Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,

but by the moments that take our breath away.

Thank you Paul, for so many wonderful moments.

I"ll keep a part of you with me,

and everywhere I am, there you'll be.

~Thank you Sue~
Mom to Angel Matthew

In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear Son,
That we do not think of you.

Thank you Angie

Happy Mother's Day Mommy

Your Mother is always with you....

She's the whisper of the leaves
as you walk down the street;

she's the smell of bleach
in your freshly laundered socks;

she's the cool hand on your brow
when you're not well.

Your Mother lives inside your laughter.
And she's crystallized in every tear drop.

She's the place you came from, your first home;
and she's the map you follow
with every step you take.

She's your first love and your first heartbreak,
and nothing on earth can ever separate you.

Not time, not space... not even death!

Thank you Dianne

To My World

This memorial website was created in
memory of our sweet little boy.
He is now a little cherub in Heaven.
Paul Patrick Miller was born at 5:47AM
in Michigan on December 10, 2005
and passed away on March 06, 2006.
He was 4 days short of three months.

Paul was born with Down Syndrome.
This caused a severe heart defect known
as Antrioventricular Septal Defect.
He had a hole between the top two chambers
and bottom two chambers of his heart.

He had one large atrioventricular valve
rather than two seperate valves.
The red and blue blood mixed together freely.
The right side of his heart and lungs received
too much blood. His little body received
less oxygenated blood than it needed.

Paul also was born with Pulmonary
hypertension and a cleft palate.
He spent the first 40 days of his life
at Children's Hospital.
He went through so much, jaundice,
line infections, blood transfusions, and
oxygenation issues.
The cleft palate caused feeding problems.
He was fed through a nasogastric
tube most of the time.
He needed oxygen support and
hated having the canula in his nose.
He would constantly try to pull it out.

The doctors could not believe how he
fought through every new challenge.
He will forever be my little champion.
He finally came home on January 19, 2006.
He was home with us for 47 glorious days.
Paul was to have open heart surgery
before the end of the month.

His heart catheterization was to be done
Thursday March 9th.
Thursday was Paul's Memorial
viewing and his father's 40th birthday..
We thank Paul for staying with us as
long as he could.
He was truly a Miracle child.

He will remain forever in our hearts.
We Love You Baby Paul.

A Letter from Heaven

To My Dearest Family,

Some things I'd like to say.
First to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven.
Here I dwell with God above.
There are no more tears of sadness;
just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because
I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when
my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me
and he said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
they'll be here later on.
There's so much that we have to do,
to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do.
Foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.
When you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you...
in the middle of the night.
when you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years.
Because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.
Do not be afraid to cry: it does
relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that
God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
One thing is for certain, though
my life on Earth is through.
I'm closer to you now, than
I ever was before.
When you're walking down the street,
and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.....
Someday you're coming here to meet me ..
I'll welcome you with open arms!!!!

~Thank You Kathrin~

Paul is kissing all the girls in Heaven







A small boy looked at a star and began to weep.

And, the star said "Boy, why are you weeping?"

And the boy said "You are so far away

I will never be able to touch you."

And, then the star answered "Little boy,

if I were not already in your heart,

you would not be able to see me"

With love to you always,

Betsy and her super star
from here, there and you
know where....xoxoxo

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

~Sweet Dreams Paul~

I imagine your bed in Heaven

all soft and fluffy like the clouds.


My Sleepy little Prince

~Goodnight my son~

Close your eyes and go to sleep

Dreams sweet dreams for you

Dreams sweet dreams for me.

I will see you on our dream date.

Should you go first

Should you go first and I remain

To walk the road alone,

I'll live in memory's garden, dear,

With happy days we've known.

In Spring I'll wait for roses red,

When fades the lilac blue,

In early Fall, when brown leaves call

I'll catch a gimpse of you.

Should you go first and I remain

For battles to be fought,

Each thing you've touched along the way

Will be a hallowed spot.

I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile,

Though blindly I may grope,

The memory of your helping hand

Will buoy me on with hope.

Should you go first and I remain

To finish with the scroll,

No lenght'ning shadows shall creep in

To make this life seem droll,

We've known so much of happiness,

We've had our cup of joy,

And memory is one gift of God

That death cannot destroy.

Should you go first and I remain,

One thing I'd have you do:

Walk slowly down that long, lone path,

For soon I'll follow you.

I'll want to know each step you take

That I may walk the same,

For some day down that long, lone road

You'll hear me call your name.

Dreaming Sweet Dreams

You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet Paul, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.

Those we love remain with us,

for love itself lives on...

And cherished memories never fade,

Because a loved one's gone....

