~MEMORIES OF DAYS GONE BY~
I HAVE MEMORIES................
OF THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE, OF THE WAY YOU USE TO LAUGH, OF THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE, OF THE CUTE LITTLE THINGS YOU WOULD DO OR SAY WHEN YOU WERE A BOY, OF THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND IN MINE, OF THE WAY YOU WOULD ANSWER THE PHONE WHEN I CALLED, HOW YOU SAID HELLO IN YOUR OWN UNIQUE WAY, OF THE FIRST TIME YOUR HEART WAS BROKEN, OF HOW YOU PICKED YOURSELF UP AND KEPT MOVING AHEAD, OF HOW YOU WOULD SAY, "LOVE YA MA", OF THE MANY BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS YOU GAVE ME, THE CARDS THAT MADE ME CRY, OF THE SMELL OF YOUR COLOGNE, OF THAT TWINKLE IN YOUR EYE WHEN YOU SMILED, OF THE FEEL OF YOUR ARMS WHEN GIVING ME A HUG, OF THE TERROR IN MY HEART THE DAY YOUR DAD CALLED, OF THE NUMBNESS I FELT AT YOUR FUNERAL, OF THE SOUNDS OF PEOPLE TALKING AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHY, THE SOUND OF MY CRYING DEEP INSIDE MY HEART, OF THINKING IT'S ONLY A BAD DREAM I'M GOING TO WAKE UP-I'M GOING TO WAKE UP???? OF FINALLY REALIZING IT'S NOT A BAD DREAM, OF HEARING MYSELF CRYING, SOMETIMES JUST OUT OF THE BLUE, OF ALMOST PICKING UP THE PHONE TO CALL YOU, OF WISHING YOU'D COME BACK, OF KNOWING YOU WON'T (YET) THEN KNOWING, JUST KNOWING, YOU LIVE WITHIN MY HEART, NOW WHAT'S LEFT, ARE MY MEMORIES♥

Grief

"Deep sobs
that start beneath my heart
and hold my body in a grip that hurts.
The lump that swells inside my throat
brings pain that tries to choke.
Then tears course down my cheeks.
I drop my head in my so empty hands,
abandoning myself to grief,
But I know that with the passing time
will come relief.
That though the pain may stay,
There soon will come a day
When I can say his name and be at peace."

IN A FEW WEEKS ITS THE ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN YOU LEFT US, DAVID. IT'S BEEN THREE VERY HARD YEARS. THEY SAY THERE ARE 'STAGES' OF GRIEF~WHAT 'STAGE' "SHOULD" I BE IN? HOW DO 'THEY' KNOW? IS IT SUPPOSE TO GO IN SOME SORT OF ORDER? WHEN IS THE 'STAGE' THAT I ACCEPT, REALLY ACCEPT, THE FACT THAT YOU REALLY ARE GONE?? WHEN IS THE 'STAGE' WHERE MY HEART BEATS NORMALLY AGAIN? WHEN IS THE 'STAGE' WHEN I DON'T GO TO PICK UP THE PHONE TO CALL YOU? WHEN? WHEN OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST RETURNS TO GATHER US UNTO GOD~

ONE OF DAVID'S, MANY, HIGH SCHOOL PICTURES

THE FADED PHOTOGRAPH

"Standing proud upon a shelf
A photograph I see,
The image of my son's face
Smiling back at me.
Just a faded photograph
I look at every day,
But if those lips could speak
I know exactly what they’d say

“ Now’s the time to pack away
The sorrow and the pain.
I’ve had my life you must live yours
It’s time to smile again!
Place the hurtful things that happened
Firmly in the past,
And make the happy times we shared
The memories that last.
But take a moment now and then
To think of me a while.
Hold my faded photograph
And don’t forget to smile."

"Faith becomes vision, hope becomes possession, but the love of God, that is stronger than death and endures forever. In the end, it is the one thing you can hang onto."

