I thought of you.... / Shannon Barry (Friend) I thought of you today while I was taking a walk next to the water. I couldn't help but want to tell you how much I miss you and how I much I want you to be planning my wedding with me. You would love it....hydrangea's because we both know I love them so much. There will be a single pink rosse to remember you and so you will be with me on that day. You are so missed hun and I dunno what to do about everything...all I want to do is cry with you and hear you tell me that "God has a plan and that everything will work out. I am going to be ok and htat you love me!!!!" I love you....keep looking down...I will try to make you proud! For you Jen!Close
Precious Jen, I came across your site while browsing through memory.com. You have such beautiful pictures, and a beautiful family. As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words," yours are worth so much more.
I do not know the pain of losing a child, but I can surely understand and sympathize with the loss of a child, because I have 6 of my own. In fact my youngest was born on October 13th, 2005, a day after your birthday.
Jen, no one will ever find the answer to why God called you home so soon. Yet we do know that on that dreadful day in June, God plucked one of his most brightest and beautiful roses from his bouquet. Remembering you.

What a beautiful Angel Jenny is. I saw you lit a candle at my Sara's memory site. Thank you. Life just isn't the same without our girls. One day at a time. Sometimes one hour at a time. God Bless. Close
You weren't here to bring me my favorite flowers today so I got them for you. Pink Stargazers and Alstroemeria lilies. You'd be so proud of me. I finally pronounced them right [lol] and the house smells wonderful! I love you so much Pumpkin! Mama

I WISH... / Poem From Compassionate Friends
I wish my child hadn't died. I wish I had her back. I wish you wouldn't be afraid to speak my child's name. My child lived and was very important to me. I need to hear that she was important to you also. If I cry and get emotional when you talk about my child, I wish you knew that it isn't because you have hurt me. My child's death is the cause of my tears. You have talked about my child and you have allowed me to share my grief. I thank you for both. Being a bereaved parent is not contagious, so I wish you wouldn't shy away from me. I need you now more than ever. I need diversions, so I do want to hear about you, but I also want you to hear about me. I might be sad and I might cry, but I wish you would let me talk about my child; my favorite topic of the day. I know that you think of and pray for me often. I also know that my child's death pains you too. I wish you would let me know these things through a phone call, a card or note, or a real big hug. I wish you wouldn't expect my grief to be over. These first years are traumatic for me, but I wish you could understand that my grief will never be over. I will suffer the death of my child until the day I die. I am working hard in my recovery, but I wish you could understand that I will never fully recover. I will always miss my child and I will always grieve that she is dead. I wish you wouldn't expect me "not to think about it" or "be happy". Neither will happen for a very long time, so don't frustrate yourself. I don't want to have a "Pity party", but I do wish you would let me grieve. I must hurt before I can heal. I wish you understood how my life has shattered. I know it is miserable for you to be around me when I'm feeling miserable. Please be as patient with me as I am with you. When I say, "I'm doing okay", I wish you could understand that I don't "feel" okay and that I struggle daily. I wish you knew that all of the grief reactions I'm having are very normal. Depression, anger, hopelessness and overwhelming sadness are all to be expected. So please excuse me when I'm quiet and withdrawn or irritable and cranky. Your advice to "take it one day at a time" is excellent advice. However, a day is too much and too fast for me right now. I wish you could understand that I'm doing good to handle an hour at a time. Please excuse me if I seem rude, certainly not my intent. Sometimes the world around me goes too fast and I need to get off. When I walk away, I wish you would let me find a quiet place to spend time alone. I wish you understood that grief changes people. When my child died, a big part of me died with her. I am not the same person I was before my child died and I will never be that person again. I wish very much that you could understand ~ understand my loss and my grief. But, I pray daily that you will never understand. Close
Thinking of you / Donna Hurth ^i^ Sarah's Mom
I am moved by your "3 second" story. I too lost my daughter in a car accident and continually play those 3 seconds in my mind too. I know our Angels are in a better place and I also know they are still with us. Your daughter and family are in my prayers. My the memories of your precious Angel help to ease your pain until you are reunited in heaven. God Bless. Close

Today/ Jillian Kennedy (friend) Today Today I lost you He took you from me Up to the big beyond Today I lost you I loved you and you loved me I was your Jewel You were my Gem Together, we could light up the nights sky But Today Today I lost you There is no more time for us to share There is no more time for us to spend Laughing together about nothing and everything Where did all the time go? When do I get back my time with you? When do I get to laugh about nothing? When do I get to forget my cares and spend my days with you? Not Today Today I lost you No longer will I see your bright shining face No longer will I share your laughter Can I still call on you my Gem? Will you answer my cries? Will you come to your Jewels rescue? I believe you are still here with me Keeping all the worries at bay You've stayed here by my side Not wanting to give up what we had Today Today I lost you But no worries Because today Today I found you I found you in my heart Watching over me with the care you have always given me I love you Jenn
