Damian Joseph Pyle was born still on November 19, 2007 due to what doctors and geneticists believe was a rare genetic condition called Trisomy 13. Trisomy 13 is basically an extra x attached to chromosome 13 that occurs as a random event during conception. It can result in many physical and internal deformities. In DJ's case, there were some mild physical exterior deformities but what overall ceased his life was his heart. Doctors did not detect anything wrong during the pregnancy except for the fact that I was not gaining as much weight as I should have. No one expected there to be any problems though. Everything looked normal and healthy until the very end.
Damian is now with the Lord and will forever be in our hearts.
I thought of you and closed my eyes and prayed to God today. I asked what makes a Mother and I know I heard him say. A mother had a baby, this we know is true. But, God, can you be a Mother when your baby's not with you? Yes you can He replied with confidence in His voice. I give many women babies. When they leave is not their choice. Some I send for a lifetime and others for a day. And some I send to feel your womb but there's no need to stay. I just don't understand this, God. I want my baby here. God took a breath and cleared His throat and then I saw a tear. I wish that I could show you what your child is doing today. If you could see your child smile with other children and she would say: “I miss my Mommy oh so much but I visit her each day. When she goes to sleep at night on her pillow's where I lay. I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek and whisper in her ear. "Mommy, don't be sad today. I'm your baby and I am here." So you see my dear sweet one, your child is okay. Your baby is here in my home. She'll be at the gates to meet you one day. So now you see what makes a Mother. It's the feeling in your heart. It's the love you had so much of, right from the very start.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15

God saw her getting tired, a cure was not to be. So he wrapped her in his loving arms and whispered come with me. She suffered much in silence, her spirit did not bend She faced her pain with courage, until the very end She tried too hard to stay with us, her fight was all in vain God took her to his loving home, and freed her from all the pain.

It’s cold in here fells like everything’s upside down I can feel you talking but I can barely make out the sound I been kicking around these parts feels like a year I’m gonna change this world if I ever get out of here She wants to dress me in pink paint’s my bedroom blue And I just laugh to myself cause only I know the truth This love is my only emotion Haven’t learned any fear any pain It’s kind of funny with all this commotion guess they’ve got me to blame And they don’t even know my name And they don’t even know my name Well I’ve never felt so ready think it’s finally time Cause that big old world is waiting and it’s mine all mine Just then everything got real quiet it got real bright And a man took my hand said "don’t worry" mama's gonna be alright Then he opened the gate And I followed him in Said "you can wait right here till it’s your turn again" And his love is the one true emotion Heaven knows no fear no pain I never got to set my wheels in motion But they loved me just the same And they didn't even know my name Didn’t even know my name You loved me just the same And you didn’t even know my name George Canyon

Don’t tell me that you understand. Don’t tell me that you know. Don’t tell me that I will survive, How I will surely grow. Don’t come at me with answers That can only come from me. Don’t tell me how my grief will pass, That I will soon be free. Accept me in my ups and downs. I need someone to share. Just hold my hand and let me cry And say, “My friend, I care.”
