Nicholas' Touch: Watching over his sister....

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.

Watching over his sister....

My husband bought some shelves the other day. Three corner shelves to hang above Madison's cradle in our bedroom. The idea was to put some special momentos on them, including some of Nicholas' things. I have arranged and rearranged them a hundred times. Nicholas' picture and memory box are there, as are his ashes (man, I find it hard to even type that words - his ashes - sigh...).

He now literally watches over his sister.

As she sleeps.

I know she is well taken care of.

Love you, Buddy.
