To The Group from Terry at Grieving Parents  / Sylvia Vaughn (mother)
You sit there in the darkness
You feel so all alone.
You suffer in your sadness.
Your house is not a home.

You call out in the night
"Just let me see your face!"
Hold on to a memory in your mind
A very sacred place.

The darkness is surrounding you.
On both the inside and the out.
All alone in this darkness
You feel that you must shout:

"I'm here. I'm all alone.
"I need your help. I need a hug"
"I'm dying on the inside
"The pain of a mother's love."

Most mother's take for granted
The precious gift they have
Wishing they weren't parents
Especially when their child is bad.

Above this group of parents
Is a different kind of crowd
Of mom's and dad's who've lost a child
And cannot shout out loud:

"I need your help. I'm all alone
"No memories to share
"I'm here. I'm reaching out to you.
"Please show me that you care."

It's your future that you lose
Your past and present too
Losing a child changes
Every thing you say and do.

I feel much more compassion
Mostly for new angel friends.
People from all over Earth, who
Listen while I tell again.

The story of my angel
No matter how many times told
They listen and reply to me
My feelings never get old.

They are always here to help me
And stand right by my side.
They are always there to comfort me
In them my feelings I confide

Each day is a new journey in grief,
Never knowing what will come
Some days are happy, Some are painful
Some horrible and then there are some---

Days when darkness surround you,
And you really must just shout:
"I lost my child, I can't help but cry,
"And I must just GET IT OUT!!!"

Just post and look around you
For always we will be here
There is no need to be all alone
We'll be here for you, dear,

Although our names may change
And at times there may be few,
Know there is always someone out there
Willing to listen and share with you.

Through good days and all the bad
To my loving angel friends I've met
For all the comfort, love, and hugs
Received and sent Thanks to the internet.

A Poem written by Lyndie Sorenson for her Joey and his Heavenly Buddies  / Sylvia Vaughn (Mother)
Listen very carefully
Do not make a sound
Those that went to heaven
are certainly around

They send messages of hope
To lighten up our heart
They are closer than we realize
We are not so far apart

They know we think about them
as our eyes fill up with tears
They know we miss them deeply
Know how difficult the years

They try hard to make it better
Sending messages of hope
As we make it through another day
and somehow try to cope

Keep in mind that they are with us
Loving you... loving me
As they wrap their light around us
trying hard to set us free

They send messages of hope
Each and every day
Listen very carefully...
They may send you one today

In loving memory of Joey and his heavenly buddies

MAY GOD BLESS TONY'S FAMILY AS THEY LIVE ON WITHOUT HIM  / Dianna Jacobs

To have a child taken from you by murder, I am just at a loss
for words, I see these terrible things on TV, but I am from
a very small town, not that murder has not happened here,
but very rare.  

How does a family live on after losing their precious son 
by the hand of another, how does the anger not eat
you up, I feel it would me?

I am angry because my daughter took diet pills with
ephedra which, I found out after her death, caused the
seizures, and the one seizure that caused her to drown
while bathing.  But she chose to take diet pills, so there
is certainly a great difference and I am angry, I am angry
that these diet pill companies are allowed to use herbs
that have never been tested by the FDA, so you see,
my heart goes out to you.

My daughter was 5 weeks from her 31st birthday when she
drowned and I also noticed that Tony was 31, he was older
than Kanda, but we lost our child at about the same age,
they, just beginning their lives.

I feel I have made a wonderful friend and thank you
for signing Kanda's guestbook also.

My biggest hugs to Tony's Family
Dianna Jacobs
Kanda's Mom 4ever

Remembering Anthony with you  / Natalie Camp (Mom to Angel Friend Anthony Paul )
Anthony,
I just had to come by and let you know that I was thinking of you and your mom today. I know it is a very hard day for her. Please comfort her with lots of signs and angel kisses from you. You remind me so much of my Anthony. I know you two are having a great time in Heaven. I will keep you in my prayers.
Sylvia,
I am so sorry that you have to have an Angelversary at all. I wish I could give your Angel back to you safe and sound. He is so precious, as all our children are. I hope that you have a peaceful day and feel the comfort, warmth and love of your son. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
