My Birthday Party in Heaven  

Its my birthday party in heaven

and I wish that you could see 

all that Jesus and my angel friends

have in store for me

My party dress is ready

The present pile is growing

 balloons are on the moonbeams

and even the stars are glowing

my cake is made of clouds and rainbows

the angels have plans for games

birds just hung my streamers

but it just isn't the same

When I look down from my cloud

and see you looking oh so sad

be happy for me mummy

Jesus said be glad

As he has promised that one day soon

it will be you here with me

remember that promise Mummy

 you and me together, forever and eternity

There You'll Be

When I think back on these times
And the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad 'coz I was blessed
To get to have you in my life
When I look back on these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be
Everywhere I am there you'll be

Well you showed me how it feels
To feel the sky within my reach
And I'll always remember
All the strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be
Everywhere I am there you'll be

'Coz I always saw in you my light, my strength
And I want to thank you now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were there for me always

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be
Everywhere I am there you'll be

 

Dear Grace,

Mummy misses you oh so much, three wow that is such a big girl age.  It's so hard to believe its been three years since you were last in my arms. We knew nothing that morning that our second day with you would be our last. I remember waking so happily, so alive with excitement that my baby girl was here and was well. It had been a hectic 24 hours, when i was convinced we would lose you, but you showed us all your fighting spirit and pulled through with flying colours. I remember Daddy was late coming in, and I was so wanting to go and see you, I hadn't seen you since the brief glimpse on my way to the ward. Daddy arrived but the nurses had yet to unhook me from drips and tubes so more waiting. While we were waiting Daddy and I wrote out your birth notice, I have never found it again and the only part I can remember was that we thought you were our gift from Pa as you had been born on his birthday. We were so happy and our family was complete. How our world changed that day with the news that you had a hemorrhage. We rushed to your side and watched as they all tried to work miracles to save you. I remember the doctor coming and telling me no babies do survive but they were trying everything. It was such a horrible time and I really wanted to hit them all away from you, for them to leave you in peace but I had to let them try. Its just one of those things no-one could do anything about. It was so sudden and fatal. I have so many things I wish now I had done with you, I think I will always have regrets but please know my sweet girl that I am so pleased you came into my world.  I dedicate this song to you, the first verse where it says I was blessed to have you in my life is soooo true,  the second verse that says you showed me how it feels to have the sky within my reach sums up the joy you gave us, how happy we were to have our little boy and our little girl.  The strength you have given me amazes me, I never thought i was strong enough to survive this, but I have, thank you so much for giving me the strength to go on and to attempt to help other Mummy's and Daddy's whose dream is shattered, without you none of this would have been possible.  I go on with life being the best I can be, knowing that what you would want.  I count the minutes until I can hold you again knowing this time it will be forever

I love you

Mummy

In memory of a little one

She gave not a wave of her little hand,
Nor blew me her sweetest kiss
I did not know she was leaving
God her precious love I miss

Smile down on me when you hear me cry
Don't look down on me with sadness
Give me the strength to live without her
To cope with the emptiness and the madness

Bless you for taking her so gently
As she had fought so hard to live
Thank you for loaning her to me
She was your greatest gift to give

Remind her where she lived and loved
Hold her often, take her hand in our own way
Reunite her with loves ones in Heaven before her
Reassure her, her Mummy will see her again some day.

Broken Chain


Unknown

We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

 

 

Bereaved Birthdays
Author unknown

Birthdays are a time for celebration
Not a time for tears
But what happens when the birthdays
 No longer mark the years

A birthday marks the moment
A spirit enters earthly life
To share its special love and joy
 And learn from earthly strife

Before a spirit comes to us,
It Knows when and how it must depart
 It chooses its path carefully,
We are honored from the start

The sadness we now feel on such a joyous day
 Is longing for our loved one's touch
 It's natural to feel this way
 For even though the birthdays
 No longer mark a spirit's stay

Love continues on forever
 To touch us everyday
I hug my precious memories
 Close to my heart
And honor my beloved spirit child
 Who chose me from the start
