I came across Hayley's site a couple of years ago by way of another Caringbridge site, and have been following your journey ever since. Although I don't know you personally, I have both cried and rejoiced over the events in your life. I will be forever changed by your never-ending faith in God throughout your trials. As a mother of a child with special needs, I know it can sometimes be difficult to accept God's plan for our lives. You have set a wonderful example of faithfulness and trust. Congratulations on Jacob's birth. He is gorgeous- what a wonderful blessing! I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

I was going to reply to your email but thought I'd just write in your lovely guestbook. I know it was a special Father's Day weekend and seeing you with your little boy was amazing. He is a doll. I truly felt Hayley's presence, as well.

Happy Belated Father's Day to Alan:) I have to say the pictures brought tears to my eyes. They both just have a spirit about them and to see Jacob holding the picture of Hayley, it brought tears to my eyes. He is a gorgeous baby and I am so glad that he has brought you both such joy. You deserve it so much.

Alan,
Happy Father's Day. It must be a both difficult AND joyous day for you both. Thank you again for keeping us posted on Jacob's precious life and how you are all doing. We love to read your entries. Hayley certainly did give you the gift of cherishing every moment.....she did the same for me. You certainly have gone through an earthly "hell", but have gained more wisdom and simplicity in living life than most will ever know. I pray for each of you daily.....wanting only the best of blessings to come your way. I know God's plan for your family is perfect....because He only knows "perfect". Enjoy your little Jacob!

Happy Father's Day, Alan. Wow, the pictures of Jacob are amazing and the one with Hayley's picture, well, it just has brought tears to my eyes. I do think he's pointing to Heaven to let you all know she was there for the photo's. As usual, thank you for sharing with us all. I woke up at sunrise and the pink from the sky was shining in through the shutters. Of course, Hayley was the first thought. It's amazing that she's so much a part of so many people's thoughts and lives.

Dayna&Alan,
I can't believe how much he has grown in just 2 1/2 weeks. He is such a beautiful baby just like the rest of family. I do see a lot of Hayley in him. I am sure she and God had something to do with that. He will always have an extra special angel to watch over him forever. By the way, I don't want just a sneak peak of those precious photos I want to see more. He such a beautiful baby, so peaceful. Take care and God Bless! Love,Sonya

It is so easy to not believe in God when Hayley left this world much too soon for us....AND....so easy to believe in God when you look at Jacob. We just have to trust God when he seems to make no sense to us. It is hard to do.

Hi Dayna,

I am sitting here, enjoying the pictures of your little bundle, and trying to think of something, ANYTHING that is more wonderful than a newborn baby...my mind is blank! There isn't anything more life-affirming or such a pure expression of love, nope, babies are IT!

God bless your beautiful family! You look fabulous!(You even remembered to put earings on in the hospital!) Enjoy breathing in the scent of your sweet, baby boy! His cat chasing days will arrive, soon enough! I am sure that Miss Hayley gave him some pointers!

With love,

My goodness...that little man is scrumptious!!! I swear I can smell that sweet baby smell sitting here looking at him!!! You can see the joy radiating from Alan and yourself in those pictures! What utter and complete love! We will continue to keep y'all in our hearts and prayers as well as Angel Hayley. I too must agree I am certain Hayley is there rubbing Jacob's sweet head and planting adoring kisses on him.

Much Love and Happiness,

He is just beautiful, we are so happy for you and thank you for sharing your pictures with all of us.

Our prayers will always be with you and Hayley. We can only imagine the memories that are flooding back with each new move Jacob makes as we were flooded with memories of each of our children when the next one came along.
We will pray that the memories are comforting and that you feel Hayley's love surrounding the three of you as you celebrate Jacob's birth.

On another note, watch for Jacob to see Hayley when she visits him. Our second daughter saw my Grandmother's cousin in a store one time and started yelling for Grandma.(16 mos old) My husband and I hadn't seen the cousin at that time only our daughter did and we couldn't figure out why she was yelling Grandma. The strangest part is we hadn't seen the cousin in a year, my grandmother and the cousin could pass as twins, my grandmother died three years before my daughter was born, and she had NEVER called anyone Grandma-(Only Nana). When we finally saw the cousin two aisles later, we walked over to say hello and our daughter continued to call her Grandma and almost fell out of my arms trying to get to her. I handed her to the cousin and she smiled at her, hugged her, and rubbed her face while just staring at her with a huge grin. She cried when we walked away yelling Grandma with her arms stretched out. All of us, including the cousin, agreed that it was the oddest thing we had ever seen. We truly believe that my Grandmother had come many times to check on my children and my daughter who, coincidentally was named after my grandmother, developed a special bond with her.

Sorry for the long story but this has happened to a couple of people we know who's children have talked about Angels.

If you here giggling coming from Jacobs room, he may just have a play mate:)

I prayed and prayed that God would bless you with more children. I can hear big sis up there giggling and planning for the next one. She knows how blessed any child would be to have you guys as parents. I will continue to pray for all of you. That you have many many many years of health, happiness and joyous events. I pray that God continues to comfort you as you reflect on precious Hayley, and how many lives she has changed for the better. I know that Jacob will always love and appreciate his big sister and that he is loved as much as she is by many many people. You are a wonderful family and deserve only the best.

Allow me to join with the so many others in heartfelt Congratulations to the two of you on your new arrival.

My family and I are temporarily "displaced" as our house sold (in 24 hours) and we aren't able to move into our new one for another week. We have been visiting from one location to another over the last two weeks and haven't had steady internet access. How surprised I was over the weekend when my sister shared your news of Jacob's arrival.

Seeing his sweet face (particularly those cheeks and nose) brought such a fullness to my soul. So Hayley. So, so Hayley. She surely helped the "big guy" out with him. What a blessing. God is good....all the time!

Please take care, enjoy each moment (as I know you will) and, by all means, keep us posted as you have time.

You guys are awesome.

Oh my goodness gracious, how I wish I could hold little Jacob and kiss him from head to toe! I just thought, what if Caringbridge had a guestbok with sound. You all would surely know how sincere Hayley's followers are, as I always have the most expressions as I read your site. Jacob is truly a doll and I know your hearts are full. I am praying for a wonderful, joy filled long life for Jacob and that you and Alan will be able to fully feel the joy of having this precious son. I can't wait to meet Jacob(maybe a brief viewing at the luncheon in Sept.? :) I can certainly watch him for you! I am so very proud for you and will surely remember Jacob in my daily prayers.

I have followed your journey for about two years, but this is the first time I have written a message. I just want you to know, I cried with you when you lost your sweet little Haley, and I cried again with you this week when I read of Jacob's birth. There is no replacing a child, ever. But now you have a baby in your arms again and I can only imagine your joy. Jacob shares his birthday with my daughter, Amy, and also with Bob Hope and John F. Kennedy. These are three very special people to share a birthday with, in my book. Celebrate Life!

He sound like a typical little boy...full of noises! I wanted to thank you for sharing your nursery photos. Since I've seen them, the one thing that has played over and over in my head is what is written on the wall "The best things in life aren't things." It's one of my philosophies that I really needed to be reminded of lately. Hanging in your house meant that much more to me.

In my excitement over Jacob's birth, I have to laugh at myself for checking your site a couple of times a day in hopes that there is an update. I don't think for a moment that either of you have been able to put him down for more time than to change a diaper or to take a quick pic! I can't blame you and can only feel incredible awe for your sweet blessing.

I can't believe that Jacob arrived Monday and I'm only just checking the website and finding out. Thanks to Hayley, no doubt. Last night on the way home from work I saw a rainbow in the sky. Of course, I said hi to Hayley, followed by a quick prayer for her wonderful parents. Suddenly, it hit me. Oh my gosh! Was Hayley sending her little brother down the rainbow slide to her mommy and daddy?!?! Apparently she already had and it was her way of telling me I'd better check in to hear the news.
Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you! I hope that everyone is doing great. He's absolutely beautiful, and I can certainly see Hayley in him. Thanks for the update! I'm sure you're an incredibly proud and very excited dad, Alan! I can't wait to hear from mom, too! And to see some more pictures! Take care! (((hugs)))

We are SO excited (albeit a little jealous) that Kristin got to hold Jacob first (Harummphh!!!) :)


Then again, we can't imagine a better person than Kristin to have gently welcomed your little man to the family we've created :) In a way, she's sort of our Matriarch! (though probably much younger than me!) So, I guess we'll get over ourselves... But, after you recover from the c-section, we're pounding on the door Sista!!! :)

With all of our hearts, we can't tell you how overjoyed we are for you and Alan (and Linda, Linda & Dad!) To hold another baby in your arms was destiny, just as holding sweet Hayley. Congratulations dear friends. Snuggle every moment with unabashed joy... Nothing would make Hayley's rainbrow brighter :)

Loving thoughts and kisses,

I cried just before Christmas 2004 with you, and I have tears of joy now that you have welcomed Hayley's little brother into the world. I know she's the proudest big sis ever! I hope that mom and Jacob are doing well and that your family continues to be blessed. :)

Dearest Dayna and Alan,

I decided to check in on you, today, to see how the pregnancy was going. Well, I can barely catch my breath! I guess that little Jacob couldn't wait another second to meet his very special mommy and daddy! I cannot express to you, how very happy I am for your family. If joy could be felt over two thousand miles away, you would know how full my heart is feeling for you, today. Jacob is absolutely beautiful, and yes, I definitely see a lot of his big sister in him! Hayley must be bouncing with pride, as she looks down at her wonderful family.

Thank you for sharing this blessed time in your lives. I cannot wait to see more pictures of sweet Jacob! Dayna, I had four C-sections, so I do understand what you must be feeling right now! Enjoy baby Jacob, and let everyone else take care of you!

Mazel Tov! Happy birthday, baby Jacob!

Love,
Debbie

Y'all did a beautiful job on the nursery - now all that lacks is filling it with that precious baby! Y'all are going to love having a little boy - I've got my 3rd one on the way - scheduled for inducement on June 5th, and they are so much fun! I've got 1 little girl too, and while I was hoping this 4th one would be another little girl so she could have a sister, I'm happy about a boy. There's just something so sweet about those little boy sticky kisses and exuberant hugs that could squeeze the life out of you! And little boys love their mamas! I can't wait to see pictures of precious Jacob when he arrives. Sending lots of love and prayers your way!

Jacob's room is so perfect! See how cute little boy rooms can be? I knew Jacob wouldn't be arriving early...he will be right on time, and you will have the peace of knowing that everything is as it should be. We now know why Haley came so early...Jacob doesn't need the extra time, he will have a lifetime with you and Alan...so, you will just have to wait until June 15th! I'm so excited for you...can't wait to see pictures. Hope the next three weeks FLY by.....

