Her Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of her as gone away-
her journey's just begun
life holds so many facets-
this earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost
and she was loved so much!

In Memory Of Our Precious
"Antoinette Robyn Capponi"

3 years has passed..since our little girl went to heaven..
Antoinette is and always in our thoughts and we miss her dearly.
We cannot believe that 3 years have gone by since we have last seen and spoke to our baby girl.
But I must say I do talk to her everyday and light my candles in her memory.
I wanted to share with you all something that our dear friend sent to me in memory of "Antoinette"

Thank you "Nicole"

we thank everyone who has signed Antoinette's guestbook from time to time...
Love to you all

I wanted to share this with you all from a “special person” that I will always hold close to my heart as she comforted me and supported me through her wisdom and helped me believe in things I never thought possible.
We were going through a very critical time of our lives with our dear little “Antoinette” but somehow just talking to Nicole uplifted me and made me feel stronger within myself to get through each day.

This message just makes so much sense and if we all just give it a go, imagine what better place we live in will be!

Message from Rollo
As you know, Rollo is my Gatekeeper Guide. This is his wisdom for you for the coming weeks.

Do not be in fear. Fear lowers your vibration and attracts more of the same. Know that you are held safe in the hand of God. This God also resides within you. You are a storehouse for Universal Energy. This energy flows from you and out into the world on the carrier waves of your thoughts. These thoughts are then made manifest that is, your thoughts are then turned into things. They become your reality.

Do not grudge parting with your money. Pay your bills with love, knowing that this energy that flows out from you will also flow back to you. Speak kindly to yourself. Smile and speak warmly to others. Think kind thoughts about yourself and the people around you. If a person irritates and upsets you, work to find one kind thought of them -focus your energies on what is good so that this goodness will become dominant and manifest in their interactions with the •world, and in their hearts.

Open your heart chakra and radiate love and light out into the world, starting always with yourself. Take just a few moments each day to connect and draw Universal Energy down into your body. See and feel yourself not as you are, but as who you are becoming. All change must first start with a thought. That is a Universal Law. And the Universe can only deliver what you ask for, what you hold in your heart, what you hold in your heads, and what you radiate.

If you are really down, and find it impossible to think kindly of yourself, or with positive energy about your future, then act! Go for a walk in nature, listen to some beautiful music, read something that uplifts you, spend time with your pet, find something beautiful in a flower or a cloud. Learn to marvel at the magic within you, that pumps your heart and moves your lungs and that creates such vivid pictures and emotions within your head. Find something beautiful to focus on, and that uplifts you. Come back to that thing often until you are able to hold that vibration for yourself. All is well. You are very much loved. Shine your Light in the World. And know we are always here to help.

Thank you Nicole for letting me share this with Family and friends.

It has been so long since my last update I am not sure where to begin.
Here is a little update on our family~~
Chantelle Antoinette Capponi entered our lives on the 2February 06.
Weighing 7pound 10, with beautiful blue eyes and lots of hair.
Born at the Matear Hospital Mackay.
Had a few ups and downs but we are home now and trying to get a routine happening, but I spose there is plenty of time for that. She is a blessing from up above. Antoinette always said she will send an angel and indeed she did.
Joshua adores Chantelle so much and he is proud to be a big brother.
At the same time he talks about his big sister all the time, and he was very happy to send off some balloons for Antoinette's 8th birthday on the 22nd February.

We are all doing great and love you all to sign the guestbook and take a look at the photo's and if you scroll down this page and click on the link for the quilts of love which is my favourite and I am sure it will be yours too.

Love to everyone
Lenny, Vicki, Joshua and Chantelle

Hi to the world,
It has been a while since my last journal. The year has gone so fast. A little update on our family............
Joshua is now 5years old and loves Preschool, he wants to go everyday. His favourite thing at Preschool is "Show and Tell" he loves it.
Lenny is doing the daddy and husband thing is work, unfortunately someone has to do it.
And for me....I AM PREGNANT.... I am nearly 14weeks, so excited for the big day which is 1st February 2006.
Which I think is a blessing from up above as the baby is due in the same month of our dear little princess 'Antoinette'.
Antoinette has been with the angels for nearly 2years on the 9th of August, sadly missed and always loved by all of us.
We always do something special for her on this day. Joshua loves drawing on balloons for his sister and letting them go up to her.
He happend to say the other day to his daddy,
"Daddy don't mow the grass" we asked why and he said "then it will grow really high up to the sky and Antoinette can climb down it and come home"
The things he says just shows he is always thinking of his sister........
I would love for anyone if they have a beautiful poem please send it to me as I am looking for one to place on Antoinette's page for her 2year memory.
So if you find one or wish to write one I would love to read it, please email it to me at capponi@aapt.net.au
thank you so much for all your support and please keep signing Antoinette's guestbook as it means so much to us.
Love to you all

Here is a poem I wanted to share with everyone, that was handed onto me from a dear person who also has endured the pain of losing her little girl "Emily"

IN MEMORY OF THESE SWEET LITTLE ANGELS....

