 Dustin James Ellis February 21, 1985 - March 17, 2001   Dustin, My tears are pouring as my memories come flooding in; Holding you in my arms, my precious baby boy, my one and only son. All the lullabies came and went to fast, and so did you. I love you Dustin, believe me that is true. Rubbing your back at bedtime, Oh how I wish I could, I would rub your back until the morning light shone through, just to be next to you. You touched so many with your friendship, with your love, your wit and your charm.... so many hidden talents in just your smile and your mind. So much tenderness and kindness in everything you did, and with everyone you met. So many smiles, so many friends, so many memories; Too few lullabies; my tears fall like rain drops. each day brings only tears of sadness, moments of numbness, emptiness and pain...and an aching heart; My life will never be the same. If I had only known, If I had only a clue; I would have held on to you, I would have never let you go. If I had only known that last day with you, would have been my last chance we would have danced; only laughter would we have known.... You would have stayed at home with me where you belong, I would have never lost you. Things I may have said or done to cause you sadness, I am truly sorry, oh so sorry. I am sorry for things, I never got to say, I was sure there would be other days. Being a Mother, I took for granted each day with you, I was sure you would bury me......... Oh please, I'm so sorry, tell me that you understand. You where born from my womb, where I carried you inside me; For 16 years I held you in my arms. You live once again inside me, only this time You live in my heart, Forevermore, you will constantly be in my heart and my mind. Please soften me, guide me to love the one's you loved so dear; Your sister, your brother's from the heart, your precious nephew and niece, friends from afar. Help me to understand; Give me strength without guilt. How do I live, Oh how do I love, How do I hide my pain? Things left unsaid, things left unfinished will remain the same. There's only one thing left for me now, and that is hope and faith. Faith in God above and the hope that one day, My sweet Dustin, we will be together again, without pain or sorrow.... for all eternity. I was so blessed to have you in my life, so proud to be your Mother So very proud of the young man you were becoming. I thank you sweet Dustin for your intensity in life, with family, friends and me.... I Miss You My Precious Dustin And I Love You. Forever Your Mom Dustin --- Warrior James -- Superior excellence or power A new day dawns, the golden sun shines thru I remember quite little joys and things we used to do As winter turns to spring time And nature smiles again I'll see you in the flower's bloom I'll try to understand..... I'll see you in the Summer rain Touched gently by the Lord I'll feel your presence "Dustin" Like the Eagle -- Your "Spirit" soars From the fragrance of the lilac bush To the beauty of the Rose From the baseball cap To the woods and the path On our bikes together we rode You taught me how it feels to love in a world so full of hate You taught me how a precious boy so young could lead the way My sweet Dustin-- I miss you so I don't understand why you had to go The memories of you with me will stay Until I see you in Heaven someday We need only to look at the places we've been The sweetness you brought To your family and friends Although there's pain because you're gone "Dustin" Your legacy will live on You'll Never Be Forgotten Written for My brother Virgil, by his Mother-in-law   If I could have one wish, a dream that would come true; I pray to God with all my heart for yesterday and you. A thousand words won't bring you back, I know because I've tried. Neither will a thousand tears, I know because I've cried. You left behind my broken heart and happy memories, too; I never wanted memories; I only wanted you. I can't help but to wonder, "Will my tears forever flow>" Missing you more and more, my pain continues to grow. Heaven gained an angel, and I lost my brother; I guess the Lord needed you before any other. With each day that passes by, I know that you are sending your love from that Kingdom in the sky. You touched my life, you made my dream come true; I am a big sister, that's all because of you. Love From Tasha  Although we were not born brothers we did not share the same last name I shared my mom, and you shared your dad My Mom, Your dad gave us the chance to live and grow We grew to be Brothers in our Hearts We made memories, that only brothers can share, some good, some bad, Yet, their our memories, no one can take We looked out for each other, protected each other as we say, we watched each other's backs Although we never said good-bye the day I left I wish I had time to say good-bye As I turned to walk away, I had a tear in my eye I didn't want to leave you I didn't want to die We still had so much to do But That day, when God reached down his hand and said it is time. I was confused, but as I took his hand I knew I wasn't dead, But just born I found my home now I will live forever more. although you cannot hear me or see me, I am still there I live in your heart. If You cry, That is okay, keep our memories in your heart When your day on earth is over and you are ready for your birth I will be there to take you by the hand, I will show you around Heaven, It is such a wonderful place Much more than I can say. But until Heaven we will always be brothers in the heart. Written by Dustin's Mom, to Shannon and Justin   The day you left, a hole was left in my chest, Like a big tree, that had been ripped away by the roots. The jabbing, stabbing, raw pain Once my heart was filled with only hopes and dreams for you Now only bitter sweet memories of what should have been And all that was lost. and a scar begins to form an ugly scar Each day my heart beats easier, as I make it through not as much the stabbing ache as I once felt. Still I get visits often, just out of the blue Guess a reminder, That I will always miss you So I am forced to accept the hole that remains in my heart That time can never mend, This is where my love for you pours out. Now and forever, til I am with you again. I love you Dustin. Mom  To say so many things I never said before But I can say you're in my heart and you always will be forever more I remember that night 10 years ago you opened the door and broke the ice I was so nervous and you did not know At 6 years old, your smile made my night As the years went by and we became family I watched my nephew grow into a young man So many changes took place in each of our lives And still you remained humble as one can be Dustin, I'm thankful to have known you I can't remember a time you ever made me sad Bringing happiness to others was your special virtue Creating laughter was a special gift you had And though on earth you were gone too soon And the tears and pain seem to never go away Each night I can look to the stars and the moon And pray for our family to be together in Heaven someday Love and miss you, Aunt Missy  If only you could see me now, your tears would surely cease; I'm In a land of boundless love, a land of perfect peace. Each day, I stroll by the river of life, and walk the streets of Gold; There are so many things to see; that half has not been told. The strangest things you've ever heard, believe me it is true, Everyone i meet, I know, and WOW they know me, too. We laugh and play the hours away, though there is no such thing as time; and you should see my heavenly home, a mansion that's all mine. But the thing I love above the rest about living here above, is being close to Jesus and basking in his love. If only you could see me now as I worship at his feet, If only you could see his face so tender and so sweet. If only you could feel the love that eminates from him, You would understand just why I chose the path that I did. and when it is time for you to come live in this heavenly land, I'll do for you what he did for me....I'll take you by the hand... written by Sue Grace......For Dustin Ellis' web site Twilight draws ever so closer Through the window pane I look to heaven in hope to see Your smiling face again Memories, sweet memories Are what keep you near These I treasure with all my heart I hold them all so dear Remembering the love we shared And how it was taken away We never got to say goodbye On that fateful day One day we'll be together again As I gaze up to the sky I thought that I could see you there Learning how to fly Copyright2002(c) Lian Gell All rights reserved Poem used with permission   Image created by Missy Kenneda
