"They say that time in Heaven is compared to the "blink of an eye" for us on this earth. Sometimes it helps me to think of my son running ahead of me through a beautiful field of wildflowers and butterflies. So happy and completely caught up in what he is doing, that by the time he turns around to see if I'm behind him...I will be."

In one of the stars
I shall be living
In one of them
I shall be laughing
And so it will be
as if all the stars were laughing
when you look
At the sky at night. 
The Little Prince

The most beautiful stones have been tossed by the wind and washed by the waters and polished to brilliance by life's strongest storms.

Courage
Doesn't always roar.

Sometimes courage is
the quiet voice
at the end of the day
saying,

"I will try again
tomorrow."

Perhaps
they are not
stars in the sky,
but rather
openings
where our
loved ones
shine down to
let us know
they are happy.

SMA is so limited...
It cannot cripple Love
It cannot suppress Memories
It cannot silence Courage
It cannot invade the Soul
It cannot steal eternal Life
It cannot conquer the Spirit

Divider Bar

Hold on to what is good
even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe
even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do
even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life
even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand
even when I have gone away from you.
Native American Prayer

Divider Bar

Sorrow comes in great waves...
but it rolls over us,
and though it can almost smother us,
it leaves us.
And we know that if it is strong,
we are stronger,
inasmuch as it passes-and we remain.
Henry James

Divider Bar

Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes.  Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or we grow weak, and at last some crisis shows us what we have become.
Bishop Westcott

Divider Bar

I dropped a tear in the ocean.
When they find it;
that's when I'll stop remembering you.
