My daughter

Posted by MamaBren in Untagged 

Ana-Alicai ran away on 9/14/07, the day after her 17th birthday.  She is a beautiful, smart, loving girl.  She is also an addict.  How did this happen?   I blame myself.  After I divorced her father she and her sibligns were never the same.  Yes, I left an absive marriage, but I damaged my children in the process.  I was so broken at that time, I didn't see their pain. 

She is gone, has not been heard from or seen since, took to bus to Dallas.  I miss her my heart is breaking, I can't breathe sometimes.  Surely it would hurt less to be dead.  Does God really give us so much pain that she needs to escape into drugs and I feel like I'm dying?

Don't Cry for Me

Posted by MamaBren in Loss of a Child

 Don't Cry for Me Please I am asking that you do not cry, for I only went home to meet Jesus in the sky.  I have a mansion, a crown, and a beautiful white robe, and what a glory it is to walk on streets paved of gold. Now to my mother and father and husband my children need your love hold them by there tiny hands and give them a hug. Embrace them with your love and show them how to remember me, because I will be up above watching you, seeing your love. Now when times get hard and you can't see your way, you just fall on your knees and began to pray; if you listen with your heart and not with your ear you will hear a still small voice say I am still here. I was born to live here some twenty-two years ago. The Lord said, Come, Annmarie for it is now time for you to go, come go with me and receive your reward on high, in that big city called Heaven up in the sky. Again I am asking that you do not cry, because like I said I have only gone home to meet Jesus in the sky. The day I went home was like a dream come true, because there is nothing like meeting the rest of my family that I knew. So If You Shed a Tear please let it be of joy, because now I can see my little boy. My daughter was too young to remember me, but I know that there are memories. Even though that they are short, there are enough for all of you to share with my children that I had care. Even though mommy had to go. There are lots of family and friend that will let you know how much I loved you so; I will never let you go. Again I am asking that you do not cry because my love for you will never die.

Rest in peace my perfect Angle Annmarie I love & miss you
mommy & daddy
