If you would like your child(ren) added to the memorial page, please email me with their first & last name, their birth and death day, and the way they were killed.
I never knew
I never knew what faith was,
till I had to live by it.
Because I lost you.
I never knew that what I believed could be so shattered.
Until I tried to pick up the pieces,
after you left.
I never knew that who I was and where I was going
could change so quickly,
because of broken dreams.
I never knew the grip of despair could hold so tightly,
and shake the core of my being.
Till you left me.. silently.
I never knew how profound silence could be,
till I spoke your name to friends and
no one said a word.
I never knew how long a night could be,
till your leaving left my body hungry for sleep
that just wouldn't come.
I never knew I could love so deeply,
and completely.
Because of your being.
Until I loved you,
I never knew.

There is no doubt that the loss of a child is by far the most painful and horrible loss anyone could ever endure. But when your child is kidnapped, murdered, raped, just instantly taken away, and for not a good reason at all, the emotions are unexplainable.

We never got to say goodbye, we never got to see them that one last time,
we never got to hold them once again, and we wont until we too go to heaven.

So how do we go on? How do we survive our lives, without our precious children?

This is not an easy question to answer, but if you look into your heart, God is telling you that Jesus is taking care of your children now, and they are safe and out of harm, and one day too, you will join them. For now we must live to keep their memories alive, and save other children's lives. God bless you.
