Words of Inspiration
"Have faith in your dreams and someday
your rainbow will come smiling through.
No matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true."
In the summer sun and fields of brightness,
we will remember.
In the autumn haze and blazes of color,
we will remember.
In the winter chill and blankets of whiteness,
we will remember.
And in the warmth of spring and bursts of new life,
we will remember.
FORGOTTEN? - NEVER!
There is only one beautiful child in the world
And every mother has it.
Death- the last sleep? No, it is the final awakening.
God's finger touched him, and he slept.
A part of you has grown in me,
together forever we shall never part
maybe in distance,
but not in the heart.
I've learned that love will break your heart,
but it's worth it.
A mother understands what a child does not say.
A child is a bit of Heaven
blown away from the hand of God
You are better off to obey God and to suffer for doing right than to suffer for doing wrong.
Be aware of the beauty of your child
who leaves your side soon after you have met
This loss removes the touch, but not the memories
This silence is not an ending, but a voice of comfort and peace
Remember your child like a flower to a garden
Enjoy it's beauty while it lasts
Then let the memory linger in your heart
If you treat your child as one is,
Your child will remain as one is.
But if you treat your child,
As if one were who one could be,
One will become who one should be.
"I am only one, But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."
BELIEF
"I mourn for the child that might have been, but I delight in the child that is"
If you want happiness for an hour - take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day - go fishing.
If you want happiness for a month -get married.
If you want happiness for a year - inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime - help someone else.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door
that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness.
But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
To mourn too long
for those we love
is self-indulgent-
but to honour their memory
with a promise to live a little better
for having known them,
gives purpose to their life -
and some reason for their death...
On a church board sign
~ The Importance of Love ~
The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them; there ought to be as many for love.
~ Doing Right ~
Always do right. This will surprise some people and astonish the rest.
Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow has not yet come.
We have only today.
Let us begin.
Delight in each child as if she were your first, cherish each child as if she were your last."

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.
KINDNESS
When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long.
Take the reason of the thing into your mind, and
then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom.
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in
your power.
To be trusted is a greater compliment
than to be loved.
In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another
human being. We should all be thankful for those people who
rekindle the inner spirit.
When flowers are full of heaven-descended dews,
they always hang their heads; but men hold theirs
the higher the more they receive, getting proud as
they get full.
It is said a person can live
without food for 50 days,
without water for 5 days,
without air for 5 minutes,
without hope for less than 5 seconds.
The aim of life is to live,
and to live means to be awake,
joyously, drunkenly, serenely divinely awake.
"The Heart of the Matter"
Advice is like snow - the softer it falls,
the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper
it sinks into the mind.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
