This is Amir's mom again sharing Amir's story with you...
They all told me that the first Holiday will be difficult but nobody said how difficult, specially when it came shortly after his birthday. It was difficult and painful!!! So, Talla(sis) planned a Sedona, AZ get away trip for Christmas and this is what I found there to share with Amir's Group:
My First Christmas In Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below with tiny lights
like heaven stars reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away the tears
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
but the sounds of music, can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, of the joy their voices bring
for it is beyond description, to hear the Angels sing.
I know how much you miss me; I see the pain inside your heart
but I am not so far away, we really aren’t apart.
So be happy for me dear ones; you know I hold you dear
and be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above
I sent you each a memory of MY UNDYING LOVE.
Christmas in Heaven
Tis Christmas in heaven, what a beautiful sight!
I want you to know everything is all right
The Crib is adorned with the brilliance of the stars
wise-men have come from near and far
I’ve met all dear ones who preceded, here
the reunion was lovely, and eventful of cheers.
and tonight we’ll all gather in reverence, we’ll kneel
for the babe in the cradle; up in heaven is real!
I think of my family that I left behind
and I pray that your Christmas is as blessed as mine
Please, shed no more tears for my soul is at rest
yes, it’s Christmas in heaven; so I’ve heard them say
yet, Christmas in heaven happens everyday!!!AF
"What can be said in New Year rhymes,
ReplyDeleteThat's not been said a thousand times?
The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.
We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that's the beauty of a year."
From a good friend by the name of Mehrsheed :).
I still hear the songs
ReplyDeleteI still see the light
I still feel your love
on cold wintery nights
I still share your hopes
and all your cares
I came here before you
to help set your place
To my family and friends
Please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way
I love you all dearly
now don't shed a tear
Cause I'm spending my
Chritsmas with Jesus this year
Afsaneh joon, Talla joon...wishing you both the best of this Norouz. We have missed Amir all throughout this year, and will continue to miss him in our lives. But we hope that this new year will bring some more peace and some more healing, and year after that and after that, knowing that Amir is watching and surfing the clouds each and every day (and maybe when he has time he will give a hand in helping raise baby birds and sprout spring blooms). We are forever thankful to have had him in our lives, have known him and loved him and laughed with him. And we love you and think of you and keep you both in our prayers this Norouz and always.
ReplyDeletemuch love.
