Our Precious Angel was cherished on earth for 33 days and is cherished in Heaven for eternity.

Thank you Lord for choosing me to be her Mommy

Our story began in March 2004 when the word HOLOPROSENCEPHALY entered our world. During a routine ultrasound with our first pregnancy we were told that our baby girl had a severe condition called Alobar HPE, and that she would be "incompatible with life". Natalia Emmanuelle Nothstine was born on July 21, 2004 and lived for 1 month. She had an adorable single nostril nose, microcephaly, and close set eyes that she never could open. Her little head was full with beautiful dark brown hair, and her fingers were so long and graceful. She made the most precious noises, not a typical infant cry, but more like a soft wimper that was so soothing to our ears. I fed her with a feeding tube through her mouth and felt proud to watch her get her few rolls and chubbies. We loved her so much. We knew that Natalia was the baby that we had prayed for and that she was the one that we wanted. And so as my mind recalls the statement that one Perinatologist had made, "incompatible with life", I can't help but smile and shake my head. Our Natalia is so very much alive. Her life on earth was a great blessing, she touch so many hearts and left an impression on so many lives that we can feel proud. Our hearts are very heavy and sorrow comes because we miss her so dearly, but the greatest pain comes with the thought of never having her at all. I thank God for the 33 days that we had her and thank Him for giving us the grace that we needed to enjoy and cherish her. Thank you and may the Lord bless you and your angels. Love, Nicole Nothstine

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett

"Happy Birthday Natalia"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?

Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.

Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.

The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.

No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Daughter of yours.

A Special Child - by Edna Massionilla

A meeting was held quite far from earth,
Time again for another birth,
Said the Angels to the Lord above
This special child will need a lot of love.

Their progress may be very slow
Accomplishments they may not show
And they'll require special care
From the folks they'll meet way down there .

They may not run or laugh or play
Their thoughts my seem so far away
In many ways they won't adapt
And they'll be known as Handicapped.

So let’s be careful where they're sent
We want their life to be content,
Please Lord find the Parents who
Will do this special job for you.

They will not realise straight away,
The leading role they'll have to play
But with this child sent from up above
Comes stronger faith and richer love.

And soon they'll know the privilege given
In caring for this Gift from Heaven.
This precious child so meek and mild
Is Heaven’s Very Special Child XX

Little Angel - by Unknown Author

God sent an Angel to the Earth...
The sweetest Angel too
And for such a tiny little thing,
She had so much to do.

She knew she did not have
Much time upon this earth to stay,
So she did not waste a second;
She got started right away.

Her eyes were bright and sparkly,
She took in every turn.
She did not miss a single thing,
Because Angel came to learn!

God sent her here to touch the
Hearts of those he could not reach...
She taught them courage, strength and faith,
Because Angel came to teach.

Her tiny little body
Was so full of God above,
You felt it when you held her,
Because Natalia came to love.

In a few short months she managed
What many never will.
When she went home to Jesus,
Her purpose was fulfilled.

She learned and taught, loved and played,
She learned his lessons well.
I know he was so proud of her
When she went home to dwell.

But when I miss her OH-SO-MUCH,
I can almost hear God say,
Please understand, her work was done...
Natalia did not come to stay.

TINY ANGELS


I am a tiny angel

I'm smaller than your thumb

I live in people's pockets

That's were I have my fun



I don't suppose you've seen me

I'm too tiny to detect

Though I'm with you all the time

I doubt we've ever met



Before I was an angel

I was a fairy in a flower

God Himself, hand picked me

and gave me angel power



Now God has many angels

That he trains in Angel Pools

We become his eyes, his ears and hands

We become his special tools



And because God is so busy

with way too much to do

He said that my assignment

is too keep close watch on you



When he tucked me in your pocket

He blessed you with angel care

Then told me to never leave you

And I vowed always to be there

What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.

Little Children

God's Little Ones

God makes little children
He makes them every day
And though He loves them dearly
He gives them all away.

He gives each to an angel
And says take baby down
To such and such a mother
In such and such a town.

Or such and such a cottage
In such and such a place.
He gives the angel with it
A big soul full of grace.

God does so love those children
It's all that He can do
To let the Angel take them
But he loves the mother's too.

And so he says I'll lend you
This little one of mine
The angel folds it's love
About the special gift divine.

The angel watches over
The child both day and night
So glad to see that lovely soul
All shining in God's light

God makes so many children
And every now and then
He seems to want one specially
We don't know why or when

He whispers to its Angel
Bring the child back to me
The angel sees a lovely sight
That someday we may see

It sees the souls of mothers
And fathers in God's light
Offering him tiny children
Whose souls are shining bright

God does so love those children
Whos souls are never dim
And how he loves those parents
Who give them back to him.



love from Josh`s mam Christine xxx
