THE FOLLOWING
WAS WRITTEN BY ANISSA
IN ONE OF
HER CLASSES LAST YEAR
On
August 30, 1984, a wonderful thing was placed on this earth, me: - My parents
were so proud. Since I was the first born, I was spoiled. In six
years, everything would change. My mom had a little boy, and I had
to share my toys and be nice! At that time, I didn't want to be nice. Four
years later, my life fell apart. My parents got a divorce.
I wanted to
quit, but I didn't. When we began to move around, I really wanted
to quit. We finally settled down and my mom had two jobs. My brother and
I mainly raised ourselves. Then, my life drastically changed again.
My mom met Rex, my soon to be step-dad.
About three
months later, we moved to Scott, and I started high school. Being in a
new school, with new friends, and new teachers scared me. I went
to church with my new best friend one day, and found my first, true love.
We have been dating for one year and almost two months but half of that
time we couldn't see each other, and again, I wanted to quit.
When I started
my first real job, I was so excited. I would finally have my own
money, not mom's anymore. When my grandma died, I was devastated,
And with Ryan's death, I'm slowly recovering from that. I still want to
quit, But I know the only way to become stronger is never to quit!!
Then, what
I thought was my first true love came to an end. I so desperately
wanted to quit. But my life changed for the better on May 19, 2001
Dustin and I started dating. He and his daughter became my world.
A few months later my mom, brother and Rex moved to Egan. Once again
I didn't want to move. I stayed in Scott not knowing which way to
turn. I wanted to quit, but I couldn't.
In time Dustin
and my love grew so strong. He and his family took me under their
wings. Like all relationships, Dustin and I didn't always agree.
When we were hurting I would think about quitting. But, I know the
only way to become stronger is never to quit!
~THE
CORD~
~Author Unknown~
We are connected,
my child and
I
by an invisible
cord,
not seen by
the eye.
It's not like
the cord,
that connects
us "til birth"
this cord
can't be seen,
by any on
earth.
This cord does
it's work,
right from
the start,
the invisible
cord,
from my child
to me.
The strength
of this cord,
is hard to
describe,
it can't be
destroyed,
it can't be
denied.
It's stronger
than any cord,
man could
create,
it withstands
the test,
can hold any
weight.
And though
you are gone,
though you're
not here with me,
the cord is
still there,
but on one
can see.
It pulls at
my heart ~
I am bruised
~ I am sore,
but this cord
is my lifeline,
as never before.
I am thankful
that God
connects us
this way,
a parent and
child,
death can't
take that away.
~ANISSA
OUR ANGEL~
Anissa to you
I send my love
Way up high
in the sky above
Looking down
on us below
When we'll
meet again no one knows
We will love
you for all eternity
In our hearts
you'll always be
As we go on
we will change but,
We'll never
forget that wonderful name
We will take
you with us everyday
We'll never
forget that angelic face
Wish you could
be my our sides
But you are
in a better place in the skies
We will love
and miss you dearly.

~IF
WE COULD HAVE YOU BACK~
~Author Unknown~
If we could
have you back for just one day,
There would
be so many things we would like to say.
If we could
just be with you for one whole day,
To have you
close and know that you really are okay.
If we had known
that you would be gone forever,
If we had
known all those ties were going to be severed,
If we had
know the pain, the loss, and the ache,
If we had
known the difference without you would make.
In the darkness
you slipped away from us all,
Now it's just
your memories that we have to recall,
They say that
parting is such sweet sorrow,
But it's the
longing, the wondering and how to cope with tomorrow.
They say that
grieving a child is the very worst,
'Cause life's
plan is that the parents should go first.
Now all we
have are memories, the good time that we had,
We spend so
much time in tears, and pain and feeling sad.
So if we could
have you back for just one day,
You could
let us know how to cope until judgment day.
When we'll
be together as a family once again,
When we'll
be happy and free from all this pain.
Oh! It's hard
to live when your child has to die,
Then we spend
our lifetime trying to say Goodbye!
~FRIENDS
FOR ALL ETERNITY~
Friends forever,
you promised.
"Together
till the end"
We did everything
with each other
You were my
best friend.
When I was
sad, you were by my side.
When I was
scared, you felt my fear.
You were my
best support
If I needed
you, you were there.
