I finally got a few pics of my dad, thanks to my sister Denise.
My dad was 66 when he died. He had 4 children, a wife and 9 grandchildren and now 2 beautiful
granddaughters. He is from Baltimore, Maryland USA. My dad worked hard all his life. He worked two
jobs, just to support us. He nevered ask for anything in return. He passed away from complications
from diebeties. He was very proud of my sister Denise and my brother Don. Denise is a nurse, she was
been a nurse since the age of 17. Denise graduated high school and had been in nursing since then.
She and my brother, Don, both are hard workers like my dad. We all miss him so much. I can't wait to
see him again. One day we all will. We love you dad and always will.

♥ The Hearts Library.♥

� Sarah Blackstone.

Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.

Id put the moment in a safe,
within my hearts abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.

I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me,
through everything I've done.

I sat and thought about what moment,
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me,
to walk that extra mile.

If I'm feeling sad and low,
if I'm struggling with what to do.
I can go and open my little safe,
and watch my moment through.

There are moments I can think of,
that would lift my spirits everytime.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.

For me to only pick one moment,
to cherish, save and keep,
Is proving really difficult,
as I've gathered up a heap!

I've dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside,
there was room for lots of moments,
in fact hundreds if I tried.

Am building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you,
before you had to part.

I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through,
My little library acts as a promise,
I'll never ever forget you.

♥═══♥ Tears.♥═══♥

♥═══♥
Tears are delightful expressions
Of happiness, sorrow, and love,
Made to release deep emotions,
A special gift sent from above.
♥═══♥
When seeing sweet thoughts of a loved one
Midst memories of days of old,
A tear finds a cheek in the moonlight
As thoughts reach deep in the soul.
♥═══♥
In moments of anger, frustrations and grief,
When happy thoughts flee like a thief,
Running away with our hopes and our cares,
A tear brings welcome relief.
♥═══♥
If unwanted sorrow consumes us
And life seems so hard to bear,
With time a soul is healed,
Restored with the help of a tear.
♥═══♥
Sun and beauty bring health to the soul
Through all of the days of our lives,
Deepest feelings of thanks are expressed
Through tears which appear in our eyes.
♥═══♥
Be grateful for tears for their presence
Restores our most glorious thoughts
Of laughter, compassion and loving,
The most precious gifts of all.
♥═══♥

ITS HARD TO HIDE A BROKEN HEART.........

HOW CAN ANYONE SEE MY BROKEN HEART
THEY WOULD NOT KNOW WHERE TO START
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING ANYONE CAN SEE
MY HEART IS HIDING INSIDE OF ME

I SURE THAT IF IT COULD BLEED IT WOULD
PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF ARE MISUNDERSTOOD
WE ARE ALL HURTING AND IN SO MUCH PAIN
LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN

THE TEARS OF SADDNESS I CANNOT HELP BUT WEEP
MY BROKEN HEART IS MINE ALONE TO KEEP
ONLY ANOTHER PERSON LIKE MYSELF WOULD KNOW
JUST HOW HARD IT IS TO LET OUR REAL FEELINGS SHOW........

♥ A Shade of Sadness. ♥


In comes the darkness to my soul
even as I sit in the early morning sun,
the distant sounds of the living
seem far removed from the fogginess of my mind.

In the stillness of the house
which seems quieter than quiet,
time seems to pass too slowly.

A feeling of being outside myself
looking back into an empty shell
of the person I used to be.

I cry for my former self.
That person I once liked and enjoyed.
She is gone.
A loss within a loss, within a loss.

A heaviness in my heart,
the weight of a million tears.
Drowning my emotions,
mixing and swirling in a pool of despair.
Ugly hateful despair.

A sadness so deep and heavy
leaving the body tired and used,
I feel I could sleep,
sleep for a thousand years and never wake up.

A thousand years will not change a thing.
You would still not be here.
What to believe, I don't know.
I just don't know. My soul is lost.

I know not which way to turn.
Where to look,

I feel helpless,
helpless to help my self,
annoyed with the daily things of life I must do.

I don't care, not anymore.
The world could fall upon it's knees
it would not matter,
I am too shrouded in the darkness of my world
that spins ever out of control,
directing my emotions
with no warning as to what feelings
will be brought upon me next.

There is guilt, another weight to bear.
Those who are with me, who I love and love me,
they need me, but I am not ready.
I hold them back at arms length,
I am not ready,
their demands draw on what strength I have left.
For that I am sorry,
but I cannot help bringing on the emotional distance.
There is a need to protect myself,
but from what I am not sure.

There is anger.
Anger that occasionally swells within me.
There is no direction into which to fling this anger.
It is a new and different type of anger
not one I am familiar with and it disturbs me.
It makes me afraid.

I try to be strong. For you, and only you.
I try to think what you would have me do.

I know you would want me to live my life.
To continue on. It is not an easy task, not at all.

Some days I can go out
and meet the world with vigor and say I do this for you.

Some days I must crawl into my shell
and hide from the world that has been so cruel to me.
I am trying.

The days are filled with thoughts of you,
and should I find myself not thinking of you,
I gasp for fear that I am forgetting you.

I have learned to value life, you have taught me this.
To see the beauty in each day given to me,
even through this veil of sad darkness.
I know it is there waiting for me.

Someday the sadness will lift
and I will only think of you
with a smile and warmness in my heart.
My love for you will always be there
that shall never pass
and I hope somehow you know this too.

Your memory is only a heartbeat away.
I shall always love,
I shall always long for you,
I shall always wish to have you back.
And I shall live -- if only for you.


WITH ALL MY LOVE, I WILL BE GONE FOR 2 WEEKS,ANTHONY'S GIRLFRIEND IS COMING TO VISIT ME, TILL JULY 24. TILL THEN ALL OUR BEAUTIFUL ANGELS WILL BE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. LOVE GLORIA ANTHONY'S MOM XOXO

Up in the sky our angels sleep
The beautiful angels
that we wanted to keep

As we sit here all alone
we think of only you
We think of how we love you
And how much we miss you too

We miss you like crazy
We sometimes think we are going mad
We simply can’t stop thinking
Of the beautiful angel we had

The minutes feel like hours
Hours feel like days
The clock is ticking so slowly
Since the day you went away

We know life goes on without you
We do try to get through
But life will never be as nice
As life was when we had you

MY MEMORIES OF YOU...

My memories of you will last forever
I remember all the good times..
That we shared together
I think of you with beauty and grace
And I know that you are safe..
In a better place
I did not want to say goodbye
For now I'm so alone
And I sit here and cry

My memories of you I promise to keep
I shall try and be strong
And try not to weep
I know you are all around me..
Night and day
And in my heart you will always stay

My memories of you I shall treasure
I will hold them close to my broken heart
I still love you now
Like I did from the start

My memories of you smother me with love
For you are my precious angel
In heaven above

The angel came down to earth
And gave me some angel wings

I look down on my family
And watch them day by day
I know my family need me
But I am so far away

I know you are asking
Where did you go wrong
And why does it hurt so much
And how do you go on

But please understand my family
You are still very dear to my heart

I will always love and miss you
And will welcome you when you come home

I send you my love always
Your angel xXx
