Michael Patrick Brandle

I'm sitting here in my thoughts alone

Still not believing you're really gone

I listen, hoping to hear some sound from you

It hurts so bad in missing you

My thoughts reach back to happier times

Only grief steps in and changes the thoughts in my mind

I realize the way it was, will never be

Yet I sit here still hoping it to be

Sleep doesn't come easy anymore

I pray and hope to see you come through the door or the phone rings***************

When I do sleep, I pray I'll dream of you

Yet in my dreams I seldom do

I know in time once again we'll be together

Living in happiness in heaven forever

Until that time I'll continue missing you

Goodnight my darling, I love you

 Love Mommy

Never A Day

Never a day passes by that I don’t think of you

Never a day passes that I don’t say I love you

I cannot truthfully say I’m doing fine

Not now, but maybe later with time

Missing you aches my hears so terribly bad

Not having you makes me oh so sad

Many times I wish u were still here

Many times I catch myself calling for you

The what if’s, if I had only or if I had done this

We all have that what if list

I know within my heart it had to be

It’s just so hard for a parent to see

We want our children to outlive us

Not for them to die before us

My life must and will go on

Only my hurt and sorrow will also come along

My darling child I shall forever miss you

And forever and ever will I love you

We Mike you birthday is over, But i do know one thing for sure the Love will never end. We all love you so very much,and I know you send your love here everyday. It was your 1st birthday in heaven and i bet it was a very special one your will always stay young in heaven and never have any pain there.  I know you are Happy there. I will always know your at peace, but I also know I will never stop Missing you and always love you so so very much. Till we meet in heaven . You r my angel in Heaven****************************************  See U later

       Love Mommy                   

Birthdays

How special birthdays are to be

Especially for our children,so grand to see

Watching the opening of gifts

Playing games,cutting of the cake, laughter and songs

Only today all this cannnot be

Death has taken our child you see

The wonderful feeling forever gone away

It's much harder to celebrate our childs birthday

We love our child just as much as before

Just seems harder after he entered heavens door

We honor him the best we can

For others it's hard to understand

Our childs birthday is still very special

Only in a more privately way

We honor his birth just as before

Just a little more personal than before
