BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN
I HEARD YOU CRYING YESTERDAY
AND FELT YOUR HEART SENT LOVE
SO I'M SENDING YOU THIS MESSAGE
FROM HEAVEN UP ABOVE
YOU'RE WONDERING IF I'LL CELEBRATE
MY BIRTHDAY WAY UP HERE
I KNOW YOU'LL BE MISSING ME
I FEEL YOUR ESSENCE NEAR
GOD PLANNED A SPECIAL DAY FOR ME
HE TOLD ME WITH A WINK
HE ORDERED ME A SPECIAL CAKE
IT'S ANGEL FOOD I THINK
I'M GETTING LOTS OF HUGS FROM GOD
HE'S REALLY GOOD AT THAT
AND EVERY TIME I WALK BY
HE GIVES MY HEAD A PAT
BALLOONS WILL FILL THE STREETS FOR ME
THEY FLOAT UP THRU THE CLOUDS
AND WE HAVE LOTS OF CLOWNS UP HERE
THEY MAKE US LAUGH OUT LOUD
I'VE MADE SO MANY FRIENDS UP HERE
WE LAUGH AND PLAY AND SING
WE ENJOY THE MOUNTAINS AND SUNSHINE
AND WE SLEEP IN ANGELS WINGS
I'LL HAVE MY CAKE AND ICE CREAM
AND OPEN MY GIFTS WITH SURPRISE
BUT WE DON'T BLOW OUT CANDLES HERE
INSTEAD WE LIGHT THE SKIES
My thoughts and prayers are with all who love and miss dear Justin.
You have created a beautiful tribute to honor your precious angel's memory, it is filled with so much love and warmth. My heart broke as I read about Justin and Matthew, two good friends now beautiful angel's together forever in heaven. Oh how lovely heaven must be now!
I wish there was something I could say to ease your heartache, I only pray that you find some small comfort knowing that others care.
God Bless. Edwina Mitchell, mum to angel Troy.
Angela this is basicly, the same condolence I sent to Sandy...Matthew's Mom. I felt you are both going through the same thing at the same time. May you always be there for each other as your sons where there for each other.
Dear Angela,
I feel so bad for you and your family. It takes a very long time to begin to think you can ever live a normal life again. I lost my daughter 3 years, 5 months, and 17 days ago. She also died in a tragic car accident and died on impact. She left behind a little boy who turned three years old, three weeks after her death. He was her life and she was his.
I have custody of her son, but believe me it wasn't easy. It took two and a half years to get custody of Jeremy. His father is alive...but it's a long story...let's just say my daughter wasn't with him after her son turned 1 year old. Laws are suppose to protect the innocent, but Mothers and Grandmother's didn't write the laws so you can only imagine the rough ride we had.
When Angie died, I thought I was going to die also. She was my only daughter and I have two sons, one younger than her and one older. Angie was such a big part of my life. She was my friend as much as my daughter. My heart felt there was a long tunnel with a big black hole at the bottom and I was sinking into it but not getting any closer to her. It hurt. Some times I would break down and cry and I really thought that was going to be the end. The pain was unbearable.
After her first year of passing, I thought okay I should be able to do this now. I have been through ever holdiay or family events and I made it, so now I thought it would be a lot easier. Boy I don't want to discourage you but the second year was worse. The first year I went through everything in numbness, but the second I had to do everything in reality.
It was towards the end of the second year that I could honesty say, that I begin to feel normal and able to par take in things in life. Being alone was a comfort to me. Having my husband and grandson with me all the time, sure did help. We went through this together.
Everyone is different, and I think the more love you have for God, the easier it makes it. The site also helped because I felt I was with people who were going through the same thing as me and understood my pain, hurt, and anger. THE WHY's I had so many of them.
I know your son and his friend Matthew has only been gone four months, so I can feel for you and your family. Let it be a comfort that Justin had his friend and Jesus holding each of his hands leading him into the next journey of his life.
I remember reading some sites, as you must and wonder how can some of these families sound so positive and up lifted and I felt like dieing. I could tell that they loved their child as much as I loved mine...but why could they cope. I wrote and expressed myself with them. The answer was "TIME" and how true it is. Time does help big time. They didn't love their child any less than the day they died...they just learned to cope and accept.
Everything will happen naturally for you just like it has for many of us. Let God be your savior and pray for strength, it helps. Anytime you need someone to chat with you can e-mail me at polopool@yahoo.ca Angie has two sites www.angie-robert.memory-of.com and www.angie-robert.last-memories.com
If you go back to the beginning of Angie's site on the memory-of site and read her condolences you will probably see yourself in my words. We're mother's and this isn't fair. We should have gone before our child. We lived our life much longer than them. But like I said before we didn't write the laws, we only have to live by them. Whether they're God's law or man's law!
Bless you
Donna
