08-10-2009 - Finleys funeral

My mood while writing this blog: Peaceful

Hi girls

Finleys funeral wasn't quite as bad as I thought it was going to be. We had 3 poems read and a song played. I feel much better now, I feel as though a big weight has been lifted off me. 2 months is a long time to wait for a funeral, I feel quite relieved that he's not in the morgue by himself anymore. About half way through the song we had played a feeling of peace and happiness came over me - I'm hoping it was Finleys way of telling me he is ok...

Thank you to all of you who were with me in spirit yesterday :)

Here are the poems and a link to the song, I will also put some photo's on my profile of the flowers.

They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way I feel,
For no-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried,
We want to tell you something,
So there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.
-----------------------------------------------------
The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.
The little one we long for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
Every beating of our hearts
Says that we love you.

These are My Footprints

These are my tiny footprints, so perfect and so small.These tiny little footprints never touched the ground at all.

Not one tiny little footprint, for now I have my wings. These tiny little footprints were meant for other things.

You will hear my tiny footprints, in the patter of the rain. Gentle drops like angels tears, of joy and not from pain.

You will see my tiny footprints in each butterflies' lazy dance. I'll let you know i'm with you, if you give me just a chance.

You will see my tiny footprints, in the rustle of the leaves. I will whisper names into the wind, and call each one that grieves.

Most of all these footprints are found in Mummy & Daddy's heart, cause even though I'm gone now, we'll never truly part.
