Jennifer Lynn's Story
by Wiliam G Stickel
“My heart beat severely changes, Mommy had a very high fever earlier but now her temp is normal, the temperature in here seems to be good. I see light above me brighten now, oh no I see blue hands coming in to touch me, I cannot get away. They’re putting a tube in my throat now, it seems like it has air and it feels pretty good. Now they’re wheeling me down this hallway, wait a minute I hear a voice that sounds familiar is that my Mommy…nooo THAT IS MY DADDY!!!!! He touched my foot, Daddy don’t do that, it tickles, why is he crying? He tells me that Mommy & Daddy will see me soon. Wait, why are they putting these plastic tubes into my belly button, it was good enough, I was finally able to see passed that tube when I was in the womb. I think I hear Gandma, HI!!!!! Why is she crying? Now the doctor is helping her out of the room. Yes I hear that voice again coming, it’s my Daddy again, were is Mommy? Daddy is holding my hands now so I let him know that I do hear him by grabbing onto his fingers. Why is Daddy crying? Oh, he tells me he is crying because he is so happy, I must be very, very cute. Now he is kissing me, oh wow his kisses feel so good and he tells me that he loves me. Oh wait I hear people talking, I think Mommy is on her way. Mommy is here now and she is touching my fingers, but I can’t sqeeze her finger ‘cause she is holding my fingers, Mommy! What? My forehead is getting wet and they are saying a prayer. Please wipe that off, its making me cold? The nurse takes my blanky to wipe the water off, thank you, now make sure I get tucked back in. Mommy is going to hold me now. She is rubbing my head. Mommy I love you and thank you for those great 6 months. I finally get to see you face to face. You did a great job feeding me and being the most wonderful provider of everything I needed, thank you Mommy. Mommy is kissing me now, I love you Mommy. I hear Nanny and Pop, I am so happy a lot of people are here, this is such a beautiful Birth Day. Hey I feel Mommy and Daddy touching my hand and my body, that feels so good. Oh wait why are all my tubes being disconnected, oh well I'm in Daddy's arms now. He is sitting in a rocking chair looking down at me and telling me that Mommy and Daddy both love me and will never forget me but Daddy I am always gonna be with you? Oh well, I will have to tell him some other time. Gandma is holding me now and she is crying, Gandma is saying that she loves me and is kissing me. I love you Gandma. Nanny is holding me now and giving me kisses and is saying that she loves me. I love you too Nanny. Oh wow, I see even more of a bright light, I see everyone now, I am being pulled up to the golden gates of heaven. I love you all and will be with you all the time.
Some of the situations that occured might have been forgotten due to the intense day that we all had that day. But we will always remember that
