I wish For More Yesterday & More Tomorrows / Mom My hands were busy through the day I didn't have much time to play The little games you asked me to I didn't have much time for you.
I'd wash your clothes, I'd sew and cook, But when you'd bring your picture book And ask me please to share your fun, I'd say: "A little later, son."
I'd tuck you in all safe at night And hear your prayers, turn out the light, Then tiptoe softly to the door . . . I wish I'd stayed a minute more.
For life is short, the years rush past . . . A little boy grows up so fast. No longer is he at your side, His precious secrets to confide.
The picture books are put away, There are no longer games to play, No good-night kiss, no prayers to hear . . . That all belongs to yesteryear.
My hands, once busy, now are still. The days are long and hard to fill. I wish I could go back and do The little things you asked me to.
Seven Months Today, Miss you More than Ever / Mom If you love me, do not weep, If you only knew the Gifts of God & what Heaven is! If only you could Hear the angels’ song from where you are, and see Me among them! If you could only see before your Eyes the eternal fields with their horizons, and the New path in which I walk! If only you could Contemplate for one moment the Beauty that I see Beauty before which all others fail and fade. Why do you who saw me and loved me in the Land of shadows, why do you think you will not see Me and love me again in the land of unchanging Realities? Believe me, when death breaks your chains as it Has broken mine, when on the day chosen by God Your soul reaches Heaven where I have preceded you, Then you will see him who loved and still loves you. You will find his heart the same, his tenderness Even purer than before. God forbid that on entering a happier life, I should Become less loving, unfaithful to the memories and Real joy of my other life. You will see me again Transfigured in ecstasy and happiness, no longer Waiting for death, but ever hand in hand with you Walking in the new paths of light and life, slaking My thirst to the full at the feet of God from a font of Which one never tires, and which you will come to Share with me. Wipe away your tears and if you love me truly, Weep no more.
Thinking about one years ago today / Mom Was just thinking about a year ago today. We got up early and was on the road by 10AM to move you back to school, after having a wonderful summer together. You were probaly ready to get away from me. And ready to do some serious partying with all your college friends. ..I wonder if everyone @ school, will miss your smile and look around to see if you are there. I'm sure they will be trying to full your seat, but I know they can never do that , as you left them with a empty heart. So as all your friends start this year back @ college , I wish them all a great time, and I know you will keep a watchful eye on them. I just wish you were here to join in all the fun with all your friends. Forever missing you in my life. Love Mom I just found this picture on Lycoming College web site today under Computor science Majors. ( I can only wish )
Sunny days seems to hurt the most- / Shane Sunny days seem to hurt the most Wear the pain like a heavy coat I feel you everywhere I go See your smile, I see your face I hear you laughing in the rain Still can't believe your gone
It ain't fair you died to young Like a story that had just begun But death tore the pages all away God knows how much I miss you All the hell that I've been through Just knowing, no one could take your place
Someday's the sky's so blue I feel like I can talk to you And I know it might sound crazy
Sunny days seem to hurt the most I wear the pain like a heavy coat The only thing that gives me hope Is I know, I'll see you again someday
Someday, someday - Kenny Chesney
This song pretty much says it man, I love you and save me a spot next to you- Shane
To All My Family & Friends (Believe) / Mom Angels On Earth
Just a note to let you know the experience I had yesterday on the 5th month of Jimmy’s passing.
I went down to the accident site as something told me I had to be there. All the roads washed out & I almost said "Sorry Jimmy but Mommy just can’t get there", than on the other hand, I always did what Jimmy asked. So with my friend Joann in tow, we finally got there, I was shocked it was all overgrown with weeds, as we started to clean up the area and fix everything, a car pulled up with a lady (a angel sent from heaven ), who said she did not know why she was there, but was there to tell me something I never expected to hear. She has been trying to contact me and ask if it would be ok for her to keep the area clean, I said that would be wonderful as it is hard for me to get there all the time, and it was my Jimmy last place before he left and I need it looking good, as he was always so neat about himself and everything. Than we started talking and her husband came upon the accident scene within seconds , he said Jimmy died in a instance, and he stayed by his side until they took him away, She also told me that if My Jimmy didn’t swirve to avoid a head on collision other people would have died with him. Everyone who ever knew Jimmy knows he was the protector and always watched out for others.
