Just Those Few Weeks
by Susan Erlin
For those few weeks-
I had you to myself.
And that seems too short of time
To be changed so profoundly.
In those few weeks-
I came to know you…
And to love you.
You came to trust me with your life.
Oh, what a life I had planned for you!
Just those few weeks-
When I lost you,
I lost a lifetime of hopes,plans, dreams, and aspirations…
A slice of my future simply vanished overnight.
Just those few weeks-
It wasn’t enough time to convince others
How special and important you were.
How odd, a truly unique person has recently died
And no one is mourning the passing.
Just a mere few weeks-
And no “normal” person would cry all night
Over a tiny, unfinished baby,
Or get depressed and withdraw day after endless day.
No one would, so why am I?
You were just those few weeks my little one
You darted in and out of my life too quickly.
But it seems that’s all the time you needed
To make my life so much richer-
And give me a small glimpse of eternity.
I wish we could have had more time so I could of got to know you, my beautiful grand baby Glenna. I love you and will always keep you in my heart until God willing, we will meet in heaven. Love Always, Your Grandpa Glenn Downing
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you right now. May peace be with you during this difficult time.
The day Kamaree was born
The day Kamaree was born is a day I will always cherish in my heart. Leah told the doctor that she was going to be born by 6:30pm and Kamaree was actually born at 6:27pm. She had a head full of hair and was so tiny, weighing only 5lbs 10oz. Once she was born family came to see her, I remember Aunt Hallie fed her, her first bottle and she only drank maybe a half of ounce. She loved to be snuggled in her blanket and held real close to you. I remember holding my grandbaby for the first time and thinking oh how much you have to learn, and you have 3 sisters and 2 brothers who are going to show you the ropes. She was so beautiful with her head full of hair and big eyes with a tiny little cry. That was a day I will never forget and will hold in my heart forever.
i love you baby i mis you very much if you dont remeber me im anas best freind love ya soooooooo much dont ever forget me
