IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET

THIS IS THE BEAUTIFUL GRAVE MARKER THEY USE UNTIL THE MONUMENT

ARRIVES. I LOVE SEEING HER BEAUTIFUL PICTURE. YOU CAN'T TELL IT

BUT THE PICTURE TO THE LEFT IS A BUTTERFLY.

YOU CAN SURE SEE THE HENNESSEY RED SHELL DIRT. WE ARE GOING TO ADD SOME OF OUR

OWN DIRT AND MAKE THE SOIL RICH. RICHARD, MY DH AND I WERE TO

AMY'S RESTING PLACE TONIGHT. WE RAKED AND TOOK THE OLD CONTAINERS SO WE

CAN MAKE THANKSGIVING ARRANGEMENTS. WE TOOK OUT JUST ONE OF HER SOLAR LIGHT

BUTTERFLIES AND WE WILL SEE HOW THE ONE WORKS. SHE LOVED THEM SO AND

RICHARD WOULD BRING THEM IN AND STICK THEM IN THE COUCH WHICH THEY GLOWED

DIFFERENT COLORS ALL NIGHT LONG. SHE MAY HAVE BEEN 33 YEARS OLD

BUT HER HEART WAS YOUNG AND FULL OF WHIMSY AND THAT IS WHY SHE

LOVED ME TO READ TO HER. IT WAS A SPECIAL TIME FOR US.

THE VAULT WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE TO US. IT HAD A GORGEOUS

BUTTERFLY IN AN OVAL FRAME AND THEN A PLAQUE AT THE BOTTOM WITH HER

NAME AND BIRTH YEAR AND GOING HOME YEAR. I KNOW IT IS UNDERGROUND

AND NOBODY WILL EVER SEE IT BUT IT WAS A LOVELY GIFT FOR ANDERSON

BURRIS TO DO....IT IS THEIR WAY OF SHARING WHAT WAS IMPORTANT TO AMY

AND HER LITTLE CASKET WAS FULL OF BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES.

SOME FUNNY THINGS DO OCCUR. MY DARLING 89 YEAR OLD MOTHER IN LOVE

COULD HARDLY CONCENTRATE ON THE FUNERAL BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT THE

CASKET SPRAY COST 1,000.00. FOR SOME REASON THAT CRACKED ME UP.

TO BE AS SMALL AS WE HAD IT MADE, IT HAD 36 LAVENDER FLOWERS PUT IN

AMONG BRIGHT PINK SHASTA DAISIES. I DON'T THINK THERE WERE ANY SHASTA

DAISIES OR BUTTERFLIES LEFT, IN THE TOWN OF ENID.

WE PUT THE QUILT THAT MICHELLE MADE FOR HER WHEN SHE FIRST WENT

TO THE HOSPITAL. http://rosebudquilting.blogspot.com

I THOUGHT AND THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING THE LITTLE QUILT WITH AMY

BUT CHANGED MY MIND.....SOME TIME, 100 YEARS FROM NOW, MY ONLY SON AND

DAUGHTER IN LOVE MIGHT HAVE CHILDREN AND THOSE GRAND KID'S CLIMBING

AROUND ON AMY'S QUILT WILL BE LIKE THEM CRAWLING OVER AMY, AS IF SHE WAS WITH US.

AMY HAS JOURNEYED HOME TO BE WITH JESUS BUT SHE IS STILL MY ONLY DAUGHTER

WHO I CHERISH, LOVE, ADORE, AND AM HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME LIVING

WITH OUT. I AM TRYING TO DO ALL THE THINGS......LAST SATURDAY RICHARD

TOOK ME TO AMY'S HOUSE. I WAS SO OVERCOME WITH GRIEF, I HAD TO GET

OUT OR PASS OUT.

TEARS.....TEARS.....TEARS.........

TEARS IN FEAR.....

I JUST CAN'T FORGET YOUR FACE BABY GIRL

OR HOW WHEN YOUR TIRED, YOU TWIRL YOUR CURLS

ALWAYS WORRYING ABOUT SOMEBODY ELSE...

WANTING THEIR DAY TO BE BRIGHT

BUT MORE TIMES THAN NOT........

BUT MORE TIMES THAN NOT... YOU WERE LEFT ALONE

CRYING IN THE INVINCIBLY DIM SPOTLIGHT

YOU WERE ORDAINED INTO THE ROYAL FAMILY JULY 1995

SO EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE NOUGHT HERE WITH ME NOW

YOU ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF OUR LORD

WHERE YOUR ART AND DISPLAYS ARE APPRECIATED BY THE KING

JESUS LOOKS FORWARD TO ALWAYS SEEING YOUR SMILE AND THE ANGELS

LOVE IT WHEN YOU HUM A HAPPY AMY TUNE

HOW CAN I EVER BAKE CUPCAKES WITHOUT YOU...THAT WAS YOUR JOB.....

