Emmah Marie Blakeney was born 12/15/2004 at 7:33 am at Womens Hospital in Greensboro, NC. She weighed 8 lbs. 14 ozs. She was born by C-Section and was the most alert and happy baby I had ever seen. She had a very full life for not even being on earth for a year yet. She was close to ALL of her family and everyone wanted to be close to her. She had a presence about her that would draw you in. She also had ALL of her mother's attitude rolled into her little personality. Emmah was very nosey and had to be in the middle of everything. I think she even skipped most of the baby stages by a landslide. She wasn't even a month old and she was rolling over. She amazed me every day of her life with all that she did. Sh even skipped on the baby food and went straight to "big" people food. With two teeth only she sure did eat EVERYTHING. The only time she ever cried was if you did not feed her quick enough. I will never forget anything she ever did.  We miss our baby more than words can say and pray that she is safe in Heaven.  She was taken to Heaven on 8/31/2005 at 1:33 am. 



Do not think of me and weep
I am free.  I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints of snow.
I am the sunlight on your window pane.
I am the gentle spring rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in soaring flight.
I am the twinkle in the stars at night.
I'll be the music that fills your ears.
I'll send you laughter to dry the tears.
Oh no, no, do not cry for me.

I feel no pain.  I am free.

Emmah Passed away on 8/31/2005 at 1:33 am she was pronoucned dead. Those words still ring in my head over and over again ' I am sorry Ms. Smith, we tried everything and she didn't come back'. I think that was THE WORST day of my life. I had left for work on 8/30/2005 at 7:30 pm and got off around midnight and came home. When I walked in the door Emmah and her daddy were asleep on the couch, or so I thought. I noticed he was sort of close to her but that was not unusual. She always had to sleep right under her daddy. I went upstairs and he called up to me about ten minutes later that something was wrong. I will not continue from here I can hope you understand why. I was told that being honest and sharing my story with others will help to prevent things like this happening in the future. From what I understand parents suffocating there children accidently is common.
