A
Remembrance to my Daughter, Dawn
On
the Fourth Anniversary of her Death

Four Years - IMAGINE
"Time Heals All Wounds"…..or so the saying goes.
For all parents who have lost children, this statement does not apply. It is hard to put into words the agony I have suffered since August 13, 1997, but let me try by asking you to
IMAGINE…
·
Waking up each morning and having the nightmare of losing your child on
your mind
· Shopping at Christmas and not being able to buy your child that special
gift
· Placing fresh cut flowers next to your child's picture each week, because
you are unable to send them
· Kissing a picture of your child goodnight as a tear falls on the cold
frame
· Still waiting for the phone to ring and hear your child's voice
· Reliving your last visit with your child over and over and over again
in your mind
· Only seeing your beautiful grandchildren once a year - How sad this
would make Dawn
· Having your life consumed with keeping your child's memory alive
· Planting a rose in your garden in your child's memory
· Missing the sound of laughter and the sparkle in her eye
· Clutching pictures that have now caused time to stand still for four
years
Imagine… · Going to bed each night with tears in your eyes.
There is nothing, absolutely nothing that I can say here that would even
come close to describing the pain that lingers in my heart. Words cannot
express the sadness I feel by the loss of my daughter. There is one hope,
and one hope only….
"We Shall All Meet Again in the Dawn of a New Tomorrow"
And
what a wonderful tomorrow that will be.
