Is The Symbol For Grief
Sandra, a special needs child, was our life for almost 11 years.
She loved everyone, never learning how to think poorly of anyone.
With her sweet spirit and loving disposition she could steal your heart in a brief moment.
She loved her church family and always had to get down front for the children's sermon early so she could save the pastor a seat and give him a big hug.
She would have to get her grandmother's attention in the choir from our usual seat in the balcony by a wave or a little curtsey that brought a smile to the face of many choir members.
Her little prayers, so simple yet so sincere, never failed to bring tears to my eyes.
Only God knows how many lives she touched in her short time.
I know she touched us in a way we will never forget.
Sandra, we thank God for loaning you to us for the time you were in this world, but miss you in a way words cannot describe.
You taught us a depth and type of love that we never knew before we had you.
We especially miss your happy smile, warm neck hugging greetings, our walks together where you would always pick a flower to take to grandma, times at the park and the comfort and joy you brought to us at all times.
We know that you are now with the Lord and that you possess a perfect body with no more seizures and the ability to talk and sing with the utmost clarity.
Sandra, our lives will never be the same until we join you in heaven.
Our daily prayer is that the Lord comes again very soon.

God gave me such a short time
To fill your hearts with love and sunshine
I hope I touched each and every one of you
As I so swiftly passed through
God doesn't make us all perfect in every way
So each of us have our own
Statement to say
Perhaps I smiled when you needed it
Or drew you a picture or two
Thank you for allowing me
To share the time with you
Don't cry for me
For I am not alone
For God has let my Daddy
Show me the way to our heavenly home
I miss you all
But not for long
For Daddy and I
Will be waiting for you
When you make your journey
To our heavenly home
So take your time
For Daddy and I have
To catch up on a thing or two
I love you all so much
But it is so beautiful here
And you see, here
God make us all perfect