CHRISTMAS TIME..

I see the countless Christmas trees,
Around the world below.
With tiny lights like heavens stars
So beautiful as they glow.

The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear.
For I am spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs,
That people hold so dear.
But the sounds of music can't compare,
with the Christmas choir up here.

For I have no words to tell you,
Of that joy their voices bring.
For it is beyond description,
To hear an angel sing.

I can't tell you of the splendor,
Or the peace here in this place.
Can you just imagine Christmas,
With Our Savior face to face.

I'll ask Him to light your spirit,
As I tell Him of your love.
So then pray one for another,
As you lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful,
And let your spirit sing.
For I'm spending Christmas in Heaven,
And I'm walking with the King.

- Author Unknown

Many Thanks To Julie...

Well it is almost the end of year "2004" what a year it has been....Happy Times....Sad Times....Good Days....Bad Days...
Some days we have to remind ourselves that every breath of air is a blessing and we are all hear to live and learn, sometimes our journey has good lessons and unfortunately there is not so good lessons but they are lessons and we always come out better people...
Lenny and myself are better people the journey we have endured has made us much stronger and we appreciate life!
Everyday that goes by we know our dear little angel is watching from above...

LITTLE ANGEL

We will not forget you
Little angel, precious child
We think about you every day
The love we shared- your smile

We think about the happy times
And not about the sad
And we treasure every memory
Of the special times we had

We are leaning on God's promise
Someday we will be Together
again in Heaven
For all Eternity...

We wish everyone a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year....
Love to you all

Always with us our Beautiful Antoinette

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 angel's wings
all wrapped in mummy's love.

Mummy Loves you Always........

ONE YEAR TODAY...IN MEMORY OF OUR LITTLE GIRL...
ANTOINETTE ROBYN CAPPONI
This day one year ago our little girl became an angel.
Instead of us looking over Antoinette and protecting her in everyday life as parents, she is watching over us.
Still so clear in our minds what our little girl had to endure while she was ill, we feel at peace for her.
In the same breath...we wish our baby girl was here....
Joshua always talks about his sister, the last few weeks he has been asking for her and wanting her to come home.
We tell him that Antoinette was very sick and had to go live with the angels, this we have always told him from day one, and that Antoinette is better now running,talking and playing. Just the other day he asked again and I explained to him what happend, he said back to me..Mummy I got sick and I went to the angels and they made me better now I am home again. Antoinette can come home now she is better...
It just goes to show how much children take in and our boy believe me has an answer for everything.
Thanks to everyone for the continuing support throughout the years we love you all.
Lenny, Vicki and Joshua

Hi to everyone,
Just another thank you for those dropping in from time to time and signing "Antoinette's" guestbook.
I enjoy reading them. Well nearly 1 year since our little princess departed us, to further her journey. I am sure Antoinette is looking over us and especially Joshua as he speaks of her constantly.
We cannot explain the feeling that we have and the days that we have when we so much want our precious one to be here with us. But knowing that there is so many that care and support us, this we can explain.
We are so thankful for having you all in our lives.
I will make this journal short as I will be updating again shortly.
Love to you all and keep signing Antoinette's guestbook as we love to hear from you all.
Lenny, Vicki and Joshua

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SPECIAL LITTLE ANGEL
ANTOINETTE ROBYN CAPPONI

Today is a very special day for us as our little girl turns 6years old. We can remember so clearly when she was born Antoinette was the most precious little bundle of joy.
We had a little gathering today at home for Antoinette's Birthday it was beautiful. We just sat out under the trees and looked through all our family albums and talked about our little girl. And looking at her baby photo's and photo's of her and brother Joshua. Also I got some balloons and we wrote messages on them and sang Happy Birthday and let them fly high, I am sure Antoinette will be up there collecting them, before anyone else gets them.
Today was a very touching, emotional and spirutal day and and we want to thank everyone as we are sure there are many that are thinking of Antoinette today.
Love to you all
Lenny, Vicki and Joshua

Our first Christmas without our dear little Antoinette......

We must say that Christmas day was very emotional and difficult for us, as this Christmas we didn't have our little girl beside us. We know that she was with us in spirit and we feel her presence, but at the same time we just wanted to click our fingers and she will return to us.... Only if it was that easy.
We are at the start of a new year now, Joshua starts Kindy and he is so excited about that. I want to do some fundraising this year for CLCS in Brisbane,Make A Wish Foundation and the list goes on.
We will make this short and want to wish everyone a happy, healthy and EXCITING New Year.
Also we would love to thank everyone for there support throughout Antoinette's illness and passing.
A special Thank You to the quilts of love for dropping in from time to time and signing Antoinette's guest book.
Love to you all
Lenny, Vicki and Joshua

