In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

Here's a poem I found on www.sweetmemoriessite.com  . It fits the way I feel perfectly. Here's some other good ones:

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!

May the winds of love blow softly
And whisper so you'll hear,
We will always love and miss you
And wish that you were here.

I have not turned my back on you

So there’s no need to cry.

I’m watching you from Heaven,

Just beyond the morning sky.

I’ve seen you almost fall apart,

When you could barely stand.

I asked the Lord to comfort you,

And watched him take your hand.

He told me you were in more pain

Than I could ever be.

He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,

Then gave your hand to me.

Although you may not feel my touch,

Or see me by your side,

I’ve whispered that I loved you,

While I wiped each tear you’ve cried.

So please try not to ache for me,

We’ll meet again one day.

Beyond the dark and stormy sky,

A rainbow lights the way.

Isn't this cool. For some reason it makes me think of Stephen. He would have loved this picture. I've never seen this combonation before, the ocean and a tiger. It's just neat.

Hi there,

     I haven't posted here for a while. That's good in a way, because I haven't been as miserable as usual. Of course, I wish Stephen was here, but it hasn't been the only thing I can think of lately. It's been almost 9 months now since he's been gone. I guess I'm getting over the initial shock.

     I've been reading my Sylvia Browne book, and that helps too. She makes the dead seem so 'still around', you know what I mean? I feel like Stephen's the lucky one and he's always with me. That's a relief and it makes me feel better.

     According to Sylvia, a proven physic, our stay on earth is just the blink of an eye. We plan everything, including our death, before we're even born. Our short trip to earth is just to learn a few spiritual lessons and then we go back HOME. And we're all back together in the blink of an eye. Her book is called 'Sylvia Browne Phenomenon'.

Please don't think I'm crazy or weird. It's just that I've seen her in action and she sure seems to know alot of things that are impossible to know. She has helped police solve crimes. She's proven that she's for real.

Anyway, it's helping, that's the main thing.