Dayna, I think of you all daily. I think that Hayley is preparing her little brother with lots of love to bring her mommy and daddy. My little Kilby still comments about balloons going to "Hayley in Heaven" each time she sees one flying in the sky. I pray for you and Alan as you continue on missing your sweet baby girl.

Dana-
I couldn't let the day go by without letting you know that you were on my mind several times today, Mother's Day. I will never celebrate today without being mindful of those moms who struggle through the day thinking of their angel babies. I have said it many times before, yet I want you to know it is sincere....Hayley made such an impact on my life and God has used your family to touch so many others. I know you are anxiously awaiting little Jacob....I'm praying for a safe and wonderful delivery. I'd like to think that when little Jacob finally arrives here on earth, he would have just left the presence of our heavenly father and Hayley!

I've been praying for you since Haley's last months on this earth. I've never looked at a rainbow the same since. This mothers day I can't help but hope little Jacob gives you the best present of all and that's letting you see his tiny face for the first time. That is my prayer for you and even if he has you waiting a bit longer I'm praising God today for that new little life and the gift you had in Haley when she was your child on earth and the gift she is as your child in heaven. Happy Mothers Day

Was thinking about you today...so wanted to stop by and wish you a Happy Mother's Day. It is such a short time now until you get to see Jacob in person, hold him and kiss his sweet baby head. Baby Smell!!!! Don't you just love it...it won't be long now! I'm so excited for both of you. You must tell Alan to immediately post some pictures after he is born, afterall, he is already famous, and "his following" awaits!

A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven
By Jody Seilheimer



Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she’s cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth
She needs to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.

Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you’ll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I’ll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

Dayna you and Alan are such special people. I have never met you, yet you move me every time I read your thoughts. I cried just thinking of you with the playdoh shoes. What a sweet and special girl you made together.
I eagerly await your joyful announcement. You look so great in that picture and I love Hayley's art!

Always thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.

I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to go through Hayley's things. At the same time, I'm sure you were also flooded with sweet memories that made you laugh.
Thank goodness for the nesting period to help you get through it.
Take care! I hope the rest of your pregnancy flies by. I can't wait for Jacob to be here!

Dear darling ones,
I am now in Birmingham starting a pediatric hospice program.It is so hard to convince the value!
My mother died in 1996 on Easter Sunday. My father died in 1981 on Easter Sunday. I suppose we alway will have "melancholy" associated with "happiness" when we speak of memories.
I await Jacob as no other person. Can you imagine coming to earth knowing you already have your sister guiding you? Jacob is destined to do great things.
I think of you every day.
Will we ever wake up one day and not remember "that moment"? I can't share but it is the greatest testimonial to my faith. I don't believe I have ever felt God so close. He certainly picked his moment, didn't He? He will do the same with Jacob...I wish I could be there to witness it.
Please keep me up!! I really want to come to Atlanta when Jacob is born.
Jacob's daddy, please have your darling mom email me. cns48@aol.com
I will continue to forge my path in the pursuit to have families face the upmost agony with dignity. Keep me in your prayers!
If you see Robbye tell her what I am doing.
My love to you, to Jacob and to that darling Hayley who talks to "my children" constantly. What on earth would these fearful and unbelieving families do without her presence....she has worked miracle after miracle for me. You miss her but she has held the hands of 6 children as they move to heaven. You will have to be present to witness. When you are all older and not so fragile I will let you "see".
As always,
Candace

I havent stopped by in a long time, but I have been following from a distance. Congratulations on Jacob. Hayley is about a year older than my second daughter and we, too, are expecting a baby boy in the coming months. I totally "get" what you are saying about shoes. Out of everything, they seem so mundane and yet they hold the strongest thoughts. As they get older, (my other daughter is 6,) I always look at their feet. I remember them going from soft, fragile looking tiny toes to chubby, lovable toddler toes to "real" feet. I know, from everything you have ever said about her, that Hayley would be the perfect big sister and that she will forever hold Jacob close.

I must be a huge softie for your girl because I just balled through most of this journal entry. Oh you just look so cute pregnant. And those pictures of Hayley's in Jacob's room just make my eyes well up. It is so wonderful that she's still a part of his life. You and Alan are going to do such a wonderful job raising Jacob up and no doubt Hayley will watch over him and protect him. He is a very lucky little boy to have such a perfect and precious angel. Still missing your little girl...

oh, how wonderful to read your update....I know you are anxiously awaiting your Jacob. (we all are!) My eyes filled up with tears at the thought of Hayley's precious shoes....which reminds me of an old Sandi Patti song (from her children's album) that talks about "beautiful feet". Hayley's feet certainly were beautiful-- which matched her extraordinary heart and spirit. I LOVE the pictures on the wall. Is it possible that it could bring you some comfort-- picturing those little hands coloring away...and that big smile MUST have not been too far! I hope it does. I continue to pray for you and Alan every day and want you to know how Hayley continues to impact my life in the "small things". What a difference she makes. Thank you for sharing....much love and anticipation

I'm so glad you guys are doing well - I know how hard it must have been to go thru all of Hayley's things, but that hope chest idea is just brilliant!!! I think the playdoh shoes are a perfect addition to that box.

I feel as thought I have known you guys for months now, and yet you don't know me at all. I've followed Hayley, her battle and her victory. And after finding out about Jacob and the best news I could have hoped for you ... I've read each and every update. I am so happy for you, and wish you the best of luck on this next chapter of your lives.

Reading your update today was especially hard for me. Hayley and my little girl were born just a few months shy of one another. I was heartbroken when Hayley left this world to move onto her reward ... but I also felt as though it was harder on me then anything else. Because everything that Hayley was learning to do, all of her milestones that she was meeting, my little girl was doing as well. It made it so hard to understand why you had to endure something so difficult, and I still do not have an answer for that. I do know that Hayley was a gift to this world. She did indeed touch my life, and many others, and I hope to make her proud. This October I will be starting a team in the LLS Light the Night walk, I will dedicate my team to Hayley and her struggle. I will do my best to raise enough money that she provides me with a rainbow to remember her sweet darling little face.

I am sorry that I can't make this pain go away...I wish I could ... but please know that her life was not in vane. She was sent her for a very special purpose...and I have felt her presence from 500 miles away! God Bless You All

I am so glad that you all and Jacob will have the most loving and special Angel watching over. Please know that I am thinking and praying for you all. Hayley was just a special soul that touched SO many and will never leave their hearts, including mine. Hugs! I hope the next 7 weeks are filled with many love filled kicks and anticipation for the next lucky kid. I know you will enjoy every moment...Hayley definitely taught everyone that!

I'm sure I'm one of many who wept at the image of Hayley's little shoes. I immediately thought of my precious little girl and the way she's making her mark on our lives. Oh, the depth of the grief I would feel if she were no longer here! I can only begin to fathom it. And I hope I never have to experience it. I pray with all my might that what sweet Hayley taught her doctors will someday keep children from going through cancer ever again. Her artwork, her special little touches, her hope chest--these will all make Jacob's life (and the lives of any future siblings) even more meaningful. Thanks so much for continuing to share your journey through grief and through a life that is joyful but constantly yearning for that blessed day of reunion.

Oh Dayna,

You look so wonderful! I love the pictures that Hayley made,hanging in Jacob's room! What a special reminder they will be for both you and for Jacob. Jacob will always know that he had a big sister who cared about him, even before he was conceived. How precious...

I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for you to pack Hayley's things away, but I am sure that it will be comforting to know that some of her things will always be with you. I am also sure that some of those things will be qualities and characteristics that you will see in Jacob, and because of that, you will always have Hayley with you, too.

I pray that the rest of your pregnancy will be uneventful, and that Jacob's birth will go smoothly! Can't wait to hear about his arrival!

Love,
Deb

Thank you so much for the beautiful update! Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Hayley in person, your words just capture her essence; I could picture her getting all messy in those shoes with a big grin on her face. I agree, there is something truly special about little feet! I am keeping you in my prayers, especially for a safe delivery and I cannot wait for pictures of Hayley's new brother!

Dayna and Alan,

I am praying with my whole heart that everything goes extremely well with the birth of your son. If you don't remember me I am Daegen Feyh's mom ( he passed away in July from AML)at the age of 4. I will be the first to tell you that boy's stuff is so cute. And having a daughter as well, I can tell you that boys and girls are so wonderfully different and amazing. I wish nothing but the best for you and Alan. We will continue to keep you in our prayers. Our site is www.dmanhero.com. God Bless, Janelle, Lance, Alexa, and Angel Daegen

Catie listens to the Stanton Lanier CD every day at nap, so you guys are almost guaranteed to cross our minds at least once a day! We're praying for a safe arrival for little Jacob and for a long, healthy life filled with happy days and smiles!

I still check on you often, loving your updates and learing of how we might specifically pray for you all.

We had an early Easter celebration at our church just for the kiddo's and there was one little girl about Hayley's age dancing in front of us...I watched her as she reminded me so much of her, with her looks and chubbyness..I smiled at her with a heavy heart, just thinking of little Hayley.

I am sure Hayley is chasing bunnies around up there in heaven! If we could only witness from down here the kind of Easter Celebration she is having with Jesus. We would be in awe.

Prayers for you all (baby in the belly included!).
In Christian love,

Wow, not too much longer until that bundle of love is here! We have had an unusual spat of rain here in California. One day we saw a beautiful rainbow that turned into a double rainbow. I told my eight year old and 6 year old how it must be Hayley painting the sky again in heaven. A few days later as we were going home another more brilliant rainbow appeared and my daughter Allie looked up and exclaimed, "Wow Hayley, you sure are busy...you pain the BEST rainbows"! I welled up listening to such a sweet innocent exchange between her and her new "heavenly" friend. Thinking of you and counting down the days until you bouncing bundle of boy love is here!!!!

Gosh! I can't believe that it's that close already. Wow!
I can't wait to see your belly pic and to see or hear a description of Jacob's room.
That'll be great for Alan to have a baby for Fathers Day. Too bad you'll have to wait for Mothers Day. My daughter was due right before Fathers Day, but she decided to wait until after it passed so her Mommy could be the first to experience her day.
Oh won't it be wonderful to hold a baby in your arms again?! I can understand how you would be excited about up-all-nighters and diapers!
Take care! I hope this last trimester goes by quickly for you. You're always in my thoughts and prayers.

I have been following your story for awhile but have never left a note but had to today after reading your last entry. I have a 3 year old son, his birthday is February 5, 2003 and am due with our second on June 14th! Kind of an ironic coinsidence!! Anyway, I love that disney comercial, the boy is so cute, but reading your post tonight brought tears to my eyes. I can't imagine your pain. When I start losing my patience with DS, I remember that every moment we have with our children is a blessing and I need to cherish even the rough ones. Thank you for helping me remember that.

