Just A Memory....... Written by Granny MO I remember quite well,it's still in my mind.....The day that we heard a baby was on the way Cathi took her sister in hand, and to the bedroom they went! I could tell by their faces , this was going to be a big event! The following day, the sisters they went, to Mom and Dads House, to break the Happy News..... As Cathi stood behind her sister, The silence took over.Was the lecture on it's way? Never, Never ,Never! A Grandma and Grandpa is what you will be! But that was ok, they had 8 1/2 months to agree..... As time went on, the reports began, First was mommy is a Diabetic, then the good news came It was indeed a boy!! And Jacob it would be....... I can remember that day...Cathi's face lit up like a star on a tree! She waited sooooo long for this nephew indeed! Then followed the news our Angel had a problem with his heart, We all Prayed to God to take him in his arms,And do the best to spare Our "Little Man" As the time came closer, the excitement grew, weekly reports, and shopping too..... And finally the news came, that we were waiting for, Jacob would arrive July 5th, 2001 !! Oh we were all wondering what he would look like, and then the bets came on his weight and length..My it was soooo much fun. So Mommy kept her promise and delivered a bouncing boy! Oh my he was so cute,almost like a tiny toy!! Remember when I said I prayed to God to take him in his arms? Well indeed he did, and 18 Days later he took him home with him, He is in good hands now,He is a "Little Cherub" God has taken him, but he left us with "A Precious Memory, Jacob aka Jabob"........ |

AN ANGEL WITHOUT WINGS used by permission by Sue Tancheff An angel came but he wasnt to stay How broken were our hearts that day So deeply loved But needed in heaven above Our souls were crushed He was gone all too soon So perfect in every way All too soon was he taken away Too good for this world, he was needed elsewhere The sorrow and grief was just too much to bear Why him? we would ask And receive no reply As a tear trickled down from the corner of my eye A life cut so short we could not understand We wouldnt see him grow into a handsome young man Life can be so unfair Too easily we forget Just one precious chance Is all that we get An angel without wings Not a day this life brings When we dont feel that youre near And we wish you were here It just wasnt to be Although we just couldnt see Why such a tragedy came to be Sleep peacefully beautiful angel.

The Cord We are connected My child and I, by An invisible cord Not seen by the eye Its not like the cord That connects us at birth This cord can't be seen By any on earth This cord does its work right from the start It binds us together Attached to my heart I know that it's there Though no one can see This invisible cord >From my child to me The strength of this cord It's hard to describe It can't be destroyed It can't be denied It's stronger then any cord Man could create It withstands the test Can hold any weight And though you are gone And your not here with me The cord is still there But no one can see It pulls at my heart I am bruised, I am sore But this cord is my lifeline As never before I'm thankful that God Connects us this way A mother and child Death can't take it away! Author Unknown Often times I cry alone at nights most darkest hour and fear not what the night will bring but fear the most, tomorrow. In the dark, the hope does hide its hard to see its light and fear grows quickly in its place and sends me on its plight. but centuries, it seems, do pass and then the sun does rise and slowly with the growing light its revealed of fear, its lies. For hopes not gone, nor are my dreams the light it still shines through and with the help of angels wings I find my way, from here to you. So when the tears fall in the night and fear creeps up, I say the angels are all guarding me so fear.....go on your way! Its ok to cry the tears for they wash away the pain Their a symbol of the love we shared and they are as needed as the rain. Author Unknown "Angels Wings Have Took You" A bitter cold day and wild winds came along two hearts that were sad, and had to be strong. The feeling of your presence shall within us remain locked deep in our two hearts, till we meet again. Many tears were cried, much sadness was shown If only you had of stayed instead of to Heaven, flown. Apart from the memory, you could be a dream but yet, deep in our two hearts, you hide there unseen. Unseen to the people who look at us two, not knowing how lonely, we are without you. Out in the country, that last day, all took place with bitter cold winds, that blew in our face. Our two hearts, were warmed, by a babe and his charm As we cradled you gently, locked deep in our arms. When the brief time was over you then had to go the tears we had held back then started to show. We managed to hold back, right till the final goodbye then our hearts ripped wide open, and little one, it's no lie. That day in our lives, we shall never forget we will think of you always, forever, and yet though the years be a lifetime that keep us apart you are not only in Heaven, but locked deep in our hearts. CRS 1986 I know your life on earth was troubled And only you could know the pain You weren't afraid to face the devil You were no stranger to the rain Go rest high on that mountain Son, your work on earth is done Go to Heaven a shoutin' Love for the Father and Son Oh, how we cried the day you left us We gathered round your grave to grieve I wish I could see the Angels faces When they hear your sweet voice sing Go rest high on that mountain Son, your work on earth is done Go to Heaven a shoutin' Love for the Father and Son Go To Heaven a shoutin' Love for the Father and Son... ~*~Go Rest High On That Mountain~*~ Sung and written by Vince Gill A Name for My Pain I have given a name to my pain- it's called "Longing." I long for what was, and what might have been I long for his touch and smell so sweat; I long to hold him one more time. I long to look on his beautiful face and impress it upon my memories and heart. I long to return to the day before and protect him from his death. I long to take his place, so he may live and have sons too. I long for time to pass much faster, so my longing and pain will lessen? Will they? IF WE COULD HAVE YOU BACK If we could have you back for just one day, There would be so many things we would like to say. If we could just be with you for one whole day, to have you close and know that you really are okay. If we had known that you would be gone forever, If we had known all those ties were going to be severed, If we had known the pain, the loss, and the ache, if we had known the difference