Daley Ponderings

Pittsburgh vehicle drivers need to learn the law. A guy swerved into me on my bike today. I honked at him, but he continued into my path. I yelled at him, and he stopped and got out of his car and made like he was going to do something. He then decided better of it (I guess I must have been... (More)

Jon says it's pretty much pointless to try to correct most of the wrong details that the media prints, but I did want to say that Isaac was born on November 21, 2002 and died on November 23, 2002. Only one channel/paper had that wrong last year, but now it's on all the stations and papers. (More)

I found a decent article that was written today.Clients, even Amish, supporting midwife charged in baby's death JENNIFER C. YATES Associated Press PITTSBURGH - A midwife charged in the death of a baby is getting support from former clients and friends, and even from members of the Amish... (More)

I thought I would be writing this post to say how great Lingo is, and how you should all sign up for their service. They answer their phone within a couple rings, no matter when I called, and sounded like they would be able to fix any technical problems I had. However, after spending hours on... (More)

Well, I guess I spoke too soon last week. Search and arrest warrants were filed today for Judy. Apparently, they took her files and computers and stuff, and expect her to turn herself in tomorrow. Her lawyer has asked for a $10,000 deposit (I forget what the lawyer word for that is), so I... (More)

Born: November 18th, 2003 -- 6:20AM Not much here yet, will get around to that hopefully soon (where "soon" means sometime before he is 20). Here are some pictures to start! (More)

I had a revelation today. While we felt very supported back in November, we have recently been more feeling on our own. Certainly, people want to care for us, and probably don't know how to do that. But, I think the bigger issue is that most people we know do not agree with our decisions about... (More)

Statement of Purpose We gather before God in remembrance of the life and death of this child of God, Isaac Christopher Daley. We come to praise God for life in the midst of death; for God's good understanding in the face of bewildering sorrow; for the sharing of comfort with one another;... (More)

There was a funeral held today for Isaac in Old Saybrook, CT. Many members of our family were there, as well as a couple friends. The text of the bulletin is below. My grandfather led the service and a meditation on our hope and expectation of life after death for ourselves. There were many... (More)

We went to the CORE ceremony today. The ceremony was for donors and recipients of organ donations from 2002. Isaac's heart valves were collected and frozen for future use. They have not yet been transplanted into anyone yet, but I guess they can be stored for a couple years and they will still... (More)

These songs were sung at the memorial service, and have been very meaningful to us Thanks to the writers and composers for providing a means of God's grace with these words. In Christ Alone Stuart Townend and Keith Getty, ©2001 Thankyou Music In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my... (More)

Copyright ©2003 Linda Wightman When they put the sugar back into baby food, I should have known it was a bad sign. Progress is often a tidal creek, not a river. Advancement is not inevitable. We gain in one era, or in one area, and lose in another.... (More)

A number of you have asked why is this happening, ie. how did the district attorney, coroner, homicide detective and police officers get involved in the first place. Good question. One might wonder... Whenever 911 is called involving a baby, they send police officers along with medical support,... (More)

We are continually amazed at how God has prepared us for this time. Sometimes we just sit back and laugh, at how God has taught us various scripture over the last couple of months, and while they had some meaning then, were really meant for now. And how He gave them to various people to share... (More)

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.     Romans 15:13 Not much changed last night, although Isaac's heartbeat did return to a normal pace. The doctors have said that in... (More)