Oh, how wonderful to hear of how things are going for you both! We are so excited about Jacob's arrival and have been praying for him for months. As always, we think of Hayley so many times during our day.....what a difference she still makes to remind me of perspective and what is important. I can only imagine meeting her face to face one day. I know you are constantly thinking of her. And Jacob will know her one day when he reads of her life and how God used her in such an incredible way. Now that's a big sister to be proud of. Thank you for keeping us posted. What a privilege to get to stay "in touch". God's richest blessings to you, Alan, and Baby Jacob!

Hi Dayna and Alan,

It was nice to read the update. Glad things are moving along! And yes, Boy stuff can be extremely cute! It will be great! Just have to get used to trucks, balls, and robots over babies, barbies, and hairbows.... Ha Ha! But the joy of watching how excited they get over a new truck or ball is pretty darn wonderful... Ya know?

I hope you make it to June 15th, and if you do, Jacob will be 7 weeks ahead of our new baby Elias ..and remember Hayley was 6 weeks earlier than Carson...FREAKY!!! Take Care!

What a treat to see an update!! June 15th is a great day...I married my sweetie on that day and this year it will be our 15th wedding anniversary. We said we would do a cruise on our tenth...then came babies and cancer. We thought for sure that this was the year, but instead we got to put a new engine in the truck. Instead we are anxious to enjoy a weekend in the mountains....just us. I enjoy every minute with my three kids, but one weekend away while they get spoiled by Grandma and Papa....worth it all!
My daughter came early but my two boys stayed until we went and got them out....scheduled c's are the best! I just can hardly wait for little Jacob's arrival. I know that Hayley is up in Heaven with our Jacob....hope she taught him about circles and dogs....something we didn't get the chance to do!

I used them with my third baby and only wish I knew about it all with my first two. Luckily Northside Hospital carries the kits used. The baby came 2 weeks early, days before I got the kit in the mail,but was fortunated that the hospital had them (at least they did 3 years ago.) I'll keep you in my prayers as always.

Hi Dayna - Glad to hear all is well with you and your soon to be expanding family. I think of Hailey still very often - she was my first little CB friend and holds a special place in my heart. I am way-done with my child bearing days (mine are 11 and 15!), but I am going to print the info and give it to my doctor - he delivers lots of babies!! Getting the word out is exactly what we all need to help do. God Bless you and Alan as you prepare for Jacob's arrival. I feel sure his big sis will be a first-class guardian angel!

Hi Dayna! I'm so thrilled to hear that everything is going so well with Jacob!
Thanks for the information on the cord blood donation! I 'm so happy to have it! I'm not pregnant now, but I do plan on having another baby sometime. I had asked my hospital about it when I had my first baby 20 months ago, but they said they didn't do it. Now I've got some very valuable information for next time!
I hope that you're doing okay with packing Hayley's things away. I can't imagine how difficult it must be and how final it must make things feel. You'll definitely be in my thoughts and prayers.
On a lighter note, that's great that you found that bedding for Jacob! I know Hayley will be looking down and smiling as you prepare the nursery for her new brother.
Take care! (((hugs)))

I still think of Hayley often.....to be truthful there is something everyday that reminds me of her and the impact she (and you both) have made on my life. God continues to use you to speak wisdom to me. Thank you. I am hoping that you are still feeling well and getting things ready for baby Jacob. I know the feelings you must be having are bitter-sweet. Take it one day at a time and know that many of us are still praying for you both. Thanks for keeping us posted!

It's great to read an update from your family. I've been thinking of you so often these days, knowing you are busy making preparations, which involves saying goodbye to some things and welcome to others. I love the nursery idea and think it will be a wonderful way to share Hayley with her brother, right from the beginning. Thank you so much for the cord blood donation info. I had no idea it involved so many steps on my part! It seems to me that with such a precious resource, hospitals and collection centers would make it easier--and obstetricians would mention it to all expectant mothers. Maybe, in the future, that will be the case. In the meantime, even several steps are worthwhile if they can add hope to a child's life. I have stored the info and will try to use it when we have our second baby.

All my best to you and your family! I will continue to follow your story. It has helped me treasure my daughter all the more.

Dayna,
I'm so glad you mentioned the Cryo-banks info. Because of your story and Allie Scott's story, I wanted so much to donate my next babies cord blood. I'm due in April and I went through the process, but got deferred in part because of a family history of melanoma. But I did pass on the info to my doctor because she said that she has been asked before and was not sure if there was a free place out there since KS doesn't have a bank. So I'm hoping that even though I could not donate, that someone will be able to use the information I provided to help someone like Hayley. Just wanted you to know how much your story has touched my life!!

Karla <kyoungdahl@steakco.com>
Wichita, KS - Wednesday, March 1, 2006 3:35 PM CST
In March 2005, I had my 2nd child. After following Hayley's story and Allie Scott's story, I decided to donate my little girls cord blood. We actually delivered at Piedmont in Atlanta and had no problems whatsoever with the process. At that time there was an organization in Atlanta that assisted you with all the paperwork but I cannot find there information now. I think it is a great thing you and Alan are doing with Jacob's cord blood. The word definately needs to get out about donation. Thanks for sharing with everyone.

Dayna, I have followed your story through the girls at Scrapshare. I am so glad that the prayers for another child to bless your life is being answered.

I am an L&D nurse and your info is going to be so helpful. I teach the infant care class at our hospital and usually have the rep from Viacord come in. I know that the question of donating comes up every single class, and to finally have an answer could possibly help save another child't life some day.

May God bless you and your family

I am so excited for you guys and my prayers will be with you as you begin preparing Jacob's room. I love that his bedding has circles and dogs. That is just perfect. Thanks for the update:)

Dear Dayna,
Great update. I want you to know that I do plan to have more children in the future and promise you right now that I will donate the cord blood. In fact, I have several pregnant friends right now and I am going to get the information for them so that they will donate too. Your family has increased my faith and made me a better mom. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

I have been following Haley's story for over a year now and have been praying for your beautiful family. I am so excited for your new arrival! I just delivered a baby girl 6 weeks ago (my 4th child) and I did not know how easy it was to collect and donate cord blood. I feel terrible that I did not take the proactive steps to donate her cord blood or my other childrens'. Now that I do know, I will surely pass along this valuable information to my many friends who are expecting. Thank you for sharing information on the collection and donating process.

My continued prayers will be with you during this incredibly bitter sweet time. Because of Haley's story, I value my chilren more, hug them more often, forgive their mistakes easier, and take that extra care to show them how much they mean to me and their father. Thank you for your incredible strength to document this beautiful girl's life.

Blessings to you and your family.

Thank You for posting the information on donating cord blood. I wanted to donate when our son Brayden was born almost three years ago, but didn't know how. We are due again this September and we will certainly consider donating, using the info you provided.

Continued best wishes for you!

Our hearts have broken with you, and now they SOAR with you! We feel along with you, the paradoxical, mixed emotions. Your faith has been a beacon to a watching world. Through your dark nights, your testimony has blessed a "great crowd of witnesses!" What enormous joy we all feel as we watch the unfolding of God's continued faithfulness. "For this child you have prayed," and God's gift of little Jacob uplifts all our hearts! We are SO excited for you and eagerly anticipate his blessed arrival. We continue to hold you all in our prayers and in our hearts!

Your entry made me smile. There is nothing like seeing your little one before they are born and hearing that all is well. Then the icing is knowing it's a boy and being able to really start calling him by his name. You truly deserve this happiness.

As the mom of three little boys, including a Jacob, I have to say that boys are awesome. Best wishes on this new and exciting adventure!

Dayna and Alan,

I know you two love music and lyrics and I just had to share the lyrics to a song that seems fitting by one of my favorites, John Lennon:

Beautiful Boy, Darling Boy

Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your daddy's here

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better

Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient
'Cause it's a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes it's a long way to go
But in the meantime

Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Love you guys!

Alan and Dayna,

What exciting news! I am so thankful that you shared your news with us. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for your precious little boy. I am sure his big sister was giggling when you found out that he was a boy! Continued prayers for a healthy and easy pregnancy. You guys take care of each other and know that all of Hayley's loyal prayer warriors will be praying over her little brother too! God bless you both.

No, I can't wait until June! New babies are always so exciting. The name is strong. A little boy will certainly be a different world! God and Hayley know just what you need. I can't imagine the vast expanse of emotions you must be experiencing. Thanks for continuing to share the story of your amazing journey. I have learned so much from you about love, life, parenthood, and grief. Congratulations! I rejoice with you about this wonderful news.

Congratulations! I am so thrilled to hear the wonderful news!! My sweet little 8 month old daughter was born last June, so I can personally vouch for how cute those little Junebugs can be! It's such a perfect time, deliver right before the summer heat begins. And you'll have the entire summer to enjoy your little new baby boy!

Look out, Gymboree - here she comes!!

Wonderful news. Wishing you all the best for the remaining half of the pregnancy. God Bless you - all four of you!

Congratulations! I have two boys here with me and one in Heaven with Hayley (named Jacob - we didn't get to meet him, he went straight there). They are so much fun and boy can they cuddle. I also have a daughter, so I do know the difference. I admit that they are not as much fun to dress.

I am usually wrong in my feelings, but I guessed it was a boy!! I am so happy for you!

Sally Yost <sally_pete@msn.com>
Woodstock, GA - Thursday, February 9, 2006 9:00 AM CST
A little boy! How wonderful! And I love the name Jacob! That was the name that my husband and I had picked for a boy, but we ended up with a Natalie instead of a Jacob. And what a blessing she's been!
Ahhhhhh! I can't stand to wait until June! Natalie was a June baby and June never seemed so far away...until now! I'm almost as excited as I was then!
I'm thrilled to hear that you're having a boy and that everything is great! I'll continue to pray that everything goes well and that you won't have a lot of anxiety. I can only imagine how it must be once you go through what you have. I hope that you're able to enjoy every minute of this pregnancy and every moment with your little boy when he's finally here without having to fear every fever, sniffle, etc.
I'm so excited for you both! You'll continue to be in my thoughts everyday and I pray that you will have the strength and emotional support that you need when it comes time to do Jacob's room.

As I fell asleep last night I could almost see Hayley giddy with excitement-overcome with anticipation for the next day when "mommy and daddy will see what (who) I've sent for them." Just like those times when children hand pick a gift for their parent, and usually blurt out what it is even before its unwrapped just because they are so excited and proud. Only, this time, Hayley got to keep the secret with those in heaven. Congratulations! In June, you'll be wondering how ever did time go by so fast!

