MY CHILDREN ARE ANGELS

I watched the leaf as it slowly floated 'round & 'round
It came to rest on the stone where they lay beneath the ground.
It was an autumn day with sunshine and clean crisp air,
My heart said they would be here
and I should be resting there.

As I knelt to brush the leaf away I saw a bird beyond the stone,
I rose to my feet and decided to leave the leaf alone,
It was a vivid gold and the bird a pretty blue,
Somehow I thought God had sent both to them

As the flowers I brought were arranged upon your resting place,
A tear so hot and hurting ran down my face,
It landed on a petal and looked like a drop of dew so clear,
I could almost feel their presence and see their faces so dear.

Then I glanced at the sky
and was startled for in a cloud,
The three of you were smiling and looking so pure and proud.
Snow white wings they carried had a light shining all around,
My children were ANGELS!
They weren't in the ground!

My Children’s Soul to Keep

Dear Lord I come to thee my friend,
With a message I must send,
My child has come to thee,
With their souls set free,
And my life has been torn,
Remembering the day they were born,
So please hold my dear children tight,
Keeping them in your guiding light,
And when they ask if mom’s okay,
Please tell them I feel them this day,
And I will join them with love,
Stored in my heart from above,
And when I see them it will flow,
Causing every heart to richly glow,
So within the tears I this day weep,
I ask You now my children’s soul to keep.

Here is a gift for angel Jeremy. Hugs, Judi, Mom to Angel Andrew.

Jeremy with his mother.

My daughter was engaged to be married and on Nov 18th, 1998 her and her boy friend Jeremy Don Long were on their way to work around 9:00am and Jeremy went off the road once hitting the gravel and recovered long enough for my daughter to say lets put on our seat belts and then he went off again hitting a cow gate on the side of the road causing him to fly out the drivers side window and she hit the roof on impact and then the car went air born flipped 3 times and she fell out of her seat belt with the car landing on top of her on its side. Jeremy died of a massive head injury at the scene. He was an organ donor.

This is a beautiful and loving gift for Angel Jeremy from my dear friend, Carol, mom to Angel Michael.

Mandy was taken to St.Mary's hospital and released the next day to be watched as she was pregnant. On the morning of Nov 20th,1998 she lost Baby Long due to the trauma of the accident.

Jimmy with his friend Holly.

On the morning of Feb 14th, 2000 (which also happens to be Jeremy's Birthday) my son George Russell Aaron McIntosh II was out of school that day due to teachers in-service along with his best friend who called me his adopted mom Jimmy Wayne Martin. Jimmy lived with his grandma. Russell asked if he could walk around town and I said yes be back by 2:00pm. I also said don't get in the car with anyone. Why I said that I don't know because I had heard him talking on the phone and knew they had plans, why was today different than any other day? Why would I say that? He was on his way home when a girl named Brandy Waldrop saw him walking maybe 2 blocks from home and Jimmy and his girl friend were already in the car. Russell got in the car and they stopped at the Dollar Store where the boss gave him his old job back, he was just working temporarily before.

The girls bought some cupcakes and a rose for the boys and decided they were going to Fayetteville but changed their minds probably due to the time, it was almost 12:00 noon. So they turned around and headed in the direction on Jimmy's girl friend's house. Brandy said a dog ran into the road and she swerved to miss it hitting the gas instead of the brake and running the car into a tree doing 45 miles an hour. Jimmy was slung out the side door in the backseat as the car was being ripped open and spun around in to the ravine. He did not go out the front window but the side door when it was ripped open. It broke his neck and other limbs. Russell saw what was coming so he held on to Brandy's seat holding her in until the tree ripped the car open like a tuna fish can, he let go before it ripped her out too.

Russell had on his seat belt and it was the kind that was over the door so when the car ripped open it ripped him out to. Russell died from multi-system trauma. Jimmy from a broken neck. They took them straight to the funeral home in the next town.

This is a beautiful and loving gift for Angels Russell and Jimmy from my dear friend, Carol, mom to Angel Michael.

This is one of the last photos of Jimmy and Russell together. Russell is the big kid in the front row, wearing the light blue shirt. Jimmy is the short one behind the girl and next to the other girl and the red-headed boy.

