Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.

I feel like I’ve just existed
And now it’s been a year.
I don’t know how I’ve lived and breathed
Without you being here.

I know you lived your lifetime
As short as that seems to me,
But the pain in my heart is still so great,
Yet I know your spirit is free.

At times I think I hear you
The thoughts come to my mind.
I struggle for the sound of your voice,
But your voice I cannot find.

Yet you come to me in many ways
So I know you did not die,
You want to tell me that you’re close,
And to please stop asking Why.

Our lives on earth seem all too brief,
Or brief as it seems to me.
But where you are is forever,
God calls that Eternity!

A year has come,
And you, so far away from me now;
But in my heart still.
Forever, I will hold you close.
Each smile, laugh and tear I’ve cried
A testament to your presence.
I will always love you,
No matter what happens.
Your death can not separate us.
I’m right here, loving you as always.
My heart is true and strong.
I will never forget your spirit.
I am no longer afraid.
To live or die is the same for me.
You are with me on this journey.
I raise your light to the heavens, and smile.
A year has passed now and I still am learning to cope with Jordans loss. he is on our minds everyday. hunter askes about him often. the other day hunter said to his friend taylor " did you know that my brother is in heaven? i was very sad before but im not sad anymore because he is happy now!" that made my heart very happy to know that even a 4 year old child knows that he is no longer suffering and in pain.
last year when I stopped fighting with God, and prayed for jordan, that is what i prayed for healing and no more pain. although I wish that he could still be with us and have this,I am at peace with him in my heart, because with us it wasnt possible for him to have that.
no matter what hunter and my life brings us, there will always be a missing piece but I am eternly greatful that I had Jordan as long as i did. and blessed that he choose me to be his mommy.
P.s thank you to those who continue to post in the guessbook I enjoy reading them. thank you mom for that beautiful poem. a huge thanks to whomever posted the poem from jordan, it is breathtaken and ment so much!!!
