Peace my heart...

Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
Let it not be a death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.

~Rabindranath Tagore

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me:

I wish you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too:

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand.

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity.
And all I've promised you.
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew."

"I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past."

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

God’s Garden

God looked around his garden,
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain;
He knew you would never get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And hills were hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered,
"Peace be thine."
He put his arms around you,
And lifted you to rest;
God's garden must be beautiful-He always takes the best.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For a part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

At the age of six, Brynn developed Type I, or insulin dependent, diabetes. At the age of twenty, she developed a lump in her cheek just below her right eye. After many tests and seeing multiple doctors, she was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma in April 2002. She started with 48 weeks of chemo and 6 weeks of radiation. She completed the treatment in June of 2003 and in only 2 months the tumor came back. After trying different treatments and meeting with a surgeon, it was decided that nothing was going to kill the tumor and completely remove it from her body. She decided to start hospice on Feb. 27, 2004 and she passed on to Heaven on March 22, 2004 and her journey has just begun. I started this website so family and friends could track her progress but I now keep this website to honor and remember her. Thank you for visiting.

Brynn requested that we hold a fundraiser in her memory for both diabetic and cancer related causes. As per her request my mother started the Brynn Lee Feather Fund. The first annual Brynn Lee Feather Fund has raised over $23,000! For more information please check out the Offical Press Release and to make donations.

Please visit this website and give some angels their wings

Here is another great website called Cancer Warriors, check it out. Brynn is listed in the memorial section.

September is Childhood Cancer Awarness Month. The offical ribbon color is gold. Please vist the site to learn more about childhood cancers.

Sorry, I have link fever but here are some great links to send gifts to kids who are sick. The first on is called Angels os Hope. It sends hand made angels, butterflies and smiley faces to sick kids. The second one is called Heavenly Hats. They send people who are losing their hair do to chemo hats for them to wear. Check them out they are great!

Happy Birthday Brynn!
We Love you a Ton!
Your new nephew will be here soon, too!

I found this little story that I think is perfect. Although Brynn is gone from our sight I know that she will never be gone from our hearts.

Gone From My Sight

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side
spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and
starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty
and strength. I stand and watch her until at length
she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where
the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!"

"Gone where?"

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in
mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and
she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her
destined port.

Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the
moment when someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout: "Here she comes!"

Thank you,
Bree
