A Christmas prayer to my Son

[Clanderson]

Christmas time is coming fast,
It reminds me so much of Christmas' past.
When things were always joyful and fun.
Although they tried hard, Santas' list circled some.
Of course Santa knew each child had their problems.
So the difficult ones he left up to our Sovereign.
God knew what's best for the many  who suffered,
With problems that stemmed from their birth or what followed,
He had special plans for them, they all would be hallowed.
My son was one that  he picked as an angel,
With many more lights that shine bright in the sky,
God gave us this miracle to remember them by.
Merry Christmas Christoper and all your Angel stars.
Bev.

I miss you SO much & my love is neverending.

Clay content- Chris died just before AI2- Clay has been a blessing in disguise.

Bev, my heart goes out to you at this time of year

[Clanderson]

I thank you my friends for your sentiments and love.
I was blessed with 4 other children, though none takes Chris' place.
It's true that time heals but you never forget.
Chris was shy and a mystery to his teachers and piers.
None of us knew his turmoil within.
He turned to alcohol and eventually pills.
He tried rehab not once but many times, but unfortunately nothing helped.\
He was married and had 2 lovely girls, who loved him despite of his addiction.
He finally decided to try methadone. and that turned out to be the beginning of the end.
His youngest daughter discoverd him not breathing and called 911, but it was too late.
He now has 2 beautiful granddaughters and he'd be so proud.
We like to think he looks down and watches over them.
He is our "SPECIAL ANGEL"

Bev, I'm so sorry for your loss,  I know how the holidays can always make you miss the one you lost even more then usual, I miss my dad so much at this time of year. Clay has been such a blessing for me as well, I remember I went to see Clay's JNT in '05, 5 months after my dad passed away, and I felt something for Christmas again, hearing Clay sing those beautiful songs, but the one Angela sang,: "I miss you most at Christmas Time" never rang more true for me. ~Kelly~

My dearest Clay friends.

   I had hesitated to write about my son for fear of making you all uncomfortable. Obviously I needn't have worried. You have all been so wonderful and understanding.
This time of year has been especially difficult with thoughts and dreams of Christmas' past when my family was altogether and all 5 children laughed and had fun together.
However God does work in mysterious ways and I will always be grateful that HE took him in his sleep. God in his widom knew how badly he was suffering, plus he needed a bright new angel..lol

Thanks again dear friends and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Oh and Happy Hanakuh as well.
Love, Bev.

Thanks again my dear friends for understanding. I need to add one more thing that moves me every time I hear it. I'm sure you all have heard it but it has special meaning for me and probably others. It's by Eric Clapton, he wrote it after he lost his little boy. It's called "Tears in Heaven"

Would you know my name, if I saw you in Heaven.
Would it be the same, if I saw you in Heaven.
I must be strong, and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong, here 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.
I'll find my way, through night and day, 'cause I know I just can't stay here in Heaven.
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, have you begging please.
Beyond that door, there's peace and joy.
And I know there'll be no more tears, in heaven.
