Cause of Death Cardiac Arrest
My third daughter was found dead in her bed. she died in her sleep from a cardiac arrest after taking too many recreational drugs. Emily dealt with the deaths of her two sisters, Isabel 'Izzy' and Anna, both died by suicide within two months , three half years ago. I am left here with my beautiful daughter Jenny and glorious son Johannes. God please look after my babies until I can join them in heaven.
********
Yesterday afternoon
Against these turbid turquoise skies
The light and luminous balloons
Dip and drift like satin moons
Drift like silken butterflies;
Reel with every windy gust,
Rise and reel like dancing girls,
Float like strange transparent pearls,
Fall and float like silver dust.
Now to the low leaves they cling,
Each with coy fantastic pose,
Each a petal of a rose
Straining at a gossamer string.
Then to the tall trees they climb,
Like thin globes of amethyst,
Wandering opals keeping tryst
With the rubies of the lime.
~ Oscar Wilde
********
Do not stand at my grave and weep...
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry...
I am not there... I did not die.
