Written In Stone

Your gravestone finally arrived today,
That's what the voice on the phone had to say.
"Come check it over, make sure it's right,
and I will set it before tomorrow night."

I cannot begin to describe the shock that I felt,
When I laid my eyes on your stone, another blow was dealt.
Seeing your name, written boldly in stone,
My knees got...

Three Years

It's been three years now
And my how the time has flown.
It seems like just yesterday
God took you to another home.

Not a day has passed
Without so many thoughts of you.
Nor a more monumental task
Than holding at bay this constant feeling of blue.

I still look at your pictures
Every single day.
I still watch your videos
And laugh at the silly things you'd...

Gone To Soon
By: Shelly Ballard

Why did you have to go ?
Leaving me all alone .
Wondering what might have been.
What sort of man you would have become ?

Why did you have to leave?
Leaving me here to grieve.
Grieving the loss of my child .
Begging to wake up from this nightmare, all the while .

Why did you have to die?
Leaving me here to cry .
Crying for the son I miss.
Crying for one last hug or kiss.

And on this day,
God took you
God took you from me.
Alone without you,
Alone I'd forever now be.
Always wondering,
Wondering what could I have done?
To change the outcome,
And not be left so alone.
I hate this feeling
This feeling of something missing.
This feeling of hoping,
This feeling of Praying and wishing.
I hate missing you,
I hate feeling so...

I feel like I' ve just existed
And now it's been 4 years.
I don't know how I' ve lived and breathed
Without you being here.
I know you lived your lifetime
As short as that seems to me,
But the pain in my heart is still so great,
Yet I know your spirit is free.
At times I think I hear you
The thoughts come to my mind.
I struggle for the sound of your voice,
But your voice I cannot find.
Yet you come to me in many...

JOSHUA WALKED!


I remember that day in December when Joshua was born. I'll never forget it because within seconds of his birth, Josh began to walk. Josh walked right into the heart and soul, the very core of his mother. He walked right into the life and heart of me, his "Darling".

Josh couldn't wait to take his first steps, and I think he would have skipped crawling altogether if he could and why not??? Josh was wonder struck by everything he saw or touched. He had no...
