Broken Hearts ~ Shattered Dreams
A Newsletter for Bereaved Parents
May/June 2002, Page 1


Note from the editors: As many of you may know, Rosemary was the editor of the HOPES newsletter through Loma Linda Hospital for about 5 years. Recently, the funding for the newsletter came to a halt, so we decided to try and give support to all of you bereaved parents with our own online newsletter. If you wish to contribute or have any suggestions, you can email Rosemary or Maria.


~*~ Shattered Dreams ~*~
by Rosemary Torres©

I always dreamed of having my own little girl...
and then you were born.
I dreamed of how you would look when you grew up.
I dreamed of what you'd be like...
My dreams for your future were plenty.
My dreams for OUR future were full.
You reached the beginning of your teen years
starting to see the world...
You were the perfect child, in every way imaginable.
My dreams for you continued as you went on
to see the "world" through your eyes.
I dreamed of seeing you walk down that walkway
after receiving your High School Diploma.
I dreamed of seeing you off to college.
I dreamed of you being the "Cardiac Surgeon"
that you dreamed of being when you grew up.
I dreamed of seeing you walk down the aisle hand-in-hand
with the man of your dreams.
I dreamed of the title "Grandma" you'd give me
after the birth of your first child,
just as you gave me the title "MOM".
My dreams for you, went on and on.
So many dreams yet to be fullfilled.
There was never an end to all the dreams
I had for you my Daughter
...then they were shattered...
~*~ SHATTERED DREAMS ~*~
...that's all these ever will be...
Dreams...I wonder...was that all you ever were...
or did you even exist?








A friend can hear a tear drop.
