this one for william xxxxx

My mommy paints me rainbows,
The sunshine is her smile,
She sits upon white fluffy clouds,
To watch me all the while.
The raindrops on my nose she sends,
To let me know she cares.
And that she will always love me,
And forever will be there.
She visits me most every night,
To kiss me in my dreams,
And gently holds me in my sleep,
And then how close she seems,
Thats how I know shes never gone ,
And theres no need to cry,
For while she lives on in my heart ,
She will never ever die.



sending you love william, never forget you
have the most wonderful guardian angel
watching over you. Your mummy loves you so much
and always will, she will be forever by your side.

for laura xxxx

Mother, please don't mourn for me;
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight--
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach--
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around,
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond--
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring;
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
You can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on baby's face.
Just look for me, Mommy, I'm everyplace !


my love and thoughts are with you Laura,
heres hoping william is well, and knows all
about his mum, I know i tell Kane all about his
mum in order that he will never forget her.

Sending Love

As snowfall paints the Christmas
scene this eve
and burning embers in the fireplace fade
to cast the faintest glow
upon the room,
which shines upon our weighted
Christmas tree
of antiqued ornaments and candycanes
red garland and a hanging carousel

my eyes seek out the top
the highest peak
and I find solace, peace, contentment there

in an angel whose flowing satin gown
holds pearls which hang from loops
of golden thread.

And at her back are spread
two gilded wings
tranquility to still the raging heart

I see the ray of hope shine in her face
and in her eyes I see my birth, my death.

Yet I contented, knowing she stands guard,
gaze nightfall from a frosted window pane
to find the star of peace there in the sky
and whisper gently as I watch you sleep.

'May the Christmas angel light your path,
and grant you what you dared only to dream'

You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left

Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on

You can cry, close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Thinking of you and your family always
Love from Cas, Ian & Co

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on.
Cherished memories never fade
because one loved is gone.
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart
for as long as there is a memory
they live on in our heart.
thinking of u and your family, may you sleep tight gorgiz angel xxx

one night a man had a dream . he dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD across the sky flashed scenes from his life FOR each scene. he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand one belonging to him and the other to the LORD
when the last scene of his life flashed before him he looked back at the footprints in the sand ... he noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints he also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.
this really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it LORD , you said that once i decided to follow you . you'd walk with me all the way . but i have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints i dont understand why when i needed you most you would leave me ..
the LORD replied MY precious precious child i love you and i would never leave you.during your times of trial and suffering . when you see only ONE set of footprints, it was then that i carried YOU .

Thoughts

Caroline,
Death can't touch a memory,
Can't chisel it from one's heart,
As far as I am concerned,
You and I never did part,

You are still with me in all I do,
I see you in my mind's eye,
That smile still on your face,
I have no need to cry,

When things are sometimes said,
I turn and look your way,
I know what you are thinking,
I know what you will say,

So close are we still,
And always will be,
Together because,
Death can't touch a memory,
Thought this is very apt to
how i feel about you.
Love forever Mum xox

Thinking of u all

Someone left me this poem on my nan's page...thought it may bring u some comfort Laura & family. x x x x

What is Dying?

A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'

That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.

Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.

Poem

One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room,
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
One step must start each journey,
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.
One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what's true.
One life can make the difference.
You see, it's up to YOU!

Rainbow Poem

´*•.¸(*•.¸♥ ¸.•*´)¸.•*´
♥«´¨`RAINBOW °•´¨`»♥
¸.•*(¸.•*´♥ `*•.¸)`*•.¸

When you think your road is rocky and a bit too steep to climb,
When you think your guardian angel needs to work some overtime,
When your personal jigsaw puzzle has some pieces that won't fit,
When life has no rhyme or reason and you can't make sense of it,
YOU NEED A RAINBOW When the clouds are dark and stormy
And have blocked the sunshine out, And perhaps you start to wonder
What this life is all about, When your trials and tribulations seem to be so hard to bear,
And it seems there is no justice anytime or anywhere, LOOK FOR YOUR RAINBOW
When the molehills seem like mountains and the obstacles are great,
When you feel so heavy laden and your worries just inflate,
When you can't see any ending to the problems that you face,
For they just keep on increasing and you need some breathing space,
PRAY FOR YOUR RAINBOW It may be you need to look a little higher than before,
Or perhaps a little further to see past the clouds once more.
But you'll know it's worth the effort when your rainbow you can see,
And you understand the love behind God's creativity,
SEARCH FOR YOUR RAINBOW
For your rainbow holds a promise that this turbulence will cease,
And your inner conflict will become, instead, deep inner peace.
But if, though searching, you can't find your rainbow at this time,
Until you can, I say with love, you're welcome to share mine
