Before you were born I carried you under
my heart.
From the moment you arrived on this earth until the
moment I leave it,
I will always carry you in my
heart.
~Mandy Harrison

When you wonder the
meaning of life and love
Know that I am with you
Close your eyes and feel me kissing you
In the gentle breeze across your cheek
When you begin to doubt that you shall ever see me again
Quiet your mind and hear me
I am in the whisper of the heavens
Speaking of your love
When you lose your identity
When you question who you are and where you are going
Open your heart and see me
I am the twinkle in the stars smiling down upon you
Lighting the path for your journey
When you awaken each morning not remembering your dreams
But feeling content and serene
Know that I was with you
Filling your nights with thoughts of me
When you linger in the remnant pain
Wholeness seeming so unfamiliar
Think of me
Know that I am with you
Touching you through shared tears of a gentle friend
Easing the pain
As the sunrise illuminates the desert sky
In that breathtaking brilliance, awaken your spirit
Think of our time together, all too brief, but ever brilliant
When you were certain of us together
When you were certain of your destiny
Know that God created that moment in time
Just for us
I am with you always By Joanne Cacciatore
I
KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING OVER US, THANK YOU EVERYDAY LITTLE ONE...
Thank
you for keeping us "Strong & Courageous", our little
"Super Hero"
May
he live in every one of you as he has in us.
May
he show you that life is so important...
And
~To
live each day to the fullest!!!

Our
Dear Charlie
August
8, 2007 10:48pm - August 19, 2007
8:35pm
He
arrived in this world as fast as he left
On
a mission to our hearts where he’ll always be kept
Battling
the obstacles in his way
His
mission accomplished
The
ending of our little Super Hero’s day
He’ll
forever be with us to cherish and love
For
he’s shining down upon us from his place up above
Don’t
shed a tear for he suffers no more
His
battles are over we will forever adore

A
STAR...
Not long ago, astronomers found in the heavens gaseous celestial
bodies, clouds of cosmic dust, which they think have finally answered the mystery of what exists between the small things in the universe, like the planets, and the bigger things, like the sun. They call this cosmic dust "brown dwarfs" or "pre-stars", because although brown dwarfs have all the elements to become stars, for some reason they never did.
All stars go on to live full lives, from their hot, bright white dwarf stage to their aged cooler and dimmer red giant sage. But "brown stars" only go so far. Instead of being born to live a normal star's life, they remain cool and dim, hiding in the heavens,
sprinkled in clusters among the other stars 150 light years from Earth.
But, like our babies, their roles in the universe are very important. In fact,
scientists believe they serve as a link between the small things and the big things, holding the universe together:
a mid-point between the beginning and ending of our universal story.
As we grieve for our babies who died before reaching stardom of their earthly lives, perhaps we can find comfort in the possibility that they were designated for this
very special universal role. Energized by our love, they are guardians of our memories of what was and our dreams of what some day may
be.
As we look to the heavens, seeking answers, we send messages of love to our
babies...

Angel Whispers...
And if I go,
while you’re still here…
Know that I live on,
Vibrating to a different measure
Behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
So you must have faith.
I wait for the time when
We can soar together again,
both aware of each other.
Until then,
live your life to its fullest
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart,
…I will be there.
~Emily Dickinson |

"Hope
is the thing with feathers that perches on the soul
and
sings the song without the words and never stops at all."
~Emily
Dickinson
I
thought of you today...
But
this is nothing new, I thought of you yesterday and the days before that too.
I
think of you in silence and often speak your name.
All
I have are the memories and your picture in a frame.
It
broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone.
A
part of me went with you the day that you went home.
MISSING
YOU FOREVER ANGEL...
