                                         Dear Michelle

My Child, My Friend,

And Now My Angel

Mom, you have to let me go, Because it was meant to be. 

And just because you let me go, Doesn't mean you'll ever lose me. 

You hold my hand and stroke my cheek, As your heart is breaking in two. 

And my spirit is still right there, you see, I'll always be there within you. 

I see your tears and I feel your pain, And I know you just want to die.

 But it's not your time to come here yet, And right now I can't tell you why.

 There's more you have to do there, More lives and hearts you must touch.

 There's other's there around you, Who still need and love you so much.

 So please don't feel like you've lost me, For you haven't, I'm still by your side.

 Now I'm holding YOUR hand and stroking YOUR cheek, 

So you'll want to live and not die. 

Oh Mom, I want you to live now, And I need you to let my body go. 

The part of me you love so much, Is now in the breeze as it blows. 

When you're in the kitchen 'cooking', Or simply just combing your hair. 

When the light in the room just flickers a bit, Know it is me, and I'm there.

 When I was hurting and I was in pain, You were there with your comfort and love. 

Now let me do the same for you, Let me give you those things, from above. 

I'm walking and smiling, and happy, And I want you to know this is true. 

I'm with you and around you still, And I'll be here to help you get through.

 Close your eyes and you'll hear me talking, Open your heart and you'll then feel me there.

 It's not a 'trick' or just 'your mind', It's "me" that you feel on the air. 

So it's okay to let me go, Mom, I'm not in my body, you see. 

Cause I'm in your heart and in the air, And I promise You'll never lose me.

When you Left

Since you left me on November 19th 1999 my life here has been incomplete.

I long for the day that I can hold you and touch your sweet beautiful face

just once more. Every single day goes by and your name is mentioned  and the

hurt never stops. Everyone is always saying "it will get better", well I don't

think so, each second of everyday gets harder and harder to stand the pain

of your sweet presence not being here  with me. It has been 16 months since

you have left me and it has been the hardest months that I ever had to cope with.

 We think of you daily,

and so wish you were here with us. I wanted to write this just to let everyone know

just how hard it is to not have your child with you . It is something I do not wish on

my worst enemy. Yes we get by each day but that is about it, getting by. The days are

long and the nights are even longer. 

I know you are in heaven spreading joy just like you did here on earth. 

My precious one this is for you. I love you with all of my heart and will be with you soon I hope.

Love always your broken hearted mommy.

PRECIOUS CHILD
