About me

****I will not be lighting candles on Sundays. I am in and out all day on Sunday's and don't get back in til late. I will be thinking of you and your Angels......


I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

I TRULY APPRECIATE THE FRIENDS I HAVE MADE ON THIS SITE. YOU ALL HAVE REALLY HELPED ME COPE THROUGH THE FIRST YEAR AND HAVE TOUCHED MY HEART.....
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥I DID A BUTTERFLY RELEASE FOR NICK'S 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO CELEBRATE NICK'S LIFE AND TO RELEASE HIM TO SOAR WITH THE ANGELS. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL...THE BUTTERFLIES WERE VERY PEACEFUL AND CALMING. WE HAD SOME OF NICK'S FRIENDS AT THE CELEBRATION AND HAD EACH ONE OF THEM SAY SOMETHING ABOUT NICK. IT WAS WONDERFUL.......
♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥
HERE IS WHAT I WROTE FOR MY DAUGHTER TO READ.

Butterflies Released as a symbol of your love.♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥

"Today we celebrate Nick’s life with the release of butterflies. Butterflies symbolize the spirit of transformation, representing freedom and beauty as they take flight. When we experience the vital connection between butterflies and nature, we tend to feel that peace and harmony are truly around us.
Their flight is a motion of freedom and calmness and is so beautiful to see.♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥

Please let death be a butterfly with our loved one soaring in an existence that is too wonderful for us to comprehend! “Often in life what appears to be an ending is really a glorious new beginning”.
Today as we release the butterflies we are creating another unforgettable memory of Nick. And to let Nick know that we Love him and he will always live in our hearts and everything we do. Releasing the butterflies is releasing Nick so he can have peace and soar with the angels.♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥

As you release this butterfly in honor of me, know that I'm with you and will always be.
Hold a hand, say a prayer, close your eyes and see me there. Although you may feel a bit torn apart,
please know that I'll be forever in your heart. Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go,
I'm right there with you more than you know.

The Butterfly you have been given will emerge from their envelopes and alight on your hand for a moment before flying off.
When instructed, please open the envelope and allow the butterfly to emerge on its own. It may take a few moments for the beautiful creature to adjust to the light and temperature before it flies off. These Butterflies are natives, will thrive and insure the continuation of their species, KEEPING MEMORY ALIVE."
♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥♥

I live My life for the family. I have been very Blessed with two beautiful Children who have made my life complete, And having one of my children taken away from me is the most devastating feeling that any mother can go through.

He was a wonderful son. And he will always have my heart.

I will "Never Lose Faith" because Nick wouldn't want me to.
*****************************************************
I Love this poem and I try to live by it, and has helped me.

You can shed tears that he is gone
Or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want:
Smile, Open your eyes,Love and Go on.

Yesterday evening

Daddy's Poem
----------------------

Her hair was up in a pony tail,
Her favorite dress tied with a bow.
Today was Daddy's Day at school,
And she couldn't wait to go.

But her mommy tried to tell her,
That she probably should stay home.
Why the kids might not understand,
If she went to school alone.

But she was not afraid;
She knew just what to say.
What to tell her classmates
Of why he wasn't there today.

But still her mother worried,
For her to face this day alone.
And that was why once again,
She tried to keep her daughter home.

But the little girl went to school
Eager to tell them all.
About a dad she never sees
A dad who never calls. There were daddies along the wall in back,
For everyone to meet.
Children squirming impatiently,
Anxious in their seats

One by one the teacher called
A student from the class.
To introduce their daddy,
As seconds slowly passed.

At last the teacher called her name,
Every child turned to stare.
Each of them was searching,
A man who wasn't there.

'Where's her daddy at?'
She heard a boy call out.
'She probably doesn't have one,'
Another student dared to shout.

And from somewhere near the back,
She heard a daddy say,
'Looks like another deadbeat dad,
Too busy to waste his day.'

The words did not offend her,
As she smiled up at her Mom.
And looked back at her teacher,
Who told her to go on.
And with hands behind her back,
Slowly she began to speak.
And out from the mouth of a child,
Came words incredibly unique.

'My Daddy couldn't be here,
Because he lives so far away.
But I know he wishes he could be,
Since this is such a special day.

And though you cannot meet him,
I wanted you to know.
All about my daddy,
And how much he loves me so.

He loved to tell me stories
He taught me to ride my bike.
He surprised me with pink roses,
And taught me to fly a kite.

We used to share fudge sundaes,
And ice cream in a cone.
And though you cannot see him.
I'm not standing here alone.

'Cause my daddy's al ways with me,
Even though we are apart
I know because he told me,
He'll forever be in my heart'
With that, her little hand reached up,
And lay across her chest.
Feeling her own heartbeat,
Beneath her favorite dress. And from somewhere here in the crowd of dads,
Her mother stood in tears.
Proudly watching her daughter,
Who was wise beyond her years.

For she stood up for the love
Of a man not in her life.
Doing what was best for her,
Doing what was right.

And when she dropped her hand back down,
Staring straight into the crowd.
She finished with a voice so soft,
But its message clear and loud.

'I love my daddy very much,
he's my shining star.
And if he could, he'd be here,
But heaven's just too far.

You see he is a Brittish soldier
And died just this past year
When a roadside bomb hit his convoy
And taught Britians to fear.
But sometimes when I close my eyes,
it's like he never went away.'
And then she closed her eyes,
And saw him there that day.

And to her mothers amazement,
She witnessed with surprise.
A room full of daddies and children,
All starting to close their eyes.

Who knows what they saw before them,
Who knows what they felt inside.
Perhaps for merely a second,
They saw him at her side.

'I know you're with me Daddy,'
To the silence she called out.
And what happened next made believers,
Of those once filled with doubt.

Not one in that room could explain it,
For each of their eyes had been closed.
But there on the desk beside her,
Was a fragrant long-stemmed rose.


And a child was blessed, if only for a moment,
By the love of her shining star.
And given the gift of believing,
That heaven is never too far.

Send this to the people you'll never forget and
Remember to send it also to the person that sent It to you. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them.

If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're
in a hurry and that you've forgotten your friends.

Take the time...to live and love.
Until eternity. God bless!

Yesterday afternoon

♥***A FRIEND HUG***♥
☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆

♥A little hug from me to you,
To make you smile
when you feel blue,
To make you happy
when your sad,
To let you know
life ain't so bad.
Now I've given a hug to you,
Somehow I feel much better too
Hugs are better when they're shared♥

♥So pass one on to show you care.♥

♥Sent with all my love and thanks♥

Lots of Love,
Carol...xx

ჱܓ My Friendჱܓ

If I could paint a picture
that would erase the shadows in a heart,
I would paint it for you.

If I could sketch away sorrows
your sorrows would cease to be,
and only love would form the lines
on your brow.

If I could create a portrait
designed to capture the essence of friendship,
your face would be upon the canvas.

A mosaic of modesty,
charcoal of class,
all presented in a landscape of gentleness.

An etched depiction of humanity
in its best form,
a tribute to mankind's goodness.
If only I could paint a picture...

(Bobbie Kilzer Gogain)
