Happy 27th Birthday

Happy Birthday Davey. I can't believe you are 27 years old! Some people say that you "would" have been 27 but you "are" 27, just in Heaven. Your birthday never changes and just because I can't see you doesn't mean you are not a year older. I know that God prepares a beautiful place for us there in Heaven for our birthdays. As a child growing up, I remember when someone had a birthday at church we always said this poem to them: "Many happy returns on the day of thy birth, may sunshine and gladness be given. And may thee dear Father prepare you on earth for a beautiful birthday in Heaven". Back then the words meant nothing to me. Now it has a whole new meaning. I visualize you celebrating your birthday with God and what a glorious celebration that must be.
Dad and I went to Rose Hills as always to celebrate your birthday. Autumn and Raegan spent the whole day with us too. Autumn had to explain to Raegan now that she is 3, where we were and what we were doing. She told her that it was Uncle Davey's birthday and we were going to celebrate it. Raegan asked where Uncle Davey was and Autumn reminder her that you were in Heaven with the angels. Raegan's response: Is he playing baseball there??? I am sure that Autumn told her that you were!

Others came to celebrate with us and it warms our heart to see each and everyone of them. Karen, Danielle, Alicia, Alyssa, Ted and Melissa came as well as some of your friends, Rey, Christian, Brad and Josh. Of course they brought something to share with you. I tasted it only because it was for you. YUCK.

Love and miss you son. Until we meet again.... Mom

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say,
But first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from Heaven, where I dwell with God above,
Where there are no tears or sadness, there is just eternal Love.

Please do not be unhappy, just because I'm out of sight,
Remember that I'm with you, every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me, and said, " I welcome you".

"It's good to have you back again.
You were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man".

Then God gave me a list of things he wished for me to do.
And foremost on that list of mine, is to watch and care for you.
I will be beside you, every day of the week and year,
And when you're sad I'm standing there, to wipe away the tear.

And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth, and all those loving years,
Because you're only human, there's bound to be some tears.

One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over,
I am closer to you now than I ever was before.
And to my many friends, trust God knows what is best.
I am not far away from you, I'm just beyond the crest.

There are rocky roads ahead for you and many hills to climb,
Together we can do it, taking one day at a time.
It was my philosophy and please I'd like for you,
To give unto the world, so the world will give to you.

If you can help someone who's in sorrow or in pain,
Then you can say to God at night, my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile,
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

When you're walking down the street and I am on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.
And when you feel a gentle breeze of wind upon your face,

That's me giving you a great big hug, or just a s oft embrace.
When it's time for you to go from that body to be free,
Remember you are not going, you are coming home to me.
I will always love you, from that place way up above,
I will be in touch again soon.
P.S. God sends his love.
