Nicholas' Touch: My Mini Trip

NICHOLAS WARREN REEVES

OUR SWEET ANGEL BABY

NOVEMBER 7, 2008

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

Before we said our first hello,

The time had already passed.

For when you held me in your arms,

I had gone to heaven to rest.

I felt angelic tears down my cheeks,

And I watched you as you wept.

I wish I could have changed it all,

Your tears touched my soul so deep

But mommy & daddy when you are sad,

Please be assured I know.

For death cannot take away your love,

It will only continue to grow.

When you are feeling far away,

And missing me so much.

Close your eyes and feel my wings,

Their soft and gentle touch.

Or at night as you sleep,

I will join you in a dream.

You will see me standing close to you.

And we’ll be lost within my wings.

So my dear mommy and daddy,

As you go from day to day,

Find comfort in the knowledge,

I am never that far away.

My Mini Trip

So, my trip to Ottawa was very, very nice. As we all say so often, the anticipation was much worse than the trip itself. I hadn't seen my wonderful friend in approx. 2 years. She is one of those friends you can just pick up with no matter how long it's been. We have always had a strong connection and this time was no different. In fact, I felt the connection even more with this visit.

I shared our sweet Nicholas with her. I shared his scrapbook, I shared some stories, we shared some tears. We talked a little about her pregnancy and her plans and that was okay. She is a beautiful person, a fantastic mom (I finally got to meet her almost 2 year old - cutie!) and a friend I am so honored to have in my life.

The Tulip Festival was on in Ottawa last week. Here are few of the shots. It was really, really beautiful.