Congratulations Dayna & Alan on your wonderful news of a little baby boy. I have 4 boys and their is nothing like a mother-son relationship. My boys are older 23, 19 and twins that are 18 and I have a very special relationship with each one of them. I cherish every moment I am with them and know you both are very excited for Jacob's arrival.

I know Hayley picked him especially for you both because she knows first hand what great parents you are.

Congratulations again and keep us posted about Jacob.

Oh how exciting! Congratulations.. I have to share a story. I am a twin and my sister and I are all the kids my mom had. She loved having girls and when I got married and then pregnant (just 3 yrs later..which to Grandma seemed like eternity!)...she was begging and praying for a little girl. Well, we have Luke who is about as boy as they come! Truth be told now, she would not change a thing. Boys are indeed a breed of their and they sure are fun! Not to mention they sure love their mommies... Hayley did good picking out a little boy to be the first of many siblings I am sure.

Girls do too (we have two older girls), but there is something so special about the love between a little boy and his mommy. We are so excited for you, I'm sure Hayley is telling Jacob how wonderful you both are, how much fun he will have, and how much she loves him. He is no doubt getting first hand information on rainbows too! :) Congrats!

I'm on pins and needles here! You've got to let us know what you find out as soon as you get back from the doctor today! I could use some uplifting new today. I'll be thinking of you guys all day. And hoping that you're more comfortable than I remember being when I had my ultrasound! Ugh! They told me to be sure that I drank plenty that day, but then they ended up telling me that my bladder was too full. I thought I was going to die! I've never had to go to the bathroom so badly in my life!
Take care! Can't wait to hear the news!

Happy 3rd Birthday Angel Hayley!

((HUGS)) to your family...

Your Hayley is never far from my mind - even though I've never met her. I have a little girl who turned 2 in November...and when she was at the age where Hayley passed - well I CANNOT imagine losing her and just CANNOT imagine how you feel.... (((HUGS)) to you and your family. You are always in my heart & prayers.

You'll be in my thoughts today - hope your little boy or girl lets you peek & see if he/she is a boy/girl. :o) Either way I wish you a very healthy pregnancy, baby & a very long happy & healthy life with your newest bundle of joy. I'm sure Hayley has picked out just the right baby to be her new brother or sister.

That is a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics. I believe that our loved ones do guide us & watch over us....

I'm curious with the rest of you to see who Hayley sent to you- she had plenty of play time with him/her so it's gotta be fun person to be with! Either way-I know the baby will be just as beautiful and blessed and your Hayley. My prayers for your family are never ending.

Dear ones, I have thought about you so much this week. Sweet little "Hayley in Heaven" is such a special little girl and I truly cant wait to meet all of my Heavenly friends. Kilby says you are having a boy because her bday is the 7th and that is when girls are born. Oh well, I have no idea about her philosophy but thought it would make you smile. Still praying!

Dear Dayna,

Wow. I am sitting here with a lump in my throat because I haven't checked in on your family for a while, and something made me open Hayley's page, today. When I realized that it is Hayley's birthday, I knew that I had been sent here by an angel:)

I am sure that you are filled with so many mixed emotions, so please be gentle with yourself. Hayley was an angel here on earth, whose life truly made a difference to so many. I am glad that I opened your site today, so that I could tell you once again, how Hayley's smile still makes me smile!

You look radiant! Feeling the baby kick is one of the greatest feelings in the world, you are right about that! The funniest thing is towards the end of pregnancy when you can actually see a little foot imprinted on your belly. So much wonder!

Can't wait to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl! Thanks for sharing this wonderful time in your lives!

Love,
Debbie

It is so fun to see Dayna pregnant as we didn't know you guys in this stage before. The words to the song are amazing...I imagine the sound is incredible--must check it out. We are praying for comfort on Hayley's birthday and wishing you the most beautiful ultrasound EVER!
Thanks too for asking for picture for Rally. I love looking at Hayley on the opening screen especially. I shared it with the club I sponsor to raise money for Rally and the kids were motivated but very moved by Hayley. Thanks for sharing her.....she touches so many hearts.
Love, hugs, and prayers,

I'm so glad you are having a good pregnancy, and that Hayley will have a brother or sister soon; I can only imagine that a baby will help to heal your heart. Hayley and my daughter are a couple of months apart; Sophie will be 3 in May. I will keep you and your family in my prayers always. I hope it helps to know that even complete strangers were touched by Hayley, and prayed for her, and will continue to pray for you. God bless you.

Dayna, you are the cutest pregnant mommy ever! I am so excited that you and Alan are going to find out the sex...well, as long as the baby cooperates! Looking forward to hearing the exciting news. I can't believe that Hayley would be three. I am so sorry that she's not with you celebrating. I imagine her face would light up when she saw the big number 3 candle. I miss your girl. I will be thinking of you on her birthday. Always a special day, because that day you brought an angel into this world and changed us all forever.

Sincerely,

My prayers will be with you both as the day approaches and my hope is that you find a special way to celebrate the life of your incredible daughter. I am sure that the day will be a hard one. I can't imagine. Many of us will be thinking of Hayley and the impact she has made. I am looking forward to the news after the ultrasound! thank you for keeping a part of your journey.

You, Alan and especially Hayley are in my thoughts everyday, but especially this week. I'll be thinking of you and saying extra prayers.
I'm still amazed by Hayley everyday and I can't believe that a little girl that I've never met has touched my life in such a big way.
I hope that you'll continue to update this site once you have the baby. I'm really looking forward to reading stories about Hayley's brother or sister. Not to mention, continuing to get updates about you and Alan.

Reading you newest entry gave me goosebumps. I remember hearing this Josh Grobin song for the first time, while driving my car 3 days after my mom suddenly passed away at the age of 50. The lyrics obviously hit home and we had a wonderful singer sing it at her funeral a week later. I think it says it all: "Isn´t faith believing, all power can´t be seen?"

Hope you have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.

My thoughts and prayers are with you both as Hayley's birthday approaches; I so wish that she could be here with you, and I wish there were some words to explain or understand why she's not. I'm glad you'll find out soon if you're having a boy or a girl--it is hard to wait when you're excited to find out!

A truly gorgeous picture! I love pregnant women! I loved being one, and I look forward to having that opportunity again in the near future. Sweet Hayley and your family are on my mind often. I will say a special prayer for you on February 3. Hayley's birthday will always come around, and you will always find ways to honor it. You will never not miss her. And I think that's a good thing. Josh Groban is particularly gifted at putting life into song. I've heard that one on the radio and cried as I thought of those who aren't with us anymore in the way we'd like them to be. There are so many things to wonder about, aren't there?

I can't wait to hear the news about the baby! Your story is such a heartbreaking and heartwarming example of God's grace. Thank you for continuing to share with us!

I think of Hayley everyday - when I look at the sky on my way home from work, when I play with my daughter, when I put her to bed...and lately she has been chasing the cat. She'll shriek "kitty!" and chase after her and try to catch her tail. That definitely makes me think of your little cat chaser.
Take care! I hope all is going well. I can't wait for an update on the peanut!

I have a darling child that needs to be in the care of hospice. But, I can only listen and be available as I am called. You are a family that has served as my inspiration. Please pray for the strength I need. Hayley, thank you for listening to my prayers. What would I do if you were not in heaven guiding me? Is this one of the heavenly tasks given to you?:)

I'm getting teary-eyed thinking about the birth of the second baby Thomson as well. I can only tell you that the birth of my second was far more emotional for me because this time I understood just how much love I had and would grow to have for my baby. Just that fact alone had me crying much more at the second birth then the first. In so many ways, your first baby shows you how to love your second. So I am quite sure that Baby Thomson's birth will be an emotional day though I know it will be an overwhelming joy as well. My heart feels ready to burst thinking about the day that is to come for you!

The Brave Little Soul
By: John Alessi

Not too long ago in Heaven there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. He especially enjoyed the love he saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however, the little soul was sad, for on this day he saw suffering in the world. He approached God and sadly asked, "Why do bad things happen, why is there suffering in the world?".

God paused for a moment and replied, "Little soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks the love in peoples hearts". The little soul was confused. "What do you mean", he asked. God replied, "Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences, and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone.

The little soul began to understand and listened attentively as God continued, "The suffering soul unlocks the love in people's hearts much like the sun and rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately most people keep it locked up and hardly share it with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this-it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer-to unlock this love-to create this miracle-for the good of all humanity.

Just then the little soul got a wonderful idea and could hardly contain himself. With his wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied, "I am brave; let me go! I would like to go into this world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people's hearts! I want to create that miracle!

God smiled and said, "You are a brave soul I know, and thus I will grant your request. But even though you are very brave you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask for this and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help you create your miracle; however they will also share in your suffering. Two of these souls are most special and will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. They have already chosen a name for you.

God and the brave little soul shared a smile, and then embraced. In parting, God said, "Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear the pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be healed.

Thus at that moment the brave little soul was born into the world, and through his suffering and God's strength he unlocked the goodness and love in people's hearts. For so many people dropped their differences and came together to show their love. Priorities became properly aligned. People gave from their hearts. Those that were always too busy found time. Many began new spiritual journeys-some regained lost faith-many came back to God. Parents hugged their children tighter. Friends and family grew closer. Old friends got together and new friendships were made. Distant family reunited, and every family spent more time together. Everyone prayed. Peace and love reigned. Lives were changed forever. It was good. The world was a better place. The miracle had happened. God was pleased."

I am sure you will be blessed with another perfect, precious child. My heart still goes out to you and I get tears when I read about Hayley. It's strange, I never personally knew her, but I loved her all the same. I came to love her through your stories. Thank you for that. Thank you for sharing Hayley with us. It makes me hold my daughter closer and love her all the more. I wish you nothing but happiness with your new child.

Dayna...

Oh how I love knowing that Hayley *hand-picked* that perfect little soul just for you.

2006 is a GOOD THING. 2005 was also the worst year of my life as well and I pray neither of us will ever have to bear another year as painful.

If I'm taking my guess.. I get strong boy vibes. Ask Raquel sometime about my baby guessing ability! lol At any rate.. I'm sure HE will be perfect! :) *wink*

I can still close my eyes and remember the day I met Hayley. She was doing *laps* up on the floor with her grandpop. It was the day Kylie was diagnosed. She had eyes that went straight into her soul and I could just see her beautiful spirit. I still remember her so well and I only knew her for such a small time, yet she honestly did make an impact on my life. I do think about you guys all the time and you remain in my prayers.

It is so very hard to understand God's plan most days. We are, after all, only human and God knows and embraces the pain we feel. Hayley was cetainly God's child first and he loves her so very much.

