She was beautiful. Her name was Aliyah. She would have been 5 mos tomorrow. My daughter was at work. She works at 5am. The sitter called and told her Aliyah wasn't breathing, and she should come right away. My daughter and her husband rushed to the hospital. Loyola in Maywood, right outisde of Chicago. It was too late. She was gone. the doctors said it's SIDS. I just can't believe that. She was okay yesterday. She smiled so big all her gums showed. She was an angel. I feel like my heart is ripped out. I just held her. My daughter is hysterical. I had to give her sleeping pills. I am a wreck. All my family was here tonight. She usually wakes from her morning nap, and the sitter said when she checked on her, she wasn't breathing. My oldest son is flying in from Oregon tomorrow. And the one who is in boot camp at Ft Jackson...the Red Cross is sending him home as well. I am numb now. My head is aching. My eyes are burning. I have never had this happen to anyone since my sister. I have never cried so hard....WHY???? she was so little. so happy..so precious..there si no rhyme or reason to anything..Just wanted to tell you all. I'm gone for a while..... I'm so sorry to hear this. You and your family are in my prayers. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I feel like I have been collectively hugged by all of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being here...I am in tears reading all of your words.
It's finally quiet in my house now. Everyone is alseep except me. I can't. I find myself alternating between calm/numb and hysterical crying. Today was better. But, it will hit me again. The last two days I spent in denial. She can't be gone...she's just in the other room. You see, my family is very close, and I would keep Aliyah over night, and she would sleep beside me. I fed her, and laughed with her, and changed her diapers. Sang to her. I kept a dresser drawer of her little clothes for when she came to stay. I think they will stay there for a long, long time. Yesterday, I went to a closet and forgot that I'd already bought her a "Baby's First Christmas" outfit. There it was, hanging on her little hanger. I just lost it. My daughter is just medicated for now. I try not to cry in front of her, but how can anyone possible be strong for this? Today, we bought Aliyah the most beautiful little white dress. So tiny..A little white hat. Baby pearls. I feel like part of my soul has been ripped away. We had her pictures all blown up and laminated. We are going to place them on easels all around the church so everyone can see her beautiful smile. Here she is....my little angel...Aliyah Grace, When she smiled, you could see all of her gums. She smiled at anyone, even strangers. She would laugh and laugh and laugh if you just gave her the slightest grin. Little flirt.. Twins??? And my poor, poor baby...had I ever known that when she was a baby she would be hurting like this, I would have made a deal with the devil himself to spare her this pain. For two days I have been researching SIDS online. I need to know all I can so I will not go crazy. Why are they not studying this more? Thousands of babies every year..and they still are not sure. They can't prevent it. I read about "rebreathing," serotonin, using a pacifier helps....no one knows anything for sure. Thank you for letting me share my granddaughter. Goodnight....

America's political system used to be about the "pursuit of happiness." Now more and more of us want to stop chasing it and have it delivered.

We got the news from the coroner early this morning. I am just now able to type this. She did not die from SIDS. She suffocated. I am so angry and hurt and in shock right now, I don't know what to do with myself. My daughter is a mess. I think we all knew when we kept calling the coroner and they kept telling us they were not finished with the report. We just didn't want to think it was true.
It seems that right after my daughter left for work @ 5am, the babysitter put Aliyah in bed with HER instead of in her crib. Which my daughter specifically told her not to do. Even worse is that the sitter and her uncle KNEW and hid it. Just when you think you may be able to heal a little...this. She didn't have to go...she didn't have to go...I so want to feel empathy for the sitter. Because I know if I was watching someone's child and something like this happened, I would probably jump off the nearest tall building....but I just can't right now. I'm too angry and hurt. I'm watching my daughter cry and hurt and suffer, and all I can feel is anger. It may have been an accident, but they KNEW for Christ's sake...they KNEW...and they covered it up. Three adults in the house, and they knew and covered it up. How could they??? This is too much.... "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |
