Jeremy Thomas Heiss

                                  

Do not stand by my grave and weep,

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am a diamond glint in the snow,

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle Autumn rain.

When you awake in the morning hush,

I am the soft upifting rush

of quiet birds in circling flight,

I am the soft starshine at night.

Do not stand by my grave and cry,

I am not there .... I did not die.

This morning I saw the message you left on my son's memorial page. It's the first thing I do every morning ... open his page and look through all his pictures. There must be alot of mom's going through the same thing in this rotten world, but until now I didn't know any of them. I feel like I know you now. I guess I've been so caught up in my own grief that I didn't think to look and see how many others are in the same hell. Our situation is so close ... the dates ... the interest our son's shared .... the way we feel ....our love for them and how much we miss them. I also lost a daughter who would be 15 in a few months. In looking at Jeremy's pictures and the messages I have to say your son is beautiful and you've lost so much. I completely understand the pain, loss and anger.  It doesn't give me any comfort to think that someone else is going through this, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. It just breaks my heart again. But this is what we have to deal with. I would like to talk to you if you are able, maybe it would help us both. My email is. Thank you so much for posting to Zach's site.

I just happen to find your son's memory site while searching for another and I couldn't help but come here and offer my deepest sympathies to your family. I know too well what it's like to have to let our child go too soon. There is no heartache that will ever compare. Please know I'll think of your Jeremy often and keep him and your family close to my heart. May the Lord comfort your hearts as only He can.

Love and prayers, Cindy

     What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
     My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, God Bless you, Marian
