Hallmark Card for me…

I found this online.  Not sure who wrote it, but it brought me to tears…

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear
… A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she’s cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
that though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth
She needs to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.

Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you’ll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I’ll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

    My prayers are still with you. It has been two years since we lost my brother and we all still mourn him like it happened yesterday… My mom has been hit especially hard so we are all trying our best to keep her together. I haven’t had a chance to comment on your blog for a while but not a day goes by when I don’t think you and your precious Hannah. You and I were both on the same special needs chat room several years ago as I was waiting for my little girl to be diagnosed and you were waiting to find out what Hannah’s diagnosis would be, so even though I have never met you, you feel like a friend to me and please believe me when I say that you are always in my thoughts and prayers. It is so hard to keep on going when a big piece of your life is gone..
