Nicholas' Touch: A Ladybug Visit to Soothe our Soul

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.

A Ladybug Visit to Soothe our Soul

We saw a ladybug this morning.

Perfectly perched on our magnolia tree.

Peaceful and still.

A vibrant colour of red...

it reminded me of your hair.

The most perfect and gentle combination of crimson and auburn.

The ladybug landed and decided to stay for a while.

Kyle couldn't take his eyes off of it and I imagined what was swirling around in his innocent 5 year old head.

The ladybug flew away after several minutes... Kyle piped up;

"Mommy, he flew away. High in the sky to the real Nicholas."

Bless his beautiful heart.

We miss and think about you every day, sweet Nicholas.
