Mommy misses you sweet baby
They say that life is fleeting,I know that this is true.I left this world so quickly, With no goodbye to you. I know how much you miss me, Your tears fall ever light. The pillow where you lay your head, Is wet with them at night. I know your heart is hurting, The words we left, unsaid. I love you's left unspoken Are spinning in your head.The strength that I have carried, That served to make you whole. Remains to make you stronger, Within your grieving soul. For you see, while you were weeping On the day I passed away, At the gravesite near the flowers Where my loved ones knelt to pray. An angel came to see me, She took me by the hand, She led me to a kingdom In a very distant land. As I look down from the heaven, And see you standing there Your heart so ever burdened With more weight than it can bear. I long to bring you comfort, I long to give you peace, I long to hold you closely, Cause all your tears to cease. The joy I've found in heaven Goes far beyond compare. The love that's so elusive, Can be found here everywhere. The light is softly shining. There's no storm clouds here or rain. There's no tear drops found in heaven. There's no suffering, there's no pain. You needn't be so troubled, Stay close to God and pray That someday we'll be together, One bright and glorious day. So my love, you shouldn't question My dear you need not cry I've gone to be with Jesus I really didn't die.
January Williams lit a candle in memory of Denver Gatlin
I remember Deziary & Jacob’s smiles as they looked at Denver. How proud they looked.
I have the memory of Jaxtin being so excited, telling me he has a new baby brother.
I have the memory of Bristle-Lynn patting Denver with her tiny hand trying to comfort him as Mom was feeding him.
Oakland will forever be missing a part of herself as twins tend to have strong bonds, but as a family we will share with her these fond memories photos and stories and celebrate the tiny little life that was taken so soon. Let’s celebrate his life through her.
If we could see Denver today what would he say
He would tell his Mommy and daddy that he visit you everyday.
The breeze you feel on your face is a kiss on your cheek,
The birds you hear sing is Denver whispering in your ears he is still your little man.
So please don’t be sad for him, he has lots of family up here.
His big brother Rylan took him by the hand and introduced him to the big man.
He said to tell he loves you both but now it time to go play with his big brother who needed him the most.
