32 years ago December 4th you were laid in my arms.
It doesn't seem like so many years could have by
passed by.It hardly seems possible you have been
in heaven for 14 years.I have to remind myself to
many times that your no longer here. You left us
with so many very special precious memories. I
know how very blessed and lucky we were to have
had you in our lives even if it was for a very
short time. We were all cheated out of so much.
But somehow we have to find a way to only think
of the good times we shared, and the precious
memories we hold dear to our hearts. You will
always be the wind beneath my wings Son.
We will miss you forever and one day
We will never ever stop loving you.
Joshua loved Christmas so did I.
One of our favorite things was decorating the tree.
We always did that on Decenber 4th that was the Day our Josh was
adopted. It was our way of celebrating his adoption. We would
decorate the tree. His daddy held him up to put the star on the
top of the tree. We still continue that tradition today.
Only now we have a special stained glass star made in memory of
Josh.Every year from the year He was born we bought him an
ornament for the tree those are what we still hang on the tree
today plus countless angels given to us by his friends since
Joshua was called home to live in heaven.That is why when I
read this peom I knew it was one I wanted to share here.
HAVE YOU DECORATED YOUR TREE?
My tree is clothed in dark and light
And I sit before it in the night
Remembering how, with loving care,
A child once hung those trinkets there
And though the tree seems fully dressed
Alone, I now must hang the rest
Then the tree with greater love will shine
With memories of that son of mine.
I hang the sparkle from his eyes
That shone each day with sweet surprise,
I hang a gentle heart-shaped kiss
And a glowing ball of childlike bliss.
I hang a bow of loving charms,
And a hug he once held in his arms
Now every light will hold a part
Of all the memories in my heart
For though my grief will never sleep
His heart would break, and he would weep
If we never again felt the Christmas Joy
That was so much a part of my angel boy.

IN OUR THOUGHTS OUR PRECIOUS SON
On Christmas Day, dear son, it�s
true
Our heart�s are still aching,
longing, dear, for you.
We had the dearest son in all the
world we know,
He�ll always be within our
thoughts because we loved him so.
To see him was to love him And
love him, but forever,
For God did make him,special to us
And never made such another.
My Christmas List
All I Want Is You
I'll tell it rather simply;
I'll say it plain and true-
A single thing is all I want
And all I want is you.
There are no other riches,
No treasures or possessions
That ever could compare with you,
My fondest of obsessions.
You are the very air I breathe,
The ration that sustains me.
You're all my thoughts tied up as one,
The laugh that entertains me.
You're all that life need ever give,
The maximum that's due.
If I could ask for anything,
I'd only ask for you.
Address In The Stars
I stumbled across your picture today
I could barely breath
The moment stopped me cold,
Grabbed me like a thief.
I dialed your number, but you wouldn't be there
I knew the whole time, but it's still not fair
I just wanted to hear your voice,
I just needed to hear your voice.
What do I do with all I need to say
So much I wanna tell you everyday
Oh it breaks my heart,
I cry these tears in the dark
I write these letters to you,
But they get lost in the blue,
'Cause there's no address in the stars.
Now I'm drivin'
Through the pitch black dark
I'm screaming at the sky
Oh cause it hurts so bad
Everybody tells me
Oh all I need is time
Then the mornin' rolls in
And it hits me again
And that aint nothin' but a lie.
What do I do with all I need to say
So much I wanna tell you everday
Oh it breaks my heart,
I cry these tears in the dark
I write these letters to you,
But they get lost in the blue,
'Cause there's no address in the stars.
Without you here with me,
I don't know what to do.
I'd give anything
Just to talk to you
Oh it breaks my heart,
Oh it breaks my heart,
But all I can do
Is write these letters to you,
But there's no address in the stars.
