Holidays are tough. Wish heaven had a phone,so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that's nothing new. I thought of you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence and often speak your name. All I have are memories and pictures in a frame.
Love forever,
Mom
Forever missed

Just wanted you to know that Steve & I are expecting a baby in June. I know how much you enjoyed Michael when he was just a little guy. It's an odd feeling knowing you won't get to meet this child, but I know you will be here in spirit. XOXO

hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,

I have you in my prayer.
When we were little
I remember when i could get you to do almost anything. there was a time when we were just small kids that I would hang from our swing set by my knees. i was always such a tomboy. You however, being a bit younger, and the boy just couldn't accept the fact i could do this & you couldn't. So one day, you decided to climb up there & show me & everyone else, you could do it to. You put forth such a tough & strong exterior & you climbed up to the very top of that swing set & sat there....you locked your knees as tight as you could & then you swung yourself backwards just a bit. Then, within seconds, you were face first in the dirt. Mommy rushed to you in a panic over your bloddy nose & I got scolded from Daddy & Mommy for being a bad influence. However, though I never said it, I had a bit of pride & respect for you for giving it a try. Though they were both mad at me, you weren't & you just got more determined to do it. Within a few short weeks you had it down pat & you were so happy with yourself & I was so proud to think in my own foolish mind I taught you something. I wish things had always been & stayed that easy between us. <3
Always on my mind & in my heart
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
Come to Me.
With tearful eyes we watch you
and saw you pass away
and although we loved you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best
I am not there,I did not die
Don't stand by my grave and weep, for I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamonds glint on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autums rain
When you wake in mornings hush, I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circle flight, I am the stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there I did not die.
