 Our Angels Sleep In Heavenly Peace  With the holidays upon us, we at The Grey Area realize that many of you many be suffering the holiday blues. The Compassionate Friends has an excellent page on getting through the holidays that you can visit by clicking here. Author Unknown I'm wondering what Christmas in Heaven is like, As I grieve alone and pray, Longing for one who has gone before to spend Christmas in Heaven today. And so in my dreams, I wander far From the scenes and sound of earth till I catch the strains of a Heavenly choir As they sing the song of the Christ child's birth. The angels and saints I vision there as they join in the festal gay, And there amid the throng is my loved one Spending Christmas in Heaven today. There's a joy in the faith that teaches, When our life's work here is done, Of a place in Heaven awaiting, And the crown we worked for is won. In our grief may we learn the lesson So to work and suffer and pray, As to merit the joys of our loved one And to spend Christmas together someday. Holiday Letters To Our Angels  Dearest Shawn,Every year as Christmas approaches, I realize all the things we have to be thankful for. This year I am thankful that you are at peace. I am thankful, but at the same time, my heart is aching because I miss you so much. I am also thankful for the time we spent together even though it went by too quickly. You were only here for a short time but you have touched our lives and hearts forever. My arms are painfully empty because you're not here for me to hold, but my heart is full with the love I have for you. It does comfort us to know that you are with God and all the angels and that they are taking care of you. Since you can't be here with us, I'm glad that you're there with them. Shawn, you have given us a beautiful gift---you have given us a deeper appreciation for each other and we will always be grateful for that. You took a piece of all our hearts with you when you left and I hope you will hold on to that as we hold on to our memories of you. I hope you know how much we love and miss you. When you look down from Heaven and see the twinkling Christmas lights around our house, know that they are twinkling for you, our beautiful angel.
Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brian and Michelle
I LOVE YOU, Mom It comforts us to know that God is taking care of you. We want you to know that you are the stars in our sky, the twinkle in our eyes. You are the warm sun that smiles down upon us. You live in our hearts and your memory will never leave us. Our only Christmas wish this year is that you will forever know how loved and missed you are. We know that God giveth and he taketh away.... but he cannot take away our precious memories of our sweet little angel who touched our lives so deeply in such a short time. We will forever rock you in the cradle of our hearts.... Daddy put all my angel ornaments from my childhood on the top of the tree along with your white crocheted one I bought a week after you were sent home. I am working on your stocking. From this Christmas on, your parents, older brother, subsequent brothers and sisters, and anyone else that wants to can write you letters or put other momentos in it. I am looking forward to next year, Lluvia. Mommy will be sad though when March 13, 1998 rolls around. That is when you were suppose to be born. I find solace knowing that your spirit is alive and waiting for us. I know there are times you see us and are constantly with us. Kiss our friends and family that have gone on before us--Kiss us
always with heaven as you have done since you came and gone. Always know that your Mommy, Daddy, and Big brother LOVE YOU!!!!! We think of you always and we truly know now since you've touched our lives that FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!!!!!
LOVE, There are so many things that I wish for you this Christmas. I wish you could have gotten to know your brother Benjamin, he is a terrific little boy and I
know you would have loved him. I wish you could have gotten to know your Daddy, who wanted you so much. He was so excited when we found out we were having another little boy. I wish you could have snuggled with us in the mornings. I just wish you could be with us. Mommy loves you so much Daniel, and I wish I could have kept you inside me.
Please know my sweet son that I think about you daily, and Love you with all my heart.
Hugs and kisses, This song was written by Caleb's Mom in his memory the year that he would have been three and singing "Away In A Manger" at his first Sunday School Christams Program. It was written to the tune of "Away In A Manger." Bless you Caleb's Mom! Away up in Heaven (Is there a crib for his bed?) Our little boy Caleb Lays down his sweet head The stars in the sky show bright where he lay Caleb's asleep in a place far away. The Angels are watching As baby awakes But little sweet Caleb No crying he makes We love you our baby and hope that you know We wish you were with us, we wanted you so. Be near him Lord Jesus We ask you to stay Close by him forever And love him we pray Please keep our dear baby in your tender care And tell him we'll meet him in heaven up there.  *
