This book of poems was written by Stephanie at the request of her mom. Mary Jo had just written the book about the experiences of her 4½ year old grandaughter, Victoria.

Victoria was taken to heaven when she was knocked off a pool slide by Mary Jo at her home. Victoria fell nine feet to the concrete deck below and was not harmed in any way.

She revealed later in the day that when she started to fall, she heard God yell. “Save the children! Catch Victoria!” She then told us that “6 Big! Big! Big! Angels” caught her and “Zoom!” took her to heaven.

She spent a lot of time in the “Baby Place” while she was in heaven. You can read her accounts of heaven in the book “6 Big... Big... Big... Angels.”

This series of poems was written from the viewpoint of the babies. Keep your tissues handy. You will surely weep when you read what the babies experience.

I strongly recommend you get a copy of “6 Big... Big... Big... Angels” and read it along with this book of poems.

FOREWARD
by Mary Jo Pennington

I thought my heart would break the day I slipped at the top of our pool sliding board. As my knees buckled, I slammed down hard on the top of the slide, knocking my 4½ year old grand baby off. Victoria fell onto the concrete deck nine feet below.

But God was merciful and sent His angels to catch her. They took her to Heaven and she stayed with the aborted babies at the “Baby Place.” Her descriptions of the beautiful rooms and live toys are so fresh and vivid. Her intimate conversations with the babies are priceless.

Then she went with Jesus to see Father God. She sat on God’s lap and He put both hands on her little face and without speaking words told her, “ALWAYS DO WHAT I SAY” then “ZOOM they bringed me back”.

We had been invited to different churches and camp meetings to share Victoria’s testimony about the aborted babies. Sometimes we were asked to sing before we started to speak. None of our usual songs were quite right.

Our youngest daughter, Stephanie is a wonderful poet and an anointed woman of God. I called and asked her to write words to a song that would be appropriate. A song that would give voice to the tiny babies Victoria held in the palm of her small hand.

I wanted the song to be from the baby’s point of view. As soon as Stephanie finished my first request, “No Choice of Mine”, I immediately wanted her to write about the day the baby would have been born if it had not been thrown away.

She was already blazing with the anointing and sat back down and wrote “Dear Mommy.” A fire was starting to burn in me for a third title. “Dear Mommy, Today I Am One”. Well, the same fire was burning in Stephanie as she wrote from her heart. The anointing flowed through her and out of her and continued to flow until the Holy Spirit was finished with this work 24 hours later.

I added in one poem that she wrote later, especially for me, after I came face to face with my own throw away baby. The title is “Dear Mom, I’m Grown Now.” It is included in the first book, “6 Big... Big... Big...Angels.”

This book, “Restoring Mommy’s Heart” is the great and anointed work of Stephanie Petrus, a Valiant Warrior Woman of God and my beloved daughter.

Seek a quiet place and read it alone with God. It will bring great healing to your heart.
