MY DARLING SAMANTHA
Looking into the depth of my heart where did you go. Looking up to the ocean of sea blue skies My Darling Samantha I feel you’re looking down protecting me as I did you. I remember your skin as soft as a new born. Your hair long shining full bodied like a trunk of a beach tree. Your eyes shined like diamonds so beautiful Yet your body so fragile like a porcelain doll. If you were to be dropped you would break.
You looked to me for your life your existence all I could do is what my inner thoughts told me. I nursed you like a baby for all of your 9 and half years. I fought as you fought for your precious life. Another day in hospital bringing you nearer to the skies above, I would pray and cry and wish I were you, so I could fight another bout of pneumonia for you.
The fear inside the touch of your skin your simple breathing for life itself my heart went to you so many times. You and I faced this journey together we fought. You taught me the patience of life. I cared and loved you beyond life itself, to keep you here with me. Sometimes a little smile would appear on you face, or you would try in your own world to let me know the pain and suffering, you sometimes went through, yet my darling Samantha you were never alone.
I reflect on your most precious short life, the achievements you showed yet with no guidance. I remember that first step you took in your small baby walker it had four silver legs a blue seat to hold your small body, the strength it must of taken for you to complete that, however another bout of pneumonia took that small miracle from you, more medication to help keep those dreaded fits from making you suffer even more.
Yet there was joy when we went to sea side you smiled and look around, the first time I placed you in the sea the coldness on your body the shock to your system, yet after that you seem to enjoy the ripples of the waves as they reach you. Bath time was a favourite of yours maybe the freedom of clothes and the soft warm water. It was difficult to understand your feelings some times. Yet how I loved you and I suffered as you did. The hours I sat with you laying in my arms feeding you carefully as I could, so the tea did not go down to your lungs and the times you would spit a meal at me as to say β€œI don’t want that get me something else” which is exactly what I did.
Together you and I learnt we had a special bond, I would sense your fear and try to overcome it with love from deep within side me. You would be asleep at night in your small cot, I would awake suddenly from a deep sleep only to find as I approached your cot you having another fit, I coped best I could to help you, I waited, cuddle you, prayed for you, till the breathing turned back to normal.
Give you up to an institution that was never to be over my dead body.You did not ask to come into this world unable to talk hear or learn the skills of communication.
However you developed your own world your own special ways I tried to understand sometimes I did. Yet with all of your strength being taken from you through the years, I knew the day would come when you would leave me with only memories. The times in hospital over the years the oxygen tents you were fighting. I would be at home trying to sleep waiting for the phone to ring. I lived in a world of fear of losing you what would my life be without you yet it didn’t happen that way.
To find you that morning lying in your new bed lifeless, was devastating. I remember your pale white face peaking beyond the sheets, cuddling you, still being able to feel the warmth of your body where the cover had kept you warm.
My Daring Samantha life goes on, yet when you left me part of me went with you, I MISS YOU MY DARLING SAMANTHA no more fighting for life just peace for you and memories for me. I truly know the GIFT OF LOVE because you gave it and LEFT IT WITH ME.

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.

An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.

There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.

No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.

All my love Sylvie

There's a very special place beyond the skies above
somewhere very peaceful that is full of light and Love
That special place is Heaven, where you're free to laugh and roam
it was your time to go there so the angels took you home
And though you're in our thoughts each day throughout the year
at special times like Christmas we all Wish you could be here
Now you're in a better place,your soul is laid to rest
safe with all the Angels for they only take the best.

FOR MONDAY

Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.


FOR TUESDAY

We who love you, sadly miss you,
As it dawns another year,
In our lonely hours of thinking,
Thoughts of you are ever near.


FOR WEDNESDAY

Always a smile, instead of a frown,
Always a hand, when one is down,
Always true, thoughtful and kind,
Wonderful memories they left behind.


FOR THURSDAY

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.


FOR FRIDAY

Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.

Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.


FOR SATURDAY

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.


FOR SUNDAY

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.

But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

bigs hugs from me to you and your
family and friends that you miss you ever day
but in our hearts forever you will not be

My Farewell to Samantha

I sat in a world of grief ridged to my seat; they came through the door a white bag in hand and placed Samantha small forlorn body inside. I watched in a maze them take her away that day. We had funeral arrangements to make, a white coffin laced in pure pink satin was my request that I gave. I sent the pretty little pink and white dress I had made for you and your small rag doll to keep you company for always.I told all my family not to wear black but to wear joyful clothes because you were just an angle here on earth. The day before you were buried I went to see you laid at rest in the tiny chapple next to the grand old church.

When I walked into the room candles they were lit, you lay in your pretty dress however a smile they placed upon your face. It did not please me because it looked so strange now that you were gone. However I prayed and looked at you peace for you at long last.Next day was the Funeral it was small and only a few friend and family did turn up. I gave each lady a pink carnation to place upon your pure white coffin. I had an Angle done in flowers with a porcelain dolls head because I suppose in life you were my precious little doll who I loved with all my heart, yet now inside the church I knew that you had gone to a better place than here.

As we walked up the rocky path to the grave that they had dug, we all stood there and words were spoken I can’t say ever what about. I watched them lower your coffin and the tears they flowed so hard. All of the carnations were thrown for each year of your short life 9 in all. I stood ridged to the spot I did not want to leave, yet a little tug from my young son reminded me, life goes on. Because my two dear sons needed me to carry on.
I LOVE YOU MISS YOU ALWAYS XXXXX

If We Could Bring You Back Again


If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.


If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.


If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.
