Quotes

A parents love cannot be measured by increments of time… an entire lifetime of love can be squeezed into a few brief miraculous moments when necessary.

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. 

- Dr Seuss

A child fills a place in your heart you never knew was empty.

A persons a person not matter how small

- Dr Seuss

A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again.

- Author Unknown

True love doesn’t have a happy ending, because true love never ends.  Letting go is one way of saying I love you.

Until this moment I never knew how hard it was to loose something you never had.

Sometimes love lasts a moment.
Sometimes love lasts a lifetime.
Sometimes a moment is a lifetime.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away.

In our arms for a moment, in our hearts forever.

Poems

She is Gone

by David Harkin

You can shed tears that she is gone,

or you can smile because she has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,

or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,

or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her only that she is gone,

or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind,

be empty and turn your back.

Or you can do what she'd want:

smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

The Cord

We are connected,

My child and I, by

An invisible cord

Not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord

That connects us 'til birth

This cord can't been seen

By any on Earth.

This cord does it's work

Right from the start.

It binds us together

Attached to my heart.

I know that it's there

Though no one can see

The invisible cord

From my child to me.

The strength of this cord

Is hard to describe.

It can't be destroyed

It can't be denied.

It's stronger than any cord

Man could create

It withstands the test

Can hold any weight.

And though you are gone,

Though you're not here with me,

The cord is still there

But no one can see.

It pulls at my heart

I am bruised...I am sore,

But this cord is my lifeline

As never before.

I am thankful that we are

Connected this way

A mother and child

Death can't take it away!

I thought of you today

I thought of you today,

but that is nothing new,

I thought about you yesterday,

and days before that too,

I think of you in silence,

I often speak your name,

Now all I have is memories,

and your picture in a frame,

Your memory is my keepsake,

with which I'll never part,

No longer in my keeping,

But always in my heart!

Footprints

These are my footprints, 
so perfect and so small. 


These tiny footprints 
never touched the ground at all.




Not one tiny footprint, 
for now I have wings. 


These tiny footprints were meant 
for other things. 


You will hear my tiny footprints, 
in the patter of the rain. 


Gentle drops like angel's tears, 
of joy and not from pain. 


You will see my tiny footprints, 
in each butterflies' lazy dance.


I'll let you know I'm with you, 
if you just give me the chance. 


You will see my tiny footprints, 
in the rustle of the leaves. 


I will whisper names into the wind, 
and call each one that grieves.




Most of all, these tiny footprints, 
are found on Mommy and Daddy's hearts.


'Cause even though I'm gone now, 
We'll never truly part.
