Rachel Elaine Grapes Memorial Celebration 2009

On Rachel's first birthday we celebrated her life with us and her life now with God. Everyone that attended released a balloon in memory of Rachel. Family members sent a letter to Rachel inside of their balloons and friends (and family) sent a picture of Rachel attached to the balloons.

If you have found one of Rachel's balloons please say a prayer for Rachel and her family and sign our guestbook to let us know where and when you found it.

God Bless Rachel, her family and all those that she has touched in her short time here on earth!

Bad Day

Rachel, 1-1-09

Bad day!
I somehow had to let go of you again when I removed the 2008 calander from the wall.
What a year!
You were conceived in January, I found out we were expecting in February, had a sonogram in April that revealed a potential problem, found out with more accuracy in May( I think) that it was Trisome 18.
I fell more and more in love with you every day.
You were born and gone in October.
November and December went by so quickly.
I dont want to let go of 2008 because in some way that I cant put my finger on I feel as if I am loosing you again.

With the holidays over the pain of loosing you has resurfaced with a vengence. How foolish it was of me to think I was suddenly"all better". I love you and miss you.

Rachel Sings within His Light

Look into your heart each day,
God says, "I'm still right here for you"...
Holding your hand, each step of the way,
Knowing that your days are blue.

He cannot take away the pain,
He can only give you His love...
For when the sunshine turns to rain,
His angels come down from above.

Surrounding your soul with His light,
embracing your innermost fears, God's angels have come to sit by your side,
and wipe away the tears.

One day at a time is all we have,
God knows the road is long...
Rachel is now within that light,
playing her own little song.

Listen for it you will hear,
her song that she sings for you...
for with each tear is a glimmer of light,
It's Rachel singing to you.
