In one of the stars I shall be living.
In one of them I shall be laughing.
And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing
When you look at the sky at night.
You - only you - will have stars that can laugh.
And there is sweetness in the laughter of all stars
And in the memories of those you love.
~ The Little Prince - Antoine De Saint Exupery
My Mom Is A Survivor
My mom is a survivor, or so I've heard it said.
But I hear her crying at night when all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand.
But, like the sands on the beach that never wash away . . .
I watch over my surviving mom, who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others . . . a smile of disguise.
But through Heaven's door, I see tears flowing from her eyes.
My mom tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom . . . through heaven's open door
I try to tell her that angels protect me forever more.
But I know that doesn't help her or ease the burden that she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her . . . and show her that you care.
For no matter what she says, no matter what she feels
My surviving mom has a broken heart that time won't ever heal."
~ Kaye Des'Ormeaux
Grief is the painful price we pay for our heartfelt connections with others. ~ Deborah L. Davis
Gone Too Soon
Just a few weeks you were here
Not nearly enough time
You'll never know all the lives you touched
Or just how many loved you
You were gone too soon.
Everyone was awaiting your arrival
Anxious and hoping and praying
We all knew the joy you'd bring
And all the love you'd be given
How your family longed to hold you
Even for a moment
You were just gone too soon.
You fought so hard
Harder than anyone could have asked or imagine
We all prayed you'd come home
But it was not to be
God had another plan for you
As much as it hurts all of us
We know you are not hurting anymore
There is no more pain for you
But, Baby Drew, we all miss you
For you were just gone too soon.
