TRIBUTES FOR THE WEEKEND
Thursday.
♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥
Although the World keeps turning
And the sun comes up each day,
Life has never been the same
Since you were called away.
You were such a special person -
So, gentle, good and kind
And have left the sweetest memories
And thoughts of you behind.
I only wish there was a way
That I could see you one more time
To thank you for the joy you brought
Into this life of mine."
♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥
Friday.
♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥
When you feel you miss me most,
As years go driftin by,
Each memory will prove to you,
That love can never die,
That while I left you far too soon,
I did not go alone,
For the father sent his angels,
To gently take me home,
Take comfort when you think of me,
Hold my love deep within your heart,
And with the warmth of every memory,
We will never be apart.
♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥
Saturday.
Never think you are on your own
I`d never let you walk alone
When you`re down and want to cry
Let it out, let your tears run dry,
I watch and guide you everyday
So that you can find your way
And when you`re down and in despair
Just call my name and i`ll be there,
Right by your side through good and bad
But you need never feel sad,
Until it`s time for your journey home
Just remember you`re not on your own
We`ll meet again sometime soon
And we`ll be together, like the stars and moon
♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥
Sunday.
I have a picture of you I carry in my heart
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
I have a memory of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold
If you ask me how I am doing I would say just fine
But the truth is if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you
After all this time you are still with me that is true
Somehow you remain so deep inside
This memory I will never ever want to hide
♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥
Monday.
My Angel ever at my side
how lovely you must be -
To leave your home in heaven,
to guard someone like me.
♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥
When I'm far away from home,
or maybe hard at work
I know you will protect me,
from harm along the way.
♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥
Your beautiful and shining face,
I see not, though you're near
The sweetness of your lovely voice,
I cannot really hear.
♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥
When I pray, you're praying too,
your prayer is just for me.
But, when I sleep you never do,
You're watching over me
♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥
I think of you so often
And I think of you with love
I think about you watching me
From heaven up above
I think of you so often
But sometimes it’s with tears
As I recall the loving times
We had throughout the years
I think of you so often
And long to you see your face
Laughing eyes and sense of fun
No one can take your place
I think of you so often
It breaks my heart to know
That you are in another place
Where I am not ready to go
I think of you so often
But know that one sweet day
We will be together again
And I will get to say
‘I love you xxx
♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥ ♥ღ♥
I hope that you all have a lovely weekend
my friends,with love as always linda.xxx
back monday

Quietly I Weep
By Lyndie Sorenson
Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence
Quietly I weep
I long to see your smile
Hear your laughter, hug you tight
But you're no longer with me
You've headed toward the light
I'm sure you are quite happy
Here on earth I miss you so
Asking that same question
Why was it you that had to go?
I am sure there is an answer...
One that might make sense
When others offer reasons
I'm just on the defence
If they could understand me
Know how hard life is with grief
Just hold my hand and listen...
That would be a great relief
Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence...
Quietly I weep

A Peek Into Heaven
Copyright 2006 Callie Sanders Thornton
Just one little peek into heaven,
Is all I'm asking for today.
I just want to know how he's doing,
And heaven seems so far away.
Is he playing on the clouds with angels?
Is he laughing and running today?
Does he miss me?
I guess only he knows.
Oh why does heaven seem so far away?
If you just let me look for a moment,
To catch a glimpse of his sweet smiling face,
I promise I won't try to take him,
I know, he's in a better place.
Just one little peek into heaven,
Is all I'm asking for today.
I just want to know how he's doing,
And heaven seems so far away...

FOR RICHARD WITH LOVE
You are our special Angel
Up above in Heaven now.
We wish that we could hold you,
If only there was a way how.
You are still our beloved Son.
We keep you in our hearts.
We know someday we'll see you
And we won’t be apart.
But until then we'll think of you
In sunshine or in showers.
We will always keep on loving you,
And you will always be ours.
So take care our darling Richard
In Heaven up above.
And until the day we see you,
We'll send up all our love.

♥ It May Be The Last ♥
It may be the last
time spent with you
is like sand in the hour glass
slowly fading away
every minute I touch your face,
every second I hear you laugh
it echoes in my mind, it may be the last
every time you make me smile,
I lock it deeply into my soul
every night I wish upon a star
hoping you’re wishing on mine
for I fear our star is fading,
I am afraid to blink for one minute
fearing you will disappear
I'm afraid to release you from my mind,
it is the reminder of you I have left
If the only way I could be with you forever
is in my dreams,
then I will sleep for eternity
my heart clings to you, not yet realizing,
you're already gone.

I would like to thank everyone for all the candles, tributes & pictures that are left on Christopher's website they are all very much appreciated.
Tributes For Week Starting 23rd November
FOR MONDAY
The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.
FOR TUESDAY
Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.
FOR WEDNESDAY
A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
It’s with loved ones you belong.
FOR THURSDAY
Perhaps they are not
Stars in the sky,
But rather openings
Where our loved ones shine down
To let us know they are happy.
FOR FRIDAY
The Watcher
They always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked them tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because they waited there.
Their thoughts were all so full of us,
They never could forget,
And so I think that where they are
They must be watching yet.
Waiting ‘til we come home to them
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.
FOR SATURDAY
As We Look Back
As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.
FOR SUNDAY
To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me
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 I have had so many years
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone
So grieve a while 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 the memoriss in your heart
I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not 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 a
"Welcome Home"

When Great Trees Fall
(Maya Angelou)
When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.

Beautiful memories are wonderful things,
They last through the longest day
They never wear out, they never get lost,
And can never be taken away.

TRIBUTE FOR 19-11-09
♥*•♥ One Gift♥*•♥
One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 20-11-09
The pain we feel inside today
Is the pain we try to hide,
For no one will ever know
The tears i cry inside.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It seems like only yesterday
The wound is still so sore.
For every hour of every day
We miss you more and more
For you are someone special
And think the world of you.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 21-11-09
Missing You
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it
The sun still sets and rises.
The moon and stars still shine.
The flowers still bloom,
The birds still sing.
I expected a change in everything...
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
It still gets dark and light.
The ocean still has waves,
The rain still rains,
The wind still blows.
Is it because they do not know?
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
I thought the world would stop,
When in the house I found
An empty chair,
A missing smile.
I thought it would stop
For just a while.
I just can't believe it....
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 22-11-09
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
You gave us love
And lots more,
We have so much
To thank you for,
Silent thoughts,
Memories deep,
Locked in our hearts
For ever to keep.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I wish you all a very peaceful weekend my friend
With love as always Linda.xxx
