dear Julie,
Holding you and Victoria ever so close in my heart always and forever. I know how hard it is for you and if you ever need a shoulder, or two, I always have a spare one for you. Hoping you feel the special love in the smiles our children gave us for so many years, what they could, and what we are thankful for when we celebrate their lives with us. Cherish your Vicky with smiles, she lives on inside your heart for sure.
Thank you for including me as a helper Julie, i am beyond words and you brought a smiley tear to my eyes.
with love always,
melinda xxx

I'll lend you for a little while, a child of mine, He said.
For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he is dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty two or three,
But will you, 'til I call him back' take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief
You'll have his lovely memories, as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, as all on earth return
But there are lessons taught down there, I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd lifes lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, not think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call, to take him back again.
I fancied that I heard them say, Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy this child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shower him with tenderness and love him while we may,
And for the happiness we have known, forever grateful stay.
And should the Angels come to call, much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand
Dear Julie,
I´m with you on this journey, our children have brought us together to be strong for each other and we will,,,hugs n love, Melinda, mom4ever of Alex
Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?”
The Lord replied,
“The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.”
-Mary Stevenson)
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there.
,,with love, Melinda, mom of Alex
