Remembering You with Love Kelli / Forever Family To Angel~Vanessa Borg~
Dear Sandy
Thank you for leaving kinds words for our Angel Vanessa. It really meant a lot to us.This is such a hard road we have to walk and sometimes it's so unberable.But it helps to share Our Children and Feelings with each other who are going through this forever pain. Kelli is so Beautiful and Precious,we know she is always with You she wraps her Angel Wings around You to Comfort You.We miss them more on their Birthday's,Holidays.etc...Keeping You and Your Family in Our Prayers.God Bless.
Lot of thoughts are running around in my head today. No special reason. Just triggered by events, I think. We went to a wedding yesterday which was absolutely beautiful. The ceremony was beautiful. The bride was stunning. Her dress was gorgeous. Everything was so very nice. The reception was over-the-top nice but not stuck-up, you know? Very down-to-earth, but nice. There was a chocolate table as we walked in with many, many different kinds of chocolate candies. There was a chocolate fountain, as well as a caramel fountain, with fruit and sweets to be dipped. There was a mashed potato bar with all of the trimmings, and there was even a bread table with various breads in a huge basket, as well as different butters and spreads on slabs of marble. Dinner was an extremely nice buffet. Cake was suberb. Absolutely suberb.
Through it all, my mind kept straying to you. During the ceremony. During the reception. Even though I know you are always with us, the thought of not seeing you in your beautiful wedding dress walk down the aisle and not having the chance to dance at your own wedding was a huge lump to swallow. Another milestone to work through.
A friend of yours called me first thing yesterday morning with some news. She is having a baby, and she is 5 weeks along. The reality is still setting in for her, but she is nervous, excited and happy. She wanted to share the news with us and called us bright and early at 0730. lol We're happy for her, her boyfriend, and her family. Through her news though came a lump in my throat and sadness in my heart. We'll never hear your voice tell us of your happy news. We'll never get to see the briliant smile on your face as you share your due date. We'll never see you grow with child. Huge lump. Huge, huge lump in my throat. Heaviness in my heart. Another milestone to work through.
Two milestones in the space of just a few hours to work through. The work will never be done, will it? I tell myself to take a deep breath and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Then as we sat in church this morning, I felt you so very strongly. You were there, with us. Enjoying the service, with us. Enjoying the music, with us. Sitting alongside of me telling me that it's okay to be sad for those things, but to be happy because you will always be here with us. You reminded me you always are here. I felt your touch upon my cheek. Your hand upon mine. How can I argue when you put it like that? Tears came, but they were tears of joy and not of sadness.
Some people may think me a nut because we have such a connection. I think of myself as blessed, as does your dad, Mike. Others can think what they want. I know, we know, what is. It is what it is. :-)
For You / Veronica Angelmom To Zachary Vanwinkle
"'I'll lend you for a little time A child of mine," God said. For you to love - while he lives And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years Or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call him home, Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, His time shall be brief. You'll have his lovely memories A as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise you that he'll stay, Since all to earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want my child to learn.
I've looked the world over In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd Life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, Nor think your labor vain, Nor hate Me when I come to call to Take him back again?'

Thinking of you / Edwina Mum To Troy Mitchell
My thoughts and prayers are with all who love and miss dear Kelli.Your precious angel is certainly a very beautiful young lady and she has the most amazing smile that I've ever seen, Kelli captured my heart instantly and i couldn't help but to look at her pictures for quite some time. You have created a lovely tribute to honor Kelli's memory, I couldn't help but notice how much she is loved by this wonderful website the many heart warming poems, condolences, candles and beautiful memories. I feel as if I now know Kelli personally from this site, what a sweet heart she is. I wish that there where something i could say to ease your heartache, I have my own angel, my son Troy, I feel your pain everyday, I pray that you find some comfort knowing that others care and forever will remember dear Kelli. God bless. Edwina, Mum to Troy Mitchell.
Prayer for a Child's Birthday With thanksgiving and love that you were given to be a part of this family and their hearts, we celebrate this day of your birth - beautiful child, delightful spirit.
May there be memories full of joy and peace along side the pain. May the love you planted in so many hearts continue to grow.

A note to Kelli on her 3rd Angelversary / Mom
Dearest Kelli,
It is time once again to put into words what I feel so strongly in my heart. I don't always have the best way with the written word. So much is said in the heart.
As I sit here typing this note to you, I am listening to some music. Martina McBride is singing "In My Daughter's Eyes" right now. That song brings a warm hug to my heart because of all of the times you used to belt it out in the car as it came on the radio when we were out and about. You did your best to hit all of the notes, and it always warmed my heart to see you put such passion into this song. Just as important to me is when you and Morgaine sang this song at our reception. I remember as if it were yesterday. The glow of love as you sang. As much as I think about this song, you, and other things, it makes me wonder if in some way you were trying to prepare me for what was to come.
In some deep way, did you subconsciously know you would be physically leaving us soon and tried to prepare us? The songs you left behind. The notes. The poetry you wrote. We had just found your poetry when Megan asked me if we found your poems. She knew about your poems. I didn't, but after reading them I had to wonder if you knew. They came from your heart. You wrote one poem about a car accident, almost as if it were to be, which, as we know, it was. You also made sure we had special gifts to bring a smile to our faces. They still do. Your gifts. Your handwritten notes. Your cards. Your pictures. Your photos. So much to remember you by. I can't listen to chimes without thinking of you and the chimes you gave to me as gifts, even as a little girl. You used to love listening to the chime's music, and I told you the chimes sounded like angels playing music. You loved that, and when the chimes would play, you would say, " hey Momma, the angels are playing music again." So many things to never, ever forget.
3 years. It's been a long, hard 3 years. I have days when it seems like your accident happened yesterday. I've been told it will always be that way. So often I wonder how I have managed to get through these last 3 years, and the answer always comes back to you. I try to follow your lead and be the person God intends me to be. I pray for strength to get me through the day. I pray for guidance to make the right decisions. I pray to be lead down the path as it is intended to be. No matter where it takes me. I treasure your role as the teacher, and it warms my heart to know that you are always watching over us. You continue to play with the lights, and the tv, and the radio, and the chimes, and whatever else you can think of. Your unexpected gifts give my heart a hug and never fail to bring a smile to my face. I welcome it all with open arms, and an open heart and mind.
As your 3-year angel date approaches, I am already thinking of the next year and how I am going to get through it. I know though that you will be with me every step of the way. Of this I am sure.
I love you Kelli, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't give thanks to have been your mom. No matter the heartache, your love is a gift. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
