REMEMBER
I cant't believe after all this time, the pain still feels like yesterday. I guess a love like our is one of a kind, a love that is true. It's been over a year since you left me.
It like a bad dream that plays over & over in my head.
All the things I wish I had done or said.
There is not a day that goes by I don't think of you.
Even after all this time, I still love you more.
If I only had one wish come true. My wish would be, to hold you in my arms once more and tell you I love you more.
Maybe this is the way mother's are suppose to feel.
Perhaps our wounds are never intended to heal.
I will never forget you because I LOVED YOU FROM THE START.
YOUR LOVING MOTHER

Every waking moment I think about u. U are the blessing that kept me going. I always thought and felt in my heart that u was my purpose on earth,my reson for living. When nothing else went right in my life,I knew that I could never fail u. Now that u are gone I am lost. U gave me life, u gave me meaning, and u gave me joy. When no one else could u made me smile and for that I Love U. U mean everything to me and I will always love u. I hope I will see u again in good health, mind, and body.I love u Taja and I miss u so much. I feel so incomplete because I never said goodbye but its not goodbye its I'll see u later. I love u always.

"Daily Thoughts"
I miss that soft hand in mine.
Over walks, we would take for miles
In Walmart.
I miss you pushing our shopping Cart.
I miss the sihouette, all tucked
Up in bed, That face, I would kiss
Good night.
I miss your nightly ritual,and the
Thoughts of the dreams in your head
I miss you in your pjs sitting in
Your favorite spot.
One morning you awoke early came
Down the stairs to start the
Day by yourself.
I miss washing your hands and the
Songs we would sing while waiting
For dinner.
I miss crumbs left all over the Floor and you laughing because I had to clean it up.
The half dinnier you would leave on
Your plate because you refuse to
Eat it.(smile)
I miss those songs you'd cry to be Played even though you knew them by
Heart.
I miss waving to you as your school
Bus pulled off.
I miss your happy face
I miss your sad face
I miss those tears running down Your little cheeks, then following
smiles that you gave.
I miss the rides we would take to
The mall
As now lonely, I take alone.
I miss standing by your bedroom Door watching you jam to the
Latest tunes.
Yes without you, our house is not a
Home.
I miss all those little kisses you
Gave to me
I miss your hugs
I miss you saying your favorite
words "shut the door"
But most of all
I MISS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU.
YOUR LOVING MOTHER

Although I only knew her for a short time, her presence was always enjoyable. She was definitely a very special person. To me her personality was serene and filled with
God's spirit. I hope the family, especially her mother, can understand why she has been chosen. "God bless you."

Words cannot express the sorrow I feel on the passing of Taja. She held a special place in my heart. I met her at the NDEC and would sit beside her each Sunday. She touched my heart deeply. I will truly miss her.

I am so saddened to hear about Taja. She can hear her gospel music all day every day now. God has called his Angel home. I know her Nana and Papa will miss her greatly...Rest in Peace darling...make sure all the doors get shut!
