Love and hugs,
Judi, Mom to Angel Andrew
Where we sometimes like to roam.
Through hills of love and laughter
A place we know as home.
A place that's free from all this pain
Where our hearts are light once more.
A place that lives forever,
Where life is, as it was before.
Our children live in memory.
They laugh and dance and sing.
Their lives are filled with a magic
That only Heaven can bring.
They feel no hurt or anger.
Their spirits are free as air.
And God's love will always protect them
In times when we aren't there.
Cherish this place called memory.
Feel the love that lives there.
Remember the joys, the warmth of the sun,
And the bond you will always share.
Smile at happy moments,
Laugh at times gone by.
Let the tears you cry be happy ones,
Know love will never die.
Have no fear of visiting, the joy will outweigh the pain.
Learn to treasure memory for there is much
that you will gain.
And though life is not as it was before,
And never will be again,
Our lives are much richer,
Than if love had never been.
God bless you dear one.
A small gift for you and Angel Christopher this Christmas of 2008.

(I Close My Eyes)
When I am missing Christopher,
All I need is to close my eyes..
It's then his heart connects to mine
Heaven sends me a loving surprise.
I miss holding him near me each day.
Cause that just isn't within my power.
Oh but I know when I close my eyes,
he'll tell me he's near me every hour.
It matters not the time of day or night,
I close my eyes to feel him near.
Our lives weren't to be this way ...
But it is now what I hold so dear.
I tell you this tonight with tearful eyes.
Cause again much to my surprise;
I can feel his presence near me.
And his love filling the Heavenly skies
For my precious son lives in Heaven.
He watches with the Father's Son.
And when I am missing Christopher,
I close my eyes and we're again one.

Though you may not see
I'll smile and remember
The last Christmas, with you and me
Don't be sad mom
I'm never far away
Your heart has hidden sight
My memory will always stay
I watched as you touched the ornaments
Sometimes a tear was shed as you did
I touched you gently on your shoulder
And on tiptoes I proudly stood
I'm only gone for a little while mom
I'm waiting for the day to be
When God calls out your name mom
We'll be together, just you wait and see
But until that time comes
Carry on as you did when I was there
I tell the angels how much I love you
There are angels here everywhere!
I stand behind you some days
When I know that you are sad
I want you to be happy mom
It would make my heart so glad
So on this Christmas Eve, Mom
Think of me as I will be thinking of you
And touch that special ornament
That I once made for you
I love you mom and dad, also
I know you know I do
And I'll be waiting here for you
When your earthly life is through
I just miss having him here so very much....
~ FOR BEREAVED PARENTS ~
"Twas the month before Christmas and I dreaded the days,
That I knew I was facing - the holiday craze.
The stores were all filled with holiday lights,
In hopes of drawing customers by day and by night.
As others were making their holiday plans,
My heart was breaking - I couldn't understand.
I had lost my dear child a few years before,
And I knew what my holidays had in store.
When out of nowhere, there arose such a sound,
I sprang to my feet and was looking around.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The sight that I saw took my breath away,
And my tears turned to smiles in the light of the day.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a cluster of butterflies fluttering near.
With beauty and grace they performed a dance,
I knew in a moment this was not by chance.
The hope that they gave me was a sign from above,
That my child was still near me and that I was loved.
The message they brought was my holiday gift,
And I cried when I saw them in spite of myself.
As I knelt closer to get a better view,
One allowed me to pet it - as if it knew,
That I needed the touch of its fragile wings,
To help me get through the holiday scene.
In the days that followed I carried the thought,
Of the message the butterflies left in my heart -
That no matter what happens or what days lie ahead,
Our children live on through our memories -
so to us, they are not really dead.
Yes, the message of the butterflies still rings in my ears,
A message of hope - a message so dear.
And I imagined they sang as they flew out of sight,
"To all bereaved parents -- We love you tonight."

Christmas Angel Gathering 2008
All is calm, all is bright,
'Round yon Virgin Mother and Child,
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Love, Denise, Mom to Angel Kellie.
Let my kiss rest upon your innocent brow,
Your sweet smile lives in the warm summer sun.
Thoughts of you are comfort, when the day is done,
The magic of your goodness dances in the autumn leaves.
Your melody sings in the wind that, echoes through the trees.
sleep my precious angel, forever you will shine
the pure light of Love within this heart of mine.
Thank you so much for this, it is so beautiful!
Thank you so very much for these gifts for my Angel Christopher!
