I wanted to share the lyrics to this song on my LOSS...The words remind me that Gods plan is perfect and how Darko fulfill God's purpose here. It was the most difficult time of my life and yet it made me know that this is my temporary home. I praise you Jesus for 23 years of being Darko's mom. WHAT a perfect BLESSING!!!! I can't wait to spend eternity in my real home.....I love you Darko.....mom

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know the pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise.

Darko, by example you changed me!!!!!

Look for me in springtime 
 As raindrops fill the air
In the splendour of the rainbow
You’ll find my presence there.

You will find me in the fragrance
Of April’s sweet perfume
Drifting through the clover
On a sultry day in June.

An August day will find me
Upon the summer breeze
On the distant sound of the thunder
In the gently swaying trees.

In the golden fields of harvest
Is where I can be found.
As autumn time approaches
And leaves comes tumbling down

In the wintertime when days are short
And chill is in the air
Just look into a moonlit night
You’ll find me lingering there.

When the setting sun has gone away
And shadows fill the night
When the cloak of darkness lifts its veil
I’ll be your morning light.

So when you feel discouraged
Get on your knees and pray
You’ll feel me there beside you
I’m just a breath away.

Every day, in some small way,
Memories of you come our way
Though absent,you're ever near,
Still missed,still loved, and So dear.


 

We light a candle for you today,
So that your death may light our way.
You left your life behind too soon,
Now your light shines by the moon.
A star,an angel you were meant to be,
No longer able to stay with me.
God called you back but you left so much;
You'll never know the lives you've touched.
A child's life gone by too fast,
The memories left are built to last.
So as the candle's light shines through,
We'll remember those we once knew.

We Love You Forever Darko!

Dark, dark water,deep in the night
We deny you as much as we might
You were our son's last sight
As he lay dying, before dawn's light.

Dark, dark water, deep in the night
Where  do you get the right
To take our deepest love, so bright
And kill him, without a way to fight.

When the shadows were erased
From the curves of his beautiful face
His eyes were looking into heaven's grace.
Seldom, if ever, has this been the case.

One sinewy and work-tanned arm
One hand that had given a basketball charm
Out of the water to sound a last alarm
Dark water alone didn't cause my  harm!

Dark,dark water,deep in the night
We'll probe your mysteries to their height
Question even the birds in flight
Ask of that July moon to give no slight

 

RAINBOWS beautify the world for a few brief moments.
These moments are spectacular.
You, Darko Durbic were my brief rainbow.

You  entered my life
And stayed but for a short while 
Nonetheless,the memories of those moments
When you blessed us with laughter and delight.

JOYS and smiles,charm and handsomeness,
Gaiety and happiness
Mischief and stillness,sunlight and moonbeams
Golf and basketball.

Make the horror, the tears of pain and anger,
Helplessness and fear,insanity and agony,
Sadness and heartbreak,emptiness and loneliness
.......bearable.


Rainbows,however brief
Make the world a brighter,lovelier place.
How grateful I am that I HAD YOU,DARKO
My brief rainbow.
