For my Miracle ...

When we walk to the edge of all the light we have
and take a step into the darkness of the unknown,
we must believe one of two things will happen ~
there will be something solid for us to stand upon,
or we will be taught to fly.
--Anonymous




I raise your light to the heavens, and smile ...

May peace be yours dear Trish ... I will miss you forever.

May the light that Trish shared, and the spirit of our own miracle live in our hearts forever. She will make one very special angel, she will.

And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

From an Angel on high
a tender message of love was softly whispered into the ear
of this humble scribe....

Weep not for me
now that I have passed.
Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy
not just the recent tears.
Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.
Hold fast to the love that we shared.
Be happy with the time we spent together
and being anew.
For I am not really gone,
I am closer than ever before.
As the morning sun rises
and throughout the busy day...I am with you.
Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon
and we watch the day turn into night...I am here.
You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber
as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."
The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky
help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
I am the wind in the trees
and the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky
and a glorious rainbow after the storm.
I am morning dew
and freshly-fallen snow.
I am a butterfly flying overhead
and a puppy happily at play.
I am a smile on a stranger's face
a gentle touch
a warm embrace.
Listen to the wind for my message of love.
Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.
Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.
Open your heart to know...I am not gone.
Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.
I am here.
Have no fear.
I am with you,
Always.

Unknown

Trish, you were our beautiful angel and now Jesus has called you to be among his angels. You will truly be missed. You will forever live on in our hearts.

LOVE

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast.
It is not proud, it is not rude.
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
But rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
Always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7




Teach only love ...

~ Calling All Angels ~

Then it’s one foot, then the other
As you step out on the rough road
You step out on that road
How much weight, how much?
Then it’s how long, how far
And how many times before it’s too late?

Calling all angels – Calling all angels
Walk me through this one; don’t leave me alone
Calling all angels – Calling all angels
We’re tryin’ and we’re hoping
But we’re not sure how …

And every day you gaze upon the sunset
With such love and intensity
Why it’s almost as if, oh, if you could only crack the code
Then you would finally understand what this all means

But if you could … do you think you would have
Traded it all for the pain and suffering?
Ah, but then you would have missed the beauty
Of the Light upon this earth and the sweetness of the leaving

Calling all angels – Calling all angels
Walk me through this and don’t leave me alone
Calling all angels – Calling all angels
We’re trying, we’re hoping
We’re loving and we’re hurting
We’re crying, we’re calling
‘Cause we’re not sure how this goes

Miracles

Believe in your heart that something wonderful is about to happen.

Love your life.

Believe in your own powers, and your own potential, and in your own innate goodness.

Wake every morning with the awe of just being alive.

Discover each day the magnificent, awesome beauty in the world.

Explore and embrace life in yourself and in everyone you see each day.

Reach within to find your own specialness.

Amaze yourself and rouse those around you to the potential of each new day.

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect; this is the essence of your humanity.

Let those who love you help you.

Trust enough to be able to take.

Look with hope to the horizon of today, for today is all we truly have.

Live this day well.

Let a little sun out as well as in.

Create your own rainbows.

Be open to all your possibilities; all possibilities and Miracles.

Always believe in Miracles.

I Grieve

it was only one hour ago
it was all so different then
there's nothing yet has really sunk in
looks like it always did
this flesh and bone
it's just the way that you were tied in
now there's no-one home

i grieve for you
you leave me
so hard to move on
still loving what's gone
they say life carries on
carries on and on and on and on

the news that truly shocks is the empty empty page
while the final rattle rocks its empty empty cage
and i can't handle this

i grieve for you
you leave me
let it out and move on
missing what's gone
they say life carries on
they say life carries on and on and on

life carries on
in the people i meet
in everyone that's out on the street
in all the dogs and cats
in the flies and rats
in the rot and the rust
in the ashes and the dust
life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and on

it's just the car that we ride in
a home we reside in
the face that we hide in
the way we are tied in
and life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and on

did I dream this belief?
or did i believe this dream?
now i can find relief
i grieve

~ Peter Gabriel ~



You are never far from my thoughts ...

Farewell Blessing

May the long time sun
Shine upon you,
All love surround you,
And the pure light within you
Guide your way on.

May the love of everyone here be with Patrick and Trish's family today and may they be comforted by our thoughts and prayers.

Trish, you are gone but live forever in the hearts of so many who loved you.

Prayer by M.D. Hughes


The tide recedes but leaves behind bright

seashells on the sand.


The sun goes down but gentle warmth still

lingers on the land.


The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet

refrains..


For every joy that passes, something beautiful

remains.


-- M. D. Hughes

Prayers to all today,,,

Becky

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

~ An Irish Blessing ~

Arms Of The Angel

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the Angel, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the Angel, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of the Angel ... may you find some comfort here

~ Sarah Mclachlan ~

(((Pattee)))

I've always loved that song and there are a handful of songs I've played over and over this past year because they remind me of my son, and now Trish. Sometimes music helps, sometimes not, but whatever it takes to get thru it ...

love and prayers,

deedee