Wake Up !! Decide to have a good day.
"Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" Psalms 118:24
Dress Up !! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."
I Samuel 16:7
Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3

Stand Up!!... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as w e have opportunity, let us do good..."Galatians 6:9-10
Look Up !!... To GOD!!
"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13

Reach Up !!... For something higher. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path."
Proverbs 3:5-6
Lift Up !!... Your Prayers.
"Do not worry about anything;
Instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING."
Philippians 4:6

"You meant so much to all of us
you were special and thats no lie,
you brightened up the darkest day
and the cloudiest sky.

your smile alone warmed hearts,
your laugh was like music to hear,
I would give absolutely anything
to have you well and standing near.

not a second passes
when you're not on our minds,
your love we will never forget
the hurt will ease in time.

many tears I have seen and cried,
they have all poured out like rain.
I know that you are happy now
and no longer in any pain"

SOMEDAY OUR HEARTS WILL BE WHOLE AGAIN

"Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away."

MEMORIES LAST A LIFETIME~LOVE IS ETERNAL

"The only way we can be protected from the pain of loss and the grief we feel, is by having never loved.
How empty our lives would be, and what a lot of wonderful shared moments we would have missed, if we had not known.
So, although what we feel at the moment is terrible, we must try to remember that it is because we have all been privileged to have known and loved, that we now feel the pain and sadness."

~WE'LL LOVE YOU &

MISS YOU UNTIL WE

MEET AGAIN~

~REMEMBERING YOU ALWAYS~

REMEMBERING A SONG I USE TO SING TO YOU, DAVID, AND YOUR BROTHERS WHEN YOU ALL WERE LITTLE.

~TELL ME WHY~

Tell me why the stars do shine,
Tell me why the ivy twines,
Tell me why the skies are blue,
And I will tell you just why I love you.

Because God made the stars to shine,
Because God made the ivy twine,
Because God made the sky so blue,
Because God made you, that's why I love you.

I really think that dear God above
Created you just for me to love;
He picked you out from all the rest
Because he knew that I'd love you the best.

YOUR LOVING MOM

~FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY 2009~

OUR PRECIOUS DAVID

WHERE DID THE TIME GO? IT'S BEEN 36 YEARS SINCE YOU ENTERED THIS WORLD, AND WHAT JOY YOUR DAD AND I FELT. WE HAD YOU FOR ALMOST 33 YEARS, THEN YOU LEFT US, JUST BEFORE YOU WERE TO TURN 33 YEARS OLD. IT'S BEEN 3 YEARS, SINCE YOU 'LEFT'.

OUR HEARTS ARE STILL BROKEN, OUR LIVES ARE NOT THE SAME, BUT DAVID, WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THE TIME WE HAD YOU HERE WITH US. WE ARE COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS, UNTIL WE HOLD YOU AGAIN, SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE. ON THAT DAY, DAVE, I'M GOING TO HUG YOU SO HARD, AND NEVER LET YOU GO. WE WILL HEAR YOU SING, AND LAUGH.

WE WILL HAVE YOU WITH US FOR ALL ETERNITY~

~WE LOVE YOU, WE MISS YOU~

~GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE~

YOUR LOVING FAMILY FOREVER

TO MY HANDSOME DAVID~SO MISSING YOU~

A Mother's Love
A Mother's love is something
That no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
And of sacrifice and pain,

It is endless and unselfish
And enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
Or take that love away . . .

It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .

It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .

It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .

A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.

HOW DO I SURVIVE THIS, DAVE? YOU CAN'T ANSWER ME, I KNOW~I KNOW IN MY HEART, THAT IF YOU COULD, YOU'D WANT ME TO MOVE ON, YOU'D WANT ME TO LIVE AGAIN, AND IF YOU COULD, YOU WOULD TAKE BACK THAT DECISION~BUT YOU CAN'T. SO HONEY, IT IS WHAT IT IS~♥~

SOMETIMES I SIT ON THE DECK, AND I LOOK TOWARDS THE SKY~I CAN SEE, IN MY MINDS EYE, YOU AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WITH ALL THE OTHERS WHO WILL JOIN US ON THAT GLORIOUS DAY~I SEE YOU THERE, DAVE, WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE, WITH YOUR ARMS WIDE OPEN, WAITING~WAITING TO HOLD ME ONCE AGAIN~TO GIVE ME ONE OF YOUR INCREDIBLE LOVING HUGS AS YOU SAY, "OH MA, I'VE MISSED YOU SO."
