“My Mom Lies”
Author Unknown
My Mom, she tells a lot of lies
She never did before.
From now until she dies,
She'll tell a whole lot more.
Ask my Mom how she is
And because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie
Because she can't describe the pain.
Ask my Mom how she is,
She'll say, "I'm alright".
If that's the truth,then tell me,
why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mom how she is,
She seems to cope so well.
She didn't have a choice you see
nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mom how she is,
"I'm fine, I’m well, I'm coping".
For God's sake Mom,
just tell the truth
just say your heart is broken.
She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how she is,
She'll lie and say she's fine.
I am Here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold.
I'll say, “You’re lucky to get in here, Mom
With all the lies you told!"

Friday, January 25, 2008 11:08 AM CST We survived another birthday without Paige. Her birthday was the 21st. She would have been 15. I can't even imagine what she would have been like. I find myself watching her friends and wondering if she would have been like them. I walk through the stores and wonder what size clothes she would wear and what kind of clothes shew would like. We should be talking about boys and thinking about learning to drive.
Her birthday this year fell on Martin Luther King Day. We were going to go to Disneyland until we remembered that all the schools were out and that would not be a good idea. Instead, we decided to go to a movie that we think she would have liked. We went by the cemetery and left a bag of Skittles on our way to the theater. We met some friends and saw the movie 27 Dresses. The movie was early and we didn't want to go home so we decided to see another movie, American Treasure. Yes, we did buy a ticket for both movies. We really liked both movies.
We went to the grocery store on our way home to get Paige's favorite foods for dinner and we ran into one of her nurses, Susan. It was great to see her and catch up for a while. After visiting, we picked up a roasted chicken, green beans, and cake. The cake was chocolate because there was no white cake left.
The best part of the day was when we got home. Her friend Amber and the rest of the girls from her Sunday School class broke into our house and "heart attacked" us. The girls cut out tons of paper hearts and put them up on the windows, floor, and in the kitchen. There was a trail of confetti hearts and chocolate hearts leading into Paige's room. In her room there was a banner that said, "Happy Birthday Paige" and a vase with roses. In the kitchen there were also hearts and a note to open the fridge. There was a tray with cupcakes and candles.
How sweet and wonderful that these girls continue to remember their friend. How lucky Paige is to have such great friends. It meant so much to us that they remember her. We are so grateful for the phone calls, cards, and flowers that we received from everyone. It helps us so much to know that other people continue to remember her.
