***** Zachary Ryan Harris ***** A million words cannot describe the little boy you are. But yes, we will try. So bold, and brave, yet so sweet and caring. I had never met a little boy so special until you came into our lives and our growing family. You were the light of my morning, my reason to arise and face another day in this world. You were my strength when I could not fight anymore. You were my peace when I needed you most. My savior, my son. You made me the mother I am today. I never saw your father so happy, when he would play with you every chance that he got. No matter how long his day or how tired & achy he was. To play with you for an hour before bedtime made his whole week. You are his best friend and he tells me that to this day. I cannot yell enough "I LOVE YOU'S" to express my feelings for you. You are truly a gift from God. And every second He gave us with you was more than I could have ever asked for. The joy you brought into everyones lives. You touched each and every person you ever met. Or didn't meet. Everyone knew you without even knowing your name. But they know it now. And I think that is sad, but it took us losing you for everyone to know who you are. But I always knew who you were. My darling little boy. My Zachary. My Babydoll! Zachary Ryan ~Zachary Ryan Harris~ Zachary is the bravest little boy I ever knew. From the day he was born into our family he was so special. He could capture your heart in just a glace of his eye. He was born on September 12, 2000. He was so wild and little boy bold..lol A fighter, a friend to his big brother & little sister. Thier protector. Such a good helper. On January 7, 2006 he was on his way home from his Grandma's house at approx. 5:45 p.m. They had made it about 15 minutes from our home. And we are not sure of the exact details but his Aunt Jenny was driving the vehicle when she either hit black ice or a white out. Both were present at the time. She had swerved into the other lane for an unknown reason as of yet and ended up on both the shoulder and part in the road. A full size Chevy Suburban had come flying up at hit them in the passenger side of the vehicle. This is where Zachary was buckled into his booster seat. They say it was instant and that he didn't feel any pain. But I cannot help but think of what he saw last before it was all over. All of the damage was to his face, and the doctors' have all said that the cause of death was internal injuries. I just wish if this had to happen I would have been with him. I regret the decisions I had made that day to let him go there. But how was I to know what fate God had in store for him that day. I pray everyday that he is safe and in no pain. And smiling down on us from above as he always was the happiest little boy I had ever seen. Zachary, we miss you more than life itself. And we cannot wait until the day when we can see you again. We love you so much, words cannot describe. We hope Kayla is not too much trouble up there with you. But we hope you are both taking care of each other the best you can until we can join you both. We all love you and miss you so much my "babydoll". Love you so much, Mommy, Daddy, & Corey :o) Zachary Zachary Ryan (April 12, 2005) Zachary Ryan We do not need a special day To bring you to our minds, The days we do not think of you Are very hard to find. Each morning when we awake We know that you are gone, And no one knows the heartache As we try to carry on. Our hearts still ache with sadness And our secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you No one will ever know. Our thoughts are always with you You place no one can fill, In life we loved you dearly; In death we love you still. We Remember Them... At the rising of the sun and it's going down, We Remember Them. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of the winter, We Remember Them. In the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of the spring, We Remember Them. At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of the summer, We Remember Them. At the rustling of the leaves, and the beauty of the autumn, We Remember Them. As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, As we remember them. Zachary & Kayla We Miss You Both So Much, Sometimes It's Hard To Bare! But We Know That You Are Safe Right Now. Your Memories We Hold Tight Inside, Our Hearts, Our Minds, Our Souls. You Will Never Been Forgotten This Is What I Know. For You Are The Most Precious Gifts From God, And Although The Time We Spent With You Was Short, They Were The Best Times Of Our Lives! >>>>If I could sit across the porch from God, I would Thank him for lending me you!<<<< Daddy's Tattoo For his Little Angels! When God calls little children to dwell with Him above, we mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold, so He picks a rosebud before it can grow old. He knows we need them, and so He takes but a few to make Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try, the saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye." So when a little child departs, we who are left behind must realize God loves children: ANGELS ARE HARD TO FIND Zachary & his big brother Corey :: October 31, 2004 :: HALLOWEEN!
