~~~SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW, BLUEBIRDS FLY...
Jordan MichaeL, my precious little boy, was born June 17th, 2006, spent almost 8 months with us
here, then went back to be with the Lord February 3rd, 2007. There are no words to express my grief,
pain and loss. I long for the day when I can hold him again. However, there are also no words to
convey the joy, pride, total adoration and utter awe I FOUND AND HAVE just for knowing him...
Please take a look at his photo gallery~~~~~It makes a mommy happy to be able to show off her little
boy. Especially as gorgeous as my little man is!

~~~A MOTHER'S PRAYER by CheryL~~~THANK YOU TO OUR FATHER, JESUS CHRIST, FOR THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
THAT WAS MADE, NOT ONLY FOR OURSELVES, BUT (MORE IMPORTANTLY, MOST OF US THINK,)FOR THE PEACE IT
GIVES US PARENTS HERE THAT ALTHOUGH OUR BABIES ARE NOT ON THIS EARTH NOW, THEY ARE, IN FACT, WITH
GOD IN HEAVEN, THAT THEY ARE IN THE BEST CARE EVER~WITH THE ULTIMATE BABYSITTERS!!! THEY ARE NOT
DEAD THANKS TO GOD! AMEN.
A GENUINE THANKS 2 ALL WHO have sent your kindness my way. It has helped me so much already! I
wonder if you really understand how much, and perhaps, you guys on here are the only ones who truly
do. Thank you. God BLess!

A POEM BY 1 OF HIS FAVORITE COUSINS~~Miss Katie Adkins/Daughter of Jordie's favorite and fun
aunt~~Aunt Lisa, who had his first ever portait made, and turned out soooo charming....HAHAHA! Miss
Katie won a prestigious award for poetry, 1st place, and will be published in a children's book!!!
I REMEMBER
The baby boy
Babysitting on the weekends
His first toy
How he liked to play with my hair
His cute little grin.
I REMEMBER
Smiling
How he sat like Buddha
The time we spent learning to crawl
The joy of holding an infant
Beautiful boy
I REMEMBER
The last weekend with him
The pictures taken of him only weeks before
The horrible call
My mom rushing off to the hospital
The never-ending wait for some news
I REMEMBER
The funeral
Sad faces
Beautiful flowers draped in sorrow
The murmur of hushed crying and the feeling of grief
Mourning
I REMEMBER
The visit to his mother
How she felt sorry for putting us through pain
Her feeling of blame toward herself
My father's comforting hug
Our feeling of closure
I REMEMBER...MY BABY COUSIN JORDAN.
***THANK YOU KATIE, SO VERY MUCH. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL BEYOND WORDS. THANK YOU AND I KNOW YOU'LL NEVER
FORGET JORDIE.
JORDAN REMEMBERS AND LOVES HIS COUSIN MISS KANDACE VERY MUCH, TOO!!!
And to my Uncle Randy...I don't have to "wind up" anymore! HAHAHAHA

A Birthday In Heaven - Author Unknown
I heard you crying yesterday,
And felt your heart-sent love.
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.
You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My birthday (way up here).
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.
God planned a special day for me,
He told me with a wink.
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think).
Balloons will fill the streets for me,
They float up through the clouds.
And we have lots of friends up here
That make us laugh out loud.
There is a birthday carousel,
Jewelled horses ride the wind,
With music playing, oh so sweet…
The magic never ends.
I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing.
We ride our bikes and play the fool
And sleep in Angel’s wings.
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies.
With love from your little Angel xxx
EASTER SUNDAY
♥ WITH LOVE AT EASTER. ♥

This Tribute Is For This Weekend
Candles Will Be Lit Again As Usual On Sunday For Monday
Message from Heaven
I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
I still share your hopes
And all of your cares
I'll even remind you
To please say your prayers
I just want to tell you
You still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
Above the crowd
Keep trying each moment
To stay in his grace
I came here before you
To help set your place
You don't have to be
Perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue to climb
To my family and friends
Please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way
As I am now beside Jesus
In the heaven’s above
Please take care of each other
I send you my love
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.
Memories and little prayers,
We all are mourning you,
But we’ll celebrate the short life you led;
We will never forget you.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
We love you so, I love you so,
But now we say goodbye.
Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears, just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
We know you did your best.
It was your time, so as we cry,
Go forward that extra mile,
You did what you were sent to do,
You made everybody smile.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
“The Best”
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And He whispered “Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.
It’s lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
Since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”
Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
We’ll meet again someday!”
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
The moment that you died
Our hearts were torn in two,
One side filled with memories,
The other died with you.
We often lie awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon our cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it everyday,
But missing you is heartache
That never goes away.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
We miss you in so many ways,
We miss the things you used to say,
And when old times we do recall,
It’s then we miss you most of all.
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever in my heart
Love always your very special angel xxxx
Please help the pain stop,,,,,
Pain stuffed inside of me,Can't let anyone near me,Can't let anyone see the real me,Can't let anyone even hug me,All this pain that's held in me,Why can't anyone see the real me,Why can't anyone help me,Why can't someone just hold me,All this pain that's eating me,Can't let go of the pain in me,Can't get this pain from me,Can't get this pain out of me
When will the pain stop hurting me,Why can't I just feel me,Why can't I just be me
Why can't someone take this pain from me
From Jordan to Aunt Lisa
Dear Aunt Lisa,
I never got the chance to tell you how much I love you, nor to tell you how much I appreciate everything you did and all the sacrifices you made for me. So, I’m sending you this note down from Heaven with all my love.
I have been telling all my friends about you and how much I love my Aunt Lisa. I tell them about how happy I was when I got to go to Aunt Lisa and UncLe Randy’s house. You always had the coolest toys for me! Which always made me feel like a special little boy. I always looked forward to going to your house, and playing with Katie and Kandace was always so much fun. I especially liked all the lights at your house at Christmas. My very favorite was that fiber-optic trinket of yours. I wanted to talk to you and tell you then how beautiful it was, how it excited me, and I tried to tell you, but it just came out as gibberish.
I probably owe you an apology, too. I am sorry about how my “glamour shot” turned out. I was trying to smile, but my belly was hurting. But thanks for taking mommy and me out to get my first picture made.
I loved it when you gave me my bottle, because it was always so warm, comfy and cozy in your arms. My very favorite was on your chest. You knew how to rock me just right, and you’d tap me on my butt while you rocked me. I loved looking into your pretty eyes during my bottle…I may have been young, but I saw a wisdom and love in your eyes. Although we never spoke, we communicated without even a word. Aunt Lisa, you couldn’t have done any more for me.
I can’t wait until you get here with me, Granny GaiL…all of us!!! I can’t wait to play with Katie and Kandace again, either. When I first got here and was meeting all the family, I heard Granny GaiL telling great-great grandma Margaret that she could identify me as hers without even looking at my face: all she had to do was look at my big toe! HaHa! She tells me stories all the time. She explained to me that our big toes were a sign of intelligence, and of course she reminds me that I got mine from her, maybe even more than you and mommy got! Then she always laughs really big and hugs me. Soon she’s going to tell me new stories about these little blue men that clean the Earth every night, and something about coconuts. I have fun with Matthew, Melissa, and your brothers and sisters you’ve never met, but will. We’re all here, together and happy, but we will be the happiest of all when we are ALL here together.
I’m sorry that I didn’t get to wear one of my plaid outfits you got me at Dollywood. I never want you to be sad. So please take this note from Heaven and keep it close to your heart, where I know you keep me.
I love you
You little buddy,
Jordie
