In Loving Memory of My Brother, Ted




Your loved one is no longer "dead in the past"-your loved one is now "fully alive in your future"-which is in Heaven



Words spoken by an Angel to a grieving mother













My brother passed away at the age of 18...he was my friend...My tears are because I miss you...I miss your smile, your wit, the sound of your voice....But oh, how blessed you are to be home....

My brother came back to me in a dream about one year after his death and the one thing he needed from me was: Forgiveness....once he had my forgiveness he was able to go home....


In his right hand he held the single red rose I placed in his arms at the funeral and in his front pocket was the 4 pictures I gave him so as to not forget us and in his left hand he held the poem I had written and placed beside his grave.



















The hardest part for me is that I see his friends and can't help but wonder who he'd be today, would he have a family? Would he have traveled like he talked about...? But then I think, I'm just being selfish because I want him here...when in reality, he couldn't be in a better place for he is with Jesus....So Dear Lord forgive me those moments that selfishness overcomes me.
