Wow has it really been 4 years now since you took that flight home to be with the angels on high? I can't believe that it has been four long years since your mom and I first met, Sarah. Four years of friendship, tears, laughter, hugs and crying. Though your mom and I have a treasured friendship I would have rather met at a playgroup with you and her there playing with my own son, who is exactly 6 mths older than you. However,God had other plans for your mom, and so this is how we met instead.

Lit in Honor of Sarah Jean Vinette 12-10-98

As the tree goes up

As the lights are strung

the stockings all placed

Well, all but one.

the gifts are all wrapped

and placed lovingly under our tree

I included one, just for you.

Though it remains unopened,

its there for us all to see

The gapping reminder of whats not to be

One tiny gift, is all I have

Tiny, yet important to me

for it stands for the child I miss

The one that beat me to Heaven's door.

How I wish I could see you open it

and see the joy on your face

There's nothing I wouldn't do

Just for one Christmas with you.

I'd give you back to the Father,

and I wouldn't complain,

if he would just grant me this one day.

But this can't happen

So this gift remains sealed

this one precious gift,

the one that reminds me of you.

Like the pearl that you are in my eye

This gift is just that.

One special little pearl, that each year I will add.

A new pearl each year that you are gone

What a string i will have,

When I join you in Heaven one sweet day.

So till then my pearl you will always be.

Merry Christmas Baby to you from me.
