My Borrowed Angel, Derek Anthony Ripley was my lil bundle of joy that was taken from me too son. He was my youngest of 4 at the time, and of course was always with momma. I was nursing him until the day he passed in the emergency room. He was 1 yr, 1 month and 9 days old, forever a handsome lil angel. It has been 9 years since his passing and still I think of him all day. My children speak of him on a daily basis as well as if he still at home with us.. Actually he is, due to the cause of his death I had him cremated and he is home with me. In fact, we take him with us on holidays to my moms, and our family see's that we think of him still. Derek was silent and an observer during his brief stay, just smiled at everyone that stood before him. He was a great son that walked early and loved it when we were camping. I am so thankful for the memories and videos I still have of my lil one. I love and miss you son, will be with you again soon...Your brothers and sisters miss you so much too. Love Mommy...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK

Birthday Remembrance
Thinking of you on your birthday Derek
But that is nothing new
For no day dawns and no day ends
Without a thought of you.
We cannot send a birthday card,
Your hand we cannot touch,
But God will take our greetings
To the one we love so much.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK

Special Angel Day - by Carmelle Gross
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK.XxXxX

*♥~Bereaved Birthdays~♥*
*♥*
Birthdays are a time for celebration
Not a time for tears
But what happens when the birthdays
No longer mark the years?
*♥~♥*
A birthday marks the moment
A spirit enters earthly life
To share it's special love and joy
And learn from earthly strife.
*♥~♥~♥*
Before a spirit comes to us
It knows when and how it must depart
It chose it's path carefully
We are honoured from the start.
*♥~♥~♥~♥*
The sadness we now feel
On such a joyous day
Is longing for our loved one's touch
It's natural to feel this way.
*♥~♥~♥~♥~♥*
For even though the birthdays
No longer mark a spirit's stay
Love continues on forever
To touch us every day.
*♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥*
So hug your precious memories
Closer to your heart
And honour your beloved spirit child
Who chose you from the start.

Thinking of all family and friends today.Love n Hugs To All.xXxXx
Missing you baby
Just thought of the time I took you to Clear Lake...I remember how peaceful you were, when you were laying on the bed near a big window, and there was a huge Sleeping Willow tree right outside over the balcony. It was swaying, and your dad was outside below with your brothers in sisters in the cayaks... You and I were to be napping and taking a little break from the busy day we were having at the lake. I was looking at you from the kitchen, and I saw you smiling up at the tree, towards the sky...was the most beautiful moment..was like you were so peaceful looking above already talking with other angels...I knew you were special son. My pain has been easier to deal with year by year that passes, because I know you are up there too now son....Where that one day, you found peace while staring up at the sleeping willow tree and now you are one of those lil angels my dearest Derek....I love you so much...When we celebrated xmas last year (08) , grandma and papa couldn't believe we brought you with us to their house. As you can see, of course we miss you so much son...Its been 9 years and still we always are thinking of you. You are the strength of our lil family my son. I love you. Please watch over us , and we will someday all be together. Always loving and thinking of you, Your mommy (Nia Marie) ps. your brothers and sisters are doing a fine job of keeping me busy though lol.....we love ya!!!!
