HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY BIG MAN  WE MISS YOU!  HOPE YOU GOT THE BALLOONS WE SENT UP!!


"We love you so much Tyshawn and we are missing you so.  We know you are with Grandpa and have a lot of friends to play with and that one day we will get to play again too.  I'm so sorry our time was so short and I wish I knew how to ease this pain.  But my pain reminds me of the love and bond we have.  I thank God that I had the honor of being your mother.  I love you baby!!"  My baby boy touched so many hearts and he continues to do so!!  Tyshawn was given to us on November 28, 2003 and returned to heaven on March 4, 2006.  Each day, I miss him more and more, but each day I continue on and I believe he lives on through his little brother, he has picked up a few things that only Tyshawn would have done!!  Thank you to everyone who has stopped and visited my precious baby and lit a candle or left kind words or pictures, it means a lot!!  REMEBER, TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED, SO CHERISH EVERY MOMENT YOU HAVE TODAY!!

A heart of gold stopped beating,
two shining eyes at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.
God knows you had to leave us,
but you did not go alone-
for part of us went with you,
the day He took you home.
To some you are forgotten,
to others just part of the past,
but to those of us who loved and lost you,
the memory will always last



A Mothers Tribute
written by Tyshawns Mama
I miss your smile
I miss your eyes
I miss your little by byes

I miss your hugs
I miss your kisses
I even miss your little fits

I miss your little hands
Your precious fingers

Your chubby little tummy

And your edible little feeties

I miss your walk and the way you ran

I miss your laugh

I miss your cry

I miss you playing while I’m near by

I’ve asked myself why
But I have no reply

I miss your sweet voice

And your sweet, gentle ways

I swear I can’t get out of this daze

I miss hearing

“I’m the man”

I miss hearing you say “mom, guess what,”
And I would say “what?”

“I love you” was your response
I cherished every moment we spent

And I cherish them more every day

You were a ray of sunshine in so many lives

And so many people are grieving for you

But, I know now that you are safe

And in a much better place

I know one man is glad to have you

And I know that grandpa was there to meet you

And I know that you will always be with us

I know you will never be gone
I know that I’ll miss you and I’ll try to hold on
I know it will be all right
How do I know?
How can I be sure?

Because your sister told me so

That you are safe and sound

And in a world

Where nothing can bring you down
I love you my little man and you will always be with me, always be apart of me, and I will see you again

Love, MaMa

Daddy please don't look so sad,
Momma please don't cry.
Cause I'm in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.
Please, try not to question God,
don't think He is unkind.
Don't think He sent me to you,
and then He changed His mind
You see, I am a special child,
and I'm needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you,
and watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star thats gleaming,
that's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost,
that mists your window pane.
That's me, in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze,
from a gentle wind that blows,
That's me, I'll be there,
planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing
and your heart feels a tug,
That's me, I'll be there,
giving your heart a hug.
So daddy, please don't look so sad,
and Momma don't you cry,
I'm in the arms of Jesus,
and He sings me lullabies





My Mom is a Survivor

My Mom is a survivor,
or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying at night
when all others are in bed.

I watch her lay awake at night
and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her
to help her understand.

But like the sands on the beach
that never wash away . . .
I watch over my surviving mom,
who thinks of me each day.

She wears a smile for others . . .
a smile of disguise!
But through Heaven's door I see
tears flowing from her eyes.

My mom tries to cope with death
to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows
it is her way to survive.

As I watch over my surviving mom
through Heaven's open door . . .
I try to tell her that angels
protect me forevermore.

I know that doesn't help her . . .
or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her . . .
and show her that you care.

For no matter what she says . . .
no matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart
that time won't ever heal




God never promised
A life without pain,
Laughter without tears
Or sun without rain.
But He did promise
Strength for the day,
Comfort for the tears
And light for the way,
And for all who believe
In His Heaven above
He rewards their faith
In His everlasting love.

If tomorrow starts without me



If tomorrow starts without me,

And I’m not there to see.

If the sun should rise, and find your eyes,

Are filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,

The way you did today.

While thinking of the many things, we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you loved me,

As much as I love you.

And every time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,

I hope you’ll understand,

An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.

She said my place was ready, in heaven up above,

And that I’d have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.

I had so much to live for, so much that I should do,

It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.

I wish I could have said goodbye,

And kissed and seen you smile,

I wish I could have stayed with you even for a little while.

But then I had to realise, that this could never be,

Now emptiness, not memories,

Would take the place of me.

But when I walked through heavens gates,

I felt so much at home,

And then the lord looked down on me, from his golden throne.

He said, “this is for eternity, but I will promise you,

Although your life on earth has passed, here life starts anew”

“I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,

And since each days the same up here,

There’s no longing for the past”

My loved ones, please don’t grieve for me,

Coz I am truly free,

And I will wait for you to come and share my life with me.

So when tomorrow starts without me,

Don’t think we’re far apart,

For every time you think of me,

I’m right here in your heart
