This website is dedicated to our daughter, Sydney Elizabeth, who was born into God's arms instead of ours. It's so hard to talk about all of our feelings to even our closest friends, but we want Sydney's memory to live on forever, so this website serves as a way to do that. Because Sydney never had the chance to breathe on her own, we cannot call our loved ones with stories of her firsts. The first time she rolled over, crawled, walked, spoke, first day of school, first kiss, getting married, having children of her own....she will never have those here on Earth, instead she lives on in Heaven. So I fear that Sydney is being forgotten, thus I will share as much as I can of her short life on this website. Sydney's Tea House is a place to relfect on the short life of our little Angel. I like to think she's having a tea party with her friends in Heaven.

I love you, little Sydney
How do you love a person
Who never got to be,
Or try again to see a face
You never got to see?
How do you mourn the death of one
Who never got to live,
When there's nothing to feel good about
And nothing to forgive?
I love you, little Sydney.
You're a person of the wind,
Free to be the memory
Of all that might have been.
I love you, little Sydney,
My companion of the night,
Wandering through my lonely hours,
Beautiful and bright.
What does it mean to die before
You ever can be born,
To live the lovely night of life
And never see the dawn?
Ah! My little Sydney,
You lived like anyone!
Life's a burst of joy and pain,
And then, like yours, it's done.
I love you, little Sydney,
Just as if you'd lived for years.
No more, no less, I think of you,
The angel of my tears.