Those we love can never be,

more than a thought apart....

For as long as there is memory,

They'll live on in the heart

~Thank you~

Revelation 21:3-5

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying,
"Behold, the tabernacle of God is with them,
and they shall be His people.
God Himself will be with them and be their God.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes;
there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
There shall be no more pain,
for the former things have passed away."

Heaven's Garden

The far, sweet bells of Heaven's Garden ring....

with the lilting, loving laughter of children.

The vesper chimes call to us beyond the hills of life,

and the hand that leads the way...

may be one of His little ones.

Roses are Red,

Violets are Blue,

All the Angels in Heaven,

have fallen in Love with You.

"When we cried unto the LORD,
He heard our voice,
and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth."
~ Numbers 20:16 ~

Like the tree needs the Earth

Like the Night needs the Moon

Like the Star needs the Sky

Like the guitar needs the tune

My World needs You

I Miss You

There is always a face before me,
A voice I would love to hear,
A smile I will always remember,
Of a child I love so dear.
Deep in my heart lies a picture,
More precious than silver or gold,
It's a picture of my son,
Whose memory will never grow old.

The Next Place that I go

The next place that I go...
will be as peaceful and familiar
as a sleepy summer Sunday
and a sweet, untroubled mind.

And yet...
it won't be anything like any place
I've ever been... or seen...
or even dreamed of
in the place I leave behind.

I won't know where I'm going,
and I won't know where I've been
as I tumble through the always
and look back toward the when.

I'll glide beyond the rainbows.
I'll drift above the sky.
I'll fly into the wonder,
without ever wondering why.

I won't remember getting there.
Somehow I'll just arrive.
But I'll know that I belong there
and will feel much more alive
than I have ever felt before.
I will be absolutely free of the things
that I held onto that were holding onto me.

The next place that I go
will be so quiet and so still...
That the whispered song of sweet belonging
will rise up to fill the listening sky
with joyful silence,
and with unheard harmonies
of music made by no one playing,
like a hush upon a breeze.

There will be no room for darkness
in that place of living light,
Where an ever-dawning morning
pushes back the dying night.
The very air will fill with brilliance,
as the brightly shining sun...
And the moon and half a million stars
are married into one.

I will finally be perfect.
I will be without a flaw.

I will travel empty-handed.
There is not a single thing I have collected
in my life that I would ever want to bring...
except.... the love of those who loved me,
and the warmth of those who cared.
The happiness and memories
and magic that we shared.

Though I will know the joy of solitude....
I'll never be alone.

I'll be embraced by all the family
and friends I've ever known.
Although I might not see their faces,
all our hearts will beat as one,
And the circle of our spirits will shine
brighter than the sun.

All these good things will go with me.
They will make my spirit glow.
And that light will shine Forever...
in the next place that I go.

~Warren Hanson~

You Will Never Be Forgotten

I’ll always see your face
The corner of your smile
And all the little things
that no one will ever know
Like it was yesterday,
won’t ever fade away
Goodbye is just a word
that I will never say.

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
you will never be forgotten

I can‘t hold your hand
Or look into your eyes
And when I talk to you
It just echoes in my mind
But If hearts are made of dust
And if we fell from the stars
I look up tonight
and know just where you are

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
you will never be forgotten

And the world just keeps on going
It has no way of knowing
That you’re gone

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
you will never be forgotten.

My face may be different,
but my feelings the same.
I laugh, I cry,
I take pride in my gains.
I was sent here among you
to teach you to love.

As God in the heavens looks
down from above.
To him I am no different,
his love knows no bounds.

It's those here among you,
in cities and towns,
that judge me by standards
that man has imparted.

But the family he has chosen
will help me get started.
For I am one of his children,
so precious and few,
that come here to learn
the same lessons as you.
That love is acceptance,
it must come from the heart.
We all have the same purpose,
though not from the start.

The Lord gave me my life to live and embrace.
And I'll do it as you do, just at my own pace.

In Memory of all of the beautiful children
with Down Syndrome.



Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow,
way up high
in the land that I heard of once
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow,
skies are blue
and the dreams that you dare to dream
really do come true

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
and wake up
where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
away above the chimney tops
that’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
skies are blue
and the dreams...that you dare to dream
really do come true
If happy little bluebirds fly
above the rainbow, why
Oh, why can’t I?

Just beyond the Rainbow
my little boy waits for me
in a beautiful place
called Heaven.



I thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday and days
before that too.

I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name,
All I have are memories and your
picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake, with
which I'll never part.
God has you in His keeping,
I have you in my heart.

In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear child,
That we do not think of you.

