For Conner

Two years ago today my nephew Conner became an angel in Heaven and we are all missing him today. Here are some pictures and my attempt at a slideshow with music.

(Click play, listen and follow the music before you scroll down through the pictures and READ the lyrics as I have changed them to fit the story)

Heaven is the face of a little boy,

with dark brown eyes that disappear when he smiles

Heaven is the place where he calls my name,

says "daddy, please come play with me for awhile"

God I know its all of this and so much more,

but God you know that this is what I'm aching for,

God you know I just can't see beyond the door....

So right now, Heaven is the sound of him breathing deep,

lying on my chest falling fast asleep while I sing 

And heaven is the weight of him in my arms,
being there to keep him safe from harm while he dreams

 

And God I know its all of this and so much more, 

but God you know that this is what I'm longing for,

God you know I just can't see beyond the door

 

 But in my minds eye I can see a place,
where your glory fills every empty space

All the CF's gone, every mouth is fed
and there's no one left in the orphan's bed 

 Every lonely heart finds there one true love,
and there's no more goodbyes and no more not enough

And there's no more suffering, no more

 Heaven is a sweet maple syrup kiss and a thousand other little thing's I miss with him gone

Heaven is the place where he takes my hand
and leads me to You and we both run into your arms

Oh God, I know, its so much more than I can dream

Its far beyond anything I can conceive

So God you know I'm trusting You until I see

Heaven in the face of my little boy

Heaven in the face of our little boy 

Heaven in the face of this little boy..........
