Two Poems For Nora Elizabeth's 2nd Birthday
For
Nora's Family
For Christine, Bear, Corey and Abby
Nora is in Heaven
and we celebrate 2 years.
2 years of tough emotions
and of painful grief and
tears.
Today we thought of her
with laughter and with pain
and we took a moment
to pray, despite the rain.
What a difference her little
life
has made upon our hearts,
We never knew how very much
until the day it all did
start.
And as much as we wish
that she were here today,
the fact that she is gone,
makes Heaven seem not so
far away.
So Happy Birthday Nora,
we say without you here,
and until we meet again,
know that you are always
held dear.

Wishes for Nora Elizabeth...
Nora, Happy Birthday Little
Girl!
Our little Angel up above,
we feel you as the
Radiant sun breaks through
the clouds
A day we remember a lifetime
you shared.
Eternal love, eternal light
Little one who shines so
bright
In our hearts you stay so
close, your
Zest for life, you never
lost
Angel in heaven, looking
down
Breaking through the clouds
of darkness
Easing softly into our souls
Taking us in your arms
Holding us in your heart,
together forever

Note
Nora Elizabeth's 2nd birthday
is on June 3rd. We all miss
her very much and wanted
to let her & her parents
know that we are thinking
of her. Our hearts to all
of you on this day when
family and friends should
be with you over birthday
candles, messy cake, and
silly gifts. Our hearts
to you because those same
friends and family should
be with you today anyway
to have cake with memorial
candles and to offer you
support. You are not alone.
And *all* your angels are
proud of you for the amazing
work you do in this world
to help other bereaved parents.
xoxoxox and much love from
Hawk & Kara!
