A Child Loaned "I'll lend to you for a little time, A child of mine," God said, "For you to love while she lives And mourn for when she's dead. It may be one or seven years Or twenty-one or three, But will you, till I call her back, Take care of her for me? She'll bring her charms to gladden you And should her stay be brief, You'll have these precious memories To comfort you through grief." I cannot promise she will stay Since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I've looked this world over, In my search for teachers true. In the crowds of this great land, I have selected you; Now will you give her all your love Not think the labor vain, Nor hate me when I come to call To take her back again?" I fancied what I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may, And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay. But should the angels call for her, sooner than we've planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand." ~ Edgar Albert Guest (1881-1959) | |||

The tears keep falling. Posted 18 hours ago I just got on the carepage to catch up on the messages and to look at the pictures. Of course I cry, but they do help. Since my last update I am trying my best day by day to get atleast one thing a day done. The times of tears and sadness continue. This morning was the first morning I got out of bed before 11am. It is the first day of school. I sat at my bedroom window and watched Nikki's school bus slow down at her stop and then just drive away. She loved school and all of her teachers and friends. I pray that her friends are doing okay today. For those of you that were wondering, Nikki came home on friday the 28th. It was a hard decision but we did cremate her so we could bring her home. Her purple marble box says,"Our Precious Nikki, now in the arms of angels, beloved daughter and sister." A thank-you to Chuck for posting the link for the balloon release in the messages and also to Tracy for the beautiful poem. Wow, that poem is powerful to me. Please keep calling and talking about our Nikki. I don't ever want to forget. And please say a prayer for all the children and their families still fighting cancer. God Bless! Karen Our little Angel, Nikki...forever in our hearts! Love you Nikki! Forever "53' Always and forever "Thinking of Nikki"... Our "Guy" | |||

My humble apologies to Bob and Karen for not posting here sooner but I went in the hospital on the 19th and they had no internet service so I was outa touch with all my DRR friends and was not aware we had lost our angel! Glad you two are strong and glad that I have the strength to have additional weight on my shoulders and I suppose that angel addition of Nikki being there is what kept that blood clot I had from going to my brain instead of my lung! My deepest condolences to all of you fine folks! I know the hospital was a place to be when you are ill but it is really a cumbersome place to be when you have no pain, feel good and don't have access to your friends on the internet like I did. I think I missed being on DRR more than I missed my cigarettes and that takes some doing! I just can't get the picture out of my mind that someone took of Nikki playing video games in the hospital and even though I know the medications she was on were making her look that way I still call her my "little chipmunk" as it looked like she was storing up some nuts in her cheeks for a long journey. I am sure she is now enjoying those nuts! Bob and Karen, you have my deepest respect for your great endurance during these trying times! If a desert rat can help in any way just let me know! "The Price is Right, but seldom official. If you find yourself in a hole, for God's sake, quit digging! I'm not old, I'm chronologically gifted!" | |||

The heartache is just getting worse. Posted 9 minutes ago I am not sure why I am posting because I have nothing good to say. Yesterday was my worst day yet and today is not much better. I am trying, but it just hurts. I can't stand life without Nikki. I shake and cry all the time now. Everything is Nikki's and reminds me of her. Then I remember that I can never talk or hold her again. I am so angry that God did not give Nikki a miracle and let her come home. I know the road would have been hard but atleast she would be here with us. I miss you so much Nikki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, Ashley is calling me. Goodbye for now.

How I wish there was something I could do or say to take away the pain, as much as I wish Nikki was still here. Please know Nikki, Karen, Ashly, and Bob, that you are always on our minds and hearts, and our hopes and prayers are with you always.

Karen, Bob, Ashley, you've got to count on each other and accept the help from your friends to give you the strength to get through. It will never pass but it will become tolerable. Just remember the good times and all the love. I feel for you very deeply and I speak from experience. God Bless! | |||
