In Memory of Jordan Robert Horton

God Saw You

God Saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, "Come with Me."

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
And saw you fading fast away;
Although we loved you dearly
We would not make you stay.

A gold heart stopped beating
Hard working hands to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us . . .
He only takes the best.

This is the poem we chose for ^^Jordan's^^ memorial cards.

Where the Sidewalk Ends

There is a place where the Sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

Tomorrow we will be celebrating Jordan's sixth birthday. It's so hard to believe that we would have a six year old. I miss my little boy. I wish that he were here celebrating with his friends from school and his family, but instead he is celebrating in heaven with his transplant angel friends, who went before him and since, and his holy family. It just doesn't seem fair that they get to celebrate with him, and we are left here to mourn. Tomorrow will be hard, but at 3:33PM I will say a prayer to thank God for letting me have the privilige of being a mommy to a true angel.

I love you Jordan. Happy 6th Birthday Angel!

I just wanted to let you all know that my father is back home in Decatur, IL. He is doing well and getting stronger every day. Thank you for all the continued prayers and support.

Go hug your kids!
Love,
Carrie
