I believe this fully and totally.&amp;nbsp; I am glad you are able to find the silver lining in this experience.&amp;nbsp; And I am glad you found the gratefulness familyhood.&amp;nbsp; Sending love, liliwings.  &lt;br&gt;  </description><link>http://my.gratefulness.org/fb.ashx?m=31460</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2009 01:53:02 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re:Please Light A Candle For This Baby :*( (mamaluvskids)</title><description>  &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;My heart is so broken. I can't believe that someone could make up something like this. The pain that we all feel who have lost a baby/child is so hard to cope with and deal with. I just can't imagine making something like this up to get attention. Although, it did bring lots of people together for prayer and etc. It just saddens me that people do this for attention when they could get attention in other ways. Maybe we ought to pray and keep in out thought the people who make thes stories up. You&amp;nbsp; and I all know that there are so many people going through this for real and the pain that they are feeling, I can't even begin to imagine. Sandra,. my heart goes out to you and so many others who have had to deal with the heartache and grief like this. I know what it feels to lose 3 babies to miscarriage but having your baby and then being told that your baby is not compatible to like has to be like a dagger in your heart. I will still light a candle for te ones who are really going through their babies nopt being compatable to life "for real". Love ALways, Joya&lt;/font&gt; </description><link>http://my.gratefulness.org/fb.ashx?m=31401</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:17:55 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re:Please Light A Candle For This Baby :*( (lilsparrow)</title><description>  The real 'fool' in all of this &lt;br&gt;      is the poor, misguided soul &lt;br&gt;      who thought that this would be a fun thing to do . . . &lt;br&gt;      for all of us who were 'fooled' &lt;br&gt;      it was an exercise in love and compassion &lt;br&gt;      that reaches beyond tomfoolery. &lt;br&gt;      &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      Somewhere &lt;br&gt;      someone is going through this very thing right now, &lt;br&gt;      as others have gone through it before. &lt;br&gt;      Perhaps little April Rose is a symbol &lt;br&gt;      of the power of love &lt;br&gt;      in spite of the trick. &lt;br&gt;  </description><link>http://my.gratefulness.org/fb.ashx?m=31377</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:06:24 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re:Please Light A Candle For This Baby :*( (sandra67)</title><description>  &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Dear Cindy&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;I am very sorry that such evil evil 'people' can do such a thing.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;My own precious child had an illness just like this little one was suppose to have.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;It really hurt me to think another family had to suffer what I&amp;nbsp; and others went through.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;I did wonder why the child was born at home when they knew just how sick she was.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Things did not add up but like you I felt compassion and heartache for this family.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;God help those sick individuals I just pray in my heart and soul they never feel the&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;pain I felt when I was told my precious child had hours to live.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;You are a kind and gentle soul and my heart goes out to you and all of those people&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;who are effected by this.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Jesus&amp;nbsp;give me strength and understanding &amp;nbsp;to see why things like this happen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Take care of yourself,Sandra xx&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;  </description><link>http://my.gratefulness.org/fb.ashx?m=31353</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:28:37 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re:Please Light A Candle For This Baby :*( (Hildegard)</title><description>  Dear Ciindy, &lt;br&gt;      &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      Thank you for sharing with us this troubling information.

The baby is not real, the parents are not real and Kelli (who posted updates on their blog, my name is Cindy) is either not real, or in on the whole thing. All of us in the blog world who invested countless months, hours and some sent gifts of items and money...are all truly broken today. The one thing we are thankful for though, this situation brought many people together, who may have not met, if not for the April Rose blog. We've learned to pray for one another in times of need, or even just because. I want to thank each of you for your prayers, thoughts and being with me through this journey.  &lt;br&gt;   &lt;br&gt;  I will be back...as a child advocate, there's endless little ones in need of prayer and candles. I may just begin a thread for all the little children I have 'met' and continue to 'meet.' &lt;br&gt;   &lt;br&gt;  God belss each and everyone of you! &lt;br&gt;  (((HUGS))) &lt;br&gt;  Cindy aka G'Ma~rella &lt;br&gt;  </description><link>http://my.gratefulness.org/fb.ashx?m=31346</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2009 22:46:07 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re:Please Light A Candle For This Baby :*( (lilsparrow)</title><description>  Dear Kelli . . . &lt;br&gt;      I see that April Rose's blog is gone. &lt;br&gt;      I hope that you will return and let us know . . . &lt;br&gt;      in the meantime &lt;br&gt;      my heart is with her, you, and this family &lt;br&gt;      with love . . . &lt;br&gt;      sparrow &lt;br&gt;  </description><link>http://my.gratefulness.org/fb.ashx?m=31331</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:15:11 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re:Please Light A Candle For This Baby :*( (sandra67)</title><description>  &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Dear Grandmarella &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;I am so sorry to welocme you to Gratefulness under such sad circumstances&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;My thoughts have been with this family all weekned&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;no words can ever describe the pain and love they feel&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;right now for each other.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Take care and thank you so much for caring ~your heart is so pure.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;D God protect them all always &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Sandra xxxxxxxx&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;font face="times new roman"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;br&gt;      &lt;img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk54/paddycakes_2008/babycandle.jpg"&gt; &lt;br&gt;      &amp;nbsp;  &lt;br&gt;  </description><link>http://my.gratefulness.org/fb.ashx?m=31325</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2009 16:09:31 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re:Please Light A Candle For This Baby :*( (lilsparrow)</title><description>  Dear Kelli . . . &lt;br&gt;      Thank you so much for sharing this little miracle of life. &lt;br&gt;      Such a gift~April Rose . . . &lt;br&gt;      Her parents must feel &lt;i&gt;so blessed &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;      for these special moments &lt;br&gt;      with love . . . &lt;br&gt;      sparrow &lt;br&gt;  </description><link>http://my.gratefulness.org/fb.ashx?m=31214</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2009 08:27:44 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re:Please Light A Candle For This Baby :*( (buttington)</title><description>  Prayers go out and candles lit for April Rose and her family. &lt;br&gt;      &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      Thank you for sharing this with us here. &lt;br&gt;      &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;      Blessings to all, &lt;br&gt;      Love, Jude &lt;br&gt;  </description><link>http://my.gratefulness.org/fb.ashx?m=31203</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2009 04:19:41 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re:Please Light A Candle For This Baby :*( (liliwings)</title><description>  I will light another candle for April Rose and her mommy and daddy.&amp;nbsp;  &lt;br&gt;      Thank you for keeping us updated.&amp;nbsp; With love, liliwings &lt;br&gt;  </description><link>http://my.gratefulness.org/fb.ashx?m=31199</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2009 02:49:39 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re:Please Light A Candle For This Baby :*( (mamaluvskids)</title><description>  Grandmarella, welcome to the forum.
