God's Garden Must Be Beautiful

God looked around the garden, and found an empty space.
He looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful, for he only takes the best.
He knew that you were weary, and he knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never be well on earth again.
He saw the roads were getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb,
So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered peace be thine.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone...
For part of us went with you the day God called you home.

When I Am Gone

When I am gone, release me - let me go I have so many things to see and do. You must
not tie yourself to me with tears Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you love,
you can only guess, how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love each
have shown, but now it is time I travelled alone. So grieve awhile for me if grieve you
must, then let your grief be comforted by trust It is only for a while that we must part so
bless those memories within your heart.
I will not be far away, for life goes on. so if you need me, call and I will come. Though
you cannot see or touch me, I will be near And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you, soft and clear.
Then when you must come this way alone, I will greet you with a smile and "Welcome
Home"


For so long I have grieved for my sweet little girl Elizabeth and deep down in my heart I always will. She was so full of life and her life is worth celebrating. Instead of grieving and mourning her I am celebrating her life because that is what she would have wanted and she would not want me to give up. I have come along way in the last seven years and have begun healing though it isn't easy. There will always be a part of me that will ache for her but she is my sweet angel looking over me.

My life has taken different directions since Elizabeth left but I am in a good place now with my life. I'm happy and I have learned to handle and deal with the pain of losing her. I don't cry as much or as often now though I still have my moments but I have so much support from so many people.

Elizabeth, you will always be a part of me and you will be with me always. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten by mommy. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and I know you are having so much fun in Heaven and you have so many people up there to help you. Just remember my sweet little girl that mommy will always love you.
