Stories of Lost Children
Precious Paula
by Marian, Walnut Creek, CA, U.S.A.
We thought we were done having kids and I was surprised when I found I was pregnant again. We thought it was another boy and were thrilled when we found out via amnio it was a girl. Our precious Paula arrived in May of 1999 a healthy little girl! Paula was quite a force to be reckoned with as she had 3 older brothers and knew how to fight. She had brown eyes, curly hair and a temper and will to match! Paula was a happy girl though, and always had smiles and kisses for everyone. She refused to wear dresses and bows on her beautiful hair and loved her shorts and jeans and t-shirts. She adored her Daddy and when he came home he was always welcomed with a "Yeah, my Daddy is home!" Our world came to an end on July 7th when she decided to get the gate open and go into the pool. Despite the efforts of her doctor, Daddy and all the paramedics and firemen our little Paula went to the Lord. She left behind a brokenhearted Dad and Mom and 3 wonderful brothers. We will always miss our curly haired spitfire but we must be strong for her sad little brothers. Take care precious Paula, we will always love you.
