 Your absence has gone through me like thread through a needle. Everything I do is stitched with it's colour. ~ W.S. Merwin (1973)

 Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you..... I loved you so -- 'twas Heaven here with you." ~ Ilsa Paschal Richardson

To lose a child is the most unbearable loss of all, and this I promise you my Angel ... I promise to keep you in my heart forever. I will talk to you, tell you every day how very much I love you, relive all the good memories and try very, very hard to not concentrate on the day you left us. I promise I will continue to talk about you for the rest of my life. I will never, never forget that you lived and who you were. YOU will always be my HERO! I promise to live everyday to make you proud. I learned so much from you. You taught me the true meaning of unconditional love.

With each year that passes, every month that comes to an end, the weeks that go by and the days that withim away you are missed. I find myself thinking about you often. Memories are all I have of left of you. I love that I still remember you, I love that I can still see your face, and I love that I can still hear your voice. All these years later and I know you left us for others to gain. Your strength continues to show deep within me. I spend my days learning and growing and I do this through you. You may be gone but you will definitely never be forgotten. Your life here was short but you left such a large mark on all of us. We will remember you today like every other year. Miss you always….mom
