Gabriele Sheridan Acker,
She came into our world for only 7 short months, but she left an impact on us all to last a lifetime...
You will NEVER be forgotten sweet angel baby!!!
Little Gabi Girl – precious gift from above Chosen by God to remind us of His love I don’t know that you will ever know how much Your very life – so many lives it has touched Your sweet smile, your innocent face From my memory it is hard to erase As it is with so many others far and near Who have spent hours praying for you, my little dear The heart wrenching stories your parents did share Sparked an outpouring of love to show we care Daddy’s little girl, Mommy’s sweetest prize Brought people to their knees and tears to their eyes He gave you strength and would not let your spirit leave Your heart kept beating and we all began to believe In the power of prayer, faith and love An inspiring miracle – precious gift from above We ask ourselves how much can one so little take But we have to have faith--in you God would not forsake Somehow by your determination and desire to live You’ve spread hope to others – a wonderful gift to give God Bless you, little Gabi Girl and your family Much strength and prayers for a full recovery

Alas, It breaks my heart Gabi’s recovery was not to be As hard as we had all prayed endlessly God chose from her earthly body, her soul to release Giving the ultimate recovery – one of everlasting peace Reminding us all Gabi was indeed a gift from above On loan here only temporarily for all to love Sometimes we forget that life is a gift to be treasured And the number of lives it touches cannot be measured And so too, this little angel with her sweet little smile Touched so many others, although for just a while. Much heartfelt gratitude I extend to the familyFor sharing one so beautiful – this angel named Gabi

I CARRY YOUR HEART
I carry your heart with me I carry it in my heart, I am never without it Anywhere I go you go my dear; And whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling. I fear no fate For you are my fate, my sweet, I want no world For beautiful you are my world, my true And it's you are whatever a moon has always meant, And whatever a sun will always sing is you. Here is the deepest secret nobody knows Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud And the sky of the sky of a tree called life; Which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart. I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart.
This award was given to me by Izzy 'N Emmy.

The Down Syndrome Creed
My face may be different but my feelings are the same. I laugh and I cry and 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'm no different His love knows no bounds; It's those here among you in the cities and towns, that judge me by standards that man has imparted, but this family I've chosen, will help me get started. For I'm one of the children so special and few, that came 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 the same start. The Lord gave me life to live and embrace, and I'll do it as you do, but at my own pace.
I had a dream the other night. It came to me so clear. I stood before the throne of God,afraid to come too near. God said to me, "I hear your prayers. There are answers you can't find. I brought you here to talk to me and help to ease your mind. "I said,"Well, yes, God, I am upset...About my special one. This punishment is awfully harsh...Whatever have I done?" God looked at me and shook his head, He said, "My Dear, you've got it wrong. I sent this special child to you because you are so strong. I searched and searched to try and find someone with a love so rare. Parents so unselfish they could give him that special care. I try to save my special gifts,like those you're speaking of,for a special kind of parents I call the 'Chosen Ones. 'Of all the ones to choose from,I know I've got it done...Parents who deserve my best,an honor you have won."
