It is comming up to five years (April 17th) since Angela was murdered. It has been hell, personally dealing with the pain, rage, grief and longing that was forced on me.
But I found two poems that I want to share and send up to my daughter with loving thoughts and continued longing.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye, you were gone before we knew it, and only god knows why.
THE BROKEN CHAIN
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.
