December 22, 2004

Came into the loving arms of Rhonda(22) and Roger(28) at Rapides Women and Children's Hospital. I was having contractions for about a month. I knew she would be coming soon, and I couldn't wait to meet her!
Her father and I had many names in mind. We thought we had it finally decided as Emma Lauren Bennett. At the last minute, her middle name was changed to Aubrey. Daddy thought of it and we both loved it.
Mommy was in a lot of pain, but once i seen my heavenly angel all the pain was definately worth every second. I know I have said this a lot but she was truly such a peaceful and content baby. From the moment she opened her eye's I knew she was something special. I will have that memory in my heart forever.

December 25, 2004

Roger, Rhonda, Ariel, Brianna, Aaliyah, and Emma had a wonderful Christmas. It was such a joy to see Emma awake and looking around at all of the enjoyment going on around her. She received a bunch of new outfits that her sisters helped open. Her beautiful green eyes just filled the room with heavenly charm.

January 2005

Emma got admited into Rapides Women and Childrens hospital for RSV. MaMa spent an entire week in the hospital with her. I felt so helpless and could not wait for her to feel well again. The whole time i was wishing I could just take her place.

February 2005

Grampy and Grammy Lise came to visit us in Louisianna. They had a great visit and helped mommy out a lot with Emma. We just hung out and enjoyed each others company. It was the first and last time they would see Emma alive.

March 2005

MaMa got a job at the day care that her girls attended. I worked in the infant room and spoiled my love buggy rotten. I would hold her and play with her every chance that I had. She was such a relaxed baby.When I would hold her I would often get sleepy. She made me feel so relaxed and peaceful. I could play peek-a-boo with her forever....it was hilarious to see how hard she laughed..oh i miss her soooo much!

April 2005

Everyone that had a chance to be blessed with her presence, would always comment on how adorable she was. She always lifted everyones spirits. MaMa was going through a very difficult time in her life but the love and joy of her children always made her life worth living.

May 7, 2005

Emma's life was put in the hands of the Lord. Most devastating experience in the lives of the people that loved her.
     That day I remember spending a normal day with her. I held her for a great while we laughed, played, and smiled at each other. Daddy and I were at a friends house. It was time to go our seperate ways. I was going to work as a server at Applebee's and he was going to his moms to watch the girls. I remember as the girls were leaving i blew them a kiss. Why couldn't I take the extra time to go and give each of them a hug and a kiss? I don't know, but not giving my Emma Boo a hug and kiss the last moment I saw her alive is going to haunt me for the rest of my life.
      I was at work...it was so slow...i think i had maybe 2 tables in about 2 hours. Why did I even go to work? Why couldn't I spend all my days just spoiling my girls? I wish I could turn back the hand of time...I would have done so many things different. I eventually got "the call" at about 7:00PM, Roger saying come up to the hospital quick...Emma has stopped breathing. In a frantic state I dropped everything and went to the hospital. On the way to the hospital I remember thinking to myself..."she'll be alright" "she's just probably having trouble breathing" Well when i arrived in the ER, I seen everyone's eyes were red from crying...i seen her on the bed with oxygen tubes up her nose and I still thought she was alive because everyone was just standing there, so I thought they were just monitoring her breathing. The doctor finally put his arm around me and told me..."we did everything we could, but she is dying" She had already past away and I guess that was the way he thought he should tell me. I soon found out what had happened. Roger (daddy) told me that he just finished giving her a bottle. She ate great she had all 8 oz. and burped about 4 times. He laid her down in his mothers bed for a nap. About an hour later his sister came to visit. She was curious about Emma and went to check on her. She was very pale white. Emma ended up choking on her own vomit. Roger tried his damnest to revive her while Rick drove the car to the ER. What time she passed and where I am still not certain. I believe she died at his mothers before anyone got to her.She wasn't a big puker. I just wonder why? why my sweet little Emma Boo, she made a huge impact on my life and soul and to lose her was truly devastating. I wish I could make a trade out and give my life up for hers...I would do it in a second.

May 8 2005

Today is Mother's day. I just remember thinking over and over, "Where is she? She should be here with us...she should be there when I wake up. She would wake me up early every morning to eat. What once was a tiring thought was now something I automatically woke up for and a routine I wanted back in my life more than anything ever before, I remember crying my eyes dry. Now every mother's day from here on is a reminder of my baby's angel date.

May 11 2005

We had the funeral and burial of Emma. It was very heartbreaking. She looked very peaceful though. The funeral home did a great job of keeping her angelic looks. We had a nice dinner at the church. She was buried in a plot where many of her father's family were buried. It was very hard to come into the realization that I would never see her beautiful face again. Maybe in dreams, pictures, and many years from now when I finally pass.
On the way back from the burial my family and I were packed in my car like a bunch of sardines. The car had vice grips to change the gears and a switch to get my car started. Well the car broke down with about 8 of us in it. We pulled over at a gas station and called for someone to come get us. It seems kinda funny to me right now, but really sucked when it was happening.
That car ended up giving me a whole lot of trouble. Maybe it was Emma's sign to us to "just give up" on trying to make ends meet in Louisiana. It was hopeless...no matter how hard I tried, I could not move out of the rut I was in.

July 2005

Mommy, Brianna, and Aaliyah moved to NH. It killed me to leave the state in which Emma was buried, but it was a decision that was necessary for us to live a life without so much stress.
