Only few will understand this and why I have the pics on here. Sami, Mommy loves you and will miss you terribly.





Six Miles

Here we are with yet one more too hard good-bye
Another day I hold onto you desperately by my side
Every breath that I am breathing seems harder every time
And, to myself I pray for strength some that I can call mine...

Just six more miles ahead and then God how the storms come in
How sorry we have to let each other go over and over again
And, not even a tear for you to see I somehow let you go
All I am, all I love, It's you and all you need to know...

In my mind I picture us and everything I love about you
How quickly memories become the hopeless way to ever make it through
Now, on my way back and beneath the moon overhead
I asked once again if he's heard every word I've said...

Cause it's six more miles, God, I don't want to be alone
I can't go back to what I can't call home
And, so I'll drive this day to an unknown place
And, let the highway give light now to the tears on my face...

You can never hear the lonely I hear every day
Cause I lost all meaning when you went away
Six more miles takes my heart and all I ever believed
I carry the sadness on this rainy highway with just the radio and me...

Just let me find her now here in the night at last
Let me hold her, God, Don't take her back
The six miles doesn't end just where the sign is gone
Cause, Baby, the rain and this highway it still lives on...

Sue, thanks for replying. Here I go again, facing the hardest winds...I just don't know how much longer I can hold on.

Saunni,
Beautiful children! I believe that there is an invisible golden cord between ourselves and our children---unbreakable--and made of love--a true life-line. In this poem, I can see yours, glinting. Hang on! I send hugs.

Your children are beautiful - and your poem is heartbreaking and filled with so much love.

Trust in God by giving Him your burden.  He understands because He is caring for Sami now.

of course, I don't know the details but my heart is breaking all the same for you.
Prayers and love are with you, this is heart wrenching.

Saunni, no one can ever tear apart the love you have for each other, as you are joined at the heart!  I know the love you have for these children, and they adore you as much as you do them, but it does not make this part of your journey any easier.  Just keep your faith and hope, that someday soon, your wishes are granted.  I wish for you the strength to hold in there, as it will get better honey.  Much love and hugs to you all, Sharon x o
