Spirit Wings
Welcome to Spirit Wings.
Hi. I'm Cathie. I'd like to welcome you to Spirit Wings. Spirit Wings was started as an E-group for parents who have lost a child through death. It is a place where we can talk about our children and where we can lend a helping hand, a shoulder, understanding in a safe environment. We can do this since we in Spirit Wings have lost a child, so we can understand one another. It does not matter what age or how long ago our children were taken, as a child will be our child whether they are one or ninety-one.It is the hardest lost we ever have and we will miss and love our child as long as we live. The pain never leaves us, nor does the memories of our child.Our children will live on forever in our hearts and our thoughts.
If you are a mother or father who has lost a child and would like to join Spirit Wings, send me an email to: Cathiezoo2@aol.com and in the subject line put RE: Spirit Wings,
Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoyed your visit and hope you'll visit again as more is added. Just click on the buttons below to visit our other pages.
Competition runs February 18, 2008 to March 8, 2008

I added my son's name to the remembrance quilt.

My Mommy is a Survivor
My mommy is a survivor,
or so I've heard it said.
But I hear her crying late at night
when others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night
and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her
to help her understand.
But like the sands upon the beach
that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom,
who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others...
A smile of disguise.
But through heaven's door
I see the tears flowing from her eyes.
My mom tries to cope with death
to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her,
knows it is her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom...
Through heaven's open door
I try to tell her that angels
protect me forevermore.
I know that doesn't help her
or eases the burden she bears.
If you get a chance, go and visit her...
and show her that you care.
For no matter what she says...
No matter what she feels
My surviving mommy has
a broken heart
That time won't ever heal.

Don't Tell Me
Don't tell me that you understand,
Don't tell me that you know...
Don't tell me that I will surely survive,
How I will surely grow...
Don't tell me this is just a test,
That I am truly blessed...
That I am chosen for the task,
Apart from all the rest...
Don't come at me with answers,
That can only come from me...
Don't tell me how my grief will pass,
That I will soon be free...
Don't stand in pious judgment,
Of the bonds that I must untie...
Don't tell me how to suffer,
And don't tell me how to cry...
My life is filled with selfishness,
My pain is all I see...
But I need you, I need your love,
Unconditionally...
Accept me in my up's and down's,
I need someone to share...
Just hold my hand and let me cry,
And say, My friend, I care...
