As I just updated the website 2 days ago I just wanted to share a poem that I read on another website of a beautiful little girl who was taken by this dreaded "monster". I thought it was touching and would like to pass it along to all the other mothers suffering the loss of a child on Mother's day:

Dear Mr. Hallmark

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear

A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.

I just popped in to visit your stores to find a card,

A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is so hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, every card you can imagine, Except I could not find a card

from a child who lives in heaven.

She is still my mother, too, no matter where I reside. I had to leave she understands, but oh the tears she cried. I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know

That though I live in Heaven now, I still love my mother so.

She talks with me, and dreams with me, we still share laughter, too. Memories are our way of speaking now.

Would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight. She writes me poems to honor me,

sometimes far into the night.

She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells. She writes to other grieving parents,

Trying to ease their pain as well.

She needs to be honored, and remembered too.

Just as the children of earth will do. Thank you, Mr Hallmark,

I know you'll do your best, I have done all I can do. To you I'll leave the rest.

Find a way to tell her how much she means to me

Until I can do it for myself when she joins me for eternity.
