It was one year ago today that I lost my sweet, sweet Sonja. It's been a rocky month. Her birthday was Dec. 20, then Christmas and New Years, and now today.
As heart broken as I am, I found myself smiling a bit this morning, thinking that she must be dancing and celebrating her new birthday in a body that knows no limits. She must have sent that thought to me, because it sure hasn't been on my mind.
I booked a relaxation massage, and it was the perfect thing to do.
Wow, a whole year.....

{{{Marcia}}} I bet she did send you those happy thoughts so you would not be sad.
A little poem for you.

If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Sonja's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart
that will never go away.

Kathy, that was beautiful! Thank you! I'm going to copy it for her scrapbook. Did you write it???

Maria, I'm glad your smiling and know that Sonja is looking down on you today, tomorrow and always.
Kathy that was a wonderful poem.

You are welcome, I didn't write it, it was one I found that I am using for my moms upcoming 70th birthday to put in the paper. I really like it.
And glad you did to.
After losing 2 important people in my life in a 8 month time frame { my DSS and my Mom} I am always looking for poems.

Marcia, (((HUGS)) to you. It seems that the first "anniversary" of a loved one passing is the worst. However, that is a wonderful visual of her in a perfect body. I also believe that it WAS from her. I think that those on the other side wish that we could know how happy they are.

God bless.
