IN LOVING MEMORY ALANA
This is my daughter Alana, she passed away in 1984
due to s.i.d.s.
I thank God everyday for the few months she was in my life, the smiles, the giggles, her smell will never leave me. I think of you Alana every night and day.
Your an Angel in God's Kingdom, such a wonderful place to stay.Some day we will meet again my daughter,no scars,no deformities, nothing but pure perfect love
as God meant it to always be.You have 2 brothers you never got to meet or know, But this I promise you they know about you.Sometimes I still think I hear you crying and get up out of bed ready to give you your bottle and then realize your not here, I try so hard not to cry, but it isn't always easy for Alana mommy misses you. I know your in a better place then here on this Earth and thats what keeps me going knowing that your in Heaven, and watching over us. Alana I love you.
"IF I KNEW IT WOULD BE THE LAST TIME"
THAT I'D SEE YOU FALL ALSLEEP,
I WOULD TUCK YOU IN TIGHTER
AND PRAY THE LORD, YOUR SOUL TO KEEP.
IF I KNEW IT WOULD BE THE LAST TIME
THAT I SEE YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR,
I WOULD GIVE YOU A HUG AND KISS
AND CALL YOU BACK FOR ONE MORE.
IF I KNEW IT WOULD BE THE LAST TIME
I 'D HEAR YOUR VOICE LIFTED UP IN PRAISE,
I WOULD VIDEO TAPE EACH ACTION AND WORD,
SO I COULD PLAY THEM BACK DAY AFTER DAY.
IF I KNEW IT WOULD BE THE LAST TIME,
I COULD SPARE AN EXTRA MINUTE OR TWO
TO STOP AND SAY I LOVE YOU,
INSTEAD OF ASSUMING YOU WOULD KNOW I DO.
IF I KNEW IT WOULD BE THE LAST TIME
I WOULD BE THERE TO SHARE YOUR DAY,
WELL I'M SURE YOU'LL HAVE SO MANY MORE
SO I CAN LET JUST THIS ONE SLIP AWAY.
FOR SURELY THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW
TO MAKE UP FOR AN OVERSIGHT,
AND WE ALWAYS GET A SECOND CHANCE
TO MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ANOTHER DAY
TO SAY OUR," I LOVE YOU'S,"
AND CERTAINLY THERE'S ANOTHER CHANCE
TO SAY OUR, "ANYTHING I CAN DO'S?"
BUT JUST IN CASE I MIGHT BE WRONG,
AND TODAY IS ALL I GET,
I'D LIKE TO SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU
AND I HOPE WE NEVER FORGET.
TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED TO ANYMORE,
YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE,
AND TODAY MAY BE THE LAST CHANCE
YOU GET TO HOLD YOUR LOVED ONE TIGHT.
SO IF YOUR WAITING FOR TOMORROW,
WHY NOT DO IT TODAY?
FOR IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES,
YOU'LL SURELY REGRET THE DAY,
THAT YOU DIDN'T TAKE THAT EXTRA TIME
FOR A SMILE, A HUG, A KISS
AND YOU WERE TO BUSY TO GRANT SOMEONE,
WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE THIER ONE LAST WISH.
SO ALWAYS HOLD THEM DEAR
TAKE TIME TO SAY I'M SORRY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME,
THANK YOU, OR IT'S OKAY.
AND IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES,
YOU'LL HAVE NO REGRETS ABOUT TODAY.
PLEASE HELP THE FIGHT AGAISNT S.I.D.S.
TAKE THIS BANNER WITH YOU
AND PUT IT ON YOUR SITE
TO HELP THE AWARENESS OF THIS SILENT KILLER
OF OUR BABIES
