In just a few days, it will be the birthday of my first child, Leslie Susan, who would be 44 years old on March 21st, had she lived. She left this Earth on July 5, 2002 much too soon for the ones who she left behind. She was a sweet, beautiful girl and I will never stop loving and missing her. As I do always, I will release balloons to the sky from her brother, sister and myself to let her know that she will never be forgotten. I would also like to post this poem:
The Cord We are connected
My child and I,
by An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye
It’s not like the cord
That connects us “till Birth”
This cord can’t be seen
By any on Earth
This cord does its’ work
Right from the start
It binds us together
Attached to my heart
I know that it’s there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe
It can’t be destroyed
It can’t be denied
It’s stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight
And though you are gone
Though you’re not here with me
The cord is still there
But no one can see
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised… I am sore
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before
I am thankful that
God Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can’t take it away!
I will always love you sweet baby girl, but I know that you are safe in the hands of the Lord. We will be together in Heaven forever and I will again hold you in my arms. You are missed, sweet baby girl.....................
Your Mother
