When You feel Lonely
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.               Author unknown

All my Love to you Stacy ~ May your star shine brightly

When I read this I realized this is exactly how you lived each day. I wish it could have been longer, but I have the comfort of knowing you LIVED. I love you, son.

 

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck (written after she found out she was dying from cancer).

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle..

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, 'Later...

Now go get washed up for dinner.' There would have been more 'I love you's' More 'I'm sorry's.'

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute.look at it and really see it . live it and never give it back.

The Tree of Life

by Lisa O. Engelhardt

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If I could grow a tree for you,

I'd water it with tears,

And nurture it with memories

gathered through the years

Grounded in firm values

this tree would find its roots

And from its legacy of love

would grow the sweetest fruits.

Ever branching outward,

its canopy would swell,

A living, loving tribute

to a life lived full and well.

Finally, its leaves would reach

the floor of heaven, and then

I'd climb up on its branches...

just to hold you once again.

~My First Christmas In Heaven~

 

I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below.
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular! Please wipe away that tear,
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

 

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

 

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart,
but I am not so far away,
we really aren't apart.

 

I can not tell you of the splendor

or the peace here in this place.

Can you imagine Christmas

with our Saviour face to face?

 

I’ll ask Him to lift your spirit

as I tell Him of your love

So then pray for one another

as you lift your eyes above.

 

Please let your hearts be joyful

and let your spirit sing,

for I’m spending Christmas in Heaven

and I’m walking with the King.

 

So be happy for me dear ones.
You know I hold you dear
and be glad I'm spending
Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

 

I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory of my undying love.
After all "LOVE" is the gift, more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

 

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
for I can't count the blessings or love He has for you.
So, have a Joyous Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

Well, being a mom. i cant tell you how you inspire me to be strong.. just like you. i dont think i could hang in for anything after what you gone through. and the holidays are right around the corner. well i can say that im thankful for YOU. because without you.. NONE of us would know how amazing adam IS. He was probably the best eater i knew. hah, ate my left overs when i was stuffed to the max!. its hard to talk about him without crying. hard to listen to a song with out hearing him sing it.. especially sublime. i know it has to be the hardest thing to be in right now with thanksgiving tomorrow and christmas coming shortly after.. then his birthday. i honestly dont even know if this is the right spot to be writing this to you. but i do want to tell you that if you need us and i mean us as in everyone were all a phone call away. i hope your thanksgiving turns out the best.. even without adam in person. i know hes still ready to eat. best wishes. and itll be better one day. happy thanksgiving to you and your family

Stacy I know you are hurting so so much but one day it will get easier I promise. I could see the hurt in your eyes when we were at Tami's baby shower. I wanted to just sweep you up and give a big big hug at tell you it will get better.  Adam does know how much you loved him, he could feel your love in his heart. I am deeply, deeply sorry for your loss and wish you nothing but happiness. Love you, Jo-Ann

MAMA

We both know what you meant to him... Even when he was bein a little brat and disobeying you about "Luna" (supposedly our dog).. When he wouldnt do the dishes. i honestly believe its not because he wanted to make you mad but because he wanted to make sure every dish in the house was dirty so he had to spend more time doing them and being with you. I love you and always will you  will always and forever be my mama..
