Default For all the mommies with angels

I found this and had to share
For all the very special Mums of Angel Babies...


Dear Mr Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear,
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.

I just popped into visit your stores to find a card,
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine,
Except I could not find a card, from a child that lives in heaven.

She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside,
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she's cried.

I thought that if i wrote to you, that you would come to know,
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.

She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight,
She writes poems to honour me, sometimes far into the night.

She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells.
She writes to other greiving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth,
I must find a way to remind her of her wondrous worth.

She needs to be honoured, and be remembered too,
Just as the children of the earth will do.

Thank you Mr Hallmark, I know you'll do your best,
I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest.

Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me,
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

I was given the link to this thread, and was really touched by the poem. When I read that poem it really got me thinking, so I emailed the Hallmark company, and put the poem at the bottom. (By the way, does anyone know who wrote it? I put it as "Author Unknown", but whomever wrote it deserves a lot of credit) Here is what I wrote:

To Whom it may Concern;

Should you not be the person for whom this e-mail is intended, or if you are unable to assist me with my request, please be kind enough to let me know, as well as to forward it to someone who may be able to assist me, should oyu know of anyone who can.

As is shown in the following, we who have had the unfortune to lose a pregnancy, an infant, or a child are mothers, too. Why do you fail to recognize us as well on Mother's Day, or fail to recognize October 15th (Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day) altogether?

You are willing to print sympathy cards, Mother's Day cards, and cards for any thing else you can possibly imagine, so why ignore a whole other market that needs the support, love, and recognition of the general public? Perhaps this is something that you would be willing to consider.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,
M.C.

Here was the reply, less than an hour later:

Dear M.C.,

Thank you so much for sending this email. Although you are right, that
this is not the right email address, I will forward onto to the right one
here at the company. Thanks for the suggestion and the poem. I'll see that
the right person gets it.

Sean Taylor

I'll let you know if I hear anything back!
