Through a Mother’s Eyes

On December 4, 1979, the Lord blessed my life with a beautiful daughter. Kasey after God allowed me to hold you gentle into my arms, I knew that I had been touched by an angel and knew her by name. But, at the time little did I know that I would never witness your beautiful smile as you would walk down the isle on your wedding day, or even bring life to this earth, much less know that our time together would be so short, but yet your life would have so much meaning. When Jesus took you home to heaven, he didn’t just take up your spirit with him, he took a part of my heart also. I do know one thing; he will keep your soul warm until our spirits meet again. Until that day comes, I will keep your memory alive by telling every soul I meet about my beautiful blue eye daughter that gave me so much love, happiness, beautiful memories, but most of all, you showed Momma so much faith, just flowing like a river from your big heart for Jesus. Kasey, Momma was so proud of you the way you handled your test of faith. I can’t thank you enough for our last Moment’s together here on earth. When I asked for you to please tell me that you love me just one more time, I could tell that you were trying so hard to say I love you, but you never gave up, you wiggled your tongue for love you and I thank you for putting those memories in my heart. I love you and miss you so much. There isn’t one minute out of the day that my thoughts doesn’t swing up to heaven just visualize you walking the streets of gold and singing loud as the angels above. I thank you my beautiful soul, for all the signs that you send down from heaven to all of us. I can still feel your spirit, the only difference is, that I miss your flesh. But, remember the day that I held up your paralyzed arm next to mine and I told you that there isn’t any difference between your arm or mine, because it was just flesh, it’s what you do for Jesus while you are here on earth that counts. Well sweetheart, you proved to Momma and lots of people on God’s earth just how right I was. All your earthly birthdays, Christmas or any holidays, will always be remembered with a smile and the love that you had in your heart for Jesus. Until our spirits meet again, tell Jesus that Momma said thank you for answering so many of our prayers and I was honored that he chose our family to do his work here on earth. I’m so sorry that you had to suffer so much. I’m looking forward to the day we reunite Kasey, for eternity with Jesus. I can remember the day when you couldn’t feel me touching your flesh and now today I may not be able to touch your flesh, but I can feel you touching my spirit all the way from heaven. Remember what Momma told you when your spirit was soaring up to heaven, I never told you goodbye, I told you I’ll see you later. Kasey, every time that I talk to anyone about you and they ask me how I can be so strong to talk about what happened and not cry. Please know that the reason why I don’t cry or get weak in my faith is, because I don’t want to give the devil any glory. I give it all to Jesus and my beautiful angel up in heaven.

God Bless you my angel in heaven!

Love and miss and all my kisses,
Momma

Through a stepfathers eyes

Dear Kasey, The first day I ever met you, your smile caught my eyes. You were almost ten years old. Even though I wasn’t your father, I know I always tried to show you love and compassion. Watching you grow up was special for me, as I tried my best to be there for you. You had a unique laugh and giggle. Now since you’re in heaven, I only try to remember those big smiles and giggles and all the fun times. Your mother and I terribly miss you and never will forget our journey together with you. You showed me amazing faith and strength with your condition. Many nights sitting by your hospital bed at our home, I had to look at your pretty eyes and I wish I could have changed places with you. It ripped my heart out so many times. I couldn’t help your pain or answer your questions. We all know that God’s master plan was greater than all of us. You helped give strength and love to so many around us with your story and showed many how they should be thankful for what they have and realize that many are in much worse condition. We all are fast to feel sorry for ourselves and get down, but only to see you and your journey and so many struggles and mainly how you battled so hard and with gigantic determination and never gave up attitude. Many became empowered by you and strengthened their faith by your smile, by your spirit and never quit attitude.

Your life was short, but your impact on thousands of people will be forever. Your journey to heaven stands out above others for a reason. God used you and us to show others how to stick together, how to believe, and how to rely on our faith, not money or luck. I will forever miss you, until we meet in heaven again.

Love, Brian
