Second anniversary ...

Another year's gone by my child
Another year without your smile
I play your voice inside my head
So afraid that I'll forget

If I could have just one more day
I wish that I could find a way
To take away your fear, your pain
And have you with me once again

It hurts my heart that you are gone
From this life and I must go on
Leaning on faith and gratitude
While feeling that part of me went with you

And so I will light a candle tonite
At the moment your spirit took flight
I know that you are at peace and free
And think of you looking down at me

Your life was such a gift to me
A too short moment in eternity
I miss you so and hold you tight
And wait to meet you in the light.

yes they are only a breath a way from us. I lost my husband a year ago. our relationship was prefect. From the day we meet till the day I finally said goodbye...

We keep them in our thoughts and dreams and near us each waking moment we have.

My prayers are with you....and those that have lost a love one....

I'm sorry I missed it too. Sometimes it is hard to come in here. But you and Jason are in my thoughts daily. You are an amazing, wonderful woman.

Prayers for you and all of your family.

Second anniversary...

Why I am I weeping? Not from sadness, but from the presence of God I feel now while the music is playing.

Because I look back and see how I have never been alone.

From the love I receive from each and everyone who share on this site, from all my brothers and sisters.

Prayers to those still going through the wars, may God win them for you.

Thank you, Morning Glory.


Love,
IO Storm

are in that bright land but also with us, a thought , a breath away.

Love you from the heart.

(((Deedee))) So hard to believe how much time has passed... too much and too little. When I remember loved ones who I've lost, "time" is like a snapshot of clouds on a windy day... ephemeral, yet enduring.

Deedee, I'm very late here, but your son is in my heart always and you and your family in my prayers.

Jason has left footprints on the hearts of so many people who never knew him, and I am grateful to be one of them.

In Memory of Jason...

to (((all))) who replied here, thank you from my heart

Time eases the pain in some ways ... but the second anniversary of Jason's death and the month leading up to it were almost as hard as the first. Flashbacks and re-living it; aching to hold him, see his smile, hear his voice; and the date, February 2, a punch in the gut. When the darkness settles in, it's hard to see the light. I'm still fighting my way back and every day I find some small joy is a victory. My world changed forever that day and I'm grateful to all of you who have walked with me this far.


~ Who You'd Be Today ~

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughin' in the rain
Still can't believe you're gone ...

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the pain that I've been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today ...

Would you see the world, would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family?
I wonder, what would you name your babies?
Some days the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy ...

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the pain that I've been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today

Today, Today, Today
Today, Today, Today

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know I'll see you again someday ...

Someday, Someday, Someday ...

I know the anniversary dates are hard! I wish I had some magic words of comfort...Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers tonight. Jason was blessed to have such a loving mom.

Loving hugs...

Deedee,

Your strength and faith are such an inspiration to me.

I know that Jason is smiling at you.

On Suffering

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

~Dr. Kubler-Ross~


You are a beautiful person deedee.



Life is eternal
And love is immortal
And death is only
a horizon
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit
of our sight.
