Not broken but whole

God, you sent me for them to be...
with all that there was, for me to see.

A family for me, that could take care...
with the many things they had to bear.

this family you have completely entrusted
for Your plan would never be maladjusted

The love, so much love, for me have they...
to share it and honor each blessed day.

You gave up so much for me these past years...
Helping me through ones biggest of fears.

Knowing that my time is full but short...
they'll need all the love, hope and support.

Its not easy to let go of one so soon...
For sadness and sorrow, they are not immune.

This is why God has chosen you for me...
to be amazing parents for all those to see.

Its much easier here, I have to say
no more pain or sickness...I can play all day.

I know it is hard, these days seem so bleak...
God chose you for this knowing you are not weak.

So thank you, oh thank you for being the best
You loved me enough to see I needed a rest.

Please know that I will always love you...
I will be waiting in Heaven with wings I just grew.

You love me so dearly, body and soul...
I am with God now...not broken, but whole.

This is for my dear friend, whom lost their little boy (Kenny's age), Zach to Mitochondrial Disease this morning. He spent all of his (almost 4 years) fighting this disease. He was in the hospital more than he was at home. My heart is breaking for this amazing family. They have been through what most people couldn't and yet, their faith is stronger than ever.
She has always been there for me through everything I have been though with Kenny. She has encouraged me to go to the next step with whatever I had to do for Kenny. Has always been there when I was feeling down about Nick...and I love her with all my heart and soul. God bless the Moody family.

I visited you today...

I visit you today...

it was a quiet visit

I was the only one talking.

I needed you to hear me.

There was a lot to tell you, to get off my chest.
I told you that I was mad at you for leaving me.
I told you I wish you were here.
I told you that I missed you.


I was praying that you were happy,
That you were in a better place.
just not gone forever,
but where we'd meet again.


The seasons are changing again...
the leaves are starting to fall,
the nights are getting cooler.
But you already know that.


I told you about the family...
how we struggle day to day with things,
but try to look at the good in everything...
but you already know that too.


As each day passes by
some may not understand
The empty feeling inside
worse than anything that could be felt.


The feeling never completely leaves
especially when special days arrive
special days like, the seven days of the week
or the seasons as they change.


I miss holding you
I missed out on seeing who you'd be
I missed you being part of our life,
I missed what little time we had, you and me


I talked about the disappointments that have happened
Talked about the milestones that were reached.
talked about the dreams of the future...
oh how I wish you were in them.


I changed that day that you left
I know I couldn't stop you.
It was the hardest thing to do
But I know you already know that.


These visits are not long enough
as I clean your stone and decorate
I look around at all the others
and think I'm not the only one.


Not the only one to cry a good cry,
Not the only one to miss out.
but I still couldn't hold you
still couldn't touch you...


but you already knew that too.

~written and dedicated to Nick, with love my me~