without you would make. In the darkness you slipped away from us all, Now it's just your memories that we have to recall, They say that parting is such sweet sorrow, But it's the longing, the wondering, and how to cope with tomorrow. They say that grieving a child is very worst, Cause life's plan is that the parents should go first. Now all we have are memories, the good times that we had, We spend so much time in tears, and pain and feeling sad. So if we could have you back for just one day, You could let us know to cope until that judgement day. When we'll be together as a family once again, When we'll all be happy and free from all this pain. Oh ! It's so hard to live when your child has to die, Then we spend our lifetime trying to say Goodbye ! Author Unknown Dear God, Can you hear me? Please, God. Do you hear my cries? The ones that echo pain deep within my mind and heart. She is gone, God. My little girl is dead. And I love her so. I've tried to pray, to seek and to beg Yet still, she is gone. I would have given my life for hers... I do not understand. You see, God, she left so suddenly. Without saying goodbye- or even hello. How can it be that she has changed my life so? How can it be that others think I should forget her so abruptly and go on with my life? How can I pretend that she did not exist? For her life and death has brought me on my knees, to You. And now, I seek the peace, which only Your midst can harbor To ease this overwhelming grief. But, still God, I feel cheated. I feel so very desperate for her presence. I never looked into her eyes I never told her how much she meant to me. I never kissed her gently with the smile of a proud mother, but only with tear burdened eyes. But you can God. Please, please tell her for me. For I know she is in Your care. Tell her that her beauty has left me many priceless gifts. Tell her that I think of her- Everyday, every hour, every moment. Tell her how deeply I love and miss her. Hold her in Your majestic arms, just for me, Lord. Rock her gently and whisper in her ear Tell her that her Mommy aches for her, still and always. For the only strength that remains is the strength which You grant me In knowing that You, and only You, Father Can love her the way that I do... Amen By Joanne Cacciatore, An excerpt from the book, "Dear Cheyenne" 1996, 98 All Rights Reserved Enter supporting content here A MOTHER'S LOVE I didn't have to look into your eyes to fall in love with you. I didn't have to hear you cry To know you loved me too. I didn't need to hold your hand To cherish you always Within my womb,we shared our hearts. You touched my soul. You sweetened my spirit. You gave me memories I'll always hold dear. Yes my heart aches since you departed so soon. But a mother's love does not end with death. For you are my child. Forever my love is yours. Author unknown "The Day" A tiny hand I one day held an angelic radiant young face, broke my heart deep down inside and emotion was set ablaze. This day shall never be forgotten it's memory shall never die, the hand of God upon our little one shall forever with us lie. Words could never be written nor said to explain that day and time It was only short and truly brief Heart breaking for our Angel so fine. The memory and presence of you little one shall forever with us stay until In Heaven we meet again Until then, For this I Pray. CRS 1986 Together Together we mourn Together they play Together we hope Together they know Together we cry Together they comfort Together we laugh Together they smile Together we die Together they wait May we help each other along this long and hard journey the Lord has placed upon our shoulders and may our angels know that we love them...Together *~*~*~* A death has occurred and everything has changed by this event. We are painfully aware that life can never be the same again, that yesterday is over, that relationships once rich have ended. But there is another way to look upon this truth: If life went on the same without the presence of the one who has died, we could only conclude that the life we here remember made no contribution, filled no space, meant nothing. The fact that this individual left behind a place that cannot be filled is a high tribute to this person. Life can be the same after a trinket has been lost, but never after the loss of a treasure. ~Author Unknown *~*~*~* .... If I could have a lifetime wish, A dream that would come true, I'd pray to God with all my heart, For yesterday and you, A thousand words won't bring you back, I know because I've tried, And neither will a thousand tears, I know because I've cried, You've left behind my broken heart, And happy memories too, I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. *~*~*~* Don't Give Up Although things are not perfect, Because of trial or pain, Continue in thanksgiving, Do not begin to blame. Even when the times are hard, Fierce winds begin to blow, God is forever able, Hold on to what you know. Imagine life without His love, Joy would cease to be, Keep thanking Him for all the things, Love imparts to thee. Move out of "Camp Complaining," No weapon that is known, On earth can yield the power, Praise can do alone. Quit looking at the future, Redeem the time at hand, Start every day with worship, To "thank" is a command. Until we see Him coming, Victorious in the sky, We'll run the race with gratitude, exalting God most high. Yes, there will be good times, And there will be some bad, Zion waits in glory, Where none are ever sad! Author: Unknown *~*~*~* Dearest Mommy and Daddy, When you wonder the meaning of life and love Know that I am with you. Close your eyes and feel me kissing you in the gentle breese across your cheek. When you begin to doubt that you shall ever see me again Quiet your mind and hear me. I am in the whisper of the heavens, Speaking of your love. When you lose your identity, When you question who you are or where you are going, Open your heart and see me. I am the twinkle in the stars, smiling down upon you Lighting the path for your journey. When you awaken each morning Not remembering your dreams But feeling content and serene Know that I was with you~ Filling your night with thoughts of me. When you linger in the remnant pain Wholeness seeming so unfamilier, Think of me and know that I am with you, Touching you through the shared tears of a gentle friend easing the pain. As the sunrise illuminates the desert sky In breathtaking glory, awaken your spirit. Think of our time, all too brief, but ever brilliant. When you were certain of us, together When you were certain of your destiny. Know that God created that moment in time Just for us. Dearest Mommy and Daddy, I am with you always. *~*~*~* |
