''Grief is like wearing invisible clothing.  No one else can see it,and only I can feel it.  Some days it is heavy, some days it is light.  But I know it will be with me for the rest of my life.''

MISSING YOU

i SIT here in this chair alone

Watching friends and family go

They have stopped to pay respect

Bringing food and flowers and say hello

This situation seems so familiar

It hs happened to our family before.

Overwhelming love and support

Surrounding us more and more.

Something tragic has happened to you

And no one knows just why

You have left this world behind you

And forgot to say 'Goodbye.''

Did something call you from beyond

Or need you right now my love?"

Is your pain and suffering that you felt

Make you want that call from above?

You must have been so very sad

And wounded so very deep

To not remember the ones you left

Who would stay and wait and weep.

I know your pain has ended now

And your soul has been set free

But do you know how many lives you've touched?

And what you meant to me?

Your deep bass, your cleverness is what I will miss

And now I have to wait

To hear and see your face again

When I reach our heaven's gate.

Until the day we meet again

I know you'll watch from above

You are now a guardian angel

To protect us with your love.

Remembering my 2 boys today--Sim (Bud) passed June 20;this year and my baby doll Nicholas who left June of '05.  I miss you and love you so much.

The Reunion Heart

Since Heaven has become your home I sometimes feel Im so alone;  And though we now are far apart You hold a big piece of my heart.

I never knew how much I'd grieve  When it was time for you to leave.  Or just how much my heart would ache From that one fragment you would take.

God lets this tender hoie rremain reminding me we'll meet again;  And one day all the pain will cease  When He restores this missing piece.

He'll turn to joy my every tear  With thoughts of  you I hold so dear. And they'll become my special way  To treasure our REUNION DAY.

The moment that you diedmy heart split in two.  One side filled with memories.  The other died with you.  I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep  And take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheeks.

---------------------

Remembering you is easy I do it every day.  But missing you is a  heartache that never goes away.  I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain.   Life has gone on without you But never will be the same.

September 2009

You were here the other night So alive and well it seems.  But I awoke and then I knew You were only in my dreams.

The tears then came so quickly  For the time with you was brief.You were alive and talking  If only in my grief.

I heard your voices and touched you As if you were with me.  But I awoke and realized  This was not reality.

So I'll take my dreams  Whenever they come  And keep them close to my heart  Cause in my dreams you are alive  And we are really never apart!

I wish that someone would say their names.  I know my feelings they're trying to spare.      And so we go through the charade the game Of dancing around the ghosts that are there..Trying to avoid evoking a tear. Or stirring emotions too painful to bear.  That they be forgotten is what I fear. 

That no one will even their presence miss  As if there were no trace that they  were here.  By referring to them  my purpose is not to stir pity or keep things the same.  But my heart will simply break if their MEMORIES WILL DIE LIKE FLICKERING FLAMES.  I JUST WISH SOMEONE WOULD SAY THEIR NAMES.

G rief over the death of our child and loved one is the hardest work we will ever do.  While we wish for the pain to stop we remember that we grieve  intensely because we loved intensely.  The grief will never totally go away because the love for our child will never go away.  Our grief is an act of love and  is nothing for which we should be ashamed.
