Patrick Christian Barbosa

You have lit so many candles on my son's website, I figured it was time, I came to visit you.  I am so very sorry, you have to walk along this long and lonely path.  This is a journey, I do not wish on any parent!  It is so obvious, you loved your beautiful son Patrick, very very much!  It is a long and painful journey but, I know, it is a doable journey.  I have learned through the over 11 years since the death of my son Deryk that, life does indeed get better.  I used to wish, I had died when Deryk died.  I couldn't find a good reason to get out of bed.  Always singing, I could no longer find it in my heart to sing anymore.  Slowly, oh so painfully slowly, life started to come back into my heart.  At some point, I realized, I no longer wished to die.  I could get out of bed, without any prompting.  Then one day driving in my car, I realized I was singing.  It made me stop cold and I cried, for the remaining ride.  How could I be singing, when my son was dead!  It took me a while to get over that guilt but, I now sing regularly.  Our son's want us to go on!  Deryk would come down here and kick my ass if, I had continued on living as I was!  Have faith that one day, you will see your beloved Patrick again.  Give yourself time, you will never forget but, you will learn to live again.

A Newborn's Conversation with God       A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,   but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"     God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."     The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have   to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."     God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.   And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."     Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand   when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"     God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words   you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will   teach you how to speak."     "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"     God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach   you how to pray."     "Who will protect me?"     God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."     "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."     God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach   you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."     At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth   could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave   now, please tell me my angel's name."     God said, You will simply call her, "Mom."

 

I can't thank you enough for remembering my angel Curtis & lighting candles in his memory. I hope to get back to lighting for all his angel friends, just really struggling since his Angelversary!

Thank you so much!
