"You're a Special Little Spirit,"

the Lord in heaven said,

As he gently caressed the soft hair

of the Little Spirit's head

"You need to go to Earth

to spend some time, you know,

A place I send most Spirits

to be tested, to learn, and grow."

The Little Spirit, in sadness,

slowly bowed its head,

And from the little spirits eye a tear did steal

and down the little cheek it shed.

"Don't you fret now little one,

I won't let you stay too long,

I'll bring you back to help me here,

You'll hardly know that you've been gone.

You're my choicest Little Spirit,

you're the apple of my eye."

And he wiped the tear and gently kissed

His Little Spirit good-bye.

"I'm back," the Little Spirit whispered,

and climbed onto the Lords knee,

And God said, "I told you,

you would not be long away from me."

And then, the Lord, He noticed

still another tear welled in the little spirits eye.

"Why are you so sad, Little Spirit,

whatever should make you cry?"

"I'm glad I'm back," the Little Spirit said,

"but Master you must surely know,

When Your Angel came to get me,

I did not want to go.

I know You said You needed me,

and that I'd be gone the shortest while,

But Lord, couldn't I have had

a little longer earthly trial?"

The Lord let the Little Spirit

slip down from off His knee,

He firmly took the little hand and said,

"Come walk with Me."

The Little Spirit and the Lord

slowly walked hand in hand,

As the Lord God explained the little spirits special part

in the great and marvelous plan.

"Now, Lord, I don't mean to argue,

I understand that you needed me home.

But I left in such a hurry,

I left everyone hurting and so alone.

I didn't let my earthly parents know

how much I loved them so.

how will they ever know?

They feel they've been cheated,

and in a way, so do I.

Not getting to share any more than we did,

how can I ever tell them why?"

"Little Spirit, I know your heart is heavy

with this message you need to share.

But you need not worry anymore,

I'll watch over your loved ones there.

I'll send them loving comfort

as a strong and helping hand.

I'll contend and give peace to their aching hearts,

so they will understand."

The Little Spirit looked up at our Master

and said "Thank You for explaining it to me.

And could you please tell them that I'm safe and happy,

and that someday They'll be here with me?"

"Yes," said the Lord with a smile and a nod,

I'll tell them all that I can.

Then the others came to see the Little Spirit,

as the Lord let go of the tiny hand.

He said, "I'll tell them that you're pure,

as pure as Heaven's Gold,

That I needed the warmth of your perfect soul

to keep Heaven from getting cold"

His goofiness was one of his greatest gifts for me. He always made me laugh. He loved to watch comedies

He always showed compassion for others. He was forgiving. He always nurtured everyone in one way or another. He would have made a great father. He forgot to be compassionate to himself. By giving so much, he just didn’t have any more to give, not even too himself. I think he just got tired.

We all know he was athletic. He loved keeping in shape, he had gotten pretty buff. He liked working out at the gym, running, and surfing.

Shawn was emotional. It helped him understand humanity. Sometimes being as emotional as he was it can be a burden for one man to handle. What I wouldn’t give for one of his big hugs and kiss.

I believe that there are many paths to God because each one of us needs to get there in our own way, a way that each of us can understand. Shawn chose Buddhism. It was because of this practice it kept him going, gave him clarification when he needed it and the strength to leave Orange County for his goals to follow his dreams. He even got me chanting although not as much as he wanted me too.

He was not just beautiful on the outside; his spirit, and soul were more beautiful than the mountains or the ocean combined.I know you are in most  beautiful place. my own selfishness I wish I had my baby back

From the first day you came into my life you lit up my world. you were the most lovable and loving baby, from baby to toddler to young boy nothing changed, you loved everyone and everyone loved you. As you grew you seemed to have this enormous capacity for caring for anyone and everyone you came in contact with, not forgetting the animals you cared for as well, You turned into a beautiful young man that i was proud to call my son. then like a candle blowing out you were gone. no one knows why, only god knows. I think he must have needed someone special for another purpose. and believe me, they don't come any more special than you. I miss you so much, the daily phone calls, the laughs we shared, most of all i miss that beautiful big smile that would light up a room whenever you walked in. The day you left a part of me went with you, a part of my heart died. Not a day goes by that i don't cry for you, and yet at the same time i tell myself you are in a far better place. I will love and miss you always and forever, until god decides when we can be together again.

Goodnight sweetheart

my beautiful beautiful boy

god bless.
