Babe
I have so many memories, of that little girl.
Soft, shy & quiet, with oh so many curls.
Her eyes were blue & innocent, she didn’t have a clue.
What the world had in store for her, after she said, I do.
I wish I could have saved her, I would gladly trade her place.
If I could just hold her… and kiss her beautiful face.
She would have been 40 today, she was 25 when she died.
We have been 15 years without her, standing at our side.
Her babies were so small, and didn’t understand,
Why their mother went away, this really wasn’t planned.
Now they are women, making lives of their own
One is away at college, while the other remains at home.
Babe was my daughter, my neighbor and my friend.
She was the kind of girl, you could trust in & depend.
I remember her first day of school, without glasses she couldn’t see.
She was shy with some, bold with others, but she didn’t fool me.
Babe was a very good girl, but an instigator too.
She didn’t like to get in trouble, she left that part for you.
Babe was my second born, the one who looked out for me.
And I was so very proud of her, I wish that she could see.
Happy Birthday to you Babe, and although we are apart.
Every year that you’re not here, keeps tearing at my heart.
All my love Mom

Hello Nancy...
Welcome to Cosmo!
Happy Birthday Babe!
I read your Couldn't Cry Chapter 1...
The tragedy sounded so familiar to me...
Then I saw Babe Anne's picture and it all clicked...
My heart, prayers and thoughts went out to you and your family right away...
15 years ago...
I am so sorry that all of you had to go through this nightmare...
Here you are!
I remember praying for a chance to tell you how sorry I was...
No mother should ever have to go through this by a person who had no right to kill this beautiful young mother...
I had no idea it would have been at all possible to ever tell you...
You have been through so much to say the least...
Thank you for sharing your story...
Hugs...

I am so sorry to wait SOOO long to reply. Babe died 20 years ago. Now I am working on publishing that book "The Year I Couldn't Cry". The girls, (Babe's girls) are both graduated from college now & have moved out on their own. My mom passed 3 years ago. I have not been on Cosmofunnel for years. Maybe now I can get back to writing again!!!
Dear Nancy,
This piece is so beautiful and full of your true love for your daughter. I am so sorry that she suffered so horribly and you are both in my prayers sweetie. You can be sure that she is being looked after very well with lots of love from God and the angels and that her spirit is still with you. I lost my son Andrew aged 31 on May 4th 2009 from cancer only ten months after the diagnosis, so I know how devastating it is to loose a child and be unable to prevent it from happening. It is cruel when parents outlive their child because it`s not supposed to be like that is it sweetie! so I know what the pain is like that you are living with. Well done for this beautiful tribute to her and she will be very proud of her mummy when she read it as you can be sure she was with you when you wrote it honey.
God bless you and I`m praying for you and thank you for letting me know about this piece in your private message, we must talk soon. I`d like to send you a big loving welcome to the Cosmo family and I hope you enjoy being with us and I hope other peoples work helps to comfort you in your loss, your daughter is so beautiful. I find writing about my loss helps me cope with it and that is a comfort and I really do hope it helps you too sweetie.
Lots of love and hugs
