This website is created in loving memory of baby Arianna Brooke McCarty. She was born on May 20, 2005, and entered Heaven on July 7, 2005. Arianna at birth was 4lbs. 8 oz. She was a full term baby but very small. The reason to her being so small was she had Transposition of the greater arteries. A badly deformed heart. I found out about my baby granddaughter having a broken heart on my birthday which was on May 24, 05. I flew out to California to be with her and her Mommy Corinna. Arianna had open heart surgery on June 2, 05. Which was a five hour surgery. She made it through! Went home from the hospital on June 15 and stole many hearts. Her father never met her, he was very stubborn and very hurtful to my daughter Corinna. 3 weeks after being released from the hospital after visiting her Great Grandmother, Arianna died from her broken heart. My daughter Corinna put her precious baby in her carseat, kissed her and told her she was so pretty and she loved her so much. Who would have known the 15 minute drive home while Arianna was sitting in her carseat she would go be with Jesus? My daughter got home took Arianna out of her car and asked Arianna's Uncle Marcus, does she look blue to you? They did CPR till paramedics arrived but to no availe, little Arianna'a heart had stopped beating for good. Now her heart beats in mine. I will miss her forever. Nana loves you Arianna, can't wait to see you again!
Arianna's Aunty Summer has had a rough time with her death. Aunty Summer sings her heart out as a tribute to baby Arianna. Summer has sung, My heart will go on, in front of a thousand people and you can feel exactly how she felt as she sang it. Summer was 10 when she sang the song and when she recorded it. She wowed the crowd and not a dry eye was to be seen after she was done. Summer is a songwriter also, and together Arianna's Nana and Summer have co written a song dedicated to Arianna's mommy Corinna called Mama's Little girl. This song along with Summer's CD will be released to the public in the near future. What a beautiful contribute to baby Arianna's Mommy.
Life for us all has continued, Arianna has a baby brother who will be one on Sept. 4, 2007. Destiiney, Arianna's sister is growing up going to school now and she forever talks of her sister. We all miss Arianna and she is a part of our lives even though she is not here with us. We talk about her, visit her grave, look at pictures and remember what a beautiful little girl that we all had here on this earth, but "OH" for such a brief time! We thank God for letting us know her, to hold her, to kiss her, to smell her, to talk to her, the smiles, the cooing, the diaper changes, the baths the pictures and yes, her little cries are all rewards we had for knowing such a beautiful baby girl.

Arianna Life To Me. written by: Kathy Cummings (Nana)
When I first met Arianna, this is what it ment to me. Wow! What a beautiful angel, who came to our family.
So sweet and tender, and how she would look in my eyes. She would rest her eyes and listen, as I sang her lullabies.
How scared I was when they took her, down to surgery. I watched as they pushed her down the hall, and weak did go my knees.
I rushed back to the room, the place where hours we'll wait. Praying and waiting the news of Arianna, would be something I would not hate.
Great news I have for you, Arianna did just fine. It was an extensive surgery, she was on bypass for some time.
She was hooked up on many monitors, her chest was opened wide. Her little heart was broken, and I hovered over her and cried.
When she woke up after a day or so, she looked straight up at me. We looked in eachothers eyes again, Arianna just wanted to be.
She wanted to live she wanted to love, and to get it back in return. I'll do that for you Precious Baby, and how my heart does yearn.
We rushed back to the hospital Uncle and I, before we had to leave. You were doing very well they said, and I felt a sigh of relief.
Your Uncle Josiah and I, almost didn't make it to our plane. I am happy little Arianna, that to California we came.
Your Mommy would call me daily, and I would listen to you cry. She would hod the phone to your ear, and I would tell you sweet by and by's.
You seemed to like my voice, as I told you, "Nana loves You". You would quiet down so quickly, as I heard your little coos.
Mommy would email your pictures to me, off of her cell phone. I would print them out in 8 by 10 form, and framed one in my home.
How pretty in the picture you looked, I often would stare at your face. I couldn't believe this miracle, who would be coming to visit our place.
At work, yes I would brag of you, how tiny you were and how strong. I told the people I work with, my miracle is coming but the wait it too long.
I just couldn't wait to see you again, and hold you in my arms. The anciety was building up in me, and I prayed God would keep you from harm.
Okay, I have to say this, and it's almost too much to bare. The story of Little Arianna's life, is coming to a near.
I got a call from her Papa, I was at my job working. I told my boss I had to leave, and I dropped everything.
I waited which seemed like hours, for her Papa to show up. An employee was taking to me, and I wanted her to shut up.
Papa came up to the door, the panic look all over his face. I quickly got into the car, towards home did we race.
He told me my Precious Arianna stopped breathing, but to me death was so far away. I was so in shocked to hear her Mommy cry, and I didn't know how to pray.
Kept thinking she'll be fine, she made it through her surgery. I waited on the phone with her Uncle, and I held on desperatley.
We hung up for a little while, so we can sit and pray. But still I was in such shock, and I still couldn't find a way.
Then we got that awful call, and Papa said, "OH NO"! I started crying instintly, I didn't want to let you go.
Please bare with me I still can't believe, what my lips are about to part. My Precious Arianna, died from her broken heart.
Why did you have a broken heart, why did you have to die? Answers I'll never know, so I will morn for you as I cry.
PRETTY BABY ARIANNA, NANA LOVES YOU!!!
