Today was Dakota's funeral and although I had never met this little angel, it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. To see such a tiny little casket surrounded by flowers and stuffed animals he would never get to cuddle with was beyond heart wrenching.
The hardest moment for me was listening to Tara cry. I know that although every person felt her pain in that moment, it was every parent who truly felt it to the center of their own soul. I can never forget the pain I heard or saw on her face. And I pray that I never have to see someone endure that again.
Tara's family and friends were there for her today and watching them support her amidst their own grief was very touching. I am so thankful that she had people there who loved and cared for her and will help her through these next days, weeks and months.
If tears were a measure of how much one baby means in this world then Dakota is definitely most treasured.
So far we have raised $177.61!!
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far!
Please remember..even $1 helps
cover medical bills and funeral costs.
I really love you all!
Very Teary xoxo's

My prayers go out to the family of Dakota. I cannot even begin to imagine going through this experience! Just hearing your description brought tears to my eyes!
YOU ROCK!
MGM - Thank you for your prayers. I know they need them right now.
Anon - LOL. Well, thanks :-)
I can't imagine how she must feel. I hope I never have to go to a child's funeral-no parent should have to bury their child. It just breaks my heart; I will continue to pray for them.
Jesse - Thank you :-)
What a very, very sad thing. I can't even imagine.
A.B. - Agree. It was heartbreaking. Thank you for stopping by.
My heart and prayers go out to Dakota's parents. I know their grief, as my daughter Angela was born in 1999 and died shortly after birth. It is without a doubt the hardest thing, to lose a child, to have to say goodbye to a baby that you barely get to know. I'm glad they are surronded by family and friends who will help them get through this heartbreaking time. Many prayers. Sassy xo
Sassy - *hugs* I am so, so sorry. But thank you for sharing that with us and for your prayers.
