Someone contacted me and asked me to post my tribute to Scottie again. This was written on his 6th month anniversary. I had a special one ready for his 1 yr milestone but my computer got all messed up and i ended up losing it. I was so upset bc i had nothing to give him. A friend suggested that maybe he would like my first one, so here it is baby boy. I miss you!
And to my friend....thank you for helping me to find something to give from my heart!
SCOTTIES RIDE, A TRIBUTE OF LOVE !
i would like to introduce everyone who reads this to a very special young fellow. he is extremely important in my life and will remain so til i pass through death's doors. he loves motorcycles and cars. the faster and noisier the better for him. he loves music even more. there is no silence when hes around for sure. any type of music as long as it continues to play is great. eating?? another pleasure for this guy. if we could all enjoy food with such gusto wouldn't it be a pleasant world? favorite of all time? let me see! it would have to be granola bars and applesauce. yuck! i would say but not to him. he loves it. bring em on quacker oats! oh and don't forget the applesauce. finding myself having a hard time right now. now let me think of something else to say about this guy. he loves hugs and kisses. xxxooo by the way to you big guy. absolutely is nuts over animals especially his little alex the hot dog and champ the boxer. my heart is beating so fast. he thouroughly goes crazy over water sports. can swim a little but loves to just float and relax. getting more difficult to breathe here. he used to sleep a lot but now i'm sure runs amok among his new friends at his new residence. God, help me finish writing this. when he sees me he wants a smile and is given one and then proceeds to run away to his adventerous life. hes one of those guys that is quiet because hes deep in thought so he watches people a lot. a people watcher, so to speak! breathe karen, in through the nose and out through the mouth. what does this fellow look like? hmmm, let me see if i can describe him without sounding too prejudice. my tears are coming at record speed. hard to type. he is blonde as the sunshine with eyes as blue as the summer sky (probably bluer). he has rosy cheeks and the most beautiful smile you could ever wish to see in your lifetime. there is a terrible knot in my stomach. one of his hobbies (i am personally proud of this one) is he loves to read. this is a topic near and dear to my own heart as it is my own favorite pastime.. it is becoming so difficult to get a proper breathe. anxiety seems to be taking over my entire body. i think i'm literally dying right here the pain within me is so deep. i think he would love the story i made up of the little boy that was too sick while on earth and could do so little. he watched as the other children entertained him wishing he could run and romp like them. each week was filled with doctors and tests and needles and he got to be friends with all the nice medical people who treated him. but still he wished he could just go and be cavilier about playing and falling. one day he wasn't feeling too well and decided to take a nap. he dreamed about riding unicorns in the sky. he would jump from star to star and make them twinkle each time he tapped one. people on earth were thinking "whats with the stars tonight? they are just twinkling so much". round and round he would go with his unicorn until they came to a beautiful garden. there were flowers of every color and size. trees of such magnitude he felt very small in comparison. there were animals of every type that were welcoming him into this garden and he thought it was so beautiful he just couldn't resist. he went into the garden and there sitting feeding the animals was the gardner of the beauty. the little boy went over to him and watched him as he was so kind and generous. he felt an instant warmth for the gardner. they smiled at each other and the little boy told him that he would love to stay and play forever in that place of peace and beauty. the gardner explained to him what a coincidence that was because it was his new home. so the little boy stayed in that place of beauty. i think they called it HEAVEN. i cannot see what i'm typing anymore. my tears are many now, so many. ladies and gentlemen i'd like you to meet my grandson scottie harbaugh born may 24, 2002 and died august 29, 2007. hes in that garden i know as sure as i know anything in my life. i know he watches me and wonders why his grandma is sitting here blubbering like a fool. i don't cry for myself as that would be a selfish thing to do. i cry for what i'll never see him do in life like school, prom, college, marriage, dancing at his wedding with him, and having his own family. i write this because it is coming on his six month anniversary since the gardner took him into that paradise. cry no more baby, no more pain, no more hurt. only blue skies and your own Gardner. this is my tribute to my little scottie.

K! Tears are rolling here too. *hugs* One day you can join him in his garden but today you do well by living and continuing to remember him.
He is touching lives even now through your words, be proud to be who you are because you had a hand in making him the beautiful person he was and the beautiful person he is now in Heaven.
again *hugs*

K... This is beautiful. I wish I could be there with you right now. I'm glad you are there for Steph. I'm so so sorry. Scottie's looking down smiling at you everyday, not just on this anniversary.
*hugs*

Karen, I would give anything to ease your pain, but what a wonderful little guy to have known for such a short life. He will be special for ever and rest assured you will meet again. Steph will need you greatly at this time and there is no better Mum!

To all that left comments above, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. This has been so much harder than I had thought. I guess with most of the grandkids with me this past week and Steph too, it just seemed a little closer than usual. My heart breaks for her when I listen to her talk of him. I only hope he is well, and happy where he is. I love you Scottie!

Thank you for you words of comfort. I know Scottie is better off where he is rather than on earth in so much pain. I often wonder who has the worst burden. Those that suffer and go to God or those of us left behind to deal with the emptiness and sadness? Would I want Scottie to be the one here suffering this pain that we all are going through?
