Memories & Candles


I'm at Granny's house in Indiana now. We just got back from a quick trip to Tennessee that we made so we could see someone we care about who is dying from cancer.

We hadn't planned to go back again as the trip was getting too hard for your great-granny to make, but of course once we were there, we went to all of the cemeteries where members of her family were buried. She stayed in the car at all

Today in the mail, I got a necklace from your mommy for Mother's Day. There's a footprint on it. It's yours! I can't tell you how much it meant to me to be reminded that you are planted right there in my heart. Your footprints are all over me and all over my life. What a gift you were Anna... you still bring treasure into my life!

Love you, miss you, each and every day!

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)

your heart is safe Anna, it is tucked away within the hearts of all who loved you!

I miss you each and every day!

Love,

Mimi

Granny's 90th birthday is coming in August. We've just begun to plan a party to celebrate all those years of loving, encouraging, hopes, dreams, sadness, pain, grief and giving. She's lived a long and productive life and she loved you deeply. She has missed you these past years, just as the rest of of us who loved you have.

I am will be looking for you on the day that we gather at her home to honor those years. Whether

“There is nothing that can replace the absence of someone dear to us, and one should not even attempt to do so. One must simply hold out and endure it. At first that sounds very hard, but at the same time it is also a great comfort. For to the extent the emptiness truly remains unfilled one remains connected to the other person through it. It is wrong to say that God fills the emptiness. God in no way fills

It's springtime! There are birds chirping, squirrels scampering about the yard and jumping through the tree branches. I can see and smell the new growth all around... there are spring flowers, daisies and the like and the color... pinks, purples, yellows, greens... all the colors that were such a part of your life. I sense your presence everywhere in the springtime... and I miss you!

Love,

Mimi

In my daily readings this morning was a meditation that reminded me how young Jesus was when he died. It also mentioned Anne Frank and one of the saints that lived a very short life. There are many others but those were the ones highlighted in that writing.

Like them, your life was quite short in the years you were here. The difference is that your life was limited not only in time but in your ability to interact with your

These lyrics from a Michael Jackson song that I had never heard until today stuck me hard. How could I not think of you and how you were gone much too soon!
*************
Gone Too Soon
Michael Jackson

Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon

Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon

Like A

Two years sweet girl... it's almost impossible to believe. So many people still think of all of us who were left behind that day. They still pray for us and express concern and offer encouragement.

By all measures Anna, you were different to the world, but to your family, you were a miracle, you brought joy and hope and faith into our lives. It wasn't hard to love you, but it's so hard missing you.

I love you Anna and I always will!
