Happy Birthday Charlie. It seems like yesterday your folks brought you home. You were the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. We would lay you down for your nap and couldn't wait for you to wake up. As soon as you would let out a little peep we would race to your crib to be the first to pick you up. You were just a tiny bit spoiled, but we didn't care.
Chars, it's been a very rough year. Your in our hearts and thoughts everyday. We would have really enjoyed celebrating your 30th birthday. I can still see your big beautiful smile. Miss you sweetie.

Happy Birthday Charlie. You would have been 30 today, but your not here for me to give you a hard time about getting "old". We miss you.

Happy 30'th birthday man. We don't do our birthday dinner's anymore, it's just not the same. Besides I'm out numbered now and the girls don't find gorging ourselves as amusing as we do.

Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there
You look at me with a smile
"Life isn't always fair"

You say you were chosen for his garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet
"God really needed me,
That's why I couldn't stay"

It's said to be that angels
Are sent from above
I've always had my angel
My brother - whose heart was filled with love

Wherever the ocean meets the sky
There will be memories of you and I
When I look up at that sky so blue
All I see are visions of you

"While there's a heart in me, you'll be a part of me."

The days continue to go on.. My heart seems to be frozen.. I miss you so badly, the words can't begin. I Love You Bigger than the Sky. Sissy

There's a special angel in heaven
That is a part of me
It is not where I wanted him
But where God wanted him to be

He was here but just a moment
Like a night time shooting star
And though he is in heaven
He isn't very far

He touched the heart of many
Like only an angel can do
I would've held him more often
If the end I only knew

So I send this special message
To the heavens up above
Please take care of my angel
And send him all my love

love you bigger than the sky.

It broke my heart to lose you,
But you did not go alone
Part of me went with you,
the day God called you home.
A million times I've thought of you
A million times I've cryed
If loving could have saved you
You would have never died
Forgive me Lord, I'll always weep
For the brother I loved but could not keep.

missing you more and more with each passing day. love you bigger than the sky.

I said a prayer for you today
That God would take your fear away,
And that you would no longer dread
When lights are out and you're in bed.

I prayed God's light to shine right there
To soothe your soul with loving care,
And take away the painful part
Of memories from that little girl
Who was harmed by the evil in this world.

For sibling-love is very strong,
And fights real hard to right a wrong.

God's our Father now, you know,
And to His arms we all may go.
He'll take the hurt and ease the pain
So you can live your life again.

You wonder how I know it's true?
Because I lived that life with you.
And nightly angels came to stay
To watch and take my fear away.

God made us siblings for a reason,
And we have weathered many seasons.
Through many more I'll walk with you.
I'll listen and will talk with you.

And if you need me, I'll be there,
And rest assured I'll always care
About your future, present, and past
For our sibling-love was meant to last.

I said a prayer for you today,
And God will take your fear away.
And you'll no longer have to dread,
Because Light shines eternal around your bed.

I miss you so badly. The hurt never stops. I will always love you. I miss my big brother, but am comforted by the fact that your now my guardian angel, watching me from above. Please continue to watch pver us and help us all. I Love You Bigger than the Sky. Best Buddies "foreber and eber". I promise.

You ask me how I'm feeling,
but do you really want to know?
The moment I try telling you
You say you have to go

How can I tell you,
what it's been like for me
I am haunted, I am broken
By things that you don't see

You ask me how I'm holding up,
but do you really care?
The moment I start to speak my heart,
You start squirming in your chair.

Because I am so lonely,
you see, friends no longer come around,
I'll take the words I want to say
And quietly choke them down.

Everyone avoids me now,
I guess they don't know what to say
They told me I'll be there for you,
then turned and walked away.

Call me if you need me,
that's what everybody said,
But how can I call and scream
into the phone,
My God, my brother is dead?

No one will let me
say the words I need to say
Why does grief
scare everyone away?

I am tired of pretending
my heart hammers in my chest,
I say things to make you comfortable,
but my soul finds no rest.

Maybe you can tell me,
How should one behave,
who's had to follow their brothers casket,
watched it perched above a grave?

You cannot imagine
what it was like for me that day
to place a final kiss upon that box,
and have to turn and walk away.

If you really love me,
and I believe you do,
if you really want to help me,
here is what I need from you.

Sit down beside me,
reach out and take my hand,
Say "My friend, I've come to listen,
I want to understand."

Just hold my hand and listen
that's all you need to do,
And if by chance I shed a tear,
it's alright if you do to.

I swear that I'll remember
till the day I'm very old,
the friend who sat and held my hand
and let me bare my soul.

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,

For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,

And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

I didn’t choose you for myself
God did that you see
He knew what he was doing
it was our destiny

He gave us strength to rise above
the limits we endured
and gave us truth of spirit
that we were assured

In His greatest wisdom
He knew that we would see
the strength in unconditional love
that expands eternity

If time were to be measured
the years we had were few
but I thank God for all of them
and a brother such as you.

I'm sitting here in my room, looking at your picture.
Wondering why you couldn't be a part of my future.
Uncontrolable tears stream down my face,
while my heart beat starts to race.
Asking god why he took you from my life,
it was more painful than stabing me in the heart with a knife.
I still needed you here
you were the one to make everythng so clear.
you are apart of me and I am apart of you
when you died a part of me died too.
I never knew how hard it was to loose someone you love
until the day you went to heaven above.
Even though I can't see,
I know your up there watching over me.
I miss you more and more everyday
and all I can do is pray.
In my heart you shall forever remain.
