THEY ARE A BRILLIANT SPARK FROM GOD'S ETERNAL LIGHT ABOVE-- SENT HERE TO FAMILIES GOD IS SURE WILL SHOWER THEM WITH LOVE. THEY COME TO GIVE THE WORLD THE GIFTS THAT ONLY THEY CAN BRING... SWEET INNOCENCE, ACCEPTING FAITH AND HOPE IN EVERYTHING. YET NOW AND THEN OUR HEARTS ARE TORN WHEN SUCH A SPECIAL CHILD IS ONLY HERE TO SHINE THAT LIGHT ON EARTH A LITTLE WHILE. REMEMBERING THEIR LIVES BRINGS JOY, ALTHOUGH OUR HEARTS STILL GRIEVE, THERE'S SO MUCH LOVE AND COMFORT IN THE MEMORIES THEY LEAVE. GOD'S HOLDING THAT SWEET CHILD RIGHT NOW JUST AS HE'S HOLDING YOU HE KNOWS THE AWFUL PAIN YOU BEAR-- HE LOST HIS DEAR CHILD TOO. IN LOVING MEMORY OF THIS PRECIOUS CHILD, THE SWEET LIGHT OF LOVE. WHO NOW SHINES IN HEAVEN WITH GOD.  when she was pregnant with her twin boys.       since I have been up here. I know it seems like a lifetime to you ... But you know I still love ya dear! You have tried to hold onto the things that reminded you of me. But it's okay to let go of it all, Mom. I'll always be where I need to be I can see deep inside of your heart. I can see how lonely you are. And it's okay for you to cry, Mom. That's what tears are for. It doesn't matter where you live or go. I'm still right there with you. Oh, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. And that light will see you through. I'm watching you from Heaven's side. You can never lose sight of me. I know you hold me near your heart. And, that's where I'll always be. Yeah, it has been quite a while, Mom, But I know you can feel me near. Oh, the life you live will show others my love just can't disappear. Oh when I look deep inside of your heart and see how lonely you are. I send a message to say it's okay to cry ... Healing is what tears are for! Used with Permission   What all did you get to do? Did you walk on the streets of gold as Jesus walked along side of you? Did you get to sing with the Angels today or just sit on the sidelines and listen? Did you put a smile on the Father's face when He saw your eyes glisten? Did you sit on the river banks of Jordan and hear the stories Noah had to tell? Oh it must have been something to hear how the animals got along so well. Did you go talk to the King David? And ask him about that giant? Did you sit with Moses and hear how the Children of Israel were so defiant? Did you sit in the lap of the Mother of Jesus? As she kiss your precious cheek? Did she wrap her arms around you and your name ... softly speak? Did you play in the Garden of Eden while the Angels watched you? Oh did you spend the day sending love as only you can do? Did you walk with St. Peter today and stand close at this feet? And be the one to say welcome saints and smile at those you'd greet? How was it up there in Heaven today? I can imagine what beauty you see. But all the while, you are missed down here. And ... oh I know you will always be. And, although you're with the Father in Heaven; We still miss your sparkling eyes! And at night when the whole world is sleeping, Your Mommie & Daddy lays awake & cries. You are about to have your another birthday. But I guess you already knew this. What kind of celebration will there be in Heaven? Will you grab onto your Mom's birthday kiss? I guess I will ask this one last question, to the little angel that touches hearts everywhere. When it's my turn to spend a day in Heaven, will you be at the gate to welcome me there?

So one day he asked God They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless? Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you. But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy. Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy. And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk? Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak. And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you? Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray. I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me? Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life. But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore. Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you. At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name. Your angel's name is of no importance, you will call your angel     THEY ARE NURTURED BY OUR LAUGHTER THEY ARE WATERED BY OUR TEARS. MEMORIES LIVE FOREVER, SENT FROM HEAVEN UP ABOVE. TO ETERNALLY CONNECT US TO THE PEOPLE THAT WE LOVE MAY MEMORIES KEEP YOUR LOVED ONE NEAR AND COMFORT YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.      Here is what she wrote to me about it ~"ANGELO SUDDENLY IS HAVING THE CAT IN THE HAT BIRTHDAY. EVERYTHING IS THING 1& THING 2 & THE CAT IN THE HAT. HE IS REALLY IN LOVE WITH HIM SINCE WE SAW IT AT THE MOVIES, I KIND OF FEEL ANTONIO WOULD BE THE SAME TODAY" So this is a gift from Angelo to Angel Antonio!   The picture above is Mario with Angelo.     to shadow all the darkness and bless the times we knew Like a beacon in the night the flame will burn bright and guide us on our way Oh today I light a candle for you. Seasons come and go and I'm weary from the change Keep on moving on -- you know it's not the same And when I'm walking all alone Do you hear me call your name? Do you hear me sing the songs we used to sing? And I will light a candle for you... You filled my life with wonder -- touched me with surprise Always saw that something special deep within your eyes And through the good times and the bad We carried on with pride I hold on to the love and life we knew And I will light a candle for you... Oh today I light a candle for you.   A big thank you to Marlene for the beautiful frameson Antonio's pictures!
