Meme' Holding Trent After a Bath
To Judie / Heidi Christiansen (Benn C's sisterinlaw ) I am so sorry for your loss in both the loss of not only your son but the loss of seeing your grandson grow up. I guess I don't know the circumstances but when I sit and look at your pictures of how much Trent looks like his father my heart breaks for you. I would never want my daughter to grow up without her grandparents. That is what gets my in-laws through the long days without their own son is their grandchild. There is nothing like the smile and the laughter that they provide to make your day. I can only hope that whatever is going on that Trent will be brought back into your life.
Happy birthday to Trent and Craig!
A Letter From My Heart
I have had so many people tell me they don’t understand What could make someone keep us from seeing our deceased son’s child I have no answer for that…… I know that no person is perfect and certainly I am far from perfect. However, I can stand before God sure and very certain of one thing… I loved my son, Craig with all my heart and he loved me & all of our family. Anyone who knows any of us can never deny that! And everyone who even knew us remotely knows how much we loved Craig & Lisa’s baby boy, Trent. I was the best grandmother I could be and love that child with all my heart! After Craig died….I can’t tell you the pain I experienced. It is every parent’s worse thought…..there is no getting “over it” ..no amount of time that can “heal” … no religious cliché’ that can make you understand. It was such a comfort to be able to hold Craig's son and watch him grow. If you have never lost a child there is no way you can understand…..but if you have a child and you try to imagine him or her suddenly being taken from you by death….. …only then can you even ‘begin” to understand how we feel. Nothing I could have ever done deserves this ….nothing! To my friends on Angel families…I know you all understand… To our family & friends …you saw for yourselves how much we cared about Craig & Trent…..I have no doubt about that. And to anyone who can honestly believe there is any “justification” for keeping us from seeing Trent….all I can say is think long and hard about how you would feel in the same situation…I pray you never are! If you need help remembering how much we cared about them...take a good look at the pictures on this site...we could not have loved them more!!! I have had a lot of losses in this life but none that compare to that of my child and grandchild! .. our blood runs through that boy’s veins….Trent’s father is Craig and we will forever be his Meme & Pepe…..and we will never stop praying that we will see Trent again one day…. If I lose "HOPE" then I will have lost everything.

To Judie / Funda Angel Sibel's Mummy (none)
Judie, thank you very much for the beautiful messages you leave on Sibel's site.
I feel so very sad for you with the loss of both your lovely Son & void where your Grandson would be.
The Birth Of Trent Our memories of Trent begin when his Mom, Lisa, was first pregnant with Trent. She lived with us throughout her pregnancy and stayed with us until months after Trent was born. Oh what a celebration when Trent came on the scene...!! Trent's dad, our son Craig, loved that he had a "Son". He and Lisa had chosen the name "Trent" long before he was even conceived. I, along with Lisa's Mom, Mary-Eli, had the indescribable pleasure of being in the delivery room throughout the labor and delivery. What a joy to have been a witness to the birth of my very first grandchild! The doctor asked if I wanted to cut the umbilical cord and I jumped at the opportunity! Our entire family sat in the waiting room for this blessed event. We were all anxious to meet Craig and Lisa's little baby boy.....Trent Michael Smart.
"MO MO" Oh Trent, I have so many memories of you. I 'm going to try to write as many as I can so that some day you can read about when your Dad was alive and we were all a huge part of your life! I remember you LOVED Elmo on Sesame Street. You would get all excited when you heard the theme song on TV. and point to the television and say "Mo Mo" It was just so much fun to watch you sing and dance along with Elmo!!!
