One that I had not seen in a while
I held it gently in my hands
lost for a moment in your smile
I found a card from you
written in your own special way
I held it gently in my hands
lost for a moment in that day
Memories, sweet gifts from you
to allow my heart a breath
to let me be lost for a moment
to remember life, not just death
Love,
Mom
like why a life so very young can slip right through our hands.
One moment life is perfect and the next it falls apart,
leaving us with nothing but an eternally aching heart.
I read treasured cards she had given me and each word’s special meaning makes me see, the precious gift of love I was fortunate to receive, and I realized she’d never want to see us grieve.
For all the remaining seasons of my life on earth,
I’ll miss her merriment and mirth, and daily I’ll sadly long for all the yesterdays;missing the times we spoke and her gentle understanding ways.
Yet, the lessons of kindness and love she taught me,
And the good things in life she has helped me to see;
Linger as lasting gifts that comfort and will sustain,
Until I journey to that peaceful place and see her again.
Four years after her passing Paige Elyse is still strongly remembered and is still forever missed by those who truly loved her.
It's been 3 yrs without you, life will never be the same. We miss you terribly. Not a day goes by without me missing you. The grief is endless. Last night it just hit me, like being stabbed in the chest, it hurts so much that I feel like just ripping my heart out of my chest. They say there is no greater pain in the world than losing a child and they are right. Having to bury you was the worst experience of my life. Daddy misses you so much and Sage misses her big sister. I hope you are having a great time in heaven. I love you, until we meet again.
Love,
Mom
from our home and our lives.
Someone is missing from holiday celebrations,
family vacations and everywhere in between.
Our precious one is gone.
She will not have birthday parties, graduations, or celebrations.
We will miss her throughout eternity
and our family will never be complete.
Someone is missing, yet we go on.
Our lives were touched by her.
Changed forever by her brief existence.
Her memory we keep alive.
She lives now only in our hearts and minds,
We were blessed by her short life.
Our love for her is forever strong
and she will be FOREVER MISSED!!
Are the words Billy Joel sung
He said it so right, he said it so true
Spring is now here and all is anew
“Butterfly Kisses” are what I send you
and you were on my mind
as I sat by the window sill
missing you still
I had no birthday card to post
no glass to raise in a birthday toast
no wonder I felt extra morose
A voice I would love to hear,
A smile I will always remember,
Of someone I love so dear.
Deep in my heart lies a picture,
More precious than silver or gold,
It's a picture of my my Niece,
Whose memory will never grow old.
memories start.
Eternally dear,
occasionally with a tear.
I wish you were here.
You are always near
everyday in my heart.
I miss you my sweet Niece.
Lord pick a bunch for me
Place them in my niece's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her that I love her
And when she turns to smile
Place a kiss upon her cheek and
Hold her for a while.
Remembering her is easy
I do it every day
There's an ache within my heart
That will never go away.
If not, there is only the sudden horror,
the wrench of being torn apart;
of being reminded that nothing is permanent,
not even the ones we love, the ones our lives revolve around.
Life is a fragile affair.
We are all dancing on the edge of a precipice,
a dizzying cliff so high we can't see the bottom.
One by one, we lose those we love most into the dark ravine.
So we must cherish them without reservation.
Now. Today. This minute.
We will lose them or they will lose us someday.
This is certain. There is no time for bickering.
And their loss will leave a great pit in our hearts;
a pit we struggle to avoid during the day and fall into at night.
Some, unable to accept this loss,
unable to determine the worth of life without them,
jump into that black pit spiritually or physically,
hoping to find them there.
And some survive
the shock, the denial, the horror,
the bargaining, the barren, empty aching,
the unanswered prayers, the sleepless nights
when their breath is crushed under the weight of silence
and all that it means.
Somehow, some survive all that and,
like a flower opening after a storm,
they slowly begin to remember
the one they lost in a different way...
