Yesterday Calypso's headstone was FINALLY placed!! Too late for her second birthday but just in
time for her 2 year angel day approaching on the 7th!
We all went out to the cemetery and fixed up her gravesite. On her 2nd birthday we buried her
ashes in the cemetery. The headstone installers surrounded it in the concrete for the foundation of
her headstone. So her ashes and lovies are all very safe now

Calypso Paikea Rhyder Lane was born on June 14, 2007. She was 3lbs 1.9oz and 13" long. She was born
at 29 weeks 5 days gestation.
Calypso did well at first but on June 20th was diagnosed with NEC. NEC is an infection known as
Necrotizing Enterocolitis. It is a horrible infection that kills the lining of the intestines
rendering them dead. Calypso's infection spread to her kidneys. On July 7, 2007 we were forced to
take Calypso off of life support at 23 days old. She died at 3:50 pm.
Calypso was our last child.
A Child of Mine (Poem by Edgar Guest)
I will lend you, for a little time,
A child of mine, He said.
For you to love the while sshe lives,
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty-two or three.
But will you, till I call her back,
Take care of her for Me?
She'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should her stay be brief.
You'll have her lovely memories,
As solace for your 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 the wide world over,
In search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love,
Nor think the labour vain.
Nor hate me when I come
To take her home again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
'Dear Lord, Thy will be done!'
For all the joys 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,
Much sooner than we've planned.
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand.
Edgar Guest
Have A Good Weekend Everyone
If I Knew
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance to say
our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

Love to all xxxxxx
Along the shore I spy a ship
As she sets out to sea;
She spreads her sails and sniffs the breeze
And slips away from me.
I watch her fading image shrink,
As she moves on and on,
Until at last she’s but a speck,
Then someone says, “She’s gone.”
Gone where? Gone only from our sight
And from our farewell cries;
That ship will somewhere reappear
To other eager eyes.
Beyond the dim horizon’s rim
Resound the welcome drums,
And while we’re crying, “There she goes!”
They’re shouting, “Here she comes!”
We’re built to cruise for but a while
Upon this trackless sea
Until one day we sail away
Into infinity.
love sheila x
On the day God took you Calypso
We thought that we would die
We wondered where the time went?
We asked alot of whys??
With people all around us
We felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort,
We couldn't seem to hide,
We thought we might be dreaming
That we'd wake and find you here,
We thought "This can't be happening."
As we wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest Calypso
Our hearts broke yet again,
We wondered if the pain would end,
But mostly Calypso, we wondered when??
It's hard to be without you,
At times the days seem long,
Sometimes we just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
We wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
we hope your resting peacefully,
Our precious little Calypso.
A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face
A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortunes child to judge another's crimes
Or wear this pilgrims cloak, or be a common thief
Ive kept this single faith, I have but one belief
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
til you love me
Thanks for the candle hunni im so glad u love the piccie i did i think she has just perfect lil hands
I love Ellies hands xxxxxxx
Loads of love!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
If we could
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
Love you loads Angel...xxxxx
