My son;
I was not blessed with a large family. My son was my only child. He loved me and me him. We had a tough life, He was borned with learning dissablities, that he was able to over come. He loved the coast of California. Where i will take him a let him rest there.
He found out early Oct 2008 he had pancreatic cancer & diabetes. We were ready to fight the Monster inside him. The middle of Oct he got a bowel obstruction had to be operated on, it got infected. The opening of his body caused the cancer to eat him up. He was released from hospital on Tuesday. We had our Thanksgiving on Wednesday, Thanksgiving day rushed to hospital. The day after Thanksgiving he said he loved me and left this world.
I feel so little and helpless, lost my friend he is gone now and my mind won't let me rest.
For he is resting makes me know he is healed from the Monster that took him from me. That don't help the pain i have knowing i will never touch, hold, look, and tell him how important he is to me. OH MY GOD I MISS MY SON, MY BABY.
Light A Candle
And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter 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.
The seasons come and go, and I'm weary from the change.
I 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 your hear me sing the songs we used to sing?
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 onto the love and life we knew.
And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter 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.
-Paul Alexander
Tribute
This is in memory of the good who die young,
And we look at you now smiling down from above,
We know that you see us now, we know you hear us grieve,
This life is far too short already, and you were too young to leave.
How Did He Live?
Not, How Did He Die, But How Did He Live?
Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away.
Claudia Lees' Poem
I awake each morning to start a new day
But the pain of losing you never goes away.
I go about the things I have to do
And as the hours pass I think again of you.
I want to call you and just hear your voice
Then I remember that I have no choice
For you are not there and now my heart cries
Just to see you again to tell you goodbye
To say, son I love you and I always will
And hope that much of you, in my heart is instilled.
The day that you left I just didn't know
That you were going where I couldn't go.
And now all my memories of you are so dear
But gosh, how I miss you and wish you were here.
Who now can hear me when I need to cry?
It so hard to tell you "Robert goodbye."
Someday I know all will be well
And I'll see you again with stories to tell
Of how you were missed and how we have grown
And how good it is to finally be home.
Until then my memories of you I'll keep near
And I'll pass them on to those who are dear
Had I Known
Had I Known
I would have loved you then.
Had I known,
I would have asked less questions...
Followed my heart a little more.
Had I known one day you'd be gone,
and I couldn't show you anymore.
I'd have lived each moment as if it were the last.
Remember every word... not let time go by so fast.
But I was wrapped in my own image,
afraid to let it show,
But now I wish I loved you.
Why couldn't I know that you would leave me,
and I'd be caught in the past.
In the moments I could have changed,
the times that were your last.
I would have lived a lifetime in a few short days.
Instead I have a few brief moments,
that I let my heart show.
Memories of a love that I refused to know,
until it was almost too late.
Then it was over, and I was all alone.
In a daze, I wonder......
Did you know I loved you all along?
If I Should Leave You
* If I should die and leave you here awhile,
* Be not like others, sore undone, who keep
* Long vigils by the silent dust, and weep:
* For my sake turn again to life, and smile,
* Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do
* Something to comfort weaker hearts than thine;
* Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine,
* And I, perchance, may therein comfort you
What Does Heaven Look Like?
What does Heaven look like?
Is it pretty? Is it white?
Is there only goodness up there?
Does it always shine so bright?
Do the stars reach up to Heaven?
Can you hold one in your hand?
Does the ocean gleam with silver?
Can you run on golden sands?
Is it filled with any angels?
Are their halos on their heads?
Are they dressed in silk pajamas?
Do they sleep on clouds for beds?
Do the angels watch from Heaven?
All the things we do each day?
Did they get unhappy with me
On the nights I didn’t pray?
Are there gardens up in Heaven?
Do the flowers bloom all year?
Is their fragrance that much sweeter
Then it is in gardens here?
Is there music up in Heaven?
Do the angels dance around?
Are there harps and trumpets playing?
Do they make a joyous sound?
Are there lambs in Heavens’ meadows?
Are there doves in Heavens’ skies?
Are there places you can play with
Brightly colored butterflies?
Are there pets allowed in Heaven?
Fuzzy kittens running free?
If I saw my puppy up there
Do you think he’d come to me?
Are there pillars draped with satin?
Are there benches made of gold?
Can you live up there forever
Without ever growing old?
Oh, I may not know the answers.
But I know where Heaven starts;
When I show my love for others,
I know Heaven’s in my heart.
-Cindy Pruett
Light A Candle
Light a candle, it'll help to remind you
Of your time together on earth,
and as the flame flickers, remember
their kindness, their goodness, their worth.
So, glow little candle, that briefly,
You'll know that their memory can't die,
As you see their sweet face in the glowing,
Shed a tear, say a prayer, then goodbye.
Gone Too Soon
G od took you gently by the hand,
O n wings of love to another land,
N estled in the clouds up high,
E ternal live he gave you in the sky,
T he ones left behind have broken hearts,
O h they did not want you to depart,
O ne day you will all meet again,
S aving a place and no more pain,
O n wings of love in Heaven above,
O ur hearts are filled with lots of love,
N ever more then a heartbeat away,
Gone too soon but remembered every single day
♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.
