Tomorrow
IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY
AND MEMORIES WERE A LANE
WE WOULD WALK RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN
AND BRING YOU BACK AGAIN
NO FAREWELL WORDS WERE SPOKEN
NO TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
YOU WERE GONE BEFORE WE KNEW IT
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY
OUR HEARTS STILL ACHE IN SADNESS
AND SECRET TEARS STILL FLOW
WHAT IT MEANT TO LOSE YOU
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
BUT KNOW WE KNOW YOU WANT US
TO MOURN FOR YOU NO MORE
TO REMEMBER ALL THE HAPPY TIMES
LIFE STILL HAS MUCH IN STORE
SINCE YOU'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
WE PLEDGE TO YOU TODAY
A HALLOWED PLACE WITHIN OUR HEARTS
IS WHERE YOU'LL ALWAYS STAY
Tomorrow I took the day off from work to spend the day with Alex. I know I will feel the whole day through as though something is missing!! She's missing, she is missing from our world. I want to take her to do so many things she never got to experience,touch,or hear. We are under a high terror alert right now and whats strange is I don't have an ounce of fear running through my body over it. When 9/11 happened I feared everyday that something more was going to happen, What happened today and what they found, I don't fear. I don't know why but it's another thing she changed in my life. I don't think that I don't have the ear b/c I don't want to be in this world anymore, I know the value of life and I would never take that for granted, however she made this strong willed person come out of me, where I know there is so much wrong and no matter how bad it gets I can handle it. I don't stress the little stuff anymore, there's far too many things that are worse. I don't know maybe I am just rambling but for whatever unknown reason I don't fear anymore.

I just got chills reading that poem. I came across that very same poem the day before yesterday, and was going to send it to you. I thought of you guys (as I often do) as soon as I read it. Words can be so powerful sometimes. I understand what you are saying about not being "fearful" anymore. I felt the same way when I lost Mom. It's really hard to explain...Like you are someone else, or walking through your days and not really caring about anything, but caring about everything all at the same time. That is kind of how I felt at that time. (still do sometimes) I wish I could do something to lessen the pain you feel. (all of you) I have felt pain in my loss experiences, and I know that the wave of sorrow comes and goes. I want to help you so much, and I know that I can't do anything...(it's very upseting to see family in pain)just know that if you need to talk, scream, cry or just sit and say nothing...I am here for you. Hailey touched us all in a special way. We will all never forget her loving smile and sparkling eyes. Keep love alive in your heart for her. She is your Angel girl!
You hit the nail on the head, that feeling is a wave that comes and goes and I am sure it will be there forever.I thank you for being there!!It means alot!!I'm sure you know!! She did touch everyone and I think she will continue to do that.But thank you again for beng there Tina it does mean alot!! I love you guys,talk to you soon!! Give those kiddies kisses from us!!
hey when I see that photo of her I can hear that spanky laugh of hers cant you?That laugh can from the bottom of her tummy.I sure miss it..
