Mybiddness: my heart goes out to you, your niece, and Bailey's parents. What a tragedy!

Bunnicula Thanks and thanks for bouncing around with me on the other threads tonight. It's almost 3:30 a.m. now - and, I think I can finally sleep.

This candle is for Bailey and her family and all those that loved her.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.


When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

mybiddness - It's so hard to understand the 'why' of things that life brings our way. I'm got goose-bumps reading your post. I am so very sorry for your families loss. I hope all will find peace in their hearts soon.

There is no greater loss than losing a child. My deepest sympathies to you and your family & friends. Rejoice is knowing she is the newest angel.

What a sad story.
As a former EMT I can tell you horse riders should wear helmets and bicycle riders too.
Please insist on it even if your child is just using training wheels.


Mybiddiness : I know what you mean about the words feeling empty. At my fathers funeral they said all the right words but they sounded hollow at the time.It took a while to see the truth in them.

I believe every life has a reason no matter how short and in every passing there is a message. Someone will read your post or know her story and insist thier child wear a helmet and what would have been thier last day won't be.
My prayers go out to you, your niece and the girls family.

For All Parents *Author Unknown*

I'll lend you for a little time, a child of mine, He said.
For you to love while she lives, and mourn when she is dead.

It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three.
But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me?

She'll bring her charms to gladden you, and shall her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want his child to learn.

I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you.

Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call to take her back again?

I fancied that I heard them say, Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may;
And for the happiness we've know, will ever grateful say.

But shall the angels call for her much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.

Sgtmike and Njrazd Thanks for the beautiful poems - and thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers.

I know that this was an eye-opener for us as far as helmets. We'd become a little lax with my ten year old, but this caused us to stop and remember how important that rule is. It's a sad human trait that we all believe it can never happen to us.
