"When
someone you love becomes a memory ~ the
memory becomes a treasure"
Shortly after my dad died I wrote
this out from Romeo and Juliet and
placed it behind his picture in the frame that
was on my dresser, because it expressed exactly
how I felt. It's there to this day...
"When he shall die,
take him and cut him out in little stars,
and he will make the face of heaven so fine
that all the world will be in love with night
and pay no worship to the garish sun."
~ Occasionally, we are graced with the
presence of an earthbound angel.
They are unable to stay with us for long, but while
they do they
bring unprecedented joy and happiness to all they
touch. While they
are here, we bask in their goodness and marvel at
their contribution
to the world. When they leave, we are left with the
devastation that
comes with losing such a wonderful being...but we
must remember...
the earthbound angels are not ours to keep. They are
ours to enjoy, learn
from, and behold until they return home. ~
When somebody dies, a cloud turns into
an angel,
and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a
pillow.
A bird gives the message back to the world,
and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry.
People disappear, but they never really go away.
The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up
grass,
and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you
can
see them dancing in a cloud during the daytime,
when they're supposed to be sleeping.
They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets,
and make waves splash and tug at the tide.
They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes.
And when they sing windsongs, they whisper to us ~
Don't miss me too much. The view is nice...
and I'm doing just fine.
~Ashley~
I love you, dad...
Please take a moment to sign my
guestbook, if you would.
