Members nicksdad Posted December 11, 2011 Members Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I am terrible at music, artist and groups....With that said last year around this time someone posted a video (YouTube) of a Christmas song. It was a group and they were like on a stage singing with a moon in the background...Sorta looked high schoolish..but they are a popular group and I can't remember who it is. Any ideas? I know dumb question but can't get it out of my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ericasmom Posted December 11, 2011 Members Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Okay a funky utube, there are more to this song but the song needs to be heard right now, I am sobbing, it does this to me. This is the song that 100 third graders sang in memory of Erica that first Christmas without her at the school where I teach. It was the song I suggested to the music teacher in the summer before school let out and then Eri was killed and he knew what the song meant to me, so taught it to the kids and presented it at our Holiday sing by saying, we learned this for Ms. Conmy in memory of Erica Reith.

Members mikesmomrs Posted December 11, 2011 Members Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks for the song, Dee, and so sorry that it still brings tears, but somethings always will, won't they?Just wanted to let you all know that I am thinking of you today. Lorri, sorry that you are not doing the candle lighting...is it just not being done in your community, or are you personally not doing it? Trudi, the candles look beautiful. Thanks for sharing.Did some present buying for the kids last night, online. Haven't been to a store yet, except for a few things I've picked up over the year. It seems almost that I am in another world when I think of doing anything for Christmas, but Mike did mention last night that he would like to have some Christmas things around. The doctor called (from Dartmouth, where they are doing the surgery), to tell us that after seeing all his paperword from his recent hospitalization, labs, ct scans, etc., it would seem that his health is more fragile than they thought and she is thinking he may not be able to do the chemo/radiation treatments, as it would set him up for infection too many times, and that would ultimately push the date for the surgery out further and further. So, she (the oncologist) is going to talk to the surgeon tomorrow to see what they decide together. My thoughts are a jumble right now...trying so hard to hold on, but my insides are melting away like jello next to a hot stove. FAITH. I know that I need to continue to call on that. What haunts me is that part of faith is "Thy will, not mine, be done." And "Praise God in all things." Those were both read at church today. My heart felt as though it were being pierced with a spear. "Pray unceasingly" reverberates through my brain and keeps me going. If they move his surgery up, I don't imagine we will be doing Christmas here, as I expect he will be in the hospital for at least two weeks. Will keep you all posted. Please, squeeze us into your prayers. Each day is a freaking nightmare. But not all day. Sometimes we are able to just put it aside and relish the moment. Thank God for that.love to all...you are all in my heart and in my prayers. Will be lighting our candles and thinking of each of our precious angels.

Members ericasmom Posted December 12, 2011 Members Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Three candles here as well, one for Eri, her Dad, and one for all of our Angels as they gather to witness our light. And tears a plenty with the found song for Dan from the hard work of Betsy, thanks Betsy, now I do remember that beautiful song, love COLDPLAY but had forgotten that song adn the words which laid me out again today. Full moon is lit for our KIDS or maybe from our KIDS reflecting back the lighted Earth waving at our DEARHEARTS who are gone too soon. Oh Sweet Angels, my ERI, hold onto our lights as we do yours, let us make you smile in all we do here and we will always hold you closely, take you with us everywhere we go. I hope you don't mind my speaking aloud to you, I feel you hear me/us, I cannot go a day without speaking to you. Help us be the best we can be as we find our steps each day, know that no matter how short your time here, the love is forever.Carol and Mike (Ralph) bless you as you deal once again with the unknowns in this upheavel. May your hearts find some balance and peace with your faith, and know that the prayers being spoken need not be squeezed in, rather set in gold and silver and spoken with hope and true hearts.

