In Loving Memory of
Michael David Sullivan
February 14, 1967 - April 22, 1996
 HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON VALENTINE'S DAY
A DIFFERENT DAY OF LOVE
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO STOP THIS APPROACHING VALENTINE'S DAY ONCE AGAIN. MUCH LIKE THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO STOP THE GROWING TUMOR IN YOUR BRAIN ...... BACK TO THE VALENTINE'S DAY YOU WERE BORN ..... MY HEART GREW RAYS OF SUNSHINE AROUND IT ..... SEEING YOU WAS A MOST UNDESCRIBABLE EXPERIENCE ..... IT WAS IMMEDIATELY MADE REAL SINCE, TO ME THAT YOU WERE BORN ON THIS DAY, THE ONE VERY SPECIAL DAY SET ASIDE FOR LOVE ..... BECAUSE YOU AS MY FIRST BORN CERTAINLY TAUGHT ME THE REAL MEANING OF LOVE ...... THE ONE ONLY A MOM CAN HAVE FOR HER CHILD ..... NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU GREW-UP YOU WERE STILL MY "CHILD" ..... FOR 29 WONDERFUL YEARS I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF FEELING THOSE RAYS OF SUN WARMING MY HEART AS YOU GREW AND MATURED AND BECAME YOUR OWN WONDERFUL PERSON .......
 
BUT NOW THAT SAME HEART HAS LEARNED TO LIVE WITH ICICLES AROUND IT INSTEAD OF OF THOSE WARMING RAYS ....... SO HERE I AM ABOUT TO FACE ANOTHER VALENTINE'S DAY .... ANOTHER BIRTHDAY OF YOURS WITH YOU GONE ...... I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHAT YOU'D LOOK LIKE NOW ..... I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO TEASE YOU AT THE FACT BEFORE YOU KNEW IT YOU'D BE REACHING FORTY ..... BUT LIFE CHANGED ALL THOSE THINGS ...... IT CHANGED IT IN SUCH AWAY THAT IT IS UNREPAIRABLE ...... MANY STRANGERS PASS BY ME EVERYDAY AND I BET THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW I TRAINED THE HEART TO HAVE ICICLES TO HELP ME THROUGH ..... AND AT THE SAME TIME I'M SURE I PASS MOMS WHO HAVE HAD TO DO THE SAME ....... FOR APPEARANCES SAKE, WE LOOK AND ACT NORMAL ...... BUT INSIDE THERE IS NO "NORMAL" ...... PARTICULARLY ON THIS DAY .....
ON DISPLAY ARE ALL THOSE PERFECT HEARTS ..... THOSE HAPPY HEARTS ...... PEOPLE MAKING TO-DO LISTS FOR THAT SPECIAL DELIVERY FROM ONE HEART TO ANOTHER ...... THOSE HEARTS FULL OF LOVE ...... BUT MY HEART I MUST WRAP IN THOSE ICICLES SO I CAN MAKE IT THROUGH ..... THOSE RAYS OF SUNSHINE THAT YOUR BIRTH GAVE ME, YOUR DEATH GAVE ME ICICLES IN THEIR PLACE.......
SO AGAIN I SAY "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" MICHAEL, BUT AGAIN I CAN'T SEND YOU A CARD OR DO ANY OF THOSE "HUMAN" BIRTHDAY THINGS MY HEART YEARNS TO DO ..... I SEND YOU ALL MY LOVE AS I HAVE EVERY YEAR FOR EIGHT YEARS NOW .... BUT IT'S SENT THROUGH TEARS INSTEAD OF COLORFUL WRAPPINGS AND BOWS ...... I HOPE YOU GET THE WISHES AND LOVE I SEND ...... THOSE ICICLES SEEM HEAVIER AND COLDER ON THIS DAY ...... BUT THEY STILL CANNOT SEEM TO NUMB THE PAIN ...... SO WITH BEWILDERNESS THAT I STILL CAN'T WORK THROUGH ...I SEND A BIRTHDAY GREETING AND LOTS OF LOVE TOO!!! .... I LOVE AND MISS YOU ..... LOVE "YOUR MOM"
This is a beautiful and loving gift for Angel Michael from my dear friend, Carol, mom to Angel Michael.
Valentines... To Heaven
This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind,
Its still filled with love...and blessings inside;
But mine has to be sent on the wings of love...
You see its destination is the Heavens above.
Its not being sent to my parents so dear,
For they are still with me each day of the year;
Its being sent to my child...who left earth so soon,
Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon.
The message is the same as your valentine,
"I love you...my sweet precious child of mine;
My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue,
And its sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you."
"I know you are with me each and every day,
You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say;
For that is one thing that disease cannot do...
...you'll always be apart of me...and me a part of you."
"I know God did not give you the awful disease,
Thank Him for His comfort He gives me...would you please?
I dont know what I would do without His undying love...
Sent to bereaved parents from the Heavens above."
"I know you are in the best of care,
But it's so hard for us left on earth to bear;
Could you put in a request from us left behind...
For God to send the knowledge..so a cure we can find."
"So that no other family has to go through this pain,
Our lives without you will never be the same;
When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night...
And see you shining down your big bright light."
"Happy Valentines day sunshine...I miss you so much,
I know you know how many lives you have touched;
You'll always be mine...I love you with all my heart,
I know we be together again...and then we'll never part."

We Do Not Need A Special Day
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 heart ache
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.

This is a loving gift from Melba.

LIGHT A CANDLE
And I will light a candle for you
to shadow all the darkness and bless the times we knew
Like a beacon in the night the flame will burn bright
and guide us on our way
Oh today I light a candle for you.
Seasons come and go and I'm weary from the change
Keep on moving on -- you know it's not the same
And when I'm walking all alone
Do you hear me call your name?
Do you hear me sing the songs we used to sing?
And I will light a candle for you...
You filled my life with wonder -- touched me with surprise
Always saw that something special deep within your eyes
And through the good times and the bad
We carried on with pride
I hold on to the love and life we knew
And I will light a candle for you...
Oh today I light a candle for you.
  
"I FEEL YOU HAVE WELL EARNED THIS. AND WELL DESERVE IT.
AND IF YOU WOULD,
PLEASE, LINK IT TO GYPSYROSE FAVORITE THINGS"
This is a gift to Michael from my dear friend, Reeny.
Thank you to Linda's niece and my dear friend, Joyce
for the wonderful tags that they created for Michael's special birthday page!
These two images are gifts for the Sullivan family on this Valentine's Day.
May God bless and comfort you.
GEOFFREY P. EDWARDS
Michael what a strong handsome man you were, living with what you had to live with. Like your Mom we were helpless, I know exactly how she felt then, and feels now. My ANGEL Lee, suffered too with the disease. Michael your Mom is hurting so much. A special day is coming up, Valentines Day, I remember that special day with My ANGEL too. What is worse for your Mom is that it is the day she gave birth to you, that is always a wonderful memory for a Mother.
Michael your her ANGEL now but in a different way. Please send down your love, hugs, you know those special signs, let her feel you,
not only in the next few days, but always.
GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL
MY LOVE
Sue-Anne~Lee'sMom
Dearest Linda
I feel your pain my friend so much. But for you the next few days are deeper.
Please try and free yourself from those icicles, Michael doesn't like to see you that way.
And he is with you Linda
He hasn't left you for ever
He is just away for a while
Look up at those stars
One of them is Michael's
It is his window
He see's his loving Mom
He smiles and waves at you
Open your heart Linda
You will feel him
He is also waiting for you
At those GOLDEN GATES
PLEASE BELIEVE
MY DEEPEST LOVE TO YOU
Sue-Anne~Lee'sMom
