To All:

I have been blessed to still have my mother and father in my life.  I can't even
begin to imagine what you may feel losing someone so close.  I sent this poem to
a friend who lost her son two years again but still grieve over losing him.  She
said it gave her comfort and I hope it will give you if only a little, comfort
as well. 
Be Blessed,

Letter From Heaven


Please don’t feel bad,

It was just my time to go.

I see you are still feeling sad,

And the tears just seem to flow.
We all
come to earth for our lifetime,

And for some it’s not many years

I don’t want you to keep crying

You are shedding so many tears.
I
haven’t really left you

Even though it may seem so.

I have just gone to my heavenly home,

And I’m closer to you than you know.
Just
believe that when you say my name

I’m standing next to you,

I know you long to see me,

But there’s nothing I can do.
But
I’ll still send you messages

And hope you understand,

That when your time comes to “cross over,”

I’ll be there to take your hand.

Missing Family Members This Year
December 7, 2008
 
Tonight I went to a friend’s house to play Star Wars Monopoly and I had a
good time beating him badly at his own game.  I had 10 monopolies to his 1 and
it took me 4 hours to do it.  I also had fun watching the Harry Potter movie
marathon on ABC Family Channel too. 
 
After the end of a long evening I went home with my mother on my mind.  It has
been almost seven years since her death, but I still miss her.  My birthday is
coming up on the 24th of this month and she would always fix my favorite cake
which is yellow cake with fudge icing.  I remember the times when I was growing
up our family would get together to celebrate Christmas.  Even though my mom
played the Santa game with us we still knew that Christ was the reason for the
season and our family would pray for God’s blessing for others and our family
throughout the year.  My mom and my grandmother would prepare a feast.  The
food was always great.
 
One problem I had being a Christmas Eve baby I would get from my friends is
this is your Christmas and birthday present.  As my Automotive Teacher would
say, “Oh oh; you were robed by Santa Clause.
 
Yes I will admit it, I am a mama’s boy and I was mothered both by my mom and
grandmother.  I lived with my family for a few years after my graduation from
high school.  My grandma would cook enough food for dinner and my lunch for the
next day at work.  Everyone at work would get jealous saying “Dave; you eat
better than us.”  All jokes aside my grandmother knew how to cook!
 
I hope and pray that everyone will have a Merry Christmas and a happy New
Year.  I know a lot of people are lonely and get depressed this time of the
year and my prayers got out to you.
 
Take care,
 
Dave
