MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM MY FAMILY TO YOUR FAMILY.
This is my poem that was published on the newsletter at the Annual Candle Lighting from The Compassionate Friends in my town.
Yesterday was a sad moment seeing my precious son Patrick's name and pictures on display among the children who were gone way too soon from us... Yesterday was also my Christmas moment in memory of my beautiful son Patrick Christian who has forever changed my life the day he left me empty, confused, and so alone to grieve!
Lighting a candle for my son Patrick
Before I lost my son Patrick
Lighting a candle was just a tradition
To get my prayers answered more quickly,
But today after I lost my son Patrick
Lighting a candle is a painful reminder
Of my greatest loss of a beautiful life cut
So short... My son Patrick.
Lighting a candle is now an unthinkable,
Unbearable reminder of so many hopes
And dreams taken away from me.
But in the depth of my sorrowful journey,
Lighting a candle is also precious
Memories of Patrick that are taken into my
Broken heart and shattered soul as a
Keepsake to keep his memories alive
Beyond my life on earth.
Lighting a candle for my son is my faith
In God to embrace Patrick's new life
As glorious and peaceful as His kingdom.
Lighting a candle for my son Patrick is a
Symbol of my eternal love for him
That I am his mom and he is my son for
Eternity, for love never dies but grows
Deeper.
Lighting a candle will always surround
The beautiful soul of Patrick wherever I am
To guide him into eternal life.
Lighting a candle says it all Son:
I love you
I miss you
I need you
I am here for you always
You see, God, lighting a candle is a
Must... A link from me a lost mother to my
Beautiful son Patrick.
O Lord, Let it Shine High and Bright!!!
Amen. Amen. Amen.
Dedicated to my son Patrick Christian

To put it simply I really miss you. I especially miss you during the holidays. Our winter of good feelings, going to see all the decorations, Christmas parties growing up in Sammy's basement, Astoria Manors, your house, everywhere...it was always a really fun time and I always connect it with you as well...
I miss you lovely but I'm sure it's a pretty big deal up in heaven as well.

Heaven is the home where spirits dwell
Who wandered here a while
And seeing things invisible,
Departed with a smile.