Love and prayers,

Dayna:
You So need to post a pregnant picture of you! Jenny Scott did it and it was so neat to see the changes in her that she always posted about. I found Haylee through Jenny's posts long ago, and fell in love with that beautiful smile. You have no idea how much tighter I hug both my baby girls, and appreciate what God has given me more because of Allie and Hayley. THank you for sharing your Angel with us, and for continuing to share your life after. I have been truely blessed and inspired by your story. There will never be another rainbow here in Texas that does not make me think of Hayley.

I have to agree with everything another lady wrote and I was about to continue to be the reader and not the signer when I looked and saw that we are both from MN and then I knew it was my sign to sign. I fell in love with Hayley and your entire family as I watched you struggle through her illness and death with such love and dignity. You are truly the parents I ispire to be. You create such a loving home for you family. I wish you the best with your new little one. And I will continue to "check" on you. May 2006 be the one of the best years of your life!

I am sure your Haley is smiling down in anticipation of her new little brother/sister - every time I open your page I smile at that little cherub's face, what a gem she is! I hope 2006 brings many, many joyful moments. Please know your Haley is held in a special place in my heart and that your entire family is forever in my prayers.

I know the pain you are feeling as you just relived the anniversary date of Hayley earning her wings. Losing a child is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life. January will be three years for us, and yes is does ease up a little, but you still ache everyday to hold that child. You wonder what they would look like today, how tall, and what they would be doing. One thing we do know and we do not have to wonder is....where they are...right beside their Heavenly Father, forever safe, and sharing an eternal life. One day we will hold them again. God Bless You!
Always,

I was stopping by to wish you a Merry Christmas, but now I'm wiping tears away and trying to swallow the lump in my throat.
What a wonderful tradition you've started - from the video, to the eulogy, to the trip to the hospital. What a great idea to give gifts to those kids on Hayley's re-birthday.
I hope that you guys have a wonderful CHristmas and that you feel Hayley all around you. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers on Cristmas, as you are every night when I put my little girl to bed, wishing that you were doing the same.
Have a very happy New Year, as it will be filled with many great things, including Hayley's baby sister or brother. I hope that you're feeling well, Dayna.
Take care! We miss Hayley. I can't imagine how much you must miss her. (((hugs)))

Dear Dayna and Alan,

Praying that the flutter of your Hayley's angel wings, will bring more smiles than tears, in the years to come. Yes, she will always be your "first", and because of that, her little siblings will enjoy the sweetness and ease of a mommy and daddy who simply "know" what to do. You will always have the gift of the things that Hayley taught you, and for that, you will be even better parents. Hayley's little brother or sister will also receive that gift, through you, and so the circle(kirkle) continues with beautiful, meaningful continuity.

Hayley will never be forgotten. Along with the wonderful, albeit, way too short life that you were able to give her, her siblings will honor her life, with their own uniqueness, and blessed similarities.

May you find much peace in the beautiful memory of your first daughter. Her life was very important.

Love,
Debbie

Look at all these guestbook entries! And you were afraid Hayley would be forgotten - I guess you had no idea just how many people followed your journey and loved your little girl. I signed in on Monday, but I had to share with you something my son said this morning. (He's 3 1/2.) As we drove through some fog this morning, he exclaimed, "Look what Hayley painted today!" He thought the fog was just as beautiful as the rainbows and sunrises she paints for us!

Oh my goodness what a strong family you are. I followed Hayley through her last few days with your family. It is hard to believe how someone I don't even know can take such an emotional part of my life. I checked numerous times a day on her. It is hard to believe that a year has gone by. The strange thing is that I purchased THE VOICE cd that you mentioned on the web....this is no joke...Hayley's song has been playing every single morning when I wake up. My boys listen to the CD all night long and when I wake, I hear the piano and the voice of "the angels". This song gives me such comfort after losing my grandmother this past year. It was a very difficult point in my life. Hayley song brings such peace. Your family remains in our prayers!!!!

I planned on posting on the 19th, but there were no words. How does one post anything when they have no idea what to say and how to say it? I struggle with words because there is no way I can understand what you're going through. I try to imagine what it's like, but the pain I "think" I would feel...wouldn't be enough. Reading the eulogy reminded me of the deep sadness I had a year ago when I found out Hayley first passed. Your precious girl touched my life in more ways than you or I could both imagine. I don't know what it was about her...maybe chasing the cats...but she had me saving her site into my favorites from day 1. Dayna, you are an incredible mom. I so appreciate you keeping us informed on how you and Alan are doing. I am sure that it's difficult to post, but know we all appreciate it. I am so excited that Hayley has handpicked a new brother or sister for you two. No doubt that this baby will be loved and grow up and do amazing things...just like his/her big sister. I pray for an amazing pregnancy, and that you always feel Hayley close by. Merry Christmas and may 2006 bless your family in countless ways.

Sincerely,

I remember sobbing like a baby a year ago... and tonight I'm repeating the performance. But this time my sadness is mixed with joy... I just read that Hayley is going to be a big sister!!

I am so happy for you both, you deserve this joy in your life, and I have absolutely no doubt that Hayley is watching over all of you with that beautiful smile on her face that made the world fall in love with her.

Lots of love,

Dayna and Alan,
Re-reading what you wrote is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. You and your family are in our prayers. My daughter Chelsea was due on March 20th and was born on February 3, she is 15. When I first ran across Hayley's site, I felt as if we had a connection, due to our daughters' birthdate. I am so glad that she is in heaven and will always be a beautiful little angel. She will always be a guardian angel for your new baby. Have a peaceful Merry Christmas.

Dear Hayleys Parents

Wow, I said to myself, one year ago on the 19th of December 2004, time flies and then the first year doesnt really, but another year has come and gone for your family and from your Hayley!

I am also at the 22 month mark of losing my beloved daughter too, I found the first 12 months very surreal, I felt that half of me went with my daughter, I am now at the 22 month mark and have put myself into action mode!

I have set up Blankets of Love in memory of my daughter and the Angel Trinity Spirit Fund, you might just want to do that too in memory of your beloved Hailey! It has definately been the most healing and helpful time in my recovery from grief, and now I can help others in my daughters memory and the pain of her loss is lessened!

Sincerely,


Mother to Angel Trinity, Elaine

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, but I was praying for you, knowing it would be a tender day for you. I just re-read the comments about Hayley and they brought tears to my eyes--what a precious little one she was, and is! I'm so happy that the Lord has graciously blessed you with another soon-to-be born baby. His mercies are new every morning! May you continue to find His strength and His grace sufficient for your every need. Thank you that, even through tears, you continue to point others to Jesus. Your testimony is awesome!

Thank you for taking the time to write to all of us thinking of Hayley, too. I spent some time yesterday reading back through journal entries and read Alan's eulogy. Some entries made me smile, others brought tears to my eyes, but all of them reminded me of how special your daughter was. I will never hear the name "Hayley" without thinking of you. I will never draw a circle and not think of "kircles". I will never forget that big, infectious smile from Hayley's face, and I will never be able to go back to being the person I was before I "met" Hayley. What a blessing I have been privileged to take part in. I truely can not wait to met Hayley in Heaven one day and say, "thanks". I am excited for you both and the blessings God has instore for you and your family. I pray that the love of Jesus will outshine any darkness you feel. Your new "tradition" sounds just perfect. I, too, can see Hayley singing with the angels and sitting on our Savior's lap. With much love.....Merry Christmas

I am so glad you were able to take the time to post for us today. How selfless of you to think of all of us who had Hayley on our hearts. It was kind of neat to read Alan's eulogy and to realize that Hayley and I shared a due date and that she shares a birthday with my Mom. Just tiny little coincidences. But one thing we have in common that is not a coincidence is that my daughter born this last September was given the middle name Elizabeth in honor of Hayley. I've thought of Hayley countless times this whole year. Sometimes with sadness, sometimes with joy. And I will continue to remember her sweetness and her bravery in the years to come. I wish you nothing but peace and comfort this Christmas. And I look forward to the precious birth of Hayley's sibling in 2006. Much love to you.

Your family will always hold a special place in our hearts. As my first meal delivery, I remember leaving Scottish Rite wondering how in the world a parent could face what you were facing. And over the next few months...you showed me. Through your unwavering faith. Your belief that no matter how difficult it is to live on without her on earth, that you know you WILL see Hayley again. Please never forget that because of the life of your precious girl, and in sharing your journey to her heavenly reward, you have made me a better Christian, a better wife, and most of all, a better mother. With love and prayers for your continued strength.

I've read your website for a long time now. I'm just a stranger from the internet.

I just wanted you to know that I thought of her today. In fact, I was in a business meeting when someone mentioned the date, and immediately I thought of her three beautiful smiles that you posted about as she went to be with Jesus. It was hard to explain why my eyes suddenly filled with tears during a business meeting.

I am so happy for new gift you are expecting. I know Hayley will never be replaced, but your new little one will help fill the void of being parents again.

God Bless.

I can't believe its been a year since Hayley passed, I can't believe its been a year since my daughter was diagnosed with cancer. You see I found your sweet Hayleys website just a week or two after my daughter Isabella was diagnosed, not sure how but imagine by the many caringbridge links that make it such a special community. I instantly felt something so special when I looked at Hayley. My heart broke when she passed, I don't think it ever accord to me that children didn't survive, it was a huge smack of reality for me and I cried my eyes out for you both. My sister lived in Duluth, GA at the time and actually went to the service for Hayley, I was so touched that she did that for me, she knew how heartbroken I was and felt compelled to be there. She said it was beautiful.
I have continued to follow you the past year and have kept you all in my prayers, I rejoiced at the news of Hayley being a "big sister" and cried at the realization of just what that means.
I know I have grown imearsable understanding of what cancer is doing to children everyday, I hold my Bella closer than ever, I am thankful for every day I get with her.
Thank you for opening up your lives to us "strangers" I have learned so many lessons from your precious Hayley
God Bless You All

As I was getting him ready for preschool and my 2 yr old dressed and in the car, the "birthday cupcakes" for school fell on the floor! I swear Hayley was there giving me the extra strength I needed!! I smiled instead of crying (or yelling!) Her sweet, sweet face was RIGHT there...showing me what IS important and what is not...Thank you Hayley! We love you SO much! I will be PRAYING SOOO hard for your mommy and daddy these next few days, weeks, and months (and always!)

Hayley holds a special place in my heart, even though we have never meet. You see my son, Hayden, was born extactly one year after Hayley, 02-03-04. I was looking at him today running around chasing our cat and all I could think of was Hayley, I wondered if she showed him how. Your family has inspired me to be the mother I am today and on this very special day I want to say THANK YOU! There is not a day that doesn't go by that your family is not far from my mind.

Your faith in our Lord is so amazing and inspiring!

