UN-BREAK MY HEART
by
Toni Braxton
Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me
Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart
Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me
Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me
Un-break my heart
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on
A million times, I'll need you;
A million times I've cried;
If love alone could have saved you;
You never would have died;
If all the world was mine to give;
I would give it yes, and more;
To see you coming up the steps,
And walking through the door;
To hear your voice, to see your smile; To be with you the same old way;
Would be my fondest wish today;
A heart of gold stop beating;
Two smiling eyes laid to rest;
God broke my heart to prove to me;
He only takes the best.

"Sometimes, no matter how much faith we have, we lose people.
But you never forget them.
And sometimes, it's those memories that give us the faith to go on."
REST IN PEACE
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be
As long as life and memory last
We will miss thee.
We will miss you now
Our hearts are sore
As time goes by
We miss you more
Your loving smile
Your gentle face
No one can fill your vacant place.

"We can all be angels to one another. We can choose to obey the
still small stirring within, the little whisper that says,
Go. Ask. Reach out. Be an answer to someone's plea.
You have a part to play. Have faith.'
We can decide to risk that He is indeed there, watching, caring, cherishing
us as we love and accept love. The world will be a better place for it.
And wherever they are, the angels will dance."
---Joan Wester Anderson
"Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal."
---Padre Pio
Time cannot steal the treasures
That we carry in our hearts,
Nor ever dim the shining thoughts
Our cherished past imparts......
If the people we love are taken from us, the way they live on is to never stop loving them; buildings burn, people die, but true love is forever.
---The Crow
The truest words of all...
I will not forget you.
You are in my waking thoughts, my sweetest memories, my dearest dreams.
I will not forget you...
You have touched my soul, opened my eyes, changed my very experience of the universe.
I will not forget you...
I see you in the flowers, the sunset, the sweep of the horizon and all things that stretch to infinity.
I will not forget you...
I have carved you on the palm of my hand.
I carry you with me forever...
---Ellen Sue Stern, Living with Loss, 1995
Use the uncertainty of life as a constant reminder to be grateful.
Someone once wrote that tears are a river that can carry you forward.
---Oprah Winfrey
Our lives are like clouds
That swiftly sail by and are gone
But blessed are they who turn gray
Clouds to white, whose kind deeds
Are stars on the canvas of night!!
Our souls are like angels with
Wings that are assigned to each mortal
Who dwells in this world; And blessed
Are they whose love conquers strife.
Whose spirits are beacons that brighten each life!!!
---Melissa
"Death is nothing at all.
It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.
All is well."
"DEATH LEAVES A HEARTACHE NO ONE CAN HEAL,
LOVE LEAVES LIVES A MEMORY NO ONE CAN STEAL"

Hold on to what is good,
even if it's a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe,
Even if it's a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do,
Even if it's a long way from here.
Hold on to your life,
Even if it's easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand,
Even if I've gone away from you.
---Pueblo Indian Prayer

Sometimes when a light
goes out in our life
and we are left in darkness
and do not know which way to go.
We must put our hand into the hand of God
and ask Him to lead us...
and if we let our life become a prayer
until we are strong enough
to stand under the weight
of our own thoughts again,
somehow even the most difficult
hours are bearable.
---Helen Steiner Rice

I HAVE A PLACE IN HEAVEN
Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...
It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know...
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.

The song you are hearing is Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton
When I lost you Michael, I lost more than a brother, you were and always will be my best friend.....
"As long as I can I will look at this world for both of us. As long as I can I will laugh with the birds, I will sing with the flowers, I will pray to the stars, for both of us. As long as I can remember how many things on this earth were your joy. And I will live as well as you would want me to live As long as I can."
Remember Me As you are wakened in the morning by the song of a bird ...
Silently, one by one,
in the infinite meadows of heaven
Blossomed the lovely stars,
the forget-me-nots of angels.
(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
We are each of us angels with only one wing and
can only fly embracing each other.
Luciano de Crescenzo
