Beyond the distant star, I wish upon tonight to see you smile, If only for a while, to know you're there.

Our thread to honour and remember our precious children who sadly are not 'physically' here xxxxx

The words of the Josh Groban song:-

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for a while
To know you're there
A breathe away not far
To where you are.

xxxxx

Morning ladies

Just popping my head round the door to show my continued support, and gratitude, to you all.

xx

Good to see you - I was determined to start a new thread - even if it meant talking to myself all day - something that happens quite regularly in our house

Thanks for the link Lottie - I adore that song - so beautiful xxx

I'll keep popping in Shabs, can't have you getting lonely

How are you? Hows Lewis?
xx

Im OK - slightly shell shocked but I'm OK

....and Lew? My minature Mick Hucknell? He is wonderful xxxx

Lovely to hear .. although I am sure that description does not do him justice! xx

Am glad i heard it and posted it originally

Hello

Can I plant my sunflowers again? Actually, what I'd like to do is give everyone a little sunflower (does such a thing exist?). I think we need things that smile at the moment :)

Helia - plant away my friend!!

...and, yes, Im sure little sunflowers exist. Think it is PPM who likes them - but dont quote me on that because Im struggling to remember my own name today

Ben Harper -

I'm leaving here on the morning train
and I will never see this world again
I've felt pleasure
and I have felt pain
and I know now
that I can never be the same

How I wonder why the world can be so cold
and if only good die young
then left with me cruel here to grow old
and I felt pleasure
an I felt pain
and I know now
I can never be the same

And if someday I find my peace of mind
I will share my wealth with all of human kind
I've felt pleasure
and I have felt pain
and I know now
that I can never be the same

So if the sun does shine or rain does fall
I give thanks I've had my sight to see through it all
and I've felt pleasure
and I have felt pain
and I know now
that I can never be the same

:) :(

Beautiful poem - thank you love xxx

For some reason the live video makes it even more poignant, and the "double-edged sword" is particularly true in my case. :(

AFTERNOON GIRLSXXXX

Butterfly
As you danced in the light with joy,
love lifted you. As you brushed against
this world so gently, you lifted us.

I have it on my FB but just incase you havent seen it x

Lovely, lovely thread title, Shabbs.

Slinking in and out as I do on every new thread still here, still lurking.

Can i post this here? I saw it and thought it apt...

" When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne, let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted into which our grief has given us entrance, and inevitably,
we will feel about us their arms, their empathy, their understanding and most of all, their love."

• Helen Keller.
