IT’S BEEN A WHILE

It’s been quite awhile
Since I last saw your face,
Heard your voice or held you
In this now lonely place.

I miss your laughter
Dancing brilliantly on the walls
And hearing your feet
Come running up the hall.

I miss your smile
The way it brightened my days
The radiance in your eyes,
Seeing you play in so many ways.

I miss your touch
As I’d hold you so tight
You’d sit on my lap
And I’d rock you at night.

And now your laughter
Dances through Heaven’s walls.
Your feet are now heard
Running down Heaven’s halls.

Your smile now brightens
Your new home up above
The radiance in your eyes
Still shows so much love

Jesus feels your touch
And he holds you so tight.
You sit on His lap
He rocks you at night.

One day I’ll be there
I’ll hold you as before.
I’ll see you, I’ll hear you
I’ll rock you once more.

WHY

As I look up into the beautiful sky
I can only ask myself one more time – why?
Of course people tell me it was your time
But they don’t know what it’s like
To pretend to be fine.
To each day with the hurt and pain
From deep inside you don’t know where it came
They don’t know how it feels to have to live
Without the child who had so much to give
To go on and on and never know why
I can’t understand no matter how hard I try
I try to be patient and not to get mad
But of course I’ll always be very sad
There is such a void and emptiness inside
You can’t imagine how much I’ve cried.
And I know if I really knew why you had to leave
You still wouldn’t be here and
I’d still be bereaved.

Amanda Kate Stewart
Our Last Child
8/20/94 to 6/27/98

On June 27, 1998 at 8:35 p.m. I received "the phone call" that every parent dreads. I was told that Amanda fell at a party and was taken to the Emergency Room. I'll never forget the fear I felt inside, not knowing how she was coping without me. I thought she was getting stitches in her lip and angry because I wasn't there to hold her. Amanda never had a childhood illness or injury. I called my husband and he met me there. Upon arrival I was greeted and pushed back by the people she had been with. Amanda was 3 years, 10 months, and 7 days old. She drowned. I know nothing more today than I did on that horrible night. My baby girl died a wrongful, unjustifiable, untimely death and no one knows how she got 100 feet from a party to the bottom of 8 feet of water. Amanda Kate is survived by two brothers, Ricky who is now 14, and Michael-Jack age 12. Our last child, our baby girl, was our future. Amanda was such a wonderful child. She enjoyed life. Her joy of the little things was a wonderful trait she had. Ladybugs, spaghetti, Barbie dolls, dressing-up, dancing, and playing with her brothers made her so happy. Her favorite movie was the Lion King. She loved watching Barney and singing, singing loudly to any song she knew. She learned the words to Truly, Madly, Deeply, by Savage Garden and sang her little heart out to it. There was a mountain in the distance and she asked to go there to be closer to the clouds and God. She went to a Christian PreSchool and enjoyed writings from the Bible and Christian songs. The morning of the day she died, she left my Bible on the living room floor. She always pretended she could read it. I miss the tug of her little hand, her sweet voice, her beautiful hair, the smell of her baby powdered-body, and her love. She was my miracle baby and now she is my memory. We didn't want a memory, we wanted her! Sandy . . Mommy of Amanda Kate
