Letter to Joshua
on his Heavenly Anniversary
How cruel life can be.
I can still hear the echo of the cold harsh words of reality just as if they were spoken only yesterday. "Joshua has passed away" words that cut completely through me, words that dropped me, shattered me, totally changed me.
I wait for you. I watch for you everywhere. My head knows you have left but my heart does not accept this. And so I will continue to wait. I will continue to look for you everywhere. My heart will accept it, the day I see you again.
Your body is gone. But your Spirit will live forever.
Love, Mom

A candle burns today
In memory of you
The glowing of that flame
helps to get me through.
It reminds me today
that even though you're gone
your spirit has remained
and your memory lives on
The warm glowing flame
sends warmth into my heart
and keeps strong a bond
that can not be torn apart.
So a flame is lit for you
on this special day,
In my heart you will remain
Forever and always...
Joshua Jay Farrar

Thank you to my wonderful friends for all the
gifts received for Joshua's 1st Anniversary in Heaven.
I wouldn't be here today if not for you.
You are wonderful...
You give me inspiration and hope
Love, Sharon
 
Arms of Love
Dear Lord, you took my son,
It was 1 year ago today.
And since he has been gone from me,
My heart aches in every way.
Each time I recall that day,
I'm filled with sadness and with grief.
Each day my heart breaks, dear Lord,
I pray I'll soon feel some relief.
Though my heart is full of sadness
And my mind is filled with pain,
I am comforted in knowing
That I'll see my son again.
Help me daily my dear Lord.
As I put my faith in you.
Help me believe your promise:
That your love will pull me through.
For my human form can't fathom
Any reasons for this pain.
But I know my broken heart will mend
When I see Joshua again.
For I know his spirit didn't die.
He was born to heaven above.
Angels rejoiced with him that day
As You wrapped Him in Your arms of Love.
