My Son: I miss you Its been a short time since you’ve been gone. I pray everyday to be strong and carry on, but I miss you. I think of you every day, I never knew the pain of losing you my son could hurt like this and my tears start to flow. Your memories will always remain inside my heart even when it is torn apart. The emptiness is so lonely, it seems I won’t make it another day and I remember your smile and the secrets you told me I hold so dear to my heart. And we talked about so many things, I could not say. And now you’ve gone so far away, I only wished you could’ve stayed. I miss and love you my heart is so empty and broke. I wish I could have held you my son one last time before you had to go. But I know god only calls the best home. You taught me one last thing before you left, and that was to be strong and carry on. You said you would always take care of me, so take my hand and guide me there. And save a place for one day for us to share.. I love you my son MOM

I used to count the hours since my daughter died.
They told me to take it one day at a time.
I now see it as every day that passes is one day closer that I’ll get to see her.
Lovingly,
Daddy

Balloon Release
A Balloon Release is an event you can schedule pretty much anytime you want. Typically some cemeteries may have them once a year. But, you can have them on any occasion that you would like. You can have them on special days such as “Birthdays” or any other time.
The way it works is you purchase some helium balloons a day ahead of time or the same day (If bought to early they will lose air). Then you also get some markers for writing on the balloons. The day of the even you are their with family and friends or whoever you decided to invite and you can read a little saying or whatever you please. Then everyone takes a balloon and writes some words to the loved one on the balloon. Then typically someone may read a little something and then everyone releases the balloons.
It’s symbolic of sending balloons and cards up to heaven for the loved one.

Memorial Sites
Memorial websites are a beautiful and powerful way to honor a lost loved one. With a memorial site you can do many things such as leave condolences, light a candle, add pictures, and more. You can share this with family and friends. We also find it to be rather therapeutic.
There are many options available for creating sites like this and a few are listed below. Feel free to search at http://www.google.com or www.yahoo.com and use the words “memorial site”
www.memory-of.com
www.sympathytree.com
http://www.personalizedmemorial.com/
Social Network SitesYou can also use sites such as www.myspace.com or even www.facebook.com and if your loved one had a site there you can turn it into a memorial site.

Grave Blankets
This may be something that is very common to some and not so common to others. Having found a site on the internet about grave blankets and reading about what others do with them it became apparent that they were really a nice thing to add at the cemetery.
Grave blankets are customary headstone coverings during winter months and the holidays. The cemetery arrangements cover a portion or most of the plot and are highlighted with a series of holiday-themed ribbons or flowers. A grave blanket typically has a styrofoam base to it typically a few inches thing. Once in place you take branches from a pine tree and push them into the base and just arrange it in the shape that you want. Once you have it in the spot you want you can take hangers and bend them so they fit down through the branches and over the styrofoam base and push them in the ground to hold the grave blanket in place.
Once in place you can change the arrangement for any occasion that you want. Below are some examples:
Grave Blanket Christmas
Grave Blanket Birthday
Grave Blanket Valentine's Day
