Tribute to those I've loved and lost...

December 2008 must have been the worst month I had experience in my life thus far… it was a month filled with tragic loss, and one in which I lost so much of me… On 1 December 2008 I suffered a miscarriage that took from me my only light in a time of deep darkness… and on 7 December 2008 I lost the pillar of my strength… my mom… But I know that they will forever live on in my heart!

This is a tribute to my sweet Baby Boy…

To My Baby B,

News of you came at a time of deep sadness in my life
But you came from love and brought back the light

From the day I knew you were there, I was filled with joy and pride And as you began to grow, it stirred up emotions deep inside…

I clearly remember our time together, just you and I
Sadly no one else would know you,
Because you left too soon, to take up your place in the sky

I had just started feeling your flutters, when you were taken away
And for all the dreams and hopes I had, I so wish you could stay

Just like your dad, you loved the water
I would sit in a bath and feel your strong kicks
And imagine one day, they’d be breaking some bricks

I would play you soft music, and feel calmness come over us
And read you short stories, because your dad said that I must

As I remember you today, I feel like I’ve just existed
And now it’s been a whole year
And I don’t know how I’ve survived, without you being here…

They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason, can change the way I feel,

I know for each of us, God has a plan
And I will no longer question the reasons you had to go
But smile with the comfort, that I know
From the skies above, my beautiful Angel looks down on us…

In Loving Memory of Baby B… taken from us on 1 December 2008



This tribute is for my loving, strong, courageous Mother…

I pay tribute to my Mother
For all that she has done
To make this life for me, a happier one…

For always showing her love,
through kind and quiet deeds
For always fulfilling all our family’s needs…

For her guidance and her sympathy
Her Laughter and her tears,
Her unfaltering patience and
All her Help through all our years…

For all her devoted and wonderful ways,
I give to my Mother,
A tribute of Love… with Respect, Gratitude and Praise!
