Darko's Life
mom August 29, 2011
 
				My Son Lives in Paradis
				 
The dust has settled on the things
That I have stored away
A favorite toy, for little boy
A jar of dried out clay.

A photograph when you were young
Sits quietly on the shelf
Thoughts of you come drifting back
I just can’t help myself. 

A drawing that you made for me
When you were very small
Is framed within this heart of mine
And hangs upon the wall.

A scrapbook lies within the room
Where you once laid your head
Your favorite book, a model car
The pillow on your bed.

I miss you coming in from school
 “Hey mom, it’s me, I’m home”
I miss the little words and hugs
The special times we’ve known.

A part of me just disappeared 
The day you went away
An empty space now fills my heart
There are no words to say.

A closet filled with memories
Of happy days gone by
A baseball cap and souvenir 
Why did you have to die?
 
The trophies that you won at school
Stand proudly on display
Your many friends can’t understand
Why God called you away.

I hear your voice within the halls
It echoes in the night
I see you in the evening mist
And in the morning light.

So many things you left behind
Are now a memory
But little arms that held me tight
Will always stay with me.

An empty space now fills my heart
My boy, my child, my son
You’ve gone into another world
Where golden dreams are spun.

I do not know the answers
It‘s not for me to know
But I will know the truth one day
Just why you had to go.

My turn will come to leave this world
I’ll gaze into your eyes
God’s perfect plan will be revealed
Up there in paradise.

A Mother's Letter, Unsent
 
Dearest Son,

There is no way to mend this gash rent in the weave of my soul. Why do I try? It only frustrates me, angers me, makes me crazy with loneliness. No one, no thing, can heal this wound. Some days I know this, and resign myself to it. Other days someone scratches that 'psychic-itch' in a manner similar to yours, my child, and my heart leaps--but only for a moment. No one, no thing, can restore the beauty of a life once filled with your goodness, a life now shattered by the sudden violence of your exit from our world.

Our hearts are hungry for your presence; our ears strain to hear your laughter, your voice, your singing, to catch an echo from the storeroom of our memories. We groan with tears for our own survival without you...a nightly ritual, this travail. Perhaps these are the birthing cries of His Spirit from within us, moments of Divine intercession. Could it be He is making a different thing, even a useful thing, of these remnants of a love once lived?

That is my prayer. That is our only hope.

Always and forever,
Momma

You Will Never Be Forgotten

I’ll always see your face
The corner of your smile
And all the little things
that no one will ever know
Like it was yesterday,
won’t ever fade away
Goodbye is just a word
that I will never say.

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten

I can‘t hold your hand
Or look into your eyes
And when I talk to you
It just echoes in my mind
But If hearts are made of dust
And if we fell from the stars
I look up tonight
and know just where you are

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten

And the world just keeps on going
It has no way of knowing
That you’re gone

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten.

To Darko


As long as I can dream
As long as I think
As long as I have a memory
I will love you

As long as I have eyes to see
and ears to hear
and lips to speak
I will love you

As long as I have a heart to feel
A soul stirring within me
an imagination to hold you
I will love you

As long as there is time
As long as there is love
As long as I have a breath
To speak your name

I will love you
Because I love you more than
anything in the world
Darko my boy

We Light A Candle
 
 


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.

Relay For Life in Mississauga West 2011

TEAM DARKO

 

Why We Relay

Team Darko is back again! It's our 4th returning year to Realy for Life, a fundraising event we've always held very dear to our hearts. We lost Darko Durbic to his battle with cancer, but not the memories and lessons he gave us all. Darko is very much alive in many hearts, remembered everyday, missed every minute, and loved always.

There aren't enough words in the world to explain how amazing of a guy Darko was. He touched the lives of everyone he met. He is a true inspiration and an exceptional person. Our team consists of only a handful of people who loved Darko with all their hearts, which says a lot...we're a pretty big team ;)

We're hoping you'll help pledge our Team in the 2011 Relay for Life this year, honoring Darko Durbic in our 4th annual 12 hour walk to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. 

 

Welcome to Aimee Brooks' personal page



 

This will be Team Darko's 4th returning year to Relay for Life to honor the name and the life of an individual who touched the lives of everyone he met. Darko's difficult fight was one that was nothing short of tremendous, and yet he never complained, never questioned, never asked for much. But that was just the type of person Darko was, the kind that is so amazing it makes you wonder if they were ever real to begin with, or if he was as cliché as it sounds; 'an angel in disguise'.
 
