thinking of you today Ryan but know you are safe in Gods arms,smiling down and so proud of mummy and your baby brother,

Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.

Laurie Kat's Mommy lit a candle on 12th April, 2009:

Dear Mr. Easter Bunny

I just had to write to you today.
I need to know if you'll stop in Heaven
as you hop along your way.
You see a part of me is up there
and I miss him with all my heart.
My son Ryan lost his battle
that tore my life apart.
So I wanted to know if you go way up there,
could I please ask a favor of you?
Can you take Ryan a basket to Heaven
filled with colored eggs and bunnies too?
And could you please add a green egg for me.
Green means new life and rest,
for my son is now resting in Heaven.
Could you please add a orange egg,
for the color of the candles flame,
for my sons little light will always shine.
Although our lives will never be the same,
this light will flicker til the very end of time.
Easter Bunny, can you add an egg so blue,
for the blue is the color of a cloudless sky,
and when I see the birds flying over me
I know It's a sign from him way up high.
And we can't forget a yellow egg too,
for yellow is the color of the rising sun,
and my sons love will shine down on me,
for all my days and nights to come.
I also need a rainbow colored egg,
for the rainbow way up high in the sky,
for he will always live within me
and his spirit will never die.
Last but not least a red egg if you could?
For we all know red means the color of love
and I love my son oh so much,
Please send my love to him above.
Thank You Mr. Easter Bunny,
I really appreciate your time today,
and I will say a prayer for you too,
as you hop to Heaven for me on this Easter Day.
When you take the basket up to the Heavens,
can you please whisper in Ryan's ear?
Wish him the Happiest Easter
for I miss him more with each passing year.

Happy Easter I love you all with all my heart! Hope all is well Cathy!

Aunt Laurie Kat's Mommy lit a candle on 18th January, 2009:

You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet Ryan, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.

I love you Cathy, thank you for all your love and support. You are a true Blessing!

Pommawolf Johnson lit a candle on 9th January, 2009:

Anna in Ireland.. lit a candle on 12th November, 2008:

There is a word, of grief the sounding token.
There is a word bejewelled with bright tears.
The saddest word fond lips have ever spoken,
A little word that breaks the chain of years.
Its utterance must ever bring emotion,
The memories it crystals cannot die.
‘Tis known in every land, on every ocean,
It is
Goodbye.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I am not a mother but having lost a lot of people I love I think I know a fraction of what you're feeling. The poem above is one that was read at my Grandfather's funeral and I found it touching. My heart goes out to you. Your baby was so beautiful and from the pictures he looked so happy... May little Ryan rest in peace and may God grant you peace..

Two shining eyes at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.

God knows you had to leave us,
But you did not go alone~
For part of us went with you,
The day he took you Home.

To some you are forgotton,
To others just the past.
But to us who loved and lost you,
Your memory will always last. Love laurie

Merry Christmas Ryan,

We've shared our hearts, full of holiday cheer and shopped for presents for loved ones this year. The house is dressed up with garland and lights, The sparkle that shine through the holiday nights.

but even with all this holiday bliss, there's someone we lost and terrible miss. And as this Christmas day is near
we wish with all our hearts you were here.

Your living your life wa up past the stars, Some where past Jupitar, Saturn And Mars. Your spending your Christmas in Heaven, you see, as i slept last night a dream came to me.

You were standing before me happy and well, You said to me I have something to tell, Heaven is more wonderous than you would ever believe, It's the greatest of gifts I could ever receive.

I'd like for you all to remember the good, you know that I'd be there only if I could. So don't feel so bad mommy that I'm not there, we had so many memories you can share.

As you gather together I'm sure you'll find, the gifts deep within you that I left behind. Each one is unique and wrapped brightly in love, they shine in your hearts as I shine from above.

Happy Valentine's Day Ryan,

This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind,

It's filled with love and Blessings inside.

but mine has to be sent on the wings of love,

you see it's destination is Heaven above.

It's not being sent to my parents so dear,

for they are still with me each day of the year.

It's being sent to my child who left Earth oh so soon,

Who's now in Heaven wih the stars and moon.

The message is the same as your Valentine,

I lov you my sweet Ryan of mine,

My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue,

and it's sent with hugs and kisses from me to you.

I know you are with me each and every day,

you listen as I talk to you and hear what I say,

for that is one thing that death cannot do,

you'll always be a part of me, as I am part of you.

Thank God for His comfort He gives me,

would you please... I don't know what I would do

without His undying love,

sent to bereaved parents from the Heaven's above.

I know you are in the best of care,

but it is so hard for us left on Earth to bear,

could you put in a request from us left behind,

For God to send the knowledge, so a cure we can find.

So that no other family has to go through this pain,

our lives without you will never be the same.

when I get lonely I will look to the sky at night,

and see you shining down your big, bright light.

Happy Valentine's Day sunshine,

I miss you so much,

I know you know how many lives you have touched,

you'll always be mine,

I love you with all my heart,

I know we'll be together again

, and we'll never part.

So you see the meaning is still the same,

the method of delivery is the only change,

Mine must be sent buy a little white dove,

Laurie Kathryn Coleman's Mommy lit a candle on 29th April, 2008:

AS I LIE IN BED TONIGHT,DEAR LORD,
I HOPE YOU HEAR THESE PRAYERS OF MINE.
FOR I'VE ASKED FOR YOUR HELP SO MUCH,
AND FELT FORSAKEN EVERY TIME.
I ASKED YOU FOR THE STRENGTH
TO HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH EACH DAY...
I ASKED YOU TO KINDLY GUIDE ME
AS I TREAD UPON MY WAY.
I ASKED YOU FOR YOUR MERCY
FOR CALLING MY CHILD BACK HOME WITH YOU...
NONE OF THESE THINGS I'VE ASKED FOR
IS MORE THAN YOU CAN DO.
FOR I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO ANYTHING,
YOU ONCE MADE THE BLIND TO SEE.
SO WILL YOU, DEAR LORD,
PLEASE DO THESE THINGS FOR ME?
I NEVER MEANT TO EVER TAKE
A SINGLE DAY YOU GAVE FOR GRANTED,
THE SEED YOU SOWED INSIDE OF ME
IS NOW FOREVER PLANTED.
FOR YOU SENT TO ME AN ANGEL,
PLANTED ON THIS EARTH TO BLOOM WITH YOU.
I THANK YOU, LORD FOR ALLOWING ME
TO SOMEHOW MAKE IT THROUGH.
ALL THE TIMES I THOUGHT YOU HAD FORSAKEN ME,
YOU WERE REALLY WITH ME ALL THE TIME...
IT WAS ME WHO SLIPPED AWAY
FROM YOU SEEKING PEACE OF MIND.
NOW I KNOW THAT NOTHING HAS,
OR NOR WILL IT EVER BE,
POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE
FOR I NEED YOU HERE WITH ME.
I THANK YOU LORD ONCE AGAIN FOR A LOVE
LIKE NO OTHER...
YOU SENT TO ME AN ANGEL
AND PROUDLY CALLED ME His MOTHER!
