Happy Birthday Casey

Today should have been your 19th birthday, you should be here with us to celebrate. Instead you are gone. We are left here to celebrate the beautiful day you came into our lives. I remember the day you were born like it was yesterday. How beautiful you were and how small your little fingers and toes were. Some things never changed. Your feet never got very big and you had such petite little fingers. Such beautiful hands. Such beautiful eyes..  You blessed us all with your presence. With your sparkling blue eyes and that smile .. Beautiful on the inside and out. You were genuine , truly one in a million. Happy Birthday in Heaven Turtle.

A Special Birthday

Please God, make them remember that
Today is a special, birthday.
Make them understand that
The memories don't go away.
Bless them, with ears to hear and hearts that care.
Enable them to listen while I share.
Shelter them that they may never know my pain.
Help them to help me know that my child's life was not in vain.
Help them to remember, Lord that I wish
That my child was here
So we could still celebrate.
To understand that I still
Feel the nearness of my child.
To see beyond my smile and the
Words. "I'm okay."
Please God, just let one remember today
Is a special birthday!
