A life may last for just a moment...but a memory can make that moment last forever

I stood beside your bed last night, I came to have a peek.
I could see that you were crying and you found it hard to sleep.
I 'spoke' to you softly as you brushed away a tear ...
'It's me, I haven't left you. I'm well, I'm fine. I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast as you slowly sipped your tea.
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at my grave today. you tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you that I'm not lying there.
I walked towards your home beside you as you fumbled for your key.
I gently touched you with my hand and softly said 'It's me.'
You looked so very tired as you sank into your chair,
I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there
As you sat there very quietly, you smiled and then you knew ...
In the stillness, that I was very close to you.
The day for now is over and as I watch you yawning,
I say 'Good night, God bless for now and I'll see you in the morning.'

time will take your pain away, but what a wonderful love you shared, today, now and alway's, sunbeam.

Why??

Why does this have to hurt so much?, Why did you have to go? Why cant i see or speak to you again?
I cant bear the fact im never ever gona see you again in this life time, i hope to god they are right that one day on the other side we will meet again, as thats one of the things that is getting me through every day right now.
I know that you were the only man that has ever truly and i mean truly ever loved me, you never disrespected me, you always gave me uncontitional love, you never played games and that i thank you, i know i am never ever going to find that again in any other man, and i honestly believe that when you told me that i would never find a man that loves me the way you do you were right!!
Shaun i love you so much xxx

a letter from heaven

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...

but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.

Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.


Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you.'


It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.

I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.'


God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.

And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.

God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.


When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years

because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.


I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.

But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.

I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.



There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;

but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...

that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.



If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,

then you can say to God at night......'My day was not in vain.'

And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,

knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.


So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,

just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;

I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.


And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,

remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
