Shane's 14th Angelversary in Heaven/





Let me come in where you are weeping, friend, And let me take your hand. I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, can understand. Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief; I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend, Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand, For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand. -Grace Noll Crowell





Another Angelversary


Another year without you Shane, how can this be true? What keeps me here on earth, how can I make it without you? The heart attacks and health conditions have all the doctors amazed that I'm still alive, They have predicted many times that I couldnt this time survive.


I know there is always a reason for everything , even though we dont have the answers to why, I know its been 14 years and daily I still cry. My heart hurts so bad sometimes I feel I cannot breathe, I take my nitro to stop the pain but it does not relieve.


This pain cant be touched by meds, doctors cant help at all, Its called grief and theres no relief, this road has pits and falls. This grief road has many Moms on it, trying to find encouragement and support, a friend to help them through We cling to each other for we know these Moms know exactly how we feel while others dont have a clue.


Each of these Moms amaze me, that they can get out of bed and try to lead a "normal" life, They are truly survivors in every way, through all toils and strife. I couldnt make it without them for they help me so much, keep me from thinking Im crazy, have lost my mind, For we all feel the same, wonder if we are sane, we are the Moms thats been left behind.


There must be something God needs us to do down here before He calls us home, If I can help just 1 Mom to not feel so alone. If I can encourage them as they encourage me, let them know we are going to join you, our angels one sweet day, When Jesus calls our name to come and rolls the clouds away.


I love you Son and always will forever, to the moon and past, My heart aches so much for you, my love will eternally last. I will never say Good-by, just see you in awhile, Watch for me to enter that gate, I love you my child.

FROM A CHILD TO HIS MOM


The child said, “Please do not think that your life here is over because it was time for me to leave. This is the most divine mission that anyone can achieve here!! Do not let a single breath go to waste. I am much closer to you now than I could have ever been on earth. I am the very air that you breathe. I have been with you on the days that you could not get out of bed.... the days that you prayed for your last breath. I am so very proud that you have made it this far! I caress your face in your sleep and send you signs by day, all to let you know... that I am only a thought away!! You are still a mother.... MY MOTHER! SPACE AND TIME CANNOT AFFECT LOVE AND I DO LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS COULD EVER SAY! But it saddens me that one day out of the thousands that I have lived. The day my physical body died is the day is the day that comes into your mind when you think of me! We have had such a legacy of memories, good and bad, funny and sad, silly and serious, why must I be remembered first for that one? What about my crooked smile (you know the mischievous one) or the sound of my laughter??? What I want for you more than anything is this universe is to LIVE... truly live.... boldly live... with me always in your heart. You can do this. I want you to. The vast amount of love that you hold for me does not require an equal amount of grieving. . It is actually a testament to how much you love me. To let go of your grief and start to find joy again! Letting go of your grief does not mean that you are letting go of me!! It actually means that you will be open to a much closer relationship with me! I have sent you so many signs that you could NOT see because of your grief. It is time to step back on your path Dear Mother... I will be always walking behind you! Please make me proud... Much love, from a child to his MOM.

Mom, Please Listen

Mom, please listen to me as I take the time to write. I see parents struggling daily, Their pain is such a fight...

All of us who've gone And left the rest of you behind... We're ok, Mom, I promise ... Heaven is beautiful and God is kind.

You used to tell me that one day God would call and take you home. You told me you'd make me strong So I would stand tall when alone.

But things happen, Mom That does not go in our plans, I wasn't scared, Mom, When God held out his hand.

I didn't want to leave you, I didn't have time to say good-bye When the angels said, "Come with us" There wasn't time to question why.

I've watched you daily, Mom. It hurts to see you cry. I don't want you to be unhappy, Just because we didn't get to say good-bye.

Tell others what I'm telling you, So many parents need to know That Earth was just a layover We had another place to go.

I know you miss me, Mom I know your heart was broken in two. But God really neededme Because my earthly life was through.

I''m always alongside you... I smile and touch your hair. I whisper "Mom, I love you" You just can't see me there.

I'm the one that gently touches you On your shoulder when you're sad. I'm happy now that you finally found God again, and are no longer mad.

Tell the parents, Mom, for me That all of us kids are okay. God had plans for our lives When he called us home that day.

I love you, Mom, I always will And remember I'm not far away. We're going to be together When God calls out your name.

Angel 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 be seen by anyone on earth.

This cord does it's work right fron 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 and can hold any weight.

Though you are gone and 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 God connects us this way. A mother and child, nothing can take it away.