Dear Dayna and Alan,
I cried last year when I read Alan's eulogy, and I'm
crying again today. I've been thinking of you and your beautiful angel Hayley all day. I've been reading about your journey as long as I have been Allie's (since the beginning) and I'm sure these two precious angels are running around in heaven playing together like crazy! I can't imagine how difficult today must be on you, but I want you to know there are thousands of people praying for you and sending you their warmest thoughts, along with lots of hugs! I can't help but smile every time I see her gorgeous little face and read about her love of cats. I have a 21 month old daughter and she terrorizes my parents cats too and I always think of Hayley!
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and may the new year bring you lots of health, happiness and love! Can't wait to meet Haley's baby brother or sister!
Lots of hugs!

Dayna and Alan,

You are truly amazig parents. This new little one to join you soon will be so lucky to have you and Angel Hayley to guide hi/her. I have been thinking about you today and hoping that the day brought you great memories. It sounds like you have a beautiful tradition in honor of Hayley. It will be wonderful to share it with her siblings. I hope this next year brings you nothing but beautiful moments as the little one grows inside of you. Your meeting will be an amazing day.

Your family has been in our thoughts today. It is hard to believe a year has passed since your sweet baby went to live with Jesus. Even though we do not see you often, you are always in our prayers.

Thinking of you today....and remembering last year when I opened your page to learn of your angel's passing. My one year old son, sitting on my lap, smiled and pointed at Hayley's picture and said "Jesus", a word he had never said before (and not being very Christian, a word that we never used around the house). He knew in his little baby head where your beautiful little girl had gone or perhaps in some way he could see Jesus through your darling daughter. Witnessing your child's life and death through these pages has made me reexamine my religious beliefs over the last year. We've rejoined a church, baptised the children and are at least trying to make some sense of religion. I think about your family often and every time I see a rainbow, I think of Hayley --- I believe I always will for the rest of my life. May you have peace today on this most difficult of days.

Thanking God today for Hayley's life. Hope that you are looking through your scrapbooks and remembering all of the wonderful little details of Hayley. She is certainly looking down and loving every last detail of her Mommy & Daddy and new brother or sister. Just wish that you could satisfy that longing to hold her. But you will again, and we rejoice for that day when you will never again be seperated from your precious daughter. You are evermore in our thoughts and prayers. Hayley was just to wonderful to ever be forgotten, and she must have had a hand in today's sunrise. The pinks just seemed especially brilliant!

Dayna and Alan - Thinking of you today, and praying you through it. I know it must be tough. I just keep thinking about the conversations that Hayley must have had with God about the requirements SHE has for this new baby! I believe one of them may have went like this: "God, you know that there are not two better, well deserving people on the planet that I love more, so when you send them my new brother or sister, they have to be EXTRA special! They have been through so much, and tooks such good care of me during my short time on earth, please bless them GREATLY! They deserve it! Thanks God, you're the best!" May God give you an extra dose of peace and comfort today.

Thinking of you today and everyday. So clear in my mind where I was at last year at the time of Hayley's passing, I recall it was a Sunday and I had taken my kids to a Christmas function at church and we were singing "Silent Night" and Hayley just flooded my thoughts. I later learned that Hayley passed right about the same time we were singing that song. The pain I still feel for Hayley's passing is just as strong as it was a year ago today, surely not as strong as the pain you feel. God had bigger plans for your sweet little girl, I only wish someone would fill us in as to what they were. She should be here on earth, preparing to be a big sister, it's just not fair. Anyways, my thoughts and prayers are with you all as you mourn the one year of life without that sweet little girl.

The two of you and Hayley remain ever close in thoughts and prayers to myself and so many others. Though I cannot make today any less painful I can let you know that I remember Hayley. God graced us with her presence and gave us a glimpse of innocence in her gaze, true delight in her laugh and pure joy in her toddling into the hearts of all who came to know of her. Today especially I ask God to bless Hayley, her mommy, daddy and new baby.

fondly,

Alan & Dayna,
You are in my thoughts and prayers today, on this painful anniversary. I feel as though anything...everything I say would be inadequate, so I am just offering this prayer:
I pray that you feel God's love and presence in your life today. I pray that just as he holds Hayley in his arms, that you feel his heavenly arms around you today. I pray that you have peace, knowing Hayley is pain-free, chasing kitties around Heaven today. I pray that you find joy in Hayley's new sibling, may this baby help to heal your broken heart. I pray that you find some comfort, knowing that through your journal, Hayley has touched the lives of THOUSANDS...making many of us (myself included) better parents. Lastly, I pray that the days pass quickly until the time that you are reunited with your sweet girl. Thank you again for sharing your Hayley with us. It has been an honor to "know" her (and you), though we have never met.

Dear Dayna and Alan,
Just want you both to know that you are always in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers. I am so thrilled about your new little one on the way, as I'm sure Hayley is too. She will be the best angel big sister, and will keep him or her safe always. Hayley is so missed by my family and so many, many others. I love seeing her sweet, beautiful face when I come to her site. What a beautiful angel.....

Love,
Julie and Keira

I have thought of you so much during the last few days and Hayley's precious face is etched in my mind forever. I can not wait to meet her in person one day and share with her how her life changed mine. Isn't that crazy.....a small child of God, whom I've never met, teaching me, a 36 year old woman, new lessons. Thank you for allowing God to use you in the depths of your pain. I will be praying for you, as always, but especially in the upcoming days......with MUCH love and admiration

Dayna@Alan, It doesn't seem real that almost a year ago I came to Hayley's website to check on her and I was shocked to find that she passed away, I had tears streaming down my face. I remember my little girl who at the time was almost three asked me why my eyes where sick. I showed her the picture of Hayley and told that Hayley went to be with Jesus because she was sick. I told her that she is all better now. God Bless you and this new baby! Love,Sonya

I know you don't know me but, I wanted you to know what a profound impact Hayley's fight left in my life. It still brings tears to my eyes when I see her pictures and read your pain.... Hayley reminds me so much of my little girl that it just breaks my heart from one mother to another knowing what you must be going through..... even during this time of wonderous celebration of a new life coming into your world. I have purchased 2 of the CD's ... keeping one for myself and gave the other one as a gift... the music is really beautiful and it is even nicer knowing that my gift is also going towards the gift of a cure.

Many thoughts and prayers are being sent your way as your special angel keeps watch over you.

Still thinking of and praying for you often. The emotions and feelings you so eloquently write about strike such familiar pangs....I remember that first Christmas after Carolyn died and can still almost physically feel the anguish of those days. I think our Christmases will always be even more difficult because of the 19th being the day beautiful Hayley went to Heaven and the day that Carolyn was born. (She would have celebrated her eighth birthday this year). I was elated to read the news of your pregnancy. Your "angel with the tender heart" will bring you you so much happiness and joy. I'll be thinking of and praying for you over the next few weeks and especially on the 19th.

Thank you for sharing. I can relate with the xmas tree ornament, as we hung our Hayley's ornament on the tree this past weekend tears streamed down our face, how would we face Xmas without our prescious girl. Our Hayley was 14 when she passed away from Ewings Sarcoma just over a year ago. Xmas is the hardest season of the year, but it is also a time we light up our home with candles and brighten the heavens from our living room. We know Hayley is with us, and we look forward to the day we are all together again. But for the time being we will honor her memories and work with others who walk the same road we do.

god bless and good luck with your new prescious bundle. May all your hopes and dreams for a happy, healthy baby come true.

Follow Jenny Scott's lead. Allie's litle sister is over 5 weeks old now and I bet Jenny has had/is having many of the same thoughts you are about a new sibling. As always, when I read your posts (and Jenny's) I'm inspired and motivated to be a better Mother, friend and wife. You are truly amazing, full of grace and honesty.
Hayley remains in my thoughts and prayers as she watches over her family from Heaven.
Looking forward to hearing all about your pregnancy, your journey and eventually the welcoming of a new life into your hearts.

I hope you have peaceful holidays and many merry days to come with your new baby. My son Landon is just about the age Hayley was last year he is 21 months I could not imagine my life without him. Your daughter and your wonderful family taught me how precious life is and not to take it forgranted. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

As you experience the anniversaries of so many painful memories, I pray that you will find peace beyond measure. We remembered you and prayed for you in our Sunday School class this morning. We were discussing God's faithfulness as He writes the story of our lives...often using a different script than the one we would choose to use. The words to the song My Redeemer is Faithful and True are so precious!

As I look back on the road I've travelled,
I see so many times He carried me through;
And if there's one thing that I've learned in my life,
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.

My Redeemer is faithful and true.
Everything He has said He will do,
And every morning His mercies are new.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.

My heart rejoices when I read the promise
'There is a place I am preparing for you.'
I know someday I'll see my Lord face to face,
'Cause my Redeemer is faithful and true.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.

My Redeemer is faithful and true.
Everything He has said He will do,
And every morning His mercies are new.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.

And in every situation He has proved His love to me;
When I lack the understanding, He gives more grace to me.

My Redeemer is faithful and true.
Everything He has said He will do,
And every morning His mercies are new.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.

Dayna,
I must say that one of the things I'm truly thankful for is being able to read your postings that are always full of such warmth and grace. I am also thankful that you and Alan are our neighbors and that we've actually had the privilege of knowing you both...as well as Hayley.
I just have to tell you and post here that we were in Florida over Thanksgiving and on our drive home we saw two huge rainbows at once over the ocean! We were in such awe as neither of us had ever seen anything like it before. We obviously gave a big "thank you" to Hayley at that moment. It was an amazing and beautiful sight to behold - just like Hayley.
Take extra care of yourself as you and Alan prepare to bring another child into the world and begin a wonderful new chapter in your lives. I just can't wait to meet her, or him!
Love, thoughts and prayers...

I wanted to let you knwo that Little Miss Hayleybaby painted the most beautiful sunrise I have seen in a long time. The pinks ever so bright and powerful even the sun was pink. I instantly thought of sweet Hayley. I wish I could have taken a pic to share with you guys. It was truely breath taken.

Dear Dayna and Alan,

You should be VERY proud of what you achieved by holding the golf tournement in Hayley's memory. The money that you raised will do so much good for so many. Your generosity of spirit is something that I admire greatly. I am sure that Hayley is very proud of her mommy and daddy, as she smiles that contagious smile down on you from her special cloud.

No matter how bad things get, there are always things to be grateful for, and I am so happy to know that you have been blessed with that knowledge. How exciting the next six months will be for you, as you prepare for your sweet baby! Once again, I cannot tell you how overjoyed I am that you are having another child. You are such wonderful parents, and you deserve a houseful of pitter-pattering little feet to go along with the quiet flutter of angel wings that will always be there.

Love,
Debbie

Your last entry was beautiful and poignant. I hope your Thanksgiving has some bright moments even when you feel like you want to cry. Hayley is watching and she is putting her arms around you when you need it most. Bless you all and extra prayers are being said for the little one growing inside you.

