Maaliyah you are remembered and thought of until this day. You will never be forgotten. I'll never forget you climbing up my leg to get into my arms, so you could reach chocolate off the top of the entertainment center. I remember you didn't want you dinner, but no one was looking so I made sure you got what you wanted. You were so cute, I couldn't tell you no.

Where are the soft brown eyes of affection?
Where is the laughter and talk of childhood reflection?
Where is the loving care when I was sick or sad?
Where is the generous soul for which I was glad?
Where is the forgiving and understanding heart?
Where are the bonds that were there from the start?

I miss all the little ways you showed you cared,
For there were so many good moments we shared;
Looking back on my life's assorted scenes,
I realized you taught me what love truly means;
You were my trusted confidante and best friend,
On whose loving support I could always depend.

I look at your smiling face in all my photos;
Memories flood my mind as I touch the mementos
From the happy times you and I have had,
But now these bring tears and make me sad;
For the time together went by in a wink,
Life was not as long as we'd like to think.

baby girl i miss you and wish i can see you one last time you are my angel

December 24, 2010

I remember; the laughter, the energy, the little girl so full of life. It's as if she knew she had to live her entire life in just a few short years, and then she left us to play in the fields in heaven; chasing butterflies, to eat whatever she wanted, to do the things we can only dream of. I see Maaliyah in my dreams playing, laughing and having fun. She knew how to smile, to hug, and to show appreciation for life. She is a special little girl. She lived her life to the fullest, as I know she is doing now...

Happy 5th Birthday Stink. I'm going to set 5 yellow ballons for you in ur honor so i need u to catch one for me. It's still hard for me. But it's gettin easier for me. I think x-mas was the hardest thing for me because i always have a gift for you to open but last year i didnt. Everyone been askin about you lately. I mean everyone. All my friends, and family. I know your mom is probably having a bad time right now. And i'm goin to pray for her and hope things get better for her because i dont understand the kind of pain she feels, I just dont have the heart to talk to her right now cause i'm hurting but i do love her stink and if it wasnt for her to have u, then i wouldnt have u as a angel in my life. (here comes the tears) stink i love u soooo much and only god can tell how much i love u. But i hope u lookin down on me and everyone else. Because on jan. 30th is the day i'm goin to need u the most. Happy birthday baby. I love u

I got past this holiday for you now i'm waitin on ur b-day to come so i can celebrate in your honor. Jan. 30, 2002 is wen a angel was born. I kno you are a angel stink because i wouldnt be able to make it this far if i knew u wasnt. I love u stink, take care of ur mama. I kno this is the hardest part of the year for her. She has to watch your brother and sister open up gifts and think about you being in a better place. Well i'm gettin alittle emotional right now so i will talk to u soon stink. I love u.

Hey Stink! :( i just wanted to come and say i love you. I miss you sooooo much stinky. And i hope that you are watching over me. Next year is goin to be the biggest year for me. So i hope you r goin to help me get thru it. Love ya Stink. I hope you and meeyon are havin fun and eattin alot of chicken. Kisses and love ya.

ohh stink i forgot to tell you, or i dont kno if i told you already but you are the reason why i wanna grow a relationship with the Lord jesus. I tell myself if i didnt have him then i wouldnt be able to set you free and have you continue living your life in my heart. He is helping me get thru this. He is the reason why i can look at your pic and smile. He is the reason why i can write in your obituary and not shed a tear. Because you r with him and you and him are helpin me get thru the darkest shadows i've been facing. I just want you to know that i truly love you stink. You r my baby. You r the reason why i wake up in the morning. Because if you cant live your life for "YOU" then i'm going to live my life for "US". And i kno that you are watching over me to make sure i accomplish that goal. Anyways maaliyah i love you mami. Stay bein my angel. Stay watching over me and stay eattin that chicken lol. You r gods child. Not only you so is meeyon and all thee other little angels god had to send for down here on earth. I keep a candle lit for you, wen that lite blows out then i kno you are alright. bye my love. give granny kisses for me.

Lord, i come to you today to say thank you, thank you father for sendin this little girl in my life, thank you father for allowin this little girl make a big impact on others life, thank you lord for giving her the glory and not lettin her suffer lord jesus. Thank you for allowin her to watch over us on earth dear lord, thank you for acceptin her in your kingdom lord, thank you. If it wasnt for you her lord jesus, i dont kno how i was goin to be able to allow you to enter my life lord. I just ask you to bless me lord with jesus blood. Lord bless me to see no evil or do no evil. Lord i bless that you will continue to let me see light and not no dark shadows lord. Lord i bless that you will just touch everyone whose been affectin by maaliyah lost here on earth and let them kno lord jesus she is in a better place. Lord just let them kno she is home in your mighty kingdom. Lord let them kno that she is fine and eattin her chicken lord. as i praise you jesus. In jesus name AMEN

Hey Stink!!! :( man stink i miss you so much. Everytime i start to think about you, i just cry. Your favorite holiday is coming up and i dont think i will be able to handle it. I tell myself that god took you for a reason. And you are watching over ALL of us, but then at the same time i also ask myself WHY. Why did this little gurl have to come and make a huge impact on my life, why did i let myself get sooo attach to this little gurl, why did she have to go, why cant i just see her on last time, why, just why. And stink nobody can never answer that question for me. I pray so hard that i can be the one guidin you thru life. But i cant. I'm tryin so hard stink to let you go but my heart wont let me. I try to accept that fact you gone but my mind wont let me. I faces difficult challenges in the upcomin months. Christmas then your birthday the followin month. Jan. 30th. You will be 5 yrs old. U will be a big girl. And i just wish u was here to celebrate it. I may sound selfish stink because all i talk is about me,and why i cant get thru this heart ache but i love you so much. I feel like god put u in my life for a reason. I lost my great-grandma Oct.2001 and you was born Jan. 30th 2002. I been there for u since u was only 3 weeks old. and to me, you are a part of me. I been goin to church lately because i'm at the point of life that i need to grow a relationship with god. because this is the toughest challenge i can ever face in life. I cant write no more stink because i'm over here filled with emotions and crying. But i just want to let you know that i love you deeply and you will never be forgotten. I love you stink. Please help me get thru this heart ache i face alone.

P.S. Stink you still havent come to my dreams and let me kno you are okay. PLease make your mark on me so i can have closure and my heart can set you free. Love you. and tell grandma and meeyon i said hello.

Wow!!!!! i dont kno wat to say or even kno where to begin. I miss you maaliyah. i miss u so much. and its a struggle for me everyday cause i have to remind myself that you are no longer here. I pick up tha phone and attempt to call your mom and want to tell her i want you and ur brothers and sisters for a weekend but i realize u are not here. Since u been gone i been mess up. I just dont understand life and why it has to be so complicated. I just want to hear your voice, feel your touch, and give you a big hug and let u kno that i love you. But i cant and i kno you with god and the rest of tha angels but its still hard to accept that you are gone and i neva had a chance to say good bye. I ask you if you can aleast come to my dreams to let me kno that you are at peace i think that will give me closure but i cant do it maaliyah. I just cant shake this feeling off. But all i can do now is pray and hope god will give me tha power to get thru this.



I love you maaliyah, and i promise to hold u down



Rest in peace maaliyah.BKA.stinky!
