Happy Mother's Day Mom, from your special angel above.
I want to say Mom,Thank You, for your unconditional love.
I am so sorry Mom, that I had to leave you here on earth. You took such good care of me Mom, ever since my birth.
Please Mom, it hurts me, to see you sad and cry. I really am happy Mom and I'm the handsome angel in the sky.
I am still here Mom, in everything you see and do. I am the sun shining in the sky when it is ever so blue.
I am the birds singing in the light of an early dawn. I am the smell of Daddys freshly mowed lawn.
I am the sound of raindrops, on your window pane. I am the rainbow, at the end of the rain.
I am the butterfly fluttering by with delicate ease. I am the sound of wind blowing through the trees.
I am the ladybug, found walking your arm one time in May. I am here Mom, thinking of you, on Mother's Day
Love, your Angel Ryan
Precious Ryan and sweet, wonderful Kathy,
First I wanted to thank you for writing to my Joey. I am trying to write to all the Mother's and families. I am at the nursing home everyday to feed my mother. I was taking care of her for 5 1/2 months at home until I could not do it any longer by myself. She has Alzmheimer's Disease. My father is now getting the same thing, it is a nightmare. I am still mouring over my baby and will do so until I am reunited with him. I have been a nurse for 38 years, and I have been out on medical leave. I did try to go back on 3 different occasion's, but I did not want to put my patient's at any risk, with my frame of mind. After the 3rd time that was it. So it took some time but I ended up wrting a book, and now I am on my second one. I had book signing's and reading's, but I had to put everything on hold. Of course as you know Family comes first. I am sorry but I did not mention my book in case you wanted to know, you can see it and get any information at:
www.deborahdematthews.com I hope from the bottom of my "heart" it will help Mom's and families. Any proceeds from the book goes to charity, school's, church's any families who lost a love one unexpected, in Joey's name. To me for some reason it keeps Joey alive and his name in my mind.
I wanted both you Kathy and beautiful Nicholas to remember that you will always be in my daily prayers and always will.
All my love,
Debbie

A Mother's Crown
Heaven lit up with His mighty presence,
As all the Angels looked down,
Today the Lord was placing the jewels,
In all the mother’s crowns.
As He held up a golden crown,
As all the mother’s looked on,
He said in His gentle voice,
"I just want to explain each stone."
He held the first gem in His hand
But the radiance couldn’t match His own.
For He was the light of Heaven,
Reflecting off each of the stones.
"The first gem," He said, "is an emerald,
And it’s for endurance alone,
For all the nights you waited up.
For your children to come home.
For all the nights by their bedside,
You stayed till the fever went down,
For nursing every little wound,
I add this emerald to your crown."
"A ruby, I’ll place by the emerald,
For leading your child in the right way,
For if you hadn’t taught them about me,
They wouldn’t be here with you today.
For always being right there,
Thru all life's important events,
I give you a sapphire stone,
For the time and love you spent."
"For untying the strings that held them,
When they grew up and left home,
I give you this one for courage."
Then the Lord added an amethyst stone.
"I’ll place a stone of garnet," He said,
"For all the times you spent on your knees,
When you asked me to take care of your children,
And them for having faith in me."
"I have a pearl for every little sacrifice,
That you made without them knowing,
For all the times you went without,
To keep them happy, healthy, and growing."
"And last of all I have a diamond,
The greatest of all gems,
For those mother’s who lost their children,
When they came home to heaven before them."
"This is the most precious sacrifice,
So I give the most precious stone,
For I know just how you felt,
I too lost a child of my own."
After the Lord placed the last jewel in,
He said, "Heaven is now complete,
For every mother has her crown of jewels,
And all her children are at her feet."
