Welcome to our Aislinn Celeste McComsey's web page. Her name translates from Celtic to mean "Beautiful Dream from the Heavens" which she truly is. We hope that our daughter's story will help other grieving parents find comfort. Though Her life in this world was very short, she blessed us with pure Happiness & Love! She is well missed and thought of daily! Please help us keep her memory alive!!
Aislinn's Story
On a warm autumn's morning, I called my friend Rose to let her know it was time as John was at work! Time to head to the hospital as my contractions were 2-3 minutes apart. Though 16~1/2 hours of labor & delivery time seems like a very long & painful experience, It was all worth it!! On Tuesday, September 23, 2003 at 11:24pm, our little girl arrived into our loving arms. She was our perfect healthy little baby, weighing in at 7lb 8oz & 19 1/4 inches long. Everyone who came to see our new bundle of joy, fell in love at first sight! Our lives filled with love had so many hopes and dreams for her. Aislinn loved being held and was very content when Mommy or Daddy would hold her close to our hearts. She would try to give us smiles to show how happy she was, so that is how she earned her nickname of our "Sunshine".
Little did we know that our precious little baby girl would not live to see her first Christmas. On Wednesday, December 3, 2003 at noon I found Aislinn motionless in her crib. I ran to call 911 and they arrived within 2 minutes. The EMTs did all they could to revive her but when they could not, they rushed her by ambulance to the Hospital. After about 1 hour of waiting in a private room, the Dr. came in and told us he was very sorry but she did not survive. Our lives came to a crashing halt! Shock and disbelief over came us all as we could not believe that our healthy little girl died so unexpectedly. I kept demanding and saying over and over again, "I want my baby girl back, I need to rock her to sleep". Our Christmas plans were all shattered as all of Aislinn's first X-Mas gifts were already bought and wrapped. We felt like we could not go on with our lives without our baby girl. How could we, we felt a part of our hearts died with her and we would never be the same.
It has been almost eleven years since our precious Angel passed away. We have had to deal with and overcome many hurdles through the months and years. We have taken many steps forward in our road of grief with help from Family, Friends, and Local Support groups. I attend the "Share" support group for pregnancy & infant loss and Compassionate Friends. They have lead me in the right direction by compassionate friendships and strong understanding. She was only here a short time, but touched our lives so tremendously. Now, our beautiful dream waits for us in heaven, where we will someday spend all of eternity together again.
~Aislinn Forever Loved & Missed! Forever my Angel~
