos Family!

Darcy,

I was once told by a Spiritualist that my daughter Taylor greeted all the babies entering Heaven and that she watched over and played with them. I hope she was there to greet you and play with you. I feel honored to have heard the wonderful story of your being. You are a very special little girl.

Love,
Jennifer

I haven't wrote you in a while... But, I miss you a lot.

I think Brooklyn dreams about you when he sleeps because he smiles......

Love you SO much,
