That is nothing new.

I though about you yesterday and the days before that too.

It has been very hard on the family but we keep going on.

We keep doing it because we remember you were always strong.

We promised momma that we would have Christmas each year.

When we get together we laugh we smile and there are even some tears.

Years may come and go by

But our love for our momma and daddy will never die.

We love and miss you both.

The sun came up this morning;
  It wasn't very bright.
My dark mood casts a shadow:
  It's hard to see the light.

We all have just one mother
And, now that her life on earth is done.
The emptiness and loss I feel
Make it hard to see the sun.

 Tomorrow is a brand new day;
May the pain and sadness lighten.
I will remember all her love,
And then the sky will brighten.

Gone is not forgotten;
Her love remains behind;
She's traveled in a new direction-
Love knows no space or time.

I will always love her.
She will care for me from above.
She will send me starlight and rainbows
To remind me of her love.

I'm in the winter of my life;
It is the strangest thing.
Outside I see the seasons passed;
Inside it seems like spring.
I look behind; there's nothing there.
Ahead is much the same.
To find the purpose in between
Now seems to be a game.
When I was young I did not think
Things would turn out this way.
Of age I did not think at all;
Forever young I'd stay.
Now balanced on the edge like this
Is not for faint of heart.
The end is near so I know that
Today I could depart.
I have a choice; I carry on.
It is a common fight.
I only hope that God is there
To take me from the 'night'.

Mom's seventy-nine; death has to come
Yet sadness I know still.
But in her space I won't remain
When eyes begin to fill.
I'll show her only happiness
And not the pain inside
By going deep within to where
Fond memories reside.
And when I can't contain my tears
The place that I will go
Is out into her garden where
They'll make her flowers grow.

God's Divine Promise

It happened, oh, so long ago,
One cold and starry night,
A special child named Jesus
Was born to bring us light,
Great joy and understanding
And profound faith in Him--
The Savior God had promised
To cleanse away our sin.
He changed the world forever
With messages divine,
With hope for all believers
And love for all mankind.
His words are filled with promise
Of the glory yet to be
The day we enter Heaven

And find eternity.  

I won't be far away, for life goes on

Just listen with your heart and you will hear,

for my love is always near.

I love you my family and Friends

 Momma & I

We are connected, Momma and I,
By an invisible cord not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord that connects us at birth,
This cord can't be seen by any on Earth.

This cord does its work right from the start,
It binds us together attached to my heart.

I know that its there, thought no one can see,
The invisible cord from Momma to me.

The strength of this cord is hard to describe,
It can't be destroyed, it can't be denied.

Its stronger than any cord man could create,
It withstands any test, can hold any weight.

Though you are gone and you're not here with me,
The cord is still there but no one can see.

It pulls at my heart, I am bruised, I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline as never before.

I'm thankful that God connects us this way,
A parent  and child, death can't take away.

Love you and miss you momma love your Baby girl Sandy

   I miss you momma

 I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday
And the days before that too.
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name,
All I have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake
With which
I'll never part
God has you in His keeping
I have you in my HEART
