Loving synchronicity...

I am writing to tell about an incredible event.  Two days ago, I  met an incredible woman that has an angel in heaven.  Her name is Marisol Martinez and her angel's name is Danny. Turns out that my beautiful soul sister Tai Pelli had sent me a video of a fundraiser for Danny, a walk to aid in the Prevention of Suicide.  We have started communicating ever since, and I am so humbled by Marisol's kind gesture of taking your name with her to the walk!  Another friend, Annette, is doing the same.  I am grateful to the...

Happy Birthday in Heaven, My Child

On May 8, 2012 you are turning 28 years old.  In heaven, where you have been residing since July, 2005. It has not been easy living without you; I have just learned to.  And a learning process it has been.  At times, the memories all come rushing back, and the pain becomes unbearable, but you are always in my thoughts and in my heart.  And I know the pain you endured and made you take your life are all gone. ...

Life Goes On Without You

The sun still sets And the wind still blows. How greatly I miss you, Nobody knows. The seasons change, And leaves still fall. The pain from missing you They can't grasp at all. The moon still rises, And stars shine bright. The way that you left me Just wasn't right. I ache to see your smiling face, Hold you again in my arms. Until that cherished time arrives, I'll pretend you're the sun that warms. ~ Cheryl Patino...

The day that changed my life

My Life changed, the very moment I found out That you had passed away. I couldn't stop it; there was nothing I could say. You've touched my life so deeply to a point you will never know, I try to think about you when I am feeling down and low. Sometimes when my day gets hard I will think about your beautiful smile and if I listen hard enough I will hear your voice after a while. It's you who give me a reason to go on with my day, and now...