Guests Guest msnher Posted December 12, 2011 Guests Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I don't know if we did it right. I almost forgot until the last minute. I found five candles...one for each of the kids and one for me and Gary. I didn't think about lighting just one for the person who passed...instead each of us lit one for her. I could have lit one for my sister and my mother, but I only thought of Stephanie. We each stood quietly and thought about Stephanie and then we each lit our own candle. I spoke her name and dates. I didn't put us in the picture because my hair isn't fixed and I'm in my robe. Mariah's hair was dripping wet, so we just took a picture of Stephanie's urn and the candles. Is there a right way or traditional way to facilitate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Susie_q512 Posted December 12, 2011 Members Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 All the candles are beautiful, and the love represented for those we have lost is the most beautiful of all. I am too new on this journey to really have had any time to properly plan for the Worldwide Candle Lighting or any other form of remembrance, so I just got a single candle. I have been looking a memorial candles similar to Nick's, but it will take planning and time to choose the one I want....maybe by next year? All of the pictures and songs posted recently are beautiful also. Thanks to all for sharing. Also listened to Kourtney's voice. So happy that Dan was able to upload it....So thankful for technology. Not doing too well lately. Not crying, just depressed, angry and exhausted. I do check in daily, but have just lacked both the motivation and anything useful to post. Think of each of you and our angels throughout my days and nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikesmum Posted December 12, 2011 Members Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 http://neverlosefaith.com/images/kourtneysvoice.mp3Test test. Someone see what this doesNever mind didn't wkLorri ~ I heard this very self assured young woman.....'give me a call back'. If only. I have a DVD with Mike being interviewed for a scholarship fund ad...gotta work out how to download it and attach it...The candles and memorial tributes to our children are truly beautiful. They lived, they are part of us and everyone should know that.I have always believed that parents who lose a child are drawn to each other. Complete strangers who meet and in a moment tell their deepest secret, they have lost a child. Today as I walked Muttley back from the post office a lady came up and asked what type of dog is he. The conversation went on about her old labrador missing her son. He died 2yrs ago this January, suicide. She is now raising her grandchildren, his wife unable to reconnect with 'family'. We talked for 1 1/2hrs just standing in the street. Her son had called her to talk as he took a rope and ended his life. He had been in the Army and was part of the body recovery teams sent in after Black Saturday, a job no one could do and remain unchanged forever.She told me how she felt she didn't fit in the world. Sounded so familiar. Then she told me she had lost another son earlier. She patted Muttley as she talked. She is angry at how people who have never experienced loss at this level are so wise in the ways of grief. I will have a coffee with her sometime in the future and tell her of the Indigo's..the book of 'Dumbass' and let her know that there is a parellel universe where we are understood, cared for and supported...Just thought I'd share.

Members ericasmom Posted December 12, 2011 Members Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I wholly agree with Carol, Trudi, that this woman and you were meant to meet and Muttley, in all of his Sir Muttley-ness, was the conduit. Your Boys, each smiling as they watch their Mums stroll the paths of their lives. Peace to you All, going to school after a walk under the early morning moon, so clear and silver bright. Straightens my crooked thoughts out to make me ready for the day.Susan, no, I don't have a candle like the one that Dan has either, but maybe one day. I just light some of my favorites and put them in the windows in our kitchen and front rooms so that the light spills out and calls out to the Kids, "we are here in unison, all of us across the whole big world, calling you, reminding you that you are loved but forever..." Your anger and feeling very low are par for this course adn I am sorry, so sorry for anyone having to face this but so glad that there is a place in which to talk about it. Keep talking Dear, it is why we gather together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jeff's Mom Posted December 12, 2011 Members Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Thanks for thinking of Jeff today. I was just sitting and looking over the cards of condolences that we were given. The one in particular that means the most to me.... was given to us from a group of street people that he had helped. He worked for a temporary employment placement agency. Mostly saw the rough side of life, but also much goodness. He made many friends. They signed beside their names why he would be missed. The card read: "Some people touch the lives of others...by the kindness they show, the joy they bring, the friendship they share. Jeff touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed. And beside their names were notations such as, GO VIKES! WIN!...I'm one that will miss him...Farewell my friend...and on and on.Apart from being his Mom...I have to say that he was the best friend in the world. It truly is a great loss. On the front of the tribute card at the memorial we had a pic of a lake and a forest area where his ashes are scattered. Inside there is a picture of Jeff at at Blue Jay's ball game, in Toronto. He had gone to Toronto to attend a U2 concert and also see a game. He was having a blast. Beside the pic was wiritten a prayer.AN IRISH BLESSINGMay the road rise to meet youMay the wind be always at your backMay the sun shine upon your face,And the rains fall softly upon your fields. And until we meet again,May God hold you in the palm of his hand.Rest in peace, my beautiful boy. Until we meet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