I tried calling God today
To ask him why he took my Paul away
I couldn't find the right extension
But then for a moment I felt a connection
He said to me...

I've taken him to Heaven
with all the angels and Me.

He is now an Angel
flying high in the sky above,
His wings are huge and gleaming white
like a baby dove.

I know you feel the pain
just as everyone else does,
But you must know it is you that he loves.

He is in Heaven on this very special Day,
I wanted him with the angels to celebrate.
So try not to be so sad,
I know it is hard to be anything near glad.

But He is my Son, my Child,
my Angel, and is safe with me,
he is in Heaven now with his soul at ease.

His soul has lifted and is free at last,
There is no more suffering,
no pain he must grasp.

He is there with you, he is in your heart...
he is in Heaven now and has made a new start.
He will never forget you, and be by your side...

He is now your Guardian Angel
on your shoulder is where he will ride.
He will watch you and guide you through
thick and thin,

Don't forget he is your angel make sure
you let him in.
Make sure you talk to him and love him true..
he is holding a special spot in Heaven for you.

So until the day comes when you meet again...
Love him dearly, Love him so true,
let him know how much you miss him,
and how much he meant to you too.

One More Day

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished, for one more day with you

One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
Then I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do, with one more day with you

Leave me wishing still, for one more day
Leave me wishing still, for one more day

By: Diamond Rio

If snowdrops grow in Heaven,

Please pick a bunch for me,

Place them in my Baby's arms,

And tell him, they're from me,

Tell him I love and miss him,

And when he turns to smile,

Place a kiss upon his cheek,

And hold him for a while,

Because remembering him is easy,

I do it every day,

But there's an ache within my Heart,

That will never go away.

"Let the little children come to me,
and do not hinder them,
for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these"...

Mark 10:14

These Are My Footprints

"These are my footprints,
so perfect and so small.
These tiny footprints,
never touched the ground at all.

Not one tiny footprint,
for now I have my wings.
These tiny footprints
were meant for other things.

You will hear my tiny footprints,
in the patter of the rain.
Gentle drops like angels tears,
of joy and not from pain.

You will see my tiny footprints,
in each butterflies' lazy dance.
I'll let you know I'm with you,
if you give me just a chance.

You will see my tiny footprints,
in the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind,
and call each one that grieves.

Most of all, these tiny footprints,
are found in mummy's heart,
cause even though I'm gone now,
we'll never truly part."

~Thank you Jeri ~

Miracle

You're my life's one Miracle
Everything I've done that's good
And you break my heart with happiness
And I confess it's true
I never knew a love like this 'til You

You're the reason I was born
Now I finally know for sure
And I'm overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold You close
The one that I love most
Though the future has so much
for You in store
who could ever love You more

The nearest thing to Heaven
You're my Angel from above
Only God creates such perfect love

When You smile at me I cry
And to save your life I'd die
With a romance that is pure in heart
You are my dearest part
Whatever it requires
I live for your desires
Forget my own,
your needs will come before
Who could ever love You more

There is nothing You could ever do
To make me stop loving You
And every breath I take
Is always for your sake
You sleep inside my dreams
And know for sure
Who could ever love You more.

I never met little Paul Miller

or his family,

but there is not a day that goes by

that I don't think of him.

His pictures just make my heart melt.

I am sure that my grandparents are

in Heaven helping take care of him,

I picture them reading, singing,

and playing with him.

Paul send your mommy and daddy

lots of hugs in their dreams tonight.

~Thank you so much~

Cuddled in Heaven

We had so little time to share,
Too soon, I had to leave.
I know how much you love me,
I know how much you grieve.

I know how sharp your pain is,
I feel the aching in your hearts.
My life so quickly ended
Before it barely had a start.

I remember how you held me,
And kissed my face and hands,
You cuddled me so gently;
But, God had other plans.

I was your perfect angel,
From God you knew I came,
Suddenly he called me home again,
And now God holds my hand.

I know you’ll always miss me,
I understand your pain is hard to bear.
Just remember that I’m in heaven
And we’ll see each other there.

So smile when you think of me
and wipe away all of your tears
I’m cuddled now in heaven
By our family members here.

I’m waiting here in heaven,
And on the day we meet again.
I’ll be the first to smile and greet you,
When God calls you home to him.

In Memory of my Precious Babies

Forever in my Heart

I'm there inside your heart

Right now I'm in a different place,

And though we seem apart,

I'm closer than I ever was ...

I'm there inside your heart.

I'm with you when you greet each day

And while the sun shines bright,

I'm there to share the sunsets, too..

I'm with you every night,

I'm with you when the times are good,

To share a laugh or two,

And if a tear should start to fall..

