Our Wish

If we could wish upon a star
and see our wish come true,
the only thing we could wish for
is what we cannot do.

To bring our daughter back to us
without her earthly pain
for memories now are all we have,
since parting was such pain.

I know there's other parents
who have shared our darkest night,
for children never should go first,
we should be ‘their’ leading light.

Although I speak the mysteries
of how mind is born of soul,
within our hearts we suffer
from a huge big gaping hole.

We strive for reassurance
that at last we'll meet again,
but until then, like others,
we just learn to live with pain.

Ivor G Davies


The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

Even though I'm not a parent, I can understand the pain you must have gone through... I saw that pain in my parents when they lost a daughter/my sister... my heart goes out to you... know that you will meet again one day.

There are many here who share your sorrow. No matter how long ago, we never lose the love. Our daughters/sons live among us  but never grow old as we do. It is one small consolation. best to you, Latearrival

Hi Ivor

Life is a mystery to me. Often you cant tell by looking at someone in the street what they have had to go through because they appear so happy.

Then there is the promise of the rewards at the end of the road ??? Heaven Indeed

I take other peoples reassurances with a pinch of salt these days.....

What is reassuring however is the Happy Times you shared that cant be taken away and the knowledge you did the best you could

The loss of one's child, is a pain like no other. Yes, a huge gaping hole is left and nothing can ever fill it. I am truly sorry for the loss of your daughter. The pain never truly goes away. However, it does change in shape and size and the edges become less jagged.

My sister lost a daughter and then a son and the sadness still lingers.

Giving you a loving, compassionate hug,

Linda
