Remembering "Kayla"
"This short story below was given to me by my friend, Janice, who had the blessing of her beautiful Grand-daughter "Kayla" if even for a short time. I invited her to share her story with you with the hopes that you will understand that our time together is a gift . Kayla brought much happiness to her family and Janice here tells us how precious "family" time is.
My thanks to Janice for letting us share now in such a private and painful time in her life. The loss of her precious little "Kayla". |

"Janice's Story of Kayla"
I have lost 2 grandchildren, I lost Shane at birth , he was
my daughter Doreens' son , there was a medical problem during the
pregnancy that the doctor "missed" and it cost Doreen her son and we
almost lost Doreen as a result also. This was in September of 1992 , and
since Doreen has had 3 girls .... all sweeties and special in their own
way...
I lost my husband of 26 years on August 11,1998, after a
long illness with heart and vascular problems. I thought my I would
never meet anyone again in my life. But as some of you know , I found
Don "Brindlepitt" and this man has shown me what love and life can
really be. This was in July of 2000. I have a wonderful relationship
with him and thank God for sending him to me.
Then on November 2nd,2000, I had the phone call telling me
that Kayla was struck by a vehicle and they were transporting her, then
I was called and said NO they were going to take her to our local
hospital. I had had total hip replacement on October 2nd, and was not
able to get around right or drive yet,SO I waited near the phone and
also watched as the ambulance that Kayla was in passed my house on the
lower road. Then about a half hour later , the phone rang , and I lost
another part of my heart as I heard Tim (Kaylas Dad) say "Nan, she
didn't make it" ..... these are the worse words for anyone to ever have
to hear. My 7 year old granddaughter was gone within one hour. Don and
my sister and friends like Amanda , Evie,Paulette, Carol ,Janice, Doll,
and many others came to my aid , to help me through what seemed to be an
unthinkable thing .... My daughter had to bury her "babygirl" and there
was nothing I could do as a Mother except to hug her and tell her how
much I loved her and how sorry she had to feel such pain.
Don in turn held me and said things that I needed to hear and he was
beside me as I said my "goodbye" to my granddaughter. If it wouldn't
have been for Don and my friends and Family, I would have never gotten
through this.
So this is about all I have to say ... PLEASE treasurer
every moment that you have with your children and grandchildren and give
them a hug and don't be ashamed to tell them how much you love them.
Because once you lose them , you can never hold them again and kiss
their little faces.... Family is the most important thing there is on
the planet earth ... without family you have NOTHING .... I hope that
no-one ever feels the pain I have felt , not once but twice in my life
time , but I do know that others have and I can say I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
, and mean it....
May God bless and keep you and your family
safe...Janice
