Heavens Rejoice, Michael is home! We, his family, are sobbing but we know he is in a better place. We have our own angel. We will miss you Michael but we will always love you. As your father wrote to me, "It is over, may God bless my son."

I think you are right Sara. How sad to read but I am glad he is nor suffering anymore. I am going to light a few more candles tonight in honor of Micheal and all who we have lost to this tragic disease

An Angel Child

Once in awhile an Angel child,

chooses to come to the earth

With gifts from above

He brings so much love

To those who wait for their sweet angels birth

Once in awhile an angel child

Struggles while he's on the earth

Salvation made sure

Great trials he'll endure

as he teaches us life's infinite worth

Sweet angel child

heavens light fills your eyes,

Unspoken love fills your soul

You wait patiently

Your dreams set you fee

May the dreams in your heart all come true

by Holden Ramos' Mama



I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, "I know."

I said, "God, I cry a lot."
And God said, "That is why I gave you
tears."

I said, "God, I am so depressed."
And God said, "That is why I gave you
Sunshine."

I said, "God, life is so hard."
And God said, "That is why I gave you
loved ones."
I said, "God, it hurts."

And God said, "I know."
I said, "God, my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."

I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said, I saw mine nailed to a
cross."

I said, "God, but your loved one lives."
And God said, "So does yours."

I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said, "Mine is on My right and
yours is in the Light."

So sad. Prayers and peace to the Sparkman family. Glad for no more suffering. So heartbreaking. Don't quite have the right words. Just so sad.

So tragic--another person--a child in this case--lost to this dreaded disease.

I am in tears.

I hate this damn disease.

So sad, so terribly sad.

That little man fought with all he had.

Prayers for strength and comfort for Michael's family.
