To hold you in my arms again would be a dream come true but until MS goes to heaven I'll savour memories of you but should there be a window through which we could touch you'd feel the love and know that I dream of this so much You'd know the route that I take As I remember the day you were born the love you'd see through my tears a heartache that left me so torn I've spoken of my love for you with kind and special friends and some of them have told me tears will help a heart to mend Last year I took special roses and placed them by the stream yellow white for golden sunshine and shared with you my dream I know one day we'll meet again I'll know you by your smile because my darling daughter you made my life worthwhile As I fed swans by the river so gentle was their touch I thought of all my anger to lose you both is cruel and hurts so very much.

This is a lovely tribute to your daughter - I know she's smiling down on you now (and she's got a beautiful smile as you do). Take care, my friend. You are in my thoughts this week, Cindy. |

Tender, touching and beautifully done, Cindy. HUGS to you on this trying weekend. My prayers are with you. A Letter From Heaven I’m sending hugs and kisses from above To let you know I’m thinking of you still; I’m safely snuggled in His arms of love In Paradise, according to His will. One joyous day you’ll see me once again When time and space no longer separate Me from your side; we’ll be together then A blessing that no one can confiscate. Until that day remember I love you And that I’m smiling down upon your way To give you strength in everything you do To fill your heart with cheer from day to day… And playing with the angels all the while So Mommy dry your tears, give me a smile. |

Cindy, You have already touched through the spiritual window, in all your thoughts, and prayers, your sorrow, your longing, and even when writing this lovely poems. The window is open to your heart and soul. This is so beautifully written. Hugs Liz |

Cindy-- my heart goes out to you. i know how hard it is to lose someone who you love so very much. i can't imagine what it is like losing a child. but i do know what it is like to lose a parent. i am the same age your daughter would be...and six years ago i lost my mom. i know the hurt, the pain, the confusion, and the sadness that goes along with this kind of pain. i am so sorry for your loss! maybe and this thought does make me smile a little...your daughter and my Mom are up in heaven together as friends.  you willbe in my thoughts. take care. amy |

friends gather 'round lifting up smiles from sorrowful frowns their own aching cares travelworn for the lost child that was born friends gather into open arms keeping close loved ones with mutual ache women know best, but men are learning too when grief is shared, it's lessened by these few... you have our hearts, our prayers are with you it's never enough, I know but trust in God's wisdom, it's best and she's there on his side, you know...

As the country song goes, "There's holes in the floor of heaven" and you have to know that she is watching you and yes there are windows too and your window is in your heart. This is a beautiful tribute of love to your daughter. She is with the Lord right now and smiling and singing with angels just waiting for that day when the two of you will once again find your way to each others arms. Hugs to you and prayers as well. |

Oh what beautiful words you have written for your sweet angel RG...Hoping that you find comfort knowing that she's gotten her downy wings and is soaring through the heavens, watching over you. Thoughts and prayers to you dear lady. Bonnie |
