Since the day that I found out that I was pregnant with Ry this song has been very special to me. It was just gaining popularity around that time in October 2000. Each time I heard it tears came to my eyes and I cried through the whole song. Even though we lost Ryleigh in December 2000, and the song isn't quite as appropriate anymore, its still very special to me and I still cry each time I hear it. It was so beautiful to me and in my heart it will always be "Ry's special song".
Arms Wide Open
Well I just heard the news today
With arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm ready
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
If I had just one wish

This poem was written on *one of those days* in my life. One of those days when I hurt and ache all over and just want to hold my babies in my arms. On this particular day I was desperately missing Ry, her 6 month Heavenly Birthday and her due date were looming in the coming days and these words came from deep inside my heart.
When I see a beautiful butterfly
When I feel a soft breeze across my face
When I see the morning dew on the grass
When I hear the soft whisper of a friend
When I touch the soft petals of a flower
I know you're here, sweet Ry
Thank you, sweet Ry

"A bud the Gardner gave us,
a pure and lovely child. He gave it to our keeping, to cherish undefiled. But just as it was opening to the glory of the day, down came the Heavenly Gardner, and took our bud away." ~Author Unknown

I look out at the night sky
I do not understand
You were needed here
I search the heavens
My eye is caught
The light grows brighter
I cannot look away
I slowly close my eyes