My daughter married and on the morning of Nov 20th, 2003 she lost another baby, this one due to RH-Neg factor exactly 5 years to the day of losing Baby Long she lost Baby Clark.

Here is a gift for Baby Long and Baby Clark.
Hugs, Judi, Mom to Angel Andrew.

MAY GOD BLESS THE FAMILY MY LOVE Sue-Anne/LEE's Mom.

My Angel Son Michael

I am finally on the way home wearing the same shoes that my cousin Wesley wore and my mom Mandy
and my Uncle Russell and my Uncle Zach.

This is a wonderful gift for Angel Russell's birthday from my dear friend, Carol,
and her Angel Michael.

Forever Changed

Can you see the change in me?
It may not be so obvious to you.

I participate in family activities.
I help plan holiday meals.

You tell me you're glad to see that I don't cry anymore.
But I do cry!

When everyone has gone -
when it is safe -
the tears fall.
I cry in privacy so my family won't worry.
I cry until I am exhausted and can finally sleep.

You tell me you admire my strength and my positive attitude.
But I am not strong.

I feel that I have lost control,
and I panic when I think about tomorrow...next week...next year.

I go about the routine of my job.
I complete my assigned tasks.
I drink coffee and smile.

You tell me you're glad to see I'm "over" the death of my child.
But I'm not "over" it.

If I get over it, I will be the same
as before my child died.
I will never be the same.

At times I think I am beginning to heal,
but the pain of loosing someone I loved so much
has left a permanent scar on my heart.

I visit my neighbors.
You tell me you're glad to see I'm holding up so well.
But I'm not holding up well.

Sometimes I want to lock the door
and hide from the world.

I spend time with my friends.
I appear calm and collected.
I smile when appropriate.

You tell me it's good to see me back to my "old self."
But I will never be back to my "old self".

Death and grief have touched my life,
and I am forever changed.

WE WALKED TOGETHER

We walked together, you and I,
A mother and her son.
We had hopes and dreams for tomorrow,
But tomorrow didn't come.
We walked together, you and I,
We talked, we laughed, we loved,
We shared so many happy times
And for that, I thank God above.
We walked together, you and I,
But only for a short time.
For all too soon it ended
Leaving broken hearts behind.
And even though I miss you,
More than words can say,
I thank God that I got to walk with you
Every moment of each day...
~ Author Unknown

My love for you is not written on paper,
For paper can be erased.
Nor is my love for you etched in stone,
For stone can be broken.
But my love for you is inscribed in my heart
Where it shall remain forever.
~ Author Unknown

As I look out the window I see the sky so blue
It is so majestic and regal, a beautiful view
I have three angels who live up above
They are Russell, Jeremy and Jimmy whom I truly love.

With Love For Russell on His Birthday
Loved and Remembered Forever

Dear Patricia and ANGEL Jeremy

Mom, I am your ANGEL
That now lives up above
Mom, I haven't left you
Every day I send you my love

I know you can't see me
And that really hurts you
But I am with you every day
So please don't feel down and blue

One day we will all be together
But you must not keep asking
Just like me, I had done my time
And only GOD knows that
And in HIM you must Believe And Trust

MY LOVE TO YOU PATRICIA

God gave you these ANGEL'S
One Special Day
But for some unknown reason
They were taken away
Jeremy's Birthday
Was on Valentines Day
Russell and Jimmy
Followed that way
For some unknown reason
It was the same day
A Birthday and Anniversary
Why did it happen that way
All Moms and Dads
We all wander why
Why GOD took our ANGEL'S
Why did they die
GOD didn't take them
They are just away for a while
Open your Heart and Look Up
You will see them smile
Those Stars in the Sky
Are their windows they look through
To wave and blow kisses
Especially for you.
MY DEEPEST LOVE
TO PATRICIA AND FAMILY
Sue-Anne~Lee'sMom

Dear Patricia

The sky is clear My ANGEL
Will I be able to see you
Will you still be doing everything
I use to see you do
Yes, Russell's Mom, you will
One of those stars Is my window to my new home
Will I see you all the time there
My ANGEL
Most of the time, Russell's Mom
Unless I am doing GOD'S work
That is when I roam
HAVE FAITH PATRICIA
