REMEMBERING
CAMDEN
CAMDEN'S FIRST BIRTHDAY BALLOON RELEASE PICTURE IS IN THE BACKGROUND....
This is the Martha's Vinyard lighthouse Memorial.  It is for children that have  passed away.  The bottom of the lighthouse is surrounded by cobblestones.  My family bought a stone for our son Camden.  We took a trip to Martha's Vineyard and were able to see it.  It meant alot to us to see his name, We don't have alot to hold onto, so we cherish the little things we have.
" I WILL REMEMBER YOU,
WILL YOU REMEMBER ME?
DON'T LET YOUR LIFE PASS YOU BY,
WEEP NOT FOR THE MEMORIES."
"ONCE THERE WAS A DARKNESS, DEEP AND ENDLESS NIGHT.  YOU GAVE ME EVERYTHING YOU HAD, OH YOU GAVE ME LIGHT...."
This is Camden's stone at Saint Mary's Cemetary where he is buried.
THE POEM ON HIS STONE
It is we who weep
For our sweet little boy
We picture you peacefully asleep
Maybe that is our only joy
Love has been put to the test
and ours will only grow stronger
Wishing to hold you longer
But it's time now, our angel is at rest


WRITTEN FOR HIS 1ST BIRTHDAY

Remembering sweet Camden
holding onto a day when
our lives were forever touched
an angel was handed to us
our hearts truly became one
together we held our dear son
we found a new kind of love
one that was sent from above
we still feel it everyday
just in a different way
forever apart of who we are
if were sad we don't have to travel far
because our hearts remain the same
our love for him hasn't changed
not a single day passes by
we don't think of him, or wonder why
yet we are thankful to have had that day
to us it's more then words can say
we remember him with a smile
and feel blessed to have our angel child
we love and miss you
Mom and Dad
CAMDEN'S STONE ON HIS FIRST BIRTHDAY...
WRITTEN FOR HIS SECOND BIRTHDAY

Another year has come and gone
hard to believe it's been that long
sometimes it feels as though time stands still
missing his presence which can never be filled
just as his life should have begun to bloom
he got his wings far to soon
a small spirit had been set free
now the smallest of angels he'll be
Love and peace is all he'll ever know
and sometimes when I feel a gentle wind blow
I wonder if it's my angel that's around me
my angel that I hold dear but just can't see
Angel baby please know how much we miss you
we are sending all our love, for in heaven you're two
love always,
Mom and Dad
WRITTEN FOR HIS 3RD BIRTHDAY

I didn't know just how short our time would be
or just how much I'd never get to see
You were gone with just the blink of an eye
and now I am counting the years that have gone by
Sometimes I feel like it was just yesterday
when goodbye was all I could say
Forty weeks just isn't enough time
but at least I had that and you were all mine
We knew each other like no other
my love for a son and yours for a mother
And I know for your dad
he will always remember the first son he had
There is so much that I will never know
but in my heart I can watch you grow
That's where I keep you close to me
and that's where you are turning three
I know for now we have to be apart
but you're not gone, you live in my heart
We love you,
Mom and Dad xo

WRITTEN FOR HIS FOURTH BIRTHDAY

With each passing year
it's become clear
that your life is about more
then the short time you were here
your alive in our hearts
and in your brother and sisters to
we want to thank you
for all the lessons you have taught us
for all the love you have brought us
we know we are blessed
to have an angel amongst us

with love, Mom and Dad




Every year for his birthday I have put a poem in the paper, something I can do in his memory.  The last one I wrote for his fourth birthday is one of my favorites, so I am going to post that each year!