SO I NOW BELIEVE THERE ARE ANGELS ON EARTH
The story doesn’t end there, I decided to take a picture, as my sisters were never there, I wanted them to see it. I started to take the picture & in the right corner of the picture was a white area, I though I was nuts, so I called Joann to take a look, she said Oh my God it looks like a Dove is there. We both looked at the tree and it was just a tree with the bark missing at the site were the car hit, I was thinking I was going crazy then I took a picture of the other side of the tree no white dove. Joann and I were shaking at this time but felt such peace. I said lets take another picture, then the dove showed up again this time he was going up in the air.
Jimmy and I had a very special relationship as you all know and I do believe he is trying to let me know he is ok and at peace and want me to go on. If anyone ever told me something like this I would say WOW, they are crazy. But knowing Jimmy he had a strong personality and I now believe he is at peace in wonderful place called Heaven.
Jimmy is still doing thing to make his mother proud, I miss him so much and wish he were here, to share in my life. But I know he is always next to me and to all you.. Please keep him a ive in your hearts and pray for him everyday so he can fly high.
MISSING YOU SO MUCH/I JUST WANT TO HOLD YOU A LITTLE LONGER / Mom
Every day when I wake up I can't believe your really not here with me,
I wait; oh how I wait, I listen for the sound of your car topull into the driveway, the sound of your voice as you tell me your home, I want so badly to see that beautiful dimpled smile and hear the scuffing of your feet coming thru the house. But instead all I have are the pictures throughout the house, the horrible emptyness, the memories in my head and the pain in my heart. I don't feel the pain has lessoned at all like everyone says it will it's just grown worse. It's harder and harder to go on without you here with me, how could it be a 4 1/2 months? It only seems like yesterday since you were here talking about all the things you had to do, going to shore with Matt , Mike and Shane, Doing so good with your school work,telling me about the computer projects (which I never understood)talking about moving on in your life, maybe a new girlfriend, a new job. So much to do, giving me big bear hug, and enjoying every minute of every day. I want so bad to hear you yelling MOM and not really needing anything at all. I miss you SO there are no words to describe how bad. I don't know how I'm supposed to go on without you by my side and I just don't understand WHY it had to be this way? I talked to you on the phone 6 times before your accident and we always said good-bye I LOVE YOU, so I know in my heart you died knowing how much you were loved .I just wish I could have been there with you, you were all alone in the cold. I don’t know if you were in pain or if you were calling me. I have so many questions and no answers, If only I could have held you and said good-bye. I Love you my son and look forward to the day I can hold you in my arms and tell you how much I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU. Always in my heart my only son.
HUGS & KISSES
Forever Your Mom
My brother, my friend / Dina (Sister) I heard this song this week and thought of you:
My Old Friend (Tim McGraw)
My old friend, I recall The times we had hanging on my wall I wouldn't trade them for gold Cause they laugh and they cry me Somehow sanctify me Their woven in the stories I have told And tell again
My old friend, I apologize For the years that have passed Since the last time you and I Dusted off those memories But the running and the races The people and the places There's always somewhere else I had to be Time gets slim, my old friend
My old friend, this song's for you Cause a few a few simple verses Was the least that I could do To tell the world that you were here Cause the love and the laughter Will live long after All of the sadness and the tears We'll meet again, my old friend
We Remember Them / Karen Hall (Kassie Hall's mom ) In the rising of the sun and its going down, We remember them
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, We remember them
In the opening of the buds and in the rebrith of spring, We remember them
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, We remember them
In the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
We remember them
In the beginning of the year and when it ends, We remember when
When we are weary and in need of strength, We remember them
When we are lost and sick at heart, We remember them
When we have joy we yearn to share, We remember them
So long as we live, they too shall live, For they are now a part of us, As we remember them
