Nothing Can Ever Take Away The Love

This page is very special to me. It depicts my daughter placing wildflowers upon her brother's grave. Adam would have been 9 years old this past April.

I am trying to teach my children that they should honor the memories of those that have gone before them. Gone but not forgotten is my mantra.

Nothing can ever take awaythe LOVE a heart holds dear. Fond memories linger EVERY DAYRemembrance keeps them near. Unknown Author xoxo, Kaylie.

If Roses Grow In Heaven...

Next month, my son would have been 9 years old. Every once in a while I go to the gravesite and take them along. Adam is gone, but certainly not forgotten.

I so wanted to use this kit for a springy and happy ocassion, but this is what was begging to come out.If roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me, Place them in my brother’s arms And tell him they’re from me. Tell him that I love him and miss him, And when he turns to smile, Place a kiss upon his cheek And hold him for a while. Because remembering him is easy, I do it every day, But there’s an ache within my heart Because I am missing him today.Whispers page set, by Doris Castle, Scrapbook-Graphicshttp://www.scrapbookgraphics.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17604&cat=0&page=1Template by Tracy Blankenship.Font: Marydale, Mariah