Dear Dayna & Alan -
I came across this Scripture this morning in another context, and it so reminded me of where you are in your journey of grief: "And the Lord remembered Noah...and the waters subsided" Gen. 8:1.

It must have seemed that the flood would never end, but there did come a time for Noah's family when the waters began to recede. While the terrible and shocking memory of the flood and of lives lost (many of them probably dear to them) must never have left Noah and his family, they were also left with a knoweledge of God's grace and mercy in their lives that they'd never known before. I know from my own experience that the waters do recede - not meaning that grief goes away or that what people like to call "closure" really takes place. But the peaks of the mountains do begin to show and finally the beauty of creation is evident again.

It seems to me that you can often see the mountain peaks these days above the waters of the flood - and you have hope in your hearts once more. Perhaps it isn't a coincidence that this is also the story of the rainbow - and a reminder that God keeps His promises.

Thank you for your list of things for which you are grateful this Thanksgiving - it was such an encouragement. I pray the Holy Spirit - the dove of peace between God and man - will keep your hearts in Christ Jesus.

I have never met you nor did I know of Hayley. I came across your Caringbridge site through another about a month before Hayley's passing. I have kept up with it because I find that your entries are so inspirational. You two have shown how love and faith can help you through the worst of times and I thank you for that. Congratulations on your upcoming arrival, I am sure that Hayley will be one proud big sister.

Your last entry just put a knot in my stomach and brings fresh tears about what I remember from this time last year. I cannot imagine hearing those words about your child and how brave and caring you were to withstand those last few weeks. Hayley will have a special place in everyone's home and heart who knew her and are coming to know her still and even moreso at this time of year. Peace and prayers to you, my dear friends.

Thomson Family, you all continue to amaze me with your strength and resilience. Hayley was truly a little Angel on Earth and I know she is truly an Angel in Heaven looking out for you all at each turn. I know that the littlest Thomson on the way is being well looked after by big sis Hayley right now until he/she makes their debut next summer. You all are in my thoughts and prayers often.

Thinking of you both as your Thanksgiving holiday is near - Hayley is so lucky to have had such great parents as you both and I'm sure she is teaching her new sibling to be all sorts of neat tricks especially how to chase cats. Take care and remember there are lots of people who are thinking of you and your Angel as the holidays approach.

Reading your entry has filled me, too, with many emotions for you. I can not imagine the wide range of feelings you must be feeling-Reading your words, I close my eyes and get a glimpse of how it must feel to lose the most precious gift you've been given on this earth. I will say extra prayers for you during the upcoming seasons to have the strength to live in the present, yet remember with joy the gift of your daughter. Thank you for the memories you shared of Hayley last Thanksgiving.....how she could have done all of that during Thanksgiving week is incredible. She was a determined little girl! I, too, am thankful for so many things and I can say that Hayley will be at the top of my list which may seem strange since I never met her, but I am thankful that God allowed me to share a piece of her while on earth. That God allowed me to see a new side of "daily blessings" and has taught me to see everyday things in a new light.....thanks to Hayley and her God-filled parents. Many blessings to you and your family....
(can't wait until February!)

Taking my four year old to the doctor today, he shouted, "Look mommy, there's a rainbow. I'm so exciting!" I instantly thought of Hayley, smiled, and thought of you. Many, many prayers for a healthy pregnancy and an even healthier baby in June. I'm glad you'll have something positive to see you through the tough couple of months ahead. Congratulations, and God bless you, Alan, and that precious blessing growing inside you!

I pray God will provide His abundant grace to you, Alan and your families through the next several weeks as you relive Hayley's last days here with you. It is so heart-wrenching to think of what you have been through...
I am so thrilled that God has chosen to bless you with another miracle! I pray for a wonderful, joyous, healthy pregnancy and baby!
May God bless you with His perfect peace that surpasses ALL understanding during this holiday season.

As I wrote in Catie Wilkins's guestbook, I want to thank you for continuing to share your journey. Because of you and so many others, childhood cancer has become a cause to which I will always contribute in any way I can. You have all made me a better and more appreciative mommy to my baby Samantha. I know that what happened to you could happen to any of us...any time. The perspective you share helps me live each day bigger, wider, and more free. Thank you!

So often, your journal entries bring me to the brink of tears, but tonight, they flow freely. Hayley's legacy includes showing us all, through her sweet, loving, gracious parents, how to live, how to be thankful and faithful, how to love. I am so honored to know you, to call you friends. I wish I had known Hayley more than I did, but her spirit lives on through you so powerfully. Thank you for continuing to share of yourselves and, in so doing, for reminding us how to live with our eyes on what is truly important.
Love,
Kristin

What a beautifully written journal, Dayna. I too prayed so earnestly for the doctors to be proven wrong and for God to touch precious with an earthly healing. I just knew she was the one for that. I have since prayed for you and Alan each and everyday. As broken as my heart has been for all of you I know that yours is broken so very much more. So many things remind me of your sweet Hayley. My children know her name and each time Kilby(3yrs.) loses a balloon, she says, "Its okay mommy, Hayley in Heaven can have it." Such a simple example but a sincere one. I see pink skies or sometimes a rainbow and always say a prayer for peace and comfort for you two. I have prayed so many times for you and the new baby. I cant wait to share in the joy of this little bundle of hope and love. I hate that I have learned many lessons at your expense but Hayley's journey has taught me so much about living and the importance of each and everyday I have with my children. I know this is long but I truly care for you and Alan and want to somehow convey my heart. I am in awe of you as I read your list of thanks. God bless you today and always!

Dayna and Alan,
Your entry today moved me to tears. I cannot imagine how bittersweet those days were with Hayley. I remember reading your entries then and thinking that you were the strongest people that I knew. I continue to pray that God wraps his arms around you especially at this time of year. I cannot wait to hear all about your new little one.

I first met your little girl (through your words)right around this time last year. I had never even heard of Caringbridge before.....Boy, I fell in love with Hayley right away! I prayed SOOO,SOOO hard for that miracle to have her stay with you! I truly believed all of our prayers were going to be answered and was so very angry, hurt and sad when I realized God had other plans....I still don't understand it.... I have honestly thought about and prayed for you EVERY single day since..

My little girl, Hannah, is 2 and reminds me so much of Hayley which is so funny since I only "know" her by your words and pictures. My niece's name is Kaleigh...My entire family (including myself!)at one time or another combine the names and call one of the girls HAYLEY! (H..+...aleigh) I SMILE every single time! I can just see her face!

Please know your little girl will ALWAYS be remembered and thought about by so many people who never even met her.

I am praying so hard for you this week and those coming....Please hug each other and support each other the best you can.

Congratulations on such a sucessful event! I know Hayley was honored in an incredible way and how awesome that you raised so much money for the BEST cause I can think of. I think of you and Alan so often and want you to know that your journey still is making an impact on my life and those around me. They all know about an incredible girl named "Hayley". I choose to honor her often by telling her story so that others will be moved to make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer and see "life" in a different "light". You, my friends, are the cream of the crop and your daughter was one of a kind. What a legacy she has left behind. I know these words could never ease any of your heartbreak, but we sincerely love your family. We are still praying for that precious baby......take care of yourself. Remembering Hayley always...

This baby will be so lucky to have wonderful parents like you both. My wish is for a wonderful, happy pregnancy and healthy child in late June. This news has made my day...:}

I'm completely beyond happy for you....maybe thrilled or ecstatic would be a better word. I can't think of a couple that deserves it more or will be better parents. I'm sure little Hayley is jumping for joy in heaven. She probably kept little bro/sis up there a while for instructions in chasing cats, finding circles, using stickers, and especially snuggling up to Mom and Dad with all the love in the world. Congratulations and many well wishes and prayers for a safe pregnancy.

PS: Should we alert Gymboree now?

Hello Thomsons, this is Brenda...you don't know me, but I found your site through others that I check on every day and have kept track of Hayley for about a year. My boyfriend Danny is a Hodgkins survivor, got through a stem cell transplant, and he's very active with Camp Sunshine. Knowing him inspired me to keep tabs on all these precious kids fighting cancer. He was the first one I called just before Christmas last year after I read the news of Hayley's passing. I wanted to let you know how incredibly HAPPY I am for you both with your new wonderful news!!!!!! I know for sure Hayley's bouncing around in heaven right now and will be watching over her new little brother or sister! :) You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, I hope all continues to go well with your new bundle of joy. :)

Dear Dayna & Alan,

This is the first time I have posted on your guestbook, but I’ve been following your journey for almost a year now. I learned about your family from Jenny Scott’s website. Hayley’s story really touched my heart and I just wanted to let you know that I think about you and pray for you often. In fact, just last night I prayed that God would bless you with another child. Since I was thinking about you last night, I decided to check up on you today and I was absolutely overjoyed to hear your news!!!! I am so happy for you!!! Thank you for sharing your lives and your news and please keep us updated in the months ahead! Wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy – Dawn.

Yes, she will be jumping up and down and clapping wildly. I will certainly be praying for a very calm, relaxed preganancy for you and I know you will soon hold a healthy, very loved little baby in your arms. Your anxiety is normal - through fear, I waited 12 long years to try again and I was blessed 21 months ago with a beautiful red-headed princess called Emily. God Bless you both. You so deserve this. xx

I know that Hayley will NEVER be replaced.....Hayley will now be enhanced. Yes, that is a good word. I also pray that you and Alan will be blessed again and again and again, if that is the desire of your heart. You have a wonderful gift to look forward to now. Only another child can fill that empty place. Hayley's sister or brother will be incredibly special. Perhaps there will be one of each....you never know!!!!! Hayley must be happy because you and Alan are so happy.

Dayna and Alan,
You may not remember me, but my 4 year old son Daegen passed away from AML, 3 months ago. I have followed your story for a long time, and have anxiously waited to hear your wonderful news. I am thrilled for you two and I know as well as anyone, that nothing can truly ever take the pain away after losing a child. I struggle with this pain on a daily basis, but I also know that having another child helps me to get out of bed each day. Therefore, I am grateful to God for blessing you with another child and giving you hope that you will somehow find some joy in your life. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. I am so happy, you would think that I know you personally. I am so touched by this news. God Bless.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful news!! I am so thrilled to hear how God has blessed you with another child and Hayley with a sibling. I am also overjoyed to hear that you have experienced your first truly joy-filled moment since last December. God is good. You have so many more to look forward to, "hope" is such a wonderful gift from God. Congratulations!!

Yippee! Yeah! I'm so excited that I'm crying! I have been praying fervently for another baby to bless your lives. We all know that this baby will not replace Hayley, but maybe she will have her contagious laugh or maybe he will have her sweet smile. Something special that will remind you of Hayley every time you look at him/her. My prayers are that God keep you and this baby during the next 9 months. I am so looking forward to this baby making his/her entrance into the world! We celebrate with you Dayna and Alan! God bless you THREE and Angel Hayley!

