Ask My Mom How She Is

My Mom, she tells a lot of lies
she never did before
From now until she dies,
she'll tell a whole lot more
Ask my mom how she is
and because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie
because she can't describe the pain.
Ask my Mom how she is,
She'll say "I'm alright"
If that's the truth, than tell me,
why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mom how she is,
she seems to cope so well.
She didn't have a choice you see,
nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mom how she is,
"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping"
For Gods sake Mom, just tell the truth
just say your heart is broken.
She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how is she
she'll lie and say she's fine
I am here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again,
we'll smile and I'll be bold.
I'll say, "You're lucky to get in here, Mom
with all the lies you told!"

To the Brackett Family, I am so sorry to heaer about your loss, I have a 2 year old myself, and i would not know what to do without him, you are in my thoughts an prayers, i don;t know you guys but whenever i hear of something like this it brings tears to my eyes, i know it's probably hard, but stay strong that's what your little girl would of wanted, god bless

July 31, 2008

Dear Mike and family, We are so sincerely sorry for Kallie. She was a beautiful little girl. Life constantly gives you questions. Some you may never get the answer for. It's easy for some to say that she is in a better place, when all you want is her next to you. We all experience grief at one point or another, and your family certainly has had more than their share. But know this, there are many many people who are praying for you and your family, who know what you are going through, who will be there when you call, so reach out. Lean on them, let memories comfort your hearts, find strength in one another. Ryan and Abigail need you both more than ever, hold onto each other and never let go.

with a heavy heart,
Zac's Godmother, Lisa

Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama please don't cry~
"Cause I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies."
Please, try not to question God,
Don't think he is unkind
Don't think He sent me to you,
and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child,
and I'm needed up above
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you
and watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost,
that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze,
from a gentle wind that blows
That's me, I'll be there,
planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing,
and your heart feels a little tug,
That's me, I'll be there,
giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.

TINY ANGEL
Tiny angel rest your wings
sit with me for awhile,
How I long to hold your hand, and see your tender smile.
Tiny angel, look at me
I want this image clear...
That I will forget your precious face, is my biggest fear.
Tiny angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren't here for very long...
Why is it, you couldn't stay?
Tiny angel shook her head,
"These things I do not know...
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so".

Dear Brackett family:
I wish you some sort of comfort during these first few weeks, even though now it seems that that will never come. I pray that you find strength to face the days ahead, having other children to be strong for helps, remember you need to take time for your own grief. Life is so unfair, this I know too well, my family prays for yours, it has been 7 months since we suddenly lost our baby girl, If you need us we are here to listen or talk. Stay strong and be there for each other, that is so important.
With caring thoughts

To the Brackett Family-
I have never met your family, but my heart grieves with you. I wanted you to know that Kallie's death has prompted me to teach not only my own children, but all of the neighborhood children about the importance of safety around the pool. Her passing is such a tragedy, but her spirit and her story will teach others each and every day.

With love and sincere condolences

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To Kallie's entire family,
Goodbyes are not forever
And nor is it the end
When angels come to call away
A loved one or a friend.
The empty place that's left behind
Within this world we know
Reminds us just how brief a stay
We have before we go.
So when it's time to bid farewell
To one we'll dearly miss
Let's just say we'll meet again
and promise them with this.....
The true gift is that love remains
Although we now must part...
Until forever and beyond
I'll keep you in my heart.

LITTLE ANGELS
When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometime question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares
With the death of one small child
Who does so much
To make our world
Seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to his fold,
So he picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much
We need them,
And so He takes but a few,
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believe this is difficult
Still somehow we must try
The saddest word mankind knows
Will always be "goodbye."
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind,
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

MEMORIES' REWARD

Memories are the glue.....
that holds our hearts together
when they're broken
from the parting of a soul
Recalling all the good things
of relationships
through memories
will help us when
we need to get control
of emotions running wild
as we're thinking of a child
who's been taken from our
arms to be with God
due to enemy's attack
Yes, we wish we had them back
but we know their body's
laid beneath the sod!
Treasure memories each day
and recall 'tho they're away
every child will be with
Jesus Christ our Lord
and if we trust and obey
we will join them on the day
He returns to claim His Bride
with our rewards!
We'll see loved ones who are
healthy and restored!
