Gary And Stephen Armstrong

I was working in my garden just the other day, when a little neighbour girl ran up and blocked my way.

'Do you know you have an angel in your garden, over by the trees?'

With a gentle laugh, reserved for special times, I asked, 'does she have wings and a long white dress that shimmers in the breeze?'

'Yes' she said 'so you have seen her too, i'm so glad, because when I told my dad he said there were no such things ~ they were only make believe.'

She then skipped off, happy and complete, when she passed from view I turned and looked again toward the closest tree ~ And there ~ I swear ~ Was an angel smiling back at me. I walked over, expecting her to disappear, but as I got closer her features became more clear.

I stood there for a moment not knowing what to do. Finally I said 'does this mean it is time for me to go?' If you have never heard an angel laugh your life is not complete, for the words glow withwarmth, they are pure and kind and sweet.

'No actually, I come here often, to watch your steady pace, you know, flowers are among gods greatest gifts and this is such a restful place.'

'The why haven't I seen you, before this afternoon?'

'I suppose you've chosen not to ~ as most people do, well' she said 'it's time for me to go, I just stopped to rest in your garden ~ I enjoy the roses so' she assured me she would stop again and bring her friends by too, but as she left, this simple verse echoed in my mind.

SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND

Angel In My Heart
When I have no one to turn to
and I'm feeling kind of low
When there's no one here to talk to
and nowhere I want to go
I search deep down within myself
It is the love inside the heart
that let's me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart
A smile then appears upon my face
and the sun begins to shine
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet.
saying, 'Everything will be just fine!'
It may seem that I am alone,
but I am never by myself at all
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call
An Angels love is always true,
on that you can depend
They will always stand beside you
and will always be your friend.

For Margaret and Joe

Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama please don't cry~
'Cause I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.'
Please, try not to question God,
Don't think he is unkind
Don't think He sent me to you,
and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child,
and I'm needed up above
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you
and watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost,
that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze,
from a gentle wind that blows
That's me, I'll be there,
planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing,
and your heart feels a little tug,
That's me, I'll be there,
giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama don't your cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies
love forever Gary and Stephen xx

The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache
the other died with you,
I often lay awake at night
when the world is fast asleep,
and take a walk down memory lane
with tears upon my cheeks,
remembering you is easy
I do it everyday
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away,
I hold you tightly within my heart
and there you will remain...

old friends

'Best friends forever'
How many times have you said that phrase?
'I will always be there'
Was your words back in the days...

But people change
As time goes by
And feelings changes too
So old friendship die

'Our kids will play like us'
So innocent and sweet
Our memories bend us together
When our future lies at our feet

We played each day in the sun
Talked deep thoughts under the moon
And if you ask my opinion
It all were over to soon...

So farewell my beloved old friends
Even when you look at me as a stranger
Remember if you one day return
In me you will find no danger...

friends

Losing a friend is never easy
it hurts a lot but they wouldn`t
want you to be sad or hurt
yourself for them they would
want you to move on but always
remember them as a good person
and also your best friend so keep
them in your heart and even if
its a little weird talk to them every
once is a while they may not answer
back but they can still hear you and see you.

forever in my heart

I will never forget the day I heard each of you has passed over my heart was broken I could not believe it,my heart ached for your mum and dad and Angie and Joseph i always felt when we were growing up we were a family and though i did not see you as we got older i still felt the same way and still do now.
I met your mum today and it was so great to see her she told me about your site and we spoke about you both she spoke with such love in her heart she misses you so much.
I have had a bubble looking through this site as it brings such fond memories when we were young and had a laugh.
One day we will all laugh together again and for this i am thankfull as this is not goodbye but see you later.

love to you both and all your family,thanks to Lynda for making this possible for all of your loved ones.

love always Helenxx

the miracle of friendship

when I've had one of those days
you know what I mean
so I sit back and relax
and turn on my screen.

I'll talk to my friend
who know just what to say
to make my stresses go
and my troubles fade away.

My friend you're always there for me
whenever I feel blue
and though we've never met before
I know our friendship its true.

And although we haven't been friends for long
in this short time it seems
we shared so many things already
our hopes, our fears.

We come from different walks of life
but we share a common bond


So friend thanks for being there
whenever I've needed you
I know you're always there for me
and you know we are there for you.

love always henry~henry jur