The laughter,
the irrepressible spirit,
the generous heart,
the way her smile made them feel.
And in time, they fill the pit
with other memories; the only memories that really matter.
We will still cry. We will always cry.
But with loving reflection more than hopeless longing.
On this one year anniversary that is how we survive.
That is how the story should end.
That is how she would want it to be.
Paige you are loved and missed so much in our lives. Until we meet again you will live forever in our hearts and be forever missed!!!
give me this day to mourn
Yesterday was the date my niece died
and today the date she was born.
Let me think back to her birth,
or the fear of seeing her, dead.
Memories of holding her close,
and cradling her little head.
Allow me tears to cry,
Because love fills my heart today
Spilling it on those close by,
while in my memory forever she' ll stay.
The day you left us we saw no tomorrow.
The day you left us we didn’t understand.
The day you left us God had you by the hand.
The day you left us your family came together.
The day you left us we remember you forever.

Dads Hurt Too
People don't always see the tears a dad cries,
His heart is broken too when his daughter died.
He tries to hold it together and be strong, Even though his world's gone wrong.
He wants to hold his wife as her tears fall, to comfort her through it all,
He goes through his day doing what he's supposed to do,
But a piece of his heart has been ripped away too.
So when he's alone he lets out his pain,
And his tears come like falling rain,
His world has crashed in around him,
And a world that was once bright has gone dim.
He feels he has to be strong for others, But Dads hurt too,
not just the Mothers, He searches for answers but none are to be found,
He hides behind a mask when he is feeling down.
He smiles through his tears,
He struggles and holds in his fears,
But what you see on the outside is not always real,
Men don't always show how they really feel.
So I'd like to ask a favor of you,
The next time you see a mother hurting over the loss of her child,
please remember.....a Dad hurts too
I love you, Eddie, and I know that you are hurting too!
Happy Birthday Paige
2-Year Anniversary & Burial
June 15, 2015 marked the 2-year anniversary of our dearly departed Paige. I’m sure we all wished we had gathered that day in celebration rather than in mourning. But there we were gathered together to say our final good bye to our beloved Paige.
As I watched her dad, mom and sister standing over her grave heartbroken I could feel their pain....their loss. As I watched the rest of the family approach and place a rose on her remains I, too, felt the tremendous loss that we, as a family, had endured.
When it was my turn to place my rose on her remains I remembered the day Paige was born. She was the most beautiful little baby you could ever hope to see, and she was an especially wonderful blessing for Maribel and Eddie who wanted to start a family. With this one child, their prayers had been answered. They were so blessed and so happy.
Paige was by all accounts an easy baby with a naturally happy disposition. I have vivid memories of walking into her nursery and seeing her in her crib with a great big smile stretching out her arms to offer a welcoming hug. Of course, that smile and warmth became her trademark that instantly endeared her to everyone who ever came in contact with her. Paige was definitely meant to bring love into this world for the all-too-short time we would have with her.
In light of how deeply Paige was loved by her parents,her sister, her family, as well as everyone who truly knew her, it's difficult to understand why her life had to end so soon. It's nearly inconceivable that God would allow such a beautiful soul to have such a tragic accident, let alone die. When you look at it that way, it's easy to be angry at God for taking back the gift He gave us. I now choose to look at it another way.
God saw how dearly Eddie and Maribel wanted to know the joy of having their first child; He gave Paige to their keeping for a short time so they could know that joy. God allowed Paige to touch each of our lives showing us the beauty of human kindness in its rarest form. When Paige had the accident her suffering was too much to bear, so He scooped her up to Heaven, and all her suffering was gone. I believe she now waits patiently for the day when Eddie, Maribel and Sage will join her, and they will all live happily together once again. I believe that Paige would want us all to dwell on the happy times we shared with her, and let the sad memories fade.
Paige, no one really wants to say goodbye, so I'll just wish you eternal peace until we meet again. Your memory will live on in our hearts forever and forever you will be missed.
