For My Daughter
Fly like a butterfly my sweet Susie Q. I pray that God took you by the hand and took you with him to the world of peace, love and no more pain.
You were my step-daughter and my friend. You were your father’s daughter. You were a daughter, a sister, a mother and a friend. You never questioned, angered or cried.
You lived everyday with optimism and a busy social calendar. You loved your children fiercely and you were daddy’s girl.
You never left my door or hung up a phone without saying ‘I love you’, every time we said good-bye.
Thank you for always calling me your ‘sparkly’ step-mother even though we were barely two years apart.
I will always remember you Sue for being the first one to accept me into your family. You were so happy for your father and you and I grew an instant bond.
I will always remember your beautiful smile, your love to laugh and I will miss our long private talks and your presence in my life. I love you Susie Q. May God Bless You. xoxoxoxoxo

How sorry I am to hear of your loss – a loss especially inexplicable when it happens to someone so young. May this short video (please excuse the ad before it) bring courage and love to your heart.

Ahhh Debbie,
I am so sorry that I have been out of commission and such a bad friend keeping up with reading!!!! I am so sorry for your loss. I know that you shared that you were going through this but I guess I didn’t realize that it was what it was. I wish that I could be there for you in a better way than just sending you cyber hugs and prayers for your family that you can find some kind of peace knowing that she is in a better place. May God send Angels to let you know just that!
I am so sorry Deb.
Sending Love!
xoxo

Life is what we have in our hands today. It is so brief we can blink and it is gone. Death reminds us to cherish it and those we love. Though it is the worse way to be reminded of someone. My thoughts are with you.

Thanks for your thoughts and wisdoms Diane. Your quote is often something I say to others when they are complaining of their woes of the world. Never take anything for granted. Enjoy the little things and don’t sweat the small stuff. Thank you my friend. xo

It had been too long since I read your blogs. I’m on the road and only doing the necessities, so I fell behind when I wish I hadn’t. I’m sorry I didn’t keep better track so I would know Susie had escaped from what must have been an uncomfortable and unhappy body. I wish her all the things in your poem. So beautifully said. And I wish your husband the comfort of dreams and the two of you the closeness that’s available when Death comes close to home.
Peace to you and may she soar,
Elaine

What a beautiful tribute to someone you obviously loved with your whole heart. It seems clear to me that she loved you back in the very same way. I can only imagine she still feels the love between you, for it comes across as something that can transcend worlds.
Be well.

Thanks so much for your kindness. There are never appropriate words to say. But the prayers and thoughts have been plentiful and inspiring. We are moving on with fuller hearts. A new place is tucked in our hearts where we keep our sweet Sue. Thank you so much ETS for your thoughts and prayers. 🙂