You were the
greatest friend,
You always
knew what to say.
You made everything
seem better.
As long as
we had each other,
Everything
would be Okay.
Now I am faced
to live without you,
For you have
left me.
But I guess
this is all in God's Hands.
He needed
an angel, and it just
Happened to
be my best friend.
So now I just
look at the sky and think
Wow! I have
the perfect angel to watch over me.
I will always
remember you,
For you are
not here in body
But I do know
you are here forever in my heart.
And I guess
that will have to do.
I love you
for all eternity.
And please
~ wait for me, patiently.
Love your best
friend and sister
Niclole K.

ANISSA,
I'm
writing this today, because, I'm thinking of your birthday. You would be
18 years old. My Beautiful young lady. I've Missed you so much, I hurt
so deep, I didn`t think it was possible to go on. I know I have too, but,
sometimes the hurt inside my heart is so unbearable I know I am just functioning,
going through daily routines. Sometimes I find myself off in my own little
world - just me and you. I love the memories, but, I miss the future memories.
All I have to hold onto are those memories. I`m sorry I`m so selfish -
I want more.
The wonderful
little girl you were has made me smile and cry all at the same time. Happy
for the good memories, but, sad you`re not here to share them with me or
make more. It will be hard when August 30 comes around and you`re not here.
It was so hard June 12, my birthday, a day you`ve always remembered and
made special for me. Thank you for all of those years of love, support,
understanding & fun. This year for my birthday I started packing up
your room. I know you were with me then, because, I could feel you everywhere.
It was the hardest birthday I`ve ever had. I know it won`t be any easier
when your birthday rolls around. I still have things I saved for a year
to give you that BIG 18 Party.
I don`t know
what I`ll do now......I hang onto anything of yours I can get my hands
on. If someone has a picture of you I don`t have, I scan it and make a
copy of it. It`s like I can`t get enough if you.....I am so scared that
one day people will start to forget you, I can`t let that happen. I know
I can`t have you with me and it`s evidently not my time to be with you,
But, no matter who forgets, I`ll always have you in my heart and mind and
mouth. I was hoping this year would be a better year for us, it just turned
out better for you, because, you are away from this cold, cruel, unforgiving
world. I know one day we will hug again, and you will sit on my lap and
tell me "Ill always be your little girl, Mom, I love you." I remember the
last time I held you in my arms on my lap, We both cried for some reason
- I cant quite remember why. I Thank God at 17 you weren't too embarrassed
to pacify me and let me hold you. Thank you for those wonderful feelings
I have to hang onto. I don't know how I will do it, but, I know your birthday
will be a special day for you - My Daughter.
We got through
Graduation - I know you were there - the kids knew it too. I lived for
the day to see you walk down that graduation aisle, and to walk down the
aisle of the church to the man waiting for you at the alter, I looked forward
to the day you'd say " Guess what, Mom? I'm going to have a baby - you're
going to be a Granny" I know Ill miss those words from you and it
hurts terribly to think of it. I know you will have a Happy Day on your
birthday - and I will try too, for you.
I love you
more than I could ever express with words, I miss you so much that
I cant explain that either. I have a huge hole in my life that only you
could fill, Cade is doing his best to move on in his own way. I don't
always understand it but, I try. I know he needs me now more than ever,
I cant let him down. No Anissa, I am trying not to spoil him, but, it sure
changes your outlook on all of things - life, family, spiritual, and even
material things. I know you are watching me - us - I hope you can help
guide us through a few things and a few decisions. I feel like a lot of
times I say Anissa wouldn't like that" or "Nina would love this" I still
catch myself shopping for things I think you would like. I think I always
will do this.
Rex misses
you so bad, I can see the hurt in him so often now He's being the strong
one for all of us. I know he loves you so much. I hope you like when
I sit in the graveyard and read to you. Its very peaceful for me there,
I feel closer to you, even though you are in Heaven, its your little piece
of ground that I can sit and talk to you and God there. I'm sorry this
is so long to really say nothing, but, it sure makes me feel like I'm talking
to you. I don't want to stop....but, I know I have to and return to the
real world, and do the best I can until its my time to go to God &
you.......
I Love You
My Beautiful Daughter
Happy 18th
birthday from Mom with love forever and ever.
