You also will see and feel wondrous things. You will grow towards these experiences as a flower grows towards sun. Each one will enrich and teach you. You will also know heartache. Loss and sorrow which I will strive to ease but cannot. When such things happen, my darling baby do not cocoon, thus shutting out world. Rather, let those who love you cry with you and share your pain.

Healing will come, gently on wings of gossamer.

These feelings I express will eventually be familiar to you. You will become a parent yourself and know and cherish and coo. Goodnight, my sweet one.

Goodbye, my baby. What dreams you held in palm of your tiny hand. What destinies. As time began your preparation for life you silently died. Already there was love between us. Now, unbearable sorrow. There will be no journey from womb to Earth. It was heavens that beckoned you. Fly away, my precious, fly away.

On gossamer wings.

5. Create a comfort zone area in room, for cuddling up cozy and reading. Think about using big pillows, plush or inflatable chairs, anything your child might enjoy to sit on and relaxing in. You'll also want to conveniently have some books placed within their arm's reach. You might also want to place some music equipment by that area for them to enjoy. And if there's room, try to add an additional seating space for you to enjoy with them, reading or listening to music with your child, or simply chatting together. If you have a teenager, they'll likely want to have another seating space for you or their friends to use.

6. Together with your child, agree upon a wall paper border that you can use to decorate their room with. This idea can be in addition to or used instead of painting their room. Adding or changing a wall paper border can be a very simple and quick way to change look and feel of your child's room.

7. And... here's an interesting idea my daughter suggested when I asked her for suggestions about decorating a child's room ... ( I simply had to share this intriguing idea with you!) She said, "tell them to get an extra thick room door so you don't hear your kids fighting!"

Can you tell that she shares her room with her sister and something about noise level in their room at times?!

Hmmm... maybe she's got a good idea there after all!
