Hi, thanks for leaving a message on my angel Tia's gonetoosoon site. I cant believe how similar our stories are. I cried my eyes out whilst reading your story about Joel, what a lovely little boy. I know how hard it is watching them slip away and there is no pain like it. Feel free to message me if you ever want to chat, lots of love to you and all of your family but especially little Joel. xxxxxx

Your Joel is just beautiful and my heart aches for you. CDH is such an ugly thing.
Thank you for sharing your story and helping raise CDH awareness.

I came across your site from the Parker Singletary website. I just added our daughter to that site. I am still trying to get her website added. It is coming up on her 2nd birthday on May 1st. This is always such a hard time for us. Thanks for sharing your story with me. God bless your family.

Precious baby Joel
we all miss you so so much and wish you were here with us today to celebrate your second birthday.
Celebration poem by Gail Fasolo
This day will be a celebration
of the short time you were here
You will always be remembered
With great love and sometimes tears
But only to feel pain and sorrow
would not be fair to you
your life meant so much more to me
more than I ever knew
you were here so briefly
I wonder if you knew
all the ways you've touched my world
since the day god called you home
now my child your an angel
with your heavenly father above
I see not only what I've lost
but my capacity of love
there will always be a big void
my soul will grieve forever
will I forget or stop loving you?
no not now not EVER
as this sad day is upon me
oh how my heart still hurts
but even as I mourn your death
I celebrate your birth
written by Gail Fasolo
we all love you so so much little boy
HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY
Lots of Love

Joel is so beautiful, my baby brayden (name means brave) also passed away due to CDH, he had his operation to repair his hernia and was doing most of his own breathing after but then he caught pneumonia and his little body couldnt take anymore. I hope they are playing together in heaven holding each others hands. They are both so strong and brave.

Joel is a lucky little boy to have such a loving and brave family. I am sure you will all share many cuddles again one day. We lost our tiny daughter Amy to CDH so Joel's website and your story on the Cherubs website have been a comfort thank you. I wish your family all the very best of everything for the future.
Nov 14 2007 05:58 am
I can hardly see what I am typing through my tears. This website is so very moving and beautiful and a very fitting tribute to such a gorgeous little cherub. Joel is one of God's special ones- -never grew old and wrinkly--just went straight to heaven. You will see him one day, fit, strong and handosme and you will know each other. How it will be I can't tell, weshouldn't try to imagine it with our finite minds, but it will be so, of that I am certain. Put your trust in jesus.
love and blessings

What a beautiful boy and a gorgeous tribute. I saw the web address on your email and it has moved me to tears.
My little boy had CDH too but was one of the lucky ones. I'm so sorry for your loss. Kate Langford

I stumbled upon your page and am touched by your story. It is a beautiful way to share and show your love for you son Joel. I am sorry for your loss.
Oct 2 2007 01:47 am
Wow this memorial page is beautiful what a great way to remeber your little fella and Thankyou for sharing your Angels story. Its nice to find someone who understand about chd and the devastating affects of this terrible defect, although i wish we hadnt met trhough the circumstances. Hopefuly one day they will understand what causes it. Im hoping to do a sponsered parachute jump soon to raise money for babies with cdh and if it helps at least one other family go through what we have that will make the jump worth while. Joel is beautiful and is now a beautiful angel i bet his proudly watching over you your such an ispiration . i hope Joels havign lots of fun in heaven causing mischief like little boys do, digging up worms and playing cars with my angel Nathan. sending thoughts and prayrs for you and your family Always here if u ever want to talk hugs to you all Hayley x

I have just read your story on the Fnnu Blog spot. I think I can safely say I too have walked in your shoes. Our stories are quite similar although we were very lucky to have had Georgia for 26 days. Its been 7 years since she died this October 13th. The Neo Natal Unit was her only home which is why I think there is such a bond to the unit and the staff. Its still early days for you and id like to say that things get easier but im not sure they do. They say time heals but I think it just changes your perception of things. You plod along with life because you have to but you know you have been blessed to have been touched by an angel.7 years on and I can now smile at memories of such a short life and I am so prouud that Georgia was our baby and was priveledged to be her mummy.
