 To Katie.......

............With  our love, xxx

A Christmas Present

It's Christmas and we'll miss you
You'll never know how much
The greatest thing we could get
Would be just to feel your touch.

We know you're safe in God's arms
And you're as happy as can be
And we know we're being selfish
To want you here with me.

Have a lovely Christmas
I'll get by, you'll see
Just Promise me on Christmas day
That you will think of me

 

 

To Mum & Dad & Chris.......

With my Love Katie.xxxx 

 

An Angels Christmas wish x

I looked through the clouds and what did I see,
The faces of my family, and their thoughts were of me.
Their eyes filled with tears, their faces so sad,
My wings fluttered softly and I felt so bad;
For I could do nothing to change how they felt,
Nor could I alter the hand fate had dealt.
My tears fell like raindrops, my heart felt so tight,
I lifted my face to heaven and told God of my plight,
For I can never be free just to fly,
As long as there's one lonely tear in your eye.
My time on earth was spent to please you,
And though what has happened was not my own choice,
The plan, Mum, Dad & Chris, came from a much higher voice.
As the birthday of our Savior and Lord draws so near,
I have a small plea I would like you to hear,
Remember me, you all, with happiness and smiles,
And know when you do my soul will soar miles.
My wings will be light, and my heart will be free,
In the brightest sunshine is where you'll see me

 

To Our Friends, Near and Far......

 Our Christmas Wish For You

Our Christmas wish for you, our friend
Is not a simple one
For We wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun

We wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer

May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought

May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold

We wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too ..

 

 The story of our lives, all of us, not just Wayne Chris & I will continue; for as long as our hearts keep beating.  Keep your story strong, and remember those around you may have other stories to tell.  This story has to come to an end to enable another story to begin, dont forget it or pretend it never happened to ease your sadness, remember Katie lived life as she wanted, loved and was happy.