Antoinette is now a beautiful angel.....................
........................................................
Saddly our little princess has passed over to eternal life on the 9th of August 2003. We seen her into this life and seen her out..not what any parent wants to endure.
Antoinette is now at peace with no pain therefore no suffering. She went peacfully at home with no pain.
There is not a day that goes by that Antoinette is not thought of. This beautiful little angel touched so many hearts in so many ways, words cannot describe it.
We feel her presence everyday and that is a comfort to us.
In the short time we had Antoinette in our life she gave us so much joy, laughter, love and the list goes on......
She was the most precious gift given to us, even though it was only for a short time.
Always in our hearts this precious little angel.
POEM:
All is Well

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still,
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together,
Play,smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effort, without the trace of shadow
on it,
Life means all that it ever meant,
It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, somewhere very near,just around the
corner.....
ALL IS WELL..Always in our thoughts our dear little Antoinette..(Daddy,Mummy and Joshua)
Love and Light
Lenny, Vicki and Joshua

Hello to everyone,
Thank you for checking in from time to time also many thanks for those that have signed Antoinette's Guest book.
Please sign as many times as you like just to let us know that you have been back. Antoinette is doing great,I will update the photo's when I develop new ones. It is around week 7 that Antoinette has been on her new treatment"Protocel" and she is doing wonderful,we do have the ups and downs from day to day but we get through them with a little help from each other(my husband and I )and the help from family and friends.
What would we do without these special people in our lives,
it makes a diffence knowing that they are here for us and Antoinette. Somedays getting out of bed and just not knowing what the day will bring and how Antoinette is going to feel is a little confusing and tiring for all of us especially for our little princess as she wants to feel as
normal and beable to do all what other children do and not
feel any pain or feel sick throughout her day. The days that she wakes up and smiles all day long and has such a wonderful day we pray for many more days like these.
We thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for their
support and prayers it is a comfort to us knowing that we have these beautiful people in our lives.
Love and Light
Lenny, Vicki, Antoinette and Joshua Capponi
LOVE YOU ALL

After being home for 6months Antoinette is looking better every day always has a smile her hair growing back walking around playing doing normal activities.
7th of May comes around and it is time for Antoinette to have her MRI scan as normal we stayed very positive about the whole situation...Antoinette coped with the MRI very well and before we knew it we were back at the unit waiting for the results. We went for our appointment next day as for you all that have been through this you can understand how scared we were and trying to be positive at the same time. Then the doctor hit us with ..I am sorry Antoinette has a new tumor but this time in her spine in the lower part...we both just felt so numb..we just cannot described the feeling..and to top it off the doctor also said there is nothing they can do and to take her home and make her comfortable...and that is just what we did but we went home
to look for further options and thats when we came across a medicine called Protocel(many thanks to susan)so we started Protocel on May28th 2003 and staying very hopeful with this medicine,Gods help and everyones prayers our little girl will beat this horrible disease.............................
Love and Light Lenny and Vicki

It all began in February 2002, just a little vomiting which increased to large amounts in days..........................
Let us start from the beginning..
My husband(Lenny) and myself(Vicki) have two beautiful children Antoinette now 5yrs old (back then she was 4yrs)and Joshua 3yrs old.
We moved from our hometown to an outback town to start a fresh new life. After 12 months we felt a great need to go back to our hometown as we were preparing for this to happen Antoinette became very ill with vomiting,dizziness and not eating well. She was admitted in hospital and discharged with the diagnoses of she has a virus.
We headed on back to our hometown and went to our own doctor
and he requested a cat scan which revealed the dreadful brain tumor. The very next day we were flown out to the nearest Childrens hospital..devasted, angry, hurt and very scared of the unknown. Antoinette was in Intensive Care for quite some time after her eight hour operation in which 93% of the tumor was removed.(diagnoses Rhabdoid Brain Tumor in the back part of her brain ) Her operation was a success, but later that night she suffered a life threatening seizure.
But our beautiful, high spirited girl pulled through. She was still very sick as she contracted a virus on her chest, and was heavily sedated for a month and more. As for us as parents to see Antoinette not able to open her eyes or even move for so long it broke our hearts but we always had hope.
Antoinette recieved Radiation as she was still in I.C.U then
Chemo when we were in the ward. The best news came to us when Antoinette had her MRI and she was given the all clear.
After going through all the treatments in which Chemo we nearlly lost her more than a couple of times Antoinette is unable to talk or swallow. Antoinette had to relearn to walk all over again and the speech and swallow we are working on. After nearlly a year of being in hospitals we are given the go ahead to finally go home, we were so glad to take Antoinette home as it was just before Christmas 2002. Having gone through what we went through and others like us, we have learned the beauty of life, patience, understanding, faith and positive thinking.
MAY THE ANGELS KEEP WATCHING OVER OUR LITTLE ANTOINETTE....
MAY THE ANGELS WATCH OVER YOU AND YOURS...................
