"The Dance" by Garth Brooks

(slow loading page due to graphics, but worth the wait...)

We have four children, one of whom left us
way too soon, he was stillborn after months of bedrest.
His story is below..
I have since had a healthy son,
and he fills our lives with immense joy,
as do our others, but he in no way could ever replace
the one we tried so hard to save. Each of our children are precious
in different and extraordinary ways.
Thank You Dear Lord, for lending us Your Children....

And thank you to all who have written to us with words of love and faith.
It means alot...

 
 
 
CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below.
With tiny lights like Heaven's stars
Reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away the tears.
For I am spending Christmas
With Jesus this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs,
That people hold so dear.
But the sounds of music can't compare,
With the choir up here.

I have no words to tell you,
The joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
To hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain in your heart,
But I am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.

So be happy for me dear ones,
You know that I hold you dear,
And be glad I am spending Christmas
With Jesus this year.

I sent you a special gift
From my heavenly home above.
I send you each memory,
Of my undying love.

After all love is a gift,
More precious than pure gold,
It was always most important,
In the stories that Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other
As my Father said to do.
For I cannot count the blessings,
Or love He has for you.

So have a Merry Christmas,
And wipe away that tear.
Remember I am spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.

This tiny one and the animated picture above is of Emmitt, but Im not comfortable putting a full size photo of him online. Please dont copy pictures.

Emmitt Troy

Nobody else has ever touched
Our lives the way you did.

Dearest little one:
It's been all of three years,
But I can see your tiny face

I still have to fight back the tears,
Memories fill my heart's special place.

What would you look like now, I wonder?
It was so hard to tell, held you so brief..

Three years old, toys, cars, and trains....
Will nothing end my grief?

Just last summer, we had a new son,
Memories of you filled the event
We know he's not a replacement for you,
But he is Heaven sent.

Such a roller coaster we've been on,
Good days and bad..
But we've also had the sweetest times,
in the worst days we've had...

Only a bereaved parent would understand
How I can smile when I talk of you,

For that keeps me going, happy and sane
And my heart forever true...

And my love is still strong,
For the memories of you...
For Our Forever Baby...
Love Mommy


Angels are hard to find...

Letters To Our Angel Baby



Playing in God's Garden
Our Forever Baby

Dear Baby Sommers:
O little spirit that dwelt with me
The wisp of life that was given to you;
O litle one, you are now free,
To live in a world that's just for you.

Quick as your light began to glow,
T'was put out by the winds of change
In April there was the coldest day
The bitterness still touches me.

The waves of pain and sorrow
Were endless in my mind
Until i realized there is a tomorrow
In your world that I have yet to find.

One little soul that would not be born
But that does not mean that your did not exist.
Save me a place and blow your horn,
When we meet it will truly be bliss.

You can tell me about the Garden
And how beautiful everything is,
For that must be why you were chosen,
To show me your loves that I missed.

Love always Mommy 3/18/97

 

Created in the hopes that this will help others in the grief process. Compassionate Friends has been our source of
strength, knowledge, empathy, and warm friendship. Nowhere else have I been able to talk about my
baby with secure knowledge that these people know and understand my true feelings. I love you Compassionate Friends...

WE NEED NOT WALK ALONE




~~Hope~~
Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all

---Emily Dickenson


Far Beyond the Clouds

Far beyond the clouds above
A special garden grows with love.
Special flowers of many blends
Are the children of The Compassionate Friends

THEY LIVED.......
Yes, cry dear souls
For the ones you have lost.
Remember the times you shared-
the fun times, the quiet times,
the sad times, the thoughtful times.

Yes, cry dear hearts
for the loves cut short.
Remember what they gave
the laughter, the tears,
the hopes, the fears.

Yes, cry for the loss of loved ones-
But celebrate, for they have lived.

TCF Poems from the National TCF Website (our lights of love)

Written by TCF Member Jacqueline Brown
For National Children's Memorial Day


Lights of Love

Can you see our candles
Burning in the night?
Lights of love we send you
Rays of purest white

Children we remember
Though missing from our sight
In honor and remembrance
We light candles in the night

All across the big blue marble
Spinning out in space
Can you see the candles burning
From this human place? Oh, angels gone before us
Who taught us perfect love
This night the world lights candles
That you may see them from above

Tonight the globe is lit by love
Of those who know great sorrow,
But as we remember our yesterdays
Let's light one candle for tomorrow

We will not forget,
And every year in deep December
On Earth we will light candles
As................we remember
