When I closed my eyes, I'd say a prayer for one more day with you. And when I woke, I embraced the one who pulled me through. Thank-you for the life you've  given  me.  Thank  you  for  sharing  all  your  love  and  your  dreams.

• ~ everyday that goes by is a day that I get closer to seeing you again, I miss you mom
• ~ On that morning when this life is over I know I'll see your face ♥ (July 3, 2010)
• ~ You may no longer be with me but I think of you every single day ♥ (June 30, 2010)
• ‎~ I missed you more today then I did yesterday, and i will miss you more tomorrow then I did today. (June 29, 2010)
• ~ I can go where no one else can go, I know where no one else knows...Here I am just drowning in the rain with a ticket for a runaway train...everything seems jude and dry, day and night, earth and sky...somehow I just don't believe it. (June 29, 2010)
• ‎~ If God would grant me just one wish I'd wish to be with you, cause the day you passed away is the day you took a piece of my heart with you. Miss you mom ♥ (June 27, 2010)
• ~ All around me are familiar faces, Worn out places, worn out faces,Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere. Their tears are filling up their glasses.  No expression, no expression. Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow. No tomorrow, no tomorrow. (June 24, 2010)
• ~ is missing my mom :(   (June 23, 2010)
• ‎~ Missing you...♥
• ‎~ It makes sense that it should hurt in this way, That my heart should break, and my hands should shake As if to say: Everything matter's in such an invisible way As if to say: Fly away, sweet bird Fly fly away...
• ‎~ Always remebered and forever in my heart. xo I love you mom ♥
• ‎~ Goodnight my beautiful angel, I will love you always and forever xo ♥ r.i.p mom ♥
• ~ ‎Have you seen the rain come down and a sunny day....
• ~ You'll never know how much it tears me up inside to see you, I wish I could tell you something to take it all away.

I'll Be Missing You

Wednesday, June 9, 2010 

Every day I wake up

I hope I'm dreaming

I can't believe this

Can't believe you are not here

Sometimes it's just hard for me to wake up

It's hard to just keep going

It's like I feel empty inside without you being here

I would do anything mom to bring you back

You were the greatest

You'll always be the greatest

I miss you mom

I can't wait till that day

when I see your face again

Life isn't always what it seems to be

Words can't express what you mean to me

In the future, can't wait to see

If you open up the gates for me

Remininsce some times, of the night God took my best friend

Try to black it out, but it plays again

When it's real, feelings hard to conceal

Cant imagine all the pain I feel

Give anything to hear half your breath

I know you are still living your life, after death

Every step I take, every move I make

Every single day, every time I pray

Ill be missing you

Thinking of the day, when you went away

What a life to take, what a bond to break

Ill be missing you

Its really hard with you not around

I know you're in heaven smiling down

Watching us while we pray for you

Every day we pray for you

Till the day we meet again

In my heart is where I'll keep you friend

Memories give me the strength I need to proceed

Strength I need to believe

My thoughts mom I just can't define

Wish I could turn back the hands of time

I still can't believe you're gone

Give anything to hear half your breath

I know you're still living you're life, after death

On that morning, When this life is over

I know I'll see your face

Every move I make

Every single day is a day that I get closer to seeing you again

I miss you mom

Butterfly Fly Away
Monday, June 7, 2010

You tucked me in, turned out the light
Kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like that.
Brushed my teeth and combed my hair
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back.
And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn out right
You would hold my hand and sing to me.
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away...

You'll Never Walk Alone

Monday, June 7, 2010 
 
When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark
Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on, with

hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone
