I missed you when we went to see harry potter this year, it wasn't the same without you.

July 7, 2009

I miss you a lot and i think about you almost everyday. In school you always found a way to make me laugh when i would be upset about the homework assignments or just didn't feel the need to be in school. You always had a smile on your face and i always wondered how you did it; always happy never mad, i wish i was like you. I missed you at graduation but you know the class of 09 did not forget about you. We left an empty seat just for you but deep down it teared me up from the inside. To sit there and hear Ms.Oberman say a speech about you and present your diploma as your dad accepted it on your behalf.. believe it or not my make up started to smudge from the tears of sadness because you weren't here to make it up the stage your self.. R.I.P Jamie you will always be loved and missed

Friday is your birthday. Had I known sooner about this my words would have been shared. Without a doubt you were an amazing and loving friend. Despite our differences, we became the best of friends and would always be prepared to shop dramatically. My prayers are always for you and I will never forget you. You have become the inspiration for 09ers everywhere and will remain in all our hearts permanently.

I am the father of two young girls. Your daughter's words touched me in a deep and profound way. What a strong, courageous, and aware young lady.

She and your family will be in my thoughts throughout the Holiday Season, Jamie has reminded me of the importance of being mindful of the seemingly little things.

Please find comfort in knowing that she managed to touch the lives of complete strangers.

This Is It

This is it,
This is life.
This is it,
This is death.
This is it,
This is pain.
This is it,
This is sadness.
This is it,
This is losing someone.
This is it,
Losing a daughter.
This is it,
Losing a friend.
This is it,
Losing a classmate.
This is it,
She’s gone.
This is it,
We have to say goodbye.
This is it,
Life ends too quickly.
This is it,
Her time is now.
This is it,
Be ready for yours.
This is it,
You never know when it will be.
This is it,
The end, the beginning, the start of something new, the end of the suffering.
This is it,
We love you too.
This is really it,
You were our hero and our inspiration.
You smiled through the pain.
We love you too.
You will be missed by many, and forgotten by none.
We’ll be missing you.

Rest In Peace Jamie Rose Connors.
12/5/90-forever- in our hearts.

This is what I would write on your tombstone so that everyone who would read it would have an idea of the person you were. "In loving memory of Jamie R. Connors, an intelligent student,brave soldier,and joyful person." You were like the sun in the sky, when you passed through the hallways at school, because ur smiles were so bright and touching, though you knew your disability you smiled anyways. I don`t know where and how you got the courage to except your situation but you found something to help you walk in to school with a fearless expression. You were such a helpful and giving person even though people should have been giving and helping to you,and many did. Its like you wanted everyone to know you were still able to be like them, do the same things they did, and you did in fact accomplished that. I write this to tell you, you will be missed but never forgotten. Till this day as I write this on October 14th, 2008, I can`t believe your gone. I guess God wanted someone special at his side, so he took you. I hope he keeps you safe and healthy. When I look up above me, and see a sun shine so bright, I will remember your smile and know that you are the shining light that glows in the sky at me. Now I end this and say, REST IN PEACE JAMIE CONNORS,LOVE AND ALWAYS..

You were that writer I never met,
the one I shall never forget.
Your words poured on that page,
so advanced for someone your age.
But why was I full of surprise?
Perhaps having never seen your eyes.
Where all your talent did shine
through those windows to your creative soul divine.
Now in heaven no doubt you are,
where I'll call on you a special star,
to help me as I pour out my prose,
while trying to help those who miss you their exemplary Rose and are feelilng today so much grief
while remaining in disbelief.
Jamie, please know I'll always remember from this October to every September that someone so dear whose poem brought to my heart a realization that you gave to me and others a start,
because of your will so strong,
showing others who still travel the road so long, that we belong,
believing someday we shall see,
you and your talent for eternity...
God bless you, Jamie.

“I’ll lend you for a little time a child of mine,” He said.
“For you to love the while she lives and mourn when she is dead,

“It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three.
“But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me?

“She’ll bring her charms to gladden you, but should her stay be brief,
“You’ll have her lovely memories, as solace for your grief,

“I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return,
“But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.

“I’ve looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true,
“And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you.

“Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labor vain,
“Nor hate me when I come to call to take her back again?

I fancied that I heard them say: Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
“For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we’ll run.

We’ll shelter her with tenderness: we’ll love her while we may,
And for happiness we’ve known forever grateful stay.

“But should the angels call for her much sooner than we’d planned.
“We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.”
