Good Grief / Veronica Angel Mom To Zachary Vanwinkle Good Grief By Joseph R. Veneroso
Between wordless sobs the soul cries out, Grant them eternal rest, O Lord. And prays despites a haunting doubt, Let perpetual light shine on them.
Yet for us, the living, who remain to mourn the loss, To feel the pain, to bear the shock, to question why in God’s great plan they had to die, there is no peace, No rest , no light nothing but an endless night.
When we, defeated by the truth, surrender to death’s Other face, robbed of innocence and youth, No power on earth can e’er replace, Only in this, our darkest hour, can we truly hope to find Among our tears God’s healing power, among our fears True peace of mind, the simple faith to save our soul, That perfect love to make us whole.
Against the sadness and the sorrow with every ounce of faith Confessing hope for a better life tomorrow in our mourning We find blessing.
Just checking in / Shorty (Mom) Hey buddy--I am just checking in so you know that I am around. Also testing to see if this will work.
On This Special Day / Three Angels (Forum Friend ) I'm thinking of Taylor and his family on this special day, 25 Oct 06, as you commemorate the life of Taylor, I pray his precious memories brings peace and joy to your hearts. As I read his story, I felt the mother's pain and pride. Pain in losing her son, but pride in the love and compassion he had for others that he not only knew he was leaving, but left behind precious gifts.

Happy Easter--Your Major Chocolate Day!! / Shorty (Mom)
Hey Snook Man Doo!! I thought I would touch base with you again now that we are back to one of your favorite times--Easter and CANDY! No one would ever believe that you had the big D--thanks to the pump!! I love you so much buddy. Having you tattooed on me has been so good for me. It has given me a sense of closure, not that I would/could ever forget. It is just that you are always with me now. Dr. Kemp has even asked me about you lately. Little bro (Pooh) is trying so hard not to forget you he keeps bringing up things you would do, games you would play. He has a memory and the school abilities of you. And remember when you would say "don't worry mom she is just being Amanda"--you would not have to say that anymore she is so grown up now.
Happy Easter, Love ya Shorty
Remember this Easter and the egg hunt in your "other families" back yard!! Close
Has it already been 2 years? Then why, oh why, does it feel like just yesterday and that the searing knife continues to be plunged into my heart? Aunty Glo said it best--we think of you everyday but today is the day when you unselfishly allowed others to go on and make memories while we feed off of and live on ours of you. I hope you saw the memorial I had placed into the paper for you. I truly feel that you are everywhere. I cannot see your physical body but I feel your presence all of the time. I really do not want to cry anymore right now so I am going to go. Just remember "I love you to infinity and beyond" just as I will live your motto "I don't live for what ifs".
I know you miss your son very much. I pray you will find some bit of comfort in knowing others care and may the sweet memories help give you some peace. May the good Lords promise that we will be with our loved ones again fill your hearts with hope. Love and prayers, Rosemary sis of ^j^ Alvin Cremeans

We're Alike, You and I / Dianne White/Mom Of Angel Nicholas
WE'RE ALIKE, YOU AND I
We're alike, you and I. We've never met Our faces would be those of strangers if we met We would barely perceive the other's presence If we passed on our walk through the mists We're unknown to each other Until the terrible words have been spoken "MY CHILD DIED" We're alike, you and I We measure time in seconds and eternities We try to go forward to yesterday Tomorrows are for the whole people, And we are incomplete now The tears after a time turn inward To become invisible to all save you and me Our souls are rumpled from wrestling with demons. And doubts and unanswerable prayers. "GIVE ME BACK MY CHILD" We're alike, you and I. The tears that run down your face are my tears And the wound in your soul is my pain too. We need time, but time is our enemy For it carries us farther and farther From our lost child And we cry out; "HELP ME" We're alike, you and I. And we need each other Don't turn away, but give me your hand And for a time we can cease to be strangers And become what we truly are, A family closer than blood. United by a bond that was forced upon us--- But a bond that can make us stronger, Still wounded and not to sure, But stronger for our sorrows are shared. "WE NEED NOT WALK ALONE" written by Judy Dickey
