Hi Immie
I’m making lasagne for dinner tonight, not the prepacket stuff from woollies. I will never forget how you screwed your face up when I suggested you eat that, as I was too tired to cook lasagna again. That look was enough to have me making lasagne for you at 10.30pm, anything to see that smile, and you excitedly shouting that you had found a love heart shaped piece of lasagna in your bowl.
I found the poem below for you Miss Imogen, many days it feels like yesterday you flew away peacefully, and other days it feels like a lifetime.
Can hardly believe it’s been six months, since we saw that smile, heard that laugh, and felt those hugs and kisses.
Sending it with all our love to heaven for you,
Extra squeezes, kisses and smiles
Mum, Dad, Kody and Ashton
P.S. Thanks for canceling after school trombone practise today, making sure my favourite t – shirts were delivered today and letting it be Monday so Ashton could go to crèche, and I could float around the pool thinking of you beautiful girl xx your mummy xx
When Tomorrow starts without me
When tomorrow starts without me
And I am not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
And each time that you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand
And said my place was ready
In Heaven far above
And that I’d have to leave behind
All those I dearly love
But as I turned to walk away
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life I’d always thought
I did not want to die
I had so much to live for
So much yet to do
It seemed impossible
That I was leaving you
I thought of all the yesterdays
The good ones and the bad
I thought of all the love we shared
And all the fun we had
I bring with me our goodbyes
Your smile, your touch, your kiss
Your tender caring moments
Are the things I already miss
And when I thought of wordly things
I might miss come tomorrow
I thought of you and when I did
My heart was filled with sorrow
But when I walked through Heavens Gate
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me
From His great golden throne
He said this is eternity
And all I’ve promised you
Today for life on earth is past
But here it starts anew
So when tomorrow starts without me
Don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me-
I am right inside your heart.

Six months too long to be apart sweet. Fee, you always echo what's in my heart. I know our beautiful angels are together drawing rainbows in our hearts.

I was thinking of you, Immie and the boys today, so thought I would visit your blog.
I feel like I've intruded on a personal post, for which I am sorry, but feel grateful that I was able to read the poem, which has left me in tears.
Never far from my thoughts, even though we are strangers.

A beautiful poem for a beautiful girl with a beautiful smile.
I have not visited your blog for a couple of months but have been thinking of you all so much lately and thought that I would just say Hi and let you know that you are all always in our thoughts and prayers and we really do enjoy your blog. It is so nice to see how Kody and Ashton are doing and also you and Jason, although we do see Jason from time to time. Immies photo is on our fridge and I have my ladybird broach on my handbag that reminds me of how blessed we are and how we take things for granted but also how enriched our lives have been because little immie touched us and is still touching us through your blog in a very special way. Bless you Fiona,Jason and your beautiful boys and may God continue to strengthen you all.

Hi'ya Fee,
Just passing thought I'd pop in and say HI. Told Immie I was with her on the store-bought Lasagne *blurgh* Home made rocks.
Congrats on becoming a fairy god mother! The poem is lovely ~ I find so much can be said through poetry & song. Here's to more sparkly days and rainbows.
Hope to pop past again sooner.
~Mands! :o)
Thinking of you all.

How time passes us by, but we all think of Immie regularly and it always puts a smile on my face.
