Her name is Lisa .... she was born Lisa Rose on February 4, 1973 to her young and troubled mother Catharine. She became Lisa Shannon, and my daughter on January 17, 1978 @ 10:10 pm. What a happy day that was

Lisa 's brother David was not quite 2 years old when she entered our family .... they quickly became siblings .... David adored his big sister.

Lisa had so many problems: abandoned by her biological mother, molested by her maternal aunt's partner, neglected, starved and terrorized before the age of 4, as well as exhibiting some Fetal Alchohol Syndrome traits and Attention Deficit Disorder .... and being Native, adopted into a caucasian family .... it was just too much.

She grew up troubled .... how we loved her, and how helpless we felt when she refused any help .... though she had difficulty trusting, she always knew that she could talk to me

She left home at an early age and moved 500 miles away. Three weeks before her father died of brain cancer, she informed me that she was HIV positive: Lisa was 20 years old
She gave birth to 6 children by the time she was 25 and all have been adopted: her firstborn -Joey is my youngest. Lisa could not care for those children, although she tried so hard, and she loved them so much. From visiting once or twice a year, her contacts changed to calls once or twice a year in the last 6 years of her life; Joey saw Lisa on a handful of occasions, and did not get to know her well, but loved her as "his big sister"..... her hospitalizations increased due to bouts with pneumonia

We were contacted on January 22, 2006 by St. Michael's hospital in Toronto: Lisa had finally given them permission to notify us that she was a patient.

We travelled, we visited, we talked, we laughed, we loved - all of us : her reaction was "wow! my whole family is here".... outcome of meetings with doctors and caregivers was that Lisa was ready for palliative care .... we made arrangements to bring her home.

Lisa got to our local hospital on Feb 2nd .... she was glad to be with us. She reached her 33rd birthday on February 4. She left us after a hard struggle on February 8

She was so beautiful .... beautiful bronze skin, dark lively eyes, shiny black hair that fell to her waist .... and her smile .... what a smile that was

When she would visit, she would stay between 3 weeks to 2 months and she was a whirlwind, rocking everything in her (Joey's and my) path .... there was no ignoring Lisa .... When she would call she started and ended each conversation with "I love you mummy." She was often emotional, and she would laugh when I would compare her moods to tempests in a teacup.

She could go from anger to tears or laughter in milli-seconds .... and she could do the Elvis sneer so well ..... she loved to sing and could not carry a tune .... at her grade 2 concert, her music teacher had informed her that some were birds and others were fish .... and she was one of the latter ....

How we loved her ..... How I loved her and love her still ....

I am so sad to find out that you have left us so soon. We were friends in grade school and I've always wondered how you were doing. I will always remember coming to one of you birthday party's and the last time I saw you at the mall after having your first child. You always looked so happy and optomistic.
I am very sadden by the thougth of you suffering.

Remember me in quiet days
While raindrops whisper on your pane.
But in your memories have no grief,
Let just the joy we knew remain.

✿Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿

Remember me when evening stars
Look down on you with steadfast eyes.
Remember if once you wake
To catch a glimpse of red sunrise.

✿Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿

And when your thoughts do turn to me,
Know that I would not have you cry.
But live for me and laugh for me,
When you are happy, so am I.

✿Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿

Remember an old joke we shared;
Remember me when spring walks by.
Think once of me when you are glad
And while you live, I shall not die.

On Angel Wings

On angel wings you do fly
On angel wings into the sky
On angel wings i do cry
Because those angel wings took you away
On angel wings the heralds sing
Is there no such lovely thing?
On angel wings you fly away.
I will see these angel wings again someday
When i am old and my time has come
On angel wings I will fly
Until I'm holding you once again
Smiling on angel wings.

If we could have one lifetime wish
one dream that could come true
we'd pray to god with all our hearts
for yesterday and you ..


A thousands words could
not bring you back
i know ........
because we've tried
we know ....
because we've cried.
