Kathleen Alynne, November 8, 1978-June 19, 1985
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
‘Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven.
This is my daughter, Katie. She passed away and I lost her when she was 6 years old. Her loss was the greatest I have ever suffered. She was a bright and beautiful child with a sunny personality, and she was loved by all.
🙁 I hadn’t thought of this theme in that way, but it fits very well. I feel kind of bad because I don’t have anything profound to say but I wish that with that cute picture, I was seeing an adult woman who was just as joyful.
I love this picture of Katie, she was a sweet girl 🙂 hugs, hon!
wow – how fitting for this theme. So sad, but at least you have her in her thoughts and in ours. mines up.
Tears flowing over here again…I never realized you had been through so much. I believe we are kindred spirits of sorts. I’m so sorry for your loss….I have no words to express my heartfelt emotions with this post.
It’s been a very emotional day for me today (as you know..thank you for your comment to my recent post).
God has given you much sensitivity and compassion and I’ve been touched by that from you.
Hugs to you my friend….
WOW! So sad. I don’t know how I’d cope with the death of my child / children. I am so sorry that you had to go through that. She was a beautiful little girl and her smile in that picture is so innocent and genuine.
I know she’s currently dancing in heaven and filled with joy.
Maribeth, I can’t imagine a loss more devastating than loosing your beautiful sweet little girl. My heartfelt prayers are with you. I hope your loving memories can sustain you throughout your life; one day we will all be reunited. blessings
She’s a beauty Maribeth. And I have no doubt she’s waiting for you with a great big hug.
There really isn’t anything to say. I’m sorry for your lost. Need to go and give my Miss 6 a special hug…
She is beautiful! Words fail to say my sorrow at your lose!
Mine is up. Have a wonderful weekend!
What a deep sorrow you carry, Maribeth. I am in awe of the way you face your sorrow and allow yourself to find joy in other arenas. Your strength is a model for us all.
hugs,
linda
I love that picture of Katie. I can hear her voice, her laughter and feel her hugs! She’s not so far from us and I know she is always near you. Love Ya!
Oh my gosh. I’m so sorry about your loss. Thank you for sharing this most beautiful photo and memory.
Hugs,
Karen
Oh, I cannot imagine, what a beautiful child. *hugs*
Maribeth, Katie will never be lost, she’s in your heart and she’s your guardian angel. I met her only once, as a baby, and I vividly remember her beautiful face, beautiful red hair, and her fiesty spirit. She will always be a part of you, in the loving and generous way you give to others. Thanks for sharing her with us. Love, Michele
*gulp*….this is such a beautiful picture…and such a great loss.
Dearest Maribeth,
you know how close I feel to you and the loss of Katie. She is still in your soul and heart and that is the main thing! Surely she looks down from heaven and it mails her happy you love her so much.
Love and hugs, your friend and sister in soul Uschi
Thank you for sharing your memory of Katie. In looking at her photo hopefully you found some joy. She’s beautiful.
*Hugs*
thanks for sharing this very personal loss with us. I am heartbroken for you.
I’m at a loss for words, Maribeth.
Sweet Kathleen. My youngest daughter’s second name.
That is all~ xo
I belive that you haven’t lost her forever, just for now.
What a beautiful daughter and sad, sad loss. I am so very sorry.

Wow.
I have no words.
I can only say that loss does not make us stronger. It shows us the strength we already have in reserve within.
None-the-less loss never changes, inspight of what people think. Now is the time you laugh and giggle about past memories, then take a little sigh. Feeling guilty about feeling happy for one that is gone to us. Then our heart opens and allows us to be enveloped in the joy of their memory and our soul gives a little nod to the loss.
(huggs)
She’s beautiful, Maribeth.
Don’t know what to say. Am sad too for your loss.
God Bless!
Such a beautiful little girl and the lyrics reflect that terrible sense of having lost an angel…so sorry, meine liebe, no right words to say here…
Oh I’m so sorry Maribeth. I had no idea you had a daughter. What a beautiful little girl she was, and still is in your heart, of course.
I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the pain you must live with everyday. It truly fits the theme. {{{hugs}}}
Thank you for visiting me. I had to work my 3 day weekend, so I am just getting out today to visit.
It always twists my heart to see her sweet little face. You’re such a strong, amazing woman–I know she’s proud of you.
