This website was created in the memory of my beautiful daughter, Trista Mae Lindstrom. She was born June 21, 1995. She crossed over on June 1, 2013. She was 17 years old. She is missed so much by her family and friends. We love you Trista Mae and we will hold you in our hearts forever.
Child of the Sun
There is about her, fold on shining fold,
A radiance, an aureole of gold.
Yellow is soft upon her cowslip hair.
A warm ray finds her mouth and lingers there.
In a bright spreading pool of light she stands
Holding the overflow in small cupped hands!
This sun will never set, for some will stay
Forevermore in an unending day.
It will go on and on; it will be part
Of growth of mind, of spirit, and of heart.
To one who has known time so sweetly light
How could it ever be completely night?
~Geraldine Ross~
"Nothing seems to matter much, now that you've been gone.
The sun still goes up and down, the world still turns on.
But though the sun and moon come by, to kiss me through the air,
I miss the love and joy you gave, the laughs we used to share.
So send me stars and midnight lullabies , show me you're really there.
Ill draw you pictures, write you letters and tell you how much I care.
Shine bright through the night, you're all I ever see,
I'll draw your beauty the best I can the way you'd do for me.
So shine through the night, bring beauty to all.
My little angelic moon, please refuse to fall. "
I wrote this poem back in March but I think it's finally time to share it. Trista, I'll never understand why this happened, I'll never heal from this. I feel nothing but broken and the only person who can fix this feeling is you. I'd give anything for a real goodbye, to see you again, to hear you again, to hug you, but I know that's not the way the world works. People seem to not see this pain, I've tried to bury it so deep, but I know you see me hurting. I want you to know, you're the best friend I've ever had. I miss you, I miss you're presence, so wherever you are please come back to me. Come haunt my dreams again. Show me you're still with me because I can't do this alone. Help heal me, save me like you always did. Stop the heartache, Tris, show me you love me and you're still here, I'll look for your signs forever. I love you Trista, always and forever.
Happy 19th birthday to my beautiful angel Trista Lindstrom ! I'll never forget the many memories we had together, and how we spent my 15th birthday going to Chuck E Cheeses. You were my very best friend in middle school and I'll never forget how sad I was to leave you behind when I switched schools. Even though it was harder to remain as close as we were in 8th grade, we were still friends. I wanted nothing more than to keep being friends with you. I miss you so much, and I wish we could have spent more time together in our high school years than the few times we spent during Freshmen year. I'll never forget spending study hall with you everyday working on math and laughing about the funny things you'd say. I still have the page from my 8th grade agenda where I wrote down all the funny things you said. It sits with your rose and picture on my bed side cart. Remember when I said I was going to make a book of your quotes? xD You were the sweetest and funniest girl I ever met, and I will always cherish every single memory we had together. From school to concerts, and the mall to Chuck E Cheeses. I love you Trista Mae Lindstrom.
Xander was born to Trista's cousin and one of her very best friends, Jessi. She was to be Xander's Godmother and she loved that little boy so much.
