Our Candida
The house without you seems empty and bare,
The smell of your fragrance no longer fills the air.
Your face, your smile, the touch of your skin;
The forthcoming plans you’d aimed to begin.
The years of your life were not in vain,
As your time with us precious memories will always remain.
We know our hearts will never mend,
We’ll ache and weep until our lives end.
Love Mom & Dad

ANGELS ARE REAL
Where are you my Precious one I long to see your face?
I need to kiss and hold you and never let you go.
I cannot understand why someone so precious had to die.
My heart it has stopped beating I don’t feel it anymore.
Why God did you take my little girl so soon?
Have I done something wrong to deserve this terrible pain?
I know that you have taken her back to take her pain away.
Yet I know she did not want to die her time was far too soon.
She fought this terrible disease every single minute of the day.
And even when she was in pain she still had time to say
” I Love You All So Very Much”
My anger keeps me going, it’s the only strength I have.
Knowing that my angel was robbed of everything.
She had everything to live for 32 Years was not enough?
And so I hope you understand why I sometimes question my faith.
I wake up every morning hoping it was all a bad dream.
Hoping that she’ll walk through the door and hug me once more.
I know it’s my turn now to fight and find the truth.
Why my Precious Daughter should never have left us that day.
So every night even though I can’t see you, I hold and kiss your picture.
Remember that my love for you is stronger everyday.
For every time I lay down on my pillow I know you are next to me.
Your arms wrapped around me wiping away my tears.

I remember when you were born… how happy I was to look into your sweet face, to feel your tiny hand wrapped around my finger, to hold you carefully in my arms. Then I watched you grow.. and I was filled with pride and delight by your first words, first steps..first everything. I held you in my lap and read you stories. You warmed my heart and made me laugh, you made life more fun. Now you are gone and I’m still here…but nothing can ever change how much you mean to me. You were a wonderful person and I love you. And I love that you are, and always will be…my daughter. Love always, DAD

“I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, all I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake, with which I’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.”
