~*~ Forever In Our Hearts ~*~

ANGEL CHRISTOPHER
written and read at Christopher's service by Tina Chlibun, Maria's cousin

The life of one person cannot be measured in time
The impact of a life cut so short should be shared with all --
So we can help those left behind heal their broken hearts.
Time will be what is needed now -- to remember Christopher --
As a son, brother, grandson, great-grandson, nephew, cousin, student, friend.
Christopher was something to each and every one of us.
His memory will be with us for always.
Each one of us has been touched in some way by Christopher --
His rosy cheeks that held the laughter of a happy child,
In his courage as a fighter, or in his hidden strength for someone so young.
A life taken from us much too soon.
When you remember Christopher these thoughts will come to mind.
We should be thankful for the time Christopher blessed our lives
And know he is at peace now.... and forever in our thoughts, and in our hearts.

Sweet Little Christopher
written by Maria Faller

Sweet little Christopher, two years ago you received your new heart.
But how could we have ever known
That it carried a deadly virus?
One so different than what had affected your own.
Back in the hospital,
Yet another battle for you to fight.
So many things went wrong,
Not much was going right.
But the doctors said they would cure you.
They said you would eventually come home.
Either daddy or I was with you at all times,
We made sure you were never alone.
You were so courageous, right until the end.
You know we will always love you and never forget you.
I miss you terribly, sweet little Christopher, my son, my best friend.

For My Two Sons
Written by Maria Faller

I'm writing this to you, Christopher, with tears in my eyes,
My heart is aching for you,
But now I have your new baby brother to fill my arms.
But I still long to hold you close,
To touch your sweet, soft skin,
To gaze upon your body whole again.
I long to look into your eyes,
So brown and beautiful and full of hope...
So wise and full of love.
I have no greater hope than that I'll hold you soon,
But now I have your new baby brother to fill my arms.
I cannot leave this world just yet,
Just to be with you.
I have your sister and your new baby brother
Who need their mommy here.
I hope that through the days, the months and the years,
I will find the strength and the courage, as you did,
To get past all the pain.
I hope that I will learn to live again,
Because I have your new baby brother to fill my arms.
I wouldn't trade a second of your life,
Not a second that I had with you,
Not even for the pain.
Your time with us was brief and full of too many tears,
But I hold those memories close to my heart...
I go to them often,
And find myself running back to the time and the place
Where I held you and touched you
And felt your warm embrace and heard you saying,
"I love you very much."
But now I have your new baby brother to fill my arms,
And I want to thank you, Christopher, for this wonderful gift
That you have given us.
He can fill a new place in my heart and fill my arms,
But he can never take the place of you, my first born,
My heart is with you
Even though I have your new baby brother to fill my arms

Missing You
Written by Maria Faller

Christopher ~~
Your crooked little smile,
Your beautiful big brown eyes,
Your silly little giggle,
Your tremendous belly laugh,
Your awesome hugs,
The way you would say, "Mommy, I love you very much."
But most of all,
I miss your absolute joy at just being alive,
Makes me try so very hard to be like you...
And now I'm just -- missing you.

An Angel Waiting
Author Unknown

On a hill in the distance
A young boy quietly waits.
Patiently he watches
For his family at the gate.

His brown eyes shine so brightly
As hope swells within,
For soon he'll see his loved ones
And never part again

How joyous will be the meeting
As mother holds her child,
And father kisses softly
The angel -- his long lost child.

Once more they'll hold each other,
And tears will be no more.
Forever they'll be together
As they pass through Heaven's door.

Broken Chain
Author Unknown

We do not need a special day
to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake,
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
as we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears could make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

UNTITLED
Author Unknown

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
to bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