Darko was an angel to a lot of people, in fact , anyone he met. Because if he could help someone he would. He always put others first truly giving a whole new meaning to the word selfless. Darko was the kind of guy who everyone wanted to be around. A friend once told me they called him 'the under cover funny' type, which couldn't be more true. He was absolutely hilarious, most of the time without even trying to be, he had what it took to make anyone smile. He truly had an infectious spirit that everyone who ever had the honor of meeting would feel completely privledged to have been a part of. He had a way about him of making you feel good about yourself, about life, and could teach you life lessons without even meaning to, he was always wise beyone his years. When Darko passed I didn't know what I would do without him, I don't think anyone did. He was the pillar of strength for so many people, and at the time what felt like the glue to the pieces of my life. Years later, I realize that Darko never really left. He shows us he's here in so many ways, to help us through hardships and celebrate successes. I wouldn't be the person I am today without him sticking by my side, sending me butterflies and support when I need it, and carrying my life lessons learnt from him through the next chapters of my life.
 
So on June 24th, we walk in honor of Darko and everything he gave to everyone he met, and remember the brilliant angel in disguise he always was. We also walk to honour all of the loved ones who have lost their lives to this disease, such as my amazing Grandparents who we miss with all our hearts and the beautiful Deanna Di Clemente who passed this year and is nothing short of an inspiration, always with a smile, and truly missed. We walk to support all of those who are fighting who will beat this disease and show our support and honor their strength! Patrick McClelland, as I've said before, one of the strongest people I know and was recently diagnosed in December 2010. He is an amazing person who is well on his way to beating this disease with a ton of support behind him! We'll be walking for you as well Patty, and everyone else this year who will be able to say that they beat cancer!
 
With your support, lets make this cancer crap history. ;)

Dear Mr. Hallmark , 

  We are writing you from Heaven,

And though it must appear a rather strange idea,

But we see everything from here.

We just popped into all your stores to find a card,

A card of love for our Moms,  for this day for them is hard.

There must be some mistake we thought,

every card you could imagine.

Except We could not find a card from a child who lives in Heaven.

They are still our Mother's To, No matter where We reside.

We had to leave, they understand,

But OH the tears they've cried.

We thought if we wrote to you, that you would come to know, that though we live in Heaven now,

We still love our Mother's So.

Our Moms still talk with us, and dream with us too;

We still share laughter too,

Memories are our way of speaking now,

Would you see what you can do?

Our Mothers still carry us in their hearts,

their tears they hide from sight.

They write poems to honor us,

sometimes far into the night.

They plant flowers in their gardens,

there our living memory dwells.

They write to other grieving parents,

trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark,

Though we no longer live on earth,

We must find a way to let them know

of their wonderous worth.

They need to be honored and remembered too,

just as children on earth will do.

Thank You Mr. Hallmark, We know you'll do your best.

We have done all we can do; To you we'll leave the rest.

Please find a way to tell her

"HOW MUCH SHE MEANS TO ME"
 
Until we can do it for ourselves, When they join us in eternity

Mothers Day Love Sent From Above

To ALL MOMS EVERYWHERE

Darko Durbic

14/11/87 to 07/31/08

You were my son that I once had
and am really proud to have been your mom
I guess you had pain I just didn't understand
Wish you would have come to me, and taken my hand.

Lately I don't seem to get much sleep at night
my pillows soaked from tears, from missing your sight
You broke allot of hearts when you left this place
with only memories left, I constantly chase.

There is one star in the sky at night, I continue to see
I wonder if it's you, looking down upon me?
I miss you son, words could ever express how I feel
I have this pain in my heart that will never heal.

Such beautiful brown eyes, with a heart so free
"Oh Lord" you reminded me so much of me!"
I see you in the faces of children when I look around
but the uniqueness you retained, remains to be found.

You my dear son were definitely one of a kind
with the biggest heart of gold, such a rarity to find
These words are you son 'Lord please let them through
don't ever forget, this old woman will always love you
.

 

You no longer need to ask approval to anyone but your own
now you've entered heavens doors a man, but your not alone

Decisions will be made, by your heart and our Lord above

to give peace through eternity, with Gods never ending love


I will always be in your heart,
with every path that you take
while still walking beside you and every step that you make

I was your mom on earth, you
were my son and a best friend

this is the prayer I give to you
and with undying love I send

I still visit memories of you in thought, walks
, and in prayer
sometimes I turn around suddenly
, hoping to find you there
I will always miss you son, in my life you played
a big part
and the day you went away,
with you.... also went my heart

So carry it carefully
friend, and keep it safe while I'm away
for I will see you soon, and share it with you again one day
Take care my son, my compadre, ...my hugs & kisses
to you
we will be
together again when my purpose here is through..

"These Empty Arms"

These empty arms yearn for you,
my precious baby boy.
While on this earth you brought,
your momma so much joy.

This year you'd have been turning 24,
I wonder what you would have become.
I know God must have needed you,
to take from me, my precious second son.

I remember how you'd make me laugh,
even when I was boiling mad.
I miss you so very much my son,
and this makes me very sad.

I bet it is pretty cool up there in Heaven,
getting to hear the Angels sing.
I can't wait to join you in Heaven son,
what a joy that meeting will bring.

Until my work on earth is through,
I will just have to wait.
Ask God for me one favor please,
to let you be there, to greet me at the gate.
