Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Derek"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?
Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.
Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.
The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.
No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Brother of yours.

Don't Judge Me - by Unknown Author
Don't judge me for how I left this world,
Remember the love I gave,
A lot of grief will follow me
For the decision that I made.
Changes appear in everyone's life
Some good, some bad,
The one I chose for myself
Made everyone very sad.
But in time the memories
will heal the hurt of hearts
And my presence will be felt by all
With an inner peace.
Remember me when the sun is bright
And laughter fills the air
And a moonlit night and a whisper of wind
Will tell you I am there.
Don't look down on my family
Or fill their hearts with blame
For my leaving them without good-byes
Has left them so much pain.
If I could go back in time
I would say a last good-bye
I would tell them to look to tomorrow
And for me, please do not cry.

A light that faded far too soon
Derek was my uncle and despite the fact I only have two clear memories of him I have never forgotten him and even now I share his memory with my wife and my two children. It was years before I knew he had died and it hit him hard to learn of his passing. I remember the first time I visited his grave and of the pain I felt at being there by his final resting place. I keep going back although to my shame it has been too long since I was last there. From what little I remember he was always kind and patient with a little boy who worshipped the ground that he walked upon. My one true regret is that I never got to know him like the rest of my family did but as long as I possess breath in my body his name and memory will never be forgotten. I just hope he found the peace he craved for so badly. I will never forget you uncle.
