A Song for Daniel, Stillborn by Jean Felice Eilbert (his mother)
When I held you in my arms that day Born so still, born anyway How was I to know to say goodbye? No one knew just what to do Except tell me I'd get over you As if forgetting makes it all untrue -- a lie
But I remember to remember I can't forget just to forget Your memories are a part of me Connecting me to what comes next.
And even after all this while I think of you, sometimes I smile Memories of my unknown child, fade slow. I've held you in my heart each day Life so short, life anyway Memories are meant to say hello.

Toy Drive 2010
Every year, I donate a Teddy Bear in memory of my babybear.
Making my way through life with an angel on my shoulder and another one by my side. Follow me (and my dog) as I stumble through my new normal after the deaths of my daughter and husband.

What a beautiful bear and such a sweet tribute to your baby girl. I'm sure the receiver will feel that special love. ((HUGS))
That's a great idea.
What a great way to remember your sweet girl. That bear will make some other little girl so happy! (wish it was YOUR girl though...)
I think that is a wonderful and touching and positive way to honor your daughter.
