HEARTFELT TEAR

So close are the angels to those that grieve. 

So close in Heaven to those who believe. 

'Tho difficult it is to see past your sorrow, 

Memories will help to comfort your tomorrow. 

For love leaves a path that no one can steal, 

And time is the element that is takes to heal. 

The heartfelt tears you feel today 

Is the delight you felt from yesterday. 

So look inside the chambers of your heart 

To see that you are not really apart. 

When sorrow comes, just look above 

Tears belong to those who had love.

OH SO FUNNY

Happy birthday little Bro i hope you find your way

This Holiday when you get together with Family and friends- remember that no family is perfect ...that you too no matter how SPECIAL will anoy someone at the dinner table. There will be people missing from that gathering because they have passed on or by choice. This may be a problem for some but look around you! Look at the ones who showed up despite what was going on in their lives- look at the children who deserve a happy memory -the ones that you hold onto in old age. You may not remember every present you received as a child - but you do remember the Family and friends , what spot the Tree belongs in- that one special dessert that must be there. If you find yourself feeling Sad or angry check it at the door- tell a story about the ones who have passed on- drink a toast and bless those who are missing no matter what the reason and CELEBRATE!!!! Christmas is about HOPE and the dawn of Redeeming Grace! I love what the Mom said in the movie the Family Stone -one of the characters in the movie who the whole family was giving a hard time to at Christmas asked ,"what makes you guys so special" She replied " we're not, we're just all we've got! This Holiday season LOVE THE ONES YOUR WITH- Peace and Love Kristine
