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

My Last Words To U

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.