Congratulations! I stopped visiting your site a few months ago when I just got too busy, but tonight, I remembered you and came back for a quick check in. I am so glad I did! What awesome news to read! You deserve this so much. Your child will truly be a beautiful child.

Has it really almost been a year? For an adult, every year is the pretty much the same, so to get through the first year without an adult is difficult because you are going through so many "firsts", but then after that, I can see how things might get easier. But that is not so with a child. Every year is different and new and full of "firsts". Kindergarten, every year a new grade, every birthday, every Halloween, every Christmas. Each one would have been different and new. Yes, the one year is approaching, but that really only means that it has been far too long since Hayley has been here.

I am glad to know that there will be happiness and joy in your house once again though.

I am also a good friend to Madie Ice. I have often wondered if and when you would have another child. Glad to hear the GOOD NEWS!!! You so deserve some happiness in your life.

I am so happy for your whole family!! I lost a baby during pregnancy after my first child was born. I longed to have another baby (but I was frightened that the same thing would happen). I was blessed a year and half later with a healthy baby boy (Davis) and then to our surprise, another baby 2 an half years later (Matthew is my post-cancer miracle). We love all of our children, those here we get to enjoy and sweet Jake looking down from us from Heaven. The brothers/sisters don't replace, they enhance! I have prayed many times for you all to be blessed with a second child....there is a very lucky baby growing in there :)!
Congratulations! I would tell you the time goes by fast, but it will be sad and long at times....but the end result is worth it! I will be sending my prayers for a healthy pregnancy!

My goodness there were so many words that I prayed to read on Hayley's site, when it became evident that I would never read some of them I began praying for the next best words I could hear, that Hayley had finally chosen herself a baby brother or sister. My heart is full to know that you will again hold a baby and that you will be able to tell your precious little one about their amazing and corageous older sister.

Dayna and Alan you have written truly some of the most eloquent words I have ever read - I am so happy for both of you and know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sweet Thomsons,

I began following your site many months ago; before Hayley's relapse and ultimate homegoing and, since then hold your family so very close to my heart. Over these months, your words have taught me so much and made me appreciate my own children more (even in their not-so-lovable moments; not to mention my own). I have cried many tears sitting at this spot and today I am so honored to rejoice with you. I've been praying for that little Angel Tenderheart (love the book) and can hardly wait to hear every detail in the coming days/months.
Congratulations and God Bless You!

I know it has been hard waiting but Hayley had to find just the right one!! Please take it easy and know our prayers are with you. I know we have never met, and you probably have never met half the people that post here, but please know that we all fell in love with Hayley and became your friends in bad times and now good times. I think God puts people in our lives for a reason and I'm glad to "know" your family.

Hey guys, I was reading a book last night, and you immediately came to mind. David Wiersby in his book, "Gone but not Lost," which was written for those grieving the death of a child, writes,"God's response to death is always life. That doesn't mean He gives another child when one dies. It means that out of the sorrow and ruin of your 'other' life, God gives you a new life." Though we still grieve and mourn for you in your loss, I am looking with excitement and great joy to this new life that God has given you - both in the form of a new child, and also a new future for you. This truly is a blessed event indeed!
Much love!

We are absolutely thrilled for you!!! I have been following Hayley's story since last year before she died and I have prayed for this news for you two since the day she went to heaven. When I told my children, who pray every night for a baby for you, they were jumping up and down and screaming! We will fervently pray for a healthy, happy, wonderful pregnancy and a beautiful, healthy baby. What wonderful parents this little baby is blessed to have! I pray the anniversary of Hayley's death will be a little easier to bear knowing that her little sister or brother is on the way. Thank-you for sharing your wonderful news with us!!!
God bless you and your new little miracle!

I had a good feeling about checking this site today - I'm so glad you are getting to experience the physical aspect of being parents again. Through all the tears and pain - you finally can feel joy again. I've prayed for this news for months, knowing God is in complete control. What a blessing it will be to welcome another child into your home and watch s/he grow into a wonderful person who can share your love of Hayley through memories...as a family.
God bless you both.

All of our children are gifts from God, but this baby is the most special of gifts. You know that we hold you close in prayer every single day, and we are so thrilled to be able to add prayers for an event-free pregnancy and healthy baby in June to our list.
We love you so much!
Kristin

Writing again after many visits to your webpage. Praise God for sunsets and rainbows! Praise God for all tiny glimpses and hints of the joy that is to come. Sometimes when I hold my baby daughter, I think of you and your little one. I am constantly aware that what happened to you could happen to any family--even mine. When I think of this, I feel so heartbroken that I can barely breathe. I imagine you feel this way more days than not. You're in my thoughts and my prayers. Thank you for keeping this dreadful disease at the forefront of my mind. I will do what I can to help researchers find a cure.

Dear Friends,
I can't imagine living a single day, much less a year without my precious child. We are so sorry it has been such a heartbreaking one, and would give anything to make the days a little brighter. Please know we are here in love for anything you need, especially as the colder days bring painful memories of last fall.

Good luck Alan! If anyone can move a room full of people, it is you. We've seen it several times, and know you will honor sweet Hayley in the most touching and gentle way.

Love always,

Hey Dayna and Alan- Have checked on you millions of time in the last months but haven't taken the time to write. We think of you often and realize that it could have been us experiencing the lost of our Haley. She was cancer free for 1 yr 1 month, we had surgery for the 6th time 10-10 and they removed 2 cancerous tumors. We are having a ct and bone scan Wed. and see what kind of treatment we are going to have. Thank you for you words of wisdom and being able to express yourself so eliquently (sp) you have a gift. We are always praying for you. much love - Kathy & haley

Dear Hayleys parents!

You are not alone, I miss my little one too, it has been 20 long months, they say time heals, but time also hurts, hang in there together, just like we do!

God bless you both!

You have a wonderful deposit in Heaven!

Dear Dayna,

I just wanted to say that I really don't think people mean to make you feel like you "accomplished" something with "surviving" this past 10 months without your precious Hayley. I know that when I leave journal entries on this site and the few other families that I pray for...sometimes it's really hard to find the right words. I am always worried that I would be "that" person to say the wrong thing. I pray for you and Alan on almost a daily basis. I pray that God continues to use you both in the search to cure childhood cancer. Good luck at the golf tournament as well. I know that the event will be a success!

Sincerely,

A loyal Hayley follower...

Continuing to pray for you and praying for Alan's speech next week, but I KNOW it will be magnificent and will help raise money and awareness for childhood cancer. When I heard Alan speak at Hayley's memorial service, I knew without a doubt that while the job was not one desired or requested, Alan would make many more speeches that would have a huge impact on people's lives and on fundraising for childhood cancer.

I pray for your strength and for blessings here on earth that will make your days without Hayley just a little more bearable!

Love in Christ,
Carol

Dayna and Alan: It's so wonderful to see an update from you. It's so hard for us out here, praying for you and hoping upon hope that you are ok, and realize just how much of an impact Hayley had on our lives. She isn't here with us now in body, but even I feel her spirit every time I open this page. Oh, how I wish that this was easier for you, although I can't imagine how it could be.

Last night I participated in the LTN here in my hometown. I honored Hayley by wearing a label and decorating my banner with her name. She will NEVER be forgotten. She is the most magnificent angel Heaven has.

We are still out here, still rooting for you...still holding you up in prayer. Still thinking about your little darling, we all miss so dearly!

God Bless you!

I am still amazed at how many lives Hayley still touches. There honestly is not a day that goes by that something doesn't remind me of her. I pray for you and Alan many times and know that those prayers are reaching the most capable, loving Lord. I just hope that you are able to feel those prayers of comfort and support. I can not imagine your days and especially those "anniversary" dates. I love what you wrote about everyday being one day closer to being with Hayley. That is SO true. I can not wait to meet her in person one day and thank her for being used by God to change a frivilous, too-busy, absorbed mom to a new person who thanks God everyday for the small blessings here on earth and tries to look for the "here and now" in what she does. I've learned to appreciate the little things and love my children every chance I get. And a big thank you to her parents who have shown us what it means to really TRUST in the midst of hell. I'll be praying for Alan as he prepares for his speech. I KNOW God will use it to touch even more hearts for eternity. You guys are never far from my prayers....

I agree with you that some if not most people think that after a year, you should move on to another subject. It does not work like that. Hayley will always be close to your heart. No amount of time can erase that! What an insult to even suggest that Hayley was not the most important gift to you as a couple. When God handed Hayley over to you......that was quite a sacrifice on his behalf. Only God loves Hayley more than you, Alan, Linda,Lynda and Dennis. Thank God...Hayley is with someone who is loving all over her right now. I love all the Bible verses that speaks directly on the subject of how much Jesus loves children.

We're praying that as you relive the next two months, and the months after, that the Lord holds you in the palm of his hand. We can't imagine how much harder each day must get as you approach the year anniversary and all of the days after. Please know that while we'll never know your pain of losing Hayley, our family has already started reliving our sadness again as we came to love Hayley during these months last year. We sure do wish we had magic fairy dust to throw your way:)

I continue to think about and pray for you often. It is always so wonderful to come onto the site and see your updates. I will be praying for Alan as he shares Hayley's story; what an amazing story it is! I came by her site right around this time last year and was so touched by the fight she put up, her beautiful smile, and your whole families amazing strength. Everytime I see a rainbow or look into the smiling face of a baby girl, I think of her.

Just stopping in to say hi!
My husband and I took a road trip over the weekend. On the way home I saw the most beautiful cloud I've ever seen and the first thing that popped into my head was Hayley. I swear, the cloud was shaped like a swan. That in itself was amazing to see. But the cloud was not just a white cloud - it was rainbow colored. Really. Just a splash of rainbow across the cloud. I'm glad my husband witnessed it as well. I've never seen such a thing. I tried to take a picture, but the rainbow didn't show up. Weird. Anyway, it knew it was your little rainbow painter up there playing! That same night, the entire sky was pink at sunset and I thought of Hayley, Allie, and Avery up there painting the sky.
I couldn't help but get tears in my eyes for all the parents that are missing thier babies.
Take care! Still sending that baby dust!

I thought of Hayley a million times today....which means I thought of her special parents, too. There were so many little things....a new song I heard on the radio, seeing a little girl blowing bubbles, seeing a commercial with a girl with a huge smile....I think God was reminding me of what a special gift Hayley was to so many. i think of you both so often and pray that you are somehow strengthed by the many people who care and love you. I know each day is a new "journey".....I'll still be praying for "safe travels". With MUCH love...
