Beautiful Memories came from your heart. I got to know michael a little bit because of you. Love never dies and lives on forever in our hearts. Do you really know if you will never see him again. We are spirit beings forever and I am sure we are all in for many surprises when all is said and done. Thanks for sharing your love and thoughtful writing.

    Hi..First my apologies that you never received a response from me...I lost touch with FS for awhile and only returned today to post a very special story about Michael...Today is the anniversary of his death and though it has been years...sometimes it feels like yesterday. God bless and hope this finds you and Shelby together in heart and mind.

This is very beautiful. I am sorry for your loss. I have lost my first baby. He was only 3 months old. A short 6 months later I miscarried at 2 months along. I know your pain and hurt. God Bless you for sharing Michaels life. Take care, Janalea

    Janalea,

    First and foremost, my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry that you lost your child. Don't ever let anyone say to you that your pain is not as great as someone who had their child longer...Losing a part of you, a very special part of you, and being cheated of experiencing all the moments in life that a mother shares with her child (regardless of how old the child is) is the most devastating event in ones life. I had two miscarriages, lost my precious son and also my seventeen year old grandson. If you ever need to talk, please fel free to message me. In the mean time, consider that our children are together, watching over us, and smiling. Thank you for reading Michael's poem...If you get a chance, please read "Butterflies From Heaven." I wrote it a long time ago, shortly after Michael died, but it was my salvation factor. I pray you find one too. Smiles, Carol

    juanita,

    You read my son's poem at a time when I really needed to know that someone else was connecting to me. Can't thank you enough...It was like a blessing from heaven. Smiles to you...Carol

The repetition of the one line lends rhythm to this writing.

The poem expresses such happiness through past memories and yet great sorrow for the loss of future memories.

The different scenarios are very sweet and loving. I like how each one adds a new warmth and affection.

Very nice work.

    I'm so sorry to hear of the loss in your family. It is probably very difficult to go through more loss.

Wow. Absolutely perfect. There is so much truth and pain in this tale that it is hard to comment on. children are the reason we breath and without them we would be able to define ourselves. Thank you so much for sharing this. What a wonderful way to commemorate a life.

This is beautiful. I can picture what is happening in each paragraph and though most make me smile I find myself very sad. What a wonderful say to express your feelings. Thanks for sharing this will me.
