One day we'll disappear together in a dream

However short or long our lives are going to be

I will live in you or you will live in me

Until we disappear together in a dream

Message from Cyndie

Today I lost the love of my life ... words cannot express the way I feel ... my heart is shattered into a million pieces. Thank you to all my wonderful friends that have offered love and support in this time of need ... to all who have called and stopped by ... thank you so much. I'm sure Damien is so happy to know that I am surrounded by such wonderful people.

Oh Cyndie, I am SO SO SO sorry for your loss... I am mourning with you. I can't believe I'll never get to see him again. Please know that we are here for you and Colin!

All our love,

I never met you or your husband. I learned of your loss on babycenter. I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband. I wish you many peaceful and gentle moments as you travel this road of grief! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I hope you don't mind if I share a poem or two with you.
Grief is Like a River

My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine,
Just where the banks will go.

Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again.

I crash on rocks of anger
My faith seems faint indeed
But there are other swimmers
Who know just what I need

And loving hands to hold me
When the waters are too swift
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift

Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past
By swimming in Hope's channels
I'll reach the shore at last

THE CHAIN

WE LITTLE KNEW THAT MORNING
THAT GOD WAS GOING TO CALL YOUR NAME
IN LIFE WE LOVED YOU DEARLY
IN DEATH WE DO THE SAME

IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU
YOU DID NOT GO ALONE
FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU
THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME

YOU LEFT US PEACEFUL MEMORIES
YOUR LOVE IS STILL OUR GUIDE
AND THOUGH WE CANNOT SEE YOU
YOU ARE ALWAYS AT OUR SIDE

OUR FAMILY CHAIN IS BROKEN
AND NOTHING SEEMS THE SAME
BUT AS GOD CALLS US ONE BY ONE
THE CHAIN WILL LINK AGAIN

Again, I am so very sorry for your loss!