BESIDES YOUR APRON FIT YOUR LITTLE BODY AND I DON'T HAVE A FAT APRON

AMY I AM TRYING TO BE AS BRAVE AS YOU WERE BATTLING THE CANCER

BUT DADDY AND I WERE THERE CHEERING YOU ON..........YOU'RE NOT HERE

I PRAY THAT YOU ARE CHEERING US ON FROM THE GRAND STANDS OF HEAVEN

BECAUSE THIS IS A PRETTY HUGE TASK

I KNOW WE HAD YOU 33 YEARS WHICH SOME HAVE SAID I SHOULD BE THANKFUL

FOR......WE HAVE BATTED FOR YOUR LIFE FOR 33 YEARS....IT HAS NOT ALWAYS

BEEN MEMORIES OF ROSES AND LACE BUT 4 YEARS CHEMO STARTING AT AGE 10 1/2 WHICH WAS ENDLESS VOMITING....152 HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS THE FIRST YEAR....NOT THE DAYS WE STAYED.

WE DIDN'T JUST HAVE 33 PERFECT YEARS AND THEN AMY BECAME ILL.

I THINK NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU HAD YOUR CHILD WHEN GOD COMES TO TAKE THEM

HOME IT IS NEVER ENOUGH TIME. WE ARE NEVER READY TO GIVE THEM UP...WE WOULD ALL

PLEAD FOR ONE MORE DAY.

I WANTED YOU, AMY GIRL TO STAY....I WAS HYPERVENTILATING AS I SAW THOSE QUIET

GASPS LEAVING YOU.....I TRIED TO GET A PULSE AND THERE WAS NO PULSE...YOU WERE BLEEDING FROM YOUR PEG TUBE, TRACH, FOLEY...........I PUT MY HEAD ON YOU AND AS SICK AS YOU WERE, I BEGGED YOU TO COME BACK. I THOUGHT RICHARD AND I WAS GOING TO DIE AND LEILA HAD NEVER BEEN

AROUND A DEAD BODY. SHE DID AMAZINGLY BUT WAS STILL OVERCOME. MY MOTHER

WENT TO MAKING PHONE CALLS AS IF NONE OF IT WAS REAL. SHE WAS IN SHOCK. BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB.

THE TALL ARRANGEMENT WAS SENT BY BARBARA THE PURPLE GOAT LADY. IT HAD

GORGEOUS TEXAS BLUE BELLES. SHE WAS ATTENDING HER FRIENDS FUNERAL WHOSE

HUSBAND DROPPED OVER DEAD VERY UN EXPECTANTLY.


BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

THANK YOU MY FRIENDS FOR ALL THE CARDS, ENCOURAGING MESSAGES AND JUST A

LISTENING EAR. YOU FIND OUT MANY POSITIVE AND MANY UGLY THINGS WHEN A

LOVED ONE PASSES ON AND THAT WAS THE CASE WITH AMY. I AM SO VERY HAPPY

THAT SHE WAS NOT HERE TO ENDURE IT...IT WOULD HURT HER FEELINGS

IT IS SO VERY SAD WHEN YOU LOOSE A CHILD OF ALL THINGS, AND THEN THE SOOTHE SAYERS

COME TO BARBEQUE YOU. I DON''T CARE ANYMORE BECAUSE I SERVE

THE KING OF KINGS

AND THE LORD OF LORDS.

HE WILL VINDICATE ME, GIVE ME REST,

GIVE ME PROMOTIONS AND BETTER EQUIP ME TO SERVE HIM.........

AND THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALWAYS FOREMOST

"BEING ABOUT THE FATHERS BUSINESS."



I AM TRYING TO GET ON TO A FUN BLOG YOU WILL LOVE TO COME TO BUT RIGHT

NOW IT IS BABY STEPS FOE ME.

I HURT WITH A PAIN I HAVE NEVER HAD BEFORE...IT EASES BUT THEN GRABS YOU

LIKE A HEART ATTACK AND SOMETIMES IT IS SO NUMB AND SILENT YOU WANT TO

SCREAM TO SEE IF YOU ARE IN A NIGHTMARE

OH TO LOSE A CHILD IS TO LEAVE A BIG HOLE IN YOUR HEART

ANGEL HUGS

LOVE