I'll still be there for you,

And when that day arrives

That we no longer are apart,

I'll smile and hold you close to me...

Forever in my Heart.

Tears are just memories

overflowing from the heart

As you hold me close in memory,
even though we are apart,
my spirit will live on,
there within your heart .
I am with you always.

When you lean on trusted friends
and their caring hugs enfold you,
within their loving arms,
I'll be there to hold you.
I am with you always.

And beyond the far horizon
when we'll finally be together,
where love will be eternal
and life will last forever.
I am with you always.

I Love you my little Honeybear

Christmas Day was the second time I held you.
I never wanted to let you go.

Such a Big Miracle in such a Little Boy!

Dearest Mommy,

When you wonder the meaning of life and love
Know that I am with you.
Close your eyes and feel me kissing you
In the gentle breeze across your cheek.
When you begin to doubt that you
shall ever see me again,
Quiet your mind and hear me.
I am in the whisper of the heavens
Speaking of your love .
When you lose your identity,
When you question who you are,
and where you are going,
Open your heart and see me.
I am the twinkle in the stars
smiling down upon you
Lighting the path for your journey .
When you awaken each morning
Not remembering your dreams
But feeling content and serene,
Know that I was with you
Filling your nights with thoughts of me.
When you linger in the remnant pain
Wholeness seeming so unfamiliar
Think of me.
Know that I am with you
Touching you through shared tears of a gentle
friend Easing the pain.
As the sunrise illuminates the sky,
In that breathtaking brilliance
Awaken your spirit.
Think of our time together,
All too brief, but ever brilliant.
When you were certain of us together,
When you were certain of your destiny,
Know that God created
that moment in time
Just for us.
I am with you always.

Mother
I will Love you Forever...

You will always be my mother.
I have told all my new Angel friends
all about you mom.
I look down and point you out proudly.
See her, that's my mother!
Did you know when you think of me,
I am right there with you.
I will always be a part of you,
as you will be part of me.

Before I was born you used to
rub your hands on your belly.
You wondered who I might look like,
how my voice would sound,
when I would crawl, and take my first steps.
I knew you were thinking about me.
After the ecocardiogram at Children's Hospital,
I knew you were worried about me.
I knew you were scared
I would never be able to play the
way most little boys do.
I knew you wanted only the best for me.
I am playing now mom,
and I can do EVERYTHING!

Thank you for taking such good care of me.
I know how hard it was for you
to see me suffer.
I am no longer suffering.
I do not want to see you suffer anymore.
I know how hurt you are,
because I am no longer with you on earth.
I wish you could see me now.
Heaven is beautiful.
I have all our family to watch over me up here.
They really love having a baby to play with.
I have lots of new baby friends too.

I am there every night when you
say a prayer with Isabella.
I watch over her now,
like she would have watched
over me if I were with you.
I play with her in her dreams.
I love it when she reads to me.
I hope she will always keep me
in her heart.
I will always keep her in mine.
Thank you for giving me such a great sister.

Do you remember the yellow finch
that flew into the backyard shortly
after I went to Heaven?
That was me... I was saying
"I love you".

I will always be with you.
Sometimes you can feel me,
that soft, warm breeze on your face.
That's when I kiss you....
You keep me alive by remembering me.
I know I am always in your heart.

One day we will be reunited
at the gates of Heaven.
I will be the first to
welcome you with a hug.
I will never let you go after that,
but for now, no matter where
you go, what you do, I am with you.
Always know that I am
"Your Angel",
you are the one who gave me life,
and I lOVE YOU mommy.

Forever,
Paul Patrick

The Bond between You and I will Never be severed.

Mother and Son Forever

On the night you were born,
every star in the sky shone down
in jealousy at the twinkle in your eye.

Where there is Great Love

There are always Miracles

~The angels gazed down & smiled with
abundant joy
As God so tenderly gave the world
a little baby boy.~

This song was played at Paul's Viewing

Fly

Fly, fly little wing
fly beyond imagining
the softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of Heaven's Love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this memory bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, dont shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only Angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

Paul was dressed in his Father's Baptismal Gown.

Loved with a Love beyond all Feeling

Missed with a Grief beyond all tears

This song was played at Paul's Funeral

"ON EAGLES' WINGS"

You who dwell in the shadow of His wings,
who abide in His shadow for life,
say to the Lord: 'My refuge,
my God in whom I trust!'

(Chorus)
And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
and famine will bring you no fear:
under His wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.

(Chorus)
And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

You need not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day;
though thousands fall about you,
near you it shall not come.

(Chorus)
And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

For to His angels He's given a command
to guard you in all of your ways'
upon their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.

(Finale)
And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.
