Although words seem to say so little,
I hope they help in some small way
to ease the sense of loss
that you’re experiencing today.

Hold fast to your memories
to all of the cherished moments
of the past,
to the blessings and the laughter,
the joys and the celebrations,
the sorrow and the tears.

They all add up to a treasure
of fond yesterdays
that you shared and spent together,
and they keep the one you loved
close to you in spirit and thought.

The special moments
and memories of your life
will never change.
They will always be in your heart
today and forever more.

Thinking of you always ~~ Love Jane...x♥x

MY DARLING GARETH

A Glimpse
Sometimes I think I catch a glimpse
of you standing just close by
I turn and see that you're not there
at the corner of my eye.

I want so much to turn around
and see you standing there,
for you to stay and let me touch
your hands, your face, your hair.

I long to hear you call me Mum
in your beloved voice.
I want you so to stay with me
but I know you have no choice.

So I'll keep on trying to catch a glimpse
when you're just beyond my sight
I feel you there, I know it's true,
and not a trick of the light.

I know one day there'll come a time,
when there'll be no doubt I'm sure.
I'll find you there with arms outstretched
and be home with you once more

LONGING FOR ONE MORE DAY
.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
When we lose someone we love it seems that time stands still. What moves us through is a silence a quiet sadness A longing for one more day... one more word one more touch We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. We will see you again some day, in a heavenly place where there is no parting. A place where there are no words that mean good-bye.

He Only Took My Hand
"Last night while I was trying to sleep,

My son's voice I did hear

I opened my eyes and looked around,

But he did not appear.

He said: "Mom you've got to listen,

You've got to understand

God didn't take me from you, mom

He only took my hand.

When I called out in pain that night,

The instant that I died,

He reached down and took my hand,

And pulled me to His side.

He pulled me up and saved me

From the misery and pain.

My body was hurt so badly inside,

I could never be the same.

My search is really over now,

I've found happiness within,

All the answers to my empty dreams

And all that might have been.

I love you all and miss you so,

And I'll always be nearby.

My body's gone forever,

But my spirit will never die!

And so, you must all go on now,

Live one day at a time.

Just understand-

God did not take me from you,

He only took my hand."

~~Things I Left Unsaid~~

Family O'mine
I should like to send you a sunbeam
or the twinkle of some bright star
or a tiny piece of the downy fleece
that clings to a cloud afar

I should like to send you the essence
of a bouquet of sun kissed flowers
or the lilting song as it floats along
of a brook through fairy bowers

I should like to send you the dew drops
that glisten at break of day
and then at night the eerie light
that mantles the milky way

I should like to send you the power
that nothing can overthrow
the power to smile and laugh
while journeying through life you go

But these are mere fanciful wishes
i'll send you a godspeed instead
and i'll clasp your hand
then you'll understand all the
things I have left unsaid

My love to you always ~~ Jane...x♥x

Do you ever sit in an empty room
do you appreciate an open bloom
do you smell it's sweet perfume

Do you feel the need to 'talk out loud'
but theres no one there to hear
do you hear a voice call out your name
so close up to your ear

Have you ever felt a sudden chill pas by
and the hair on your neck stands up
have you gone to pour a cup of tea
but someone's moved your cup

Do you believe in angels
do they make you smile
have you felt one on each shoulder
as you walk that long wiery mile

Do you know that all these things
are messages to you
do you believe that they exist
i'll tell you.....YES THEY DO

Love & BIG (((HUGS))) ~~ Jane...x♥x

The Four Candles
Author Unknown
Sep 6 2008


The Four Candles burned slowly. Their Ambiance was so soft you could
hear them speak...

The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to
keep me lit."

Then Peace's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.

The second candle says, " I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer
indispensable. "

Then Faith's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.

Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to
stay lit any longer." "People put me aside and don't understand my
importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them."

And waiting no longer, Love goes out completely.

Suddenly...

A child enters the room and sees the three candles no longer burning.

The child begins to cry, "Why are you not burning? You are supposed to
stay lit until the end."

Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy, "Don't be
afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the
other candles."

With Shining eyes the child took the Candle of Hope and lit the other
three candles.

Never let the Flame of Hope go out of your life.

With Hope, no matter how bad things look and are...Peace, Faith and
Love can Shine Brightly in our lives.

God gave us a wonderful son,

His memory will never grow old,

He fashioned his smile out of sunshine,

He moulded his Heart of pure gold.

He needed a new star in Heaven,

A beautiful light to shine,

So out of this old world of sorrow,

He chose that dear son of mine.

The words say it all.

In all the world there was this child
so special in face and form
no other like him on this earth
and to me he was born

This special creature given to me
from the grace of God above
to hold and nurture, to feed and teach
and shower him with love.

I felt so blessed to have this gift
an honor I did not lack
but I wasn't prepared for the day
that I'd have to give him back.

I do this now unwillingly
it would not be my choice
to go on living daily
and never hear his voice.

To never look into his eyes
and show him all my love
and the only consolation
is he's somewhere up above.

In all the world there was this child
so special in face and form
no other like him in the world
and to heaven he was born.




Please, don't ask me if I'm over it yet

Please, don't ask me if I'm over it yet.
I'll never be over it.
Please, don't tell me he's in a better place.
he isn't with me.
Please, don't say at least he isn't suffering.
I haven't come to terms with why he had to suffer at all.
Please, don't tell me you know how I feel
Unless you have lost a child.
Please, don't ask me if I feel better.
Bereavement isn't a condition that clears up.
Please, don't tell me at least you had him for so many years.
What year would you choose for your child to die?
Please, don't tell me God never gives us more than we can bear.
Please, just tell me you are sorry.
Please, just say you remember my child, if you do.
Please, just let me talk about my child.
Please, mention my child's name.
Please, just let me cry
