Isabella Angel Dodd

The tiny rosebud God picked to bloom in Heaven.
The master gardener from heaven above
Planted a seed in the garden of Love,
And from it there grew a rosebud small
That never had time to open at all.
For God in his perfect and all-wise way
Chose this rose for his heavenly bouquet,
And great was the joy of this tiny rose
To be the one our Father chose
To leave earth’s garden
For one on high
where roses bloom always and never die.
So, while you can’t see your precious rose bloom,
You know the great gardener from the upper room
Is watching and tending this wee rose with care,
Tenderly touching each petal so fair.
So think of your darling with the angels above,
Secure and contented and surrounded with love,
And remember God blessed and enriched your lives too,
For in dying your darling brought heaven closer to you.

For your other children XX

You have this big Sister,
She loves you very much,
But you’ll never get to see her,
Or feel her gentle touch.

She had to go away you see,
Through God’s garden gates.
Though she longs to meet you,
Heaven’s where she waits.

You have this big Sister,
She’s sending you her love,
Although she longs to be with you,
She watches from above.

She grew her Angel wings you see,
Though none of us were ready,
On one of heavens clouds she sleeps,
Cuddling her teddy.

You have this big Sister,
She’d love to come and play.
But for all eternity,
In the sky is where she’ll stay.

God had a plan you see,
He needs her by his side,
He’s shown her how to use her wings,
Through heavens clouds she glides.

You have this big Sister,
And though you are apart,
The love that you feel for her,
Will remain ever in your heart.

For Isabella xxx

I'm going to tell you something
I hope you'll never have to know.
I'll tell you how a heart can break
And tears can constant flow.
I lost my baby girl you see,
An angel in my eyes
God chose to take her hand one day
And led her to the skies.
But please do not forget my child
She was a person too
And forever she will live
Inside of me and you.
So, please don't ever tell me
That time will heal my pain
Because not even time
Can bring her back again.
Just tell me she is happy
In that land way up above
She's snuggled in an angels wings
All wrapped in Mummy's love.

Tribute Is For This Weekend


Candles Might Not Be Lit Until Monday Next Week It's My Birthday On Saturday So I Will Be Missing Christopher Even More Than Usual... Bless Him X


Grief Is Like A River

My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.

Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again.

I crash on rocks of anger;
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need

Are loving hands to hold me
When the waters are too swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.

Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past.
By swimming in hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.



If I Knew


If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
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
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 just right.

There will always be another day
To say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance to say
Our "Anything I can do?"

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 anyone,
Young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
You get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're 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, or a kiss
And you were too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
And whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
And that you'll 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.

Footprints in the Snow

To See Your Footprints in the Snow
To Hold Your Tiny Hand
To See Your Little Cheeks Aglow
A Cheeky Grin Upon Your Face
I Would Give Up Everything
To Share These Times With You
My Darling Issy Angel
I Love & Miss You
See You Later Twinkle

I Read This Quote & Thought of You My Twinkle Piexxx

Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots, of angels.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Each night we shed a silent tear
As we speak to you in prayer.
To let you know we love you
and just how much we care.
Take our million teardrops
wrap them up in love.
Then ask the wind to carry them
to you in Heaven above.

All my love Anne xx

Beautiful memories
Are wonderful things
They last till the longest day
They never wear out
They never get lost
And can never be given away
To some you may be forgotten
To others a part of the past
But to us who loved and lost you
Your memory will always last...

Christmas Without You

It’s that special time of year,
It’s Christmas once again.
And I never could have imagined
That it would bring me so much pain.
The toys are in the shops,
The ones we should be buying,
But all we have are empty arms
And a heart that’s full of crying.

I want to tell you all about Christmas
And watch your wide, bright eyes glow.
But it hurts because I’ll never see,
Your tiny footprints in the snow.
This time of year brings fresh despair,
At being so apart.
And the gap beneath the Christmas tree,
Reflects what’s in my heart.

Everyone anticipating
And having so much fun.
But I can only think of you,
My darling little one.
The Christmas lights reflect upon my tears,
oblivious to my pain.
And I know I’ll always feel this way,
until you are in my arms again.

I wish that you were here my darling,
But I know that cannot be.
Instead I’ll hang your bauble,
Upon the Christmas tree.
So, go my little angel,
With all your friends and play.
And I hope that, wherever you are,
You enjoy your Christmas day.
