Heaven’s Special Child
The story behind a website I made in memory of our daughter who died at age nine. She was our third child and was most certainly one of heaven’s special children.

On the website Lisskid.com, you’ll find a touching tribute to a little girl named Erica Bayliss, who lived a life filled with love and resilience despite facing serious challenges. Born with lissencephaly, a rare brain disorder, Erica needed constant care and support. Yet, her presence brought immense joy and strength to our family.
Erica’s story is shared throughout the website, where I recount a journey of love, faith, and the incredible bond we as a family shared with her. At least I hope the reader will glean this sentiment. We turned our challenges into positive experiences, intending to inspire and support others who might be on similar paths.
Even after her passing, Erica continues to be a guiding light, leaving behind cherished memories and small signs like white feathers that remind us of her presence. The site also features poignant reflections, such as the poem “Heaven’s Very Special Child,” which captures the essence of Erica’s life and the profound impact she had on those who loved her.
The website is a touching heartfelt reminder of the enduring love between a child and her family, demonstrating how even the most challenging circumstances can be filled with beauty, hope, and inspiration.
Thank you for visiting Poetic Whisper!
