Gunnar and River the sweetest names we could ever hear..
People seem to think that by mentioning your names that they will hurt our
feelings, but they need not worry because we could never be hurt worse then we
already are, but how could they know when the depth of our pain doesnt show.
They worry about making us cry, and in a way they already know that we are
always crying inside.
Some try to help by letting us release the tears that we hide inside.
We hurt more when they keep silent and act like you never existed.
We would rather they mention your names because then We know that they miss
you too, but We know they can never miss you as much as we do.
When they ask us how we are doing we say we are doing fine and we know that
our healing is going to take a lifetime.
This lifetime is going to be tough to get through but we know in the end we
will get to spend ETERNITY with you.
We love you our Angels
Forever Your Mommy and Daddy
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he
asked God:
They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going
to live there being so small and helpless?
Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for
you and will take care of you.
But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and
smile, that's enough for me to be happy.
Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day.
And you will feel your angel's love and be happy.
And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me,
if I don't know the language that men talk?
Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will
ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach
you how to speak.
And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?
Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to
pray.
I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?
Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.
But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.
Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the
way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to
you.
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth
could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly:
Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name
Your angel's name is of no importance, you will call your angel...Mommy
I don't know who wrote this but I loved it..
Twinkle Twinkle little star,
How I wonder which you are,
Are you Spencer looking down
Or are you Gunnar or River playing around.
Up above the world so high
Like three diamonds in the sky,
Yours and mine shining bright
Sending love and kisses through the night
Twinkle Twinkle little stars,
Now I know which you are,
Spencer beaming love through the heavens and stars
Gunnar and River feeling comfort in where they are.
Through heaven and the skies
While Gunnar and River have mischief twinkling in their eyes.
Written By Kim Respess ~~Spencer's Mommy~~
Only The Best
A heart of gold stopped beating,
two shining eyes at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.
God knows you had to leave us,
but you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day He took you home.
To some you are forgotten,
to others just part of the past,
but to us who loved and lost you,
the memory will always last.

If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and You.
A thousand words can't bring you back
We know because we've tried...
Neither will a thousand tears
We know because we've cried...
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too...
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted You.
~~~~Unknown~~~~
To Be With You Again
We think of you in silence
And often speak your name,
But all that's left to answer
Is your picture in a frame.
If we could have one lifetime
wish,
One dream that would come
true,
We would pray to God with
all our hearts
For yesterday and you!
If tears could build a stairway
And heartaches make a lane,
We would walk our way to
Heaven
To Be With You Again!

To Nicole and Tim,
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 day-time, when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint
the rain- bows 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 wind- songs,
they whisper to us, don't miss me too much. The view is nice and I'm doing
just fine. Written by - Ashley

A Prayer for You
Keep your children strong Lord,
please hold their hearts together.
The anguish that overtakes their lives,
is so hard to bare.
Memories of a precious one,
not on this earth but in your
arms in heaven.
Lord endure their painful emptyness
and let your love soothe their minds
to release their hearts of sadness.
I say this little prayer to you knowing
peace can be found in your
mercy and grace.
Help them to find the rainbow rays
of warmth upon their face.
Lord unite this family with compassion,
nurture and heal their wounds
and help them to overcome this childless mothers wounds.
Send Angels to lift their spirits,
with a blessing from above.
This prayer I ask that binds
Just add a little memory of baby
in their minds.

The song you hear playing is called "Angels Among Us" and it is sung by
Alabama.
Angels Among Us
I was walkin' home from school on a cold winter day,
Took a short cut through the woods and I lost my way
It was gettin' late, and I was scared and alone
Then a kind old man took my hand, and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there
And I knew in my heart he was the answer to my prayer
Oh, I believe there are Angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love
When Life had Troubled times, and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone to come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand
Now ain't it kind of funny, at the dark end of the road
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope
Oh, I believe there are Angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love
They wear so many faces
They show up in the strangest places
They grace us with their mercies in our time of need
Oh, I believe there are Angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love
To guide us with a light of love
KEEP YOUR ANGEL'S IN YOUR HEART FOREVER..AND NEVER LET THEM GO. Quote By
