RIP Ryder Pearson

Tiny Footprints on a Mother's Heart

When a baby arrives,
be it for a day, a month, a year or more,
or perhaps only a sweet flickering moment-
the fragile spark of a tender soul
the secret swell of a new pregnancy
the goldfish flutter known to only you-
you are unmistakeningly changed...
the tiny footprints left behind on your heart
bespeak your name as Mother.

I thought of you and your family, as I read this poem. I hope you find some comfort in it. I am sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Sweet Kandi & Erik,
As I've said before. There are just no words that will suffice at a time such as this. I am nothing short of amazed at your strength. I am so very, very sorry.... And I love you both.
Rest in Peace precious beautiful Ryder. While your time with us was far too short. Your impression on my heart will last for the rest of my life.

Hey little man, you have touched my heart in the biggest of ways I never thought possible! I know that someday we will meet and I will get to hold you in my arms, but as for now, I'll forever hold you within my heart! Love you Ryder

If tears could build a stairway,
And prayers a lane,
You'd no doubt walk up to heaven
And bring him home again.
I hope our prayers, thoughts and hugs keep you strong through this sad time.
Love from your FB friend Viv x

Kandi and Erik,
There are no words to express my sadness for you at this time other than to say that we are all holding you and your family up in prayer.
