~THINKING OF YOU ~ ALWAYS / BECKY..MOTHER TO FFF JARRETT LITTLE
Sending you all my love Curtis!!! / Mom~I Love You.... Missing You Forever. (Mom)
Every beating of our hearts:
The world may never notice If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom Or even pause to wonder If the petals fall too soon. But every life that ever forms Or ever comes to be Touches the world in some small way For all eternity. The little one we longed for Was swiftly here and gone. But the love that was then planted Is a light that still shines on. And though our arms are empty Our hearts know what to do. Every beating of our hearts Says that we love you.
Angel Moms We have shared our tears and our sorrow. We have given encouragement to each other - given hope for a brighter tomorrow. We share the title of grieving mother. Some of us lost older daughters or sons who we watched grow over the years. Some have lost their babies before their lives begun But no matter the age we cry the same tears. We understand each other’s pain The bond we share is very strong. With each other there is no need to explain. The path we walk is hard and long. Our children brought us together - they didn't want us on this journey alone. They knew we needed each other to survive the pain of them being gone. So take my hand my friend. We may stumble and fall along the way but we'll get up and try again because together we can make it day by day. We can give each other hope. We'll create a place where we belong. Together we will find ways to cope because we are Angel Moms and together we are strong!
Dear Curtis...sweet angel.. God bless and give strength to all those that love and miss you every day.love always and forever...irene, mommy to angel ...Kayla Xavier... forever

Curtis Dawson joined out school during his 7th grade year; turning the heads of all the girls with that sweet southern accent. He had a quiet soft-spoken demeanor, and he quickly became a friend to many. Curtis was comfortable with who he was, what he believed in, and what he wanted to accomplish in this world. He was a private person in some respects, but if he considered you a friend he would share his thoughts and feelings and allow you to see the world through his eyes. He was never too busy for his friends, especially when they were going through some rough times. He would take the time to make sure that you had someone that would listen and offer his words of wisdom. He valued quality over quantity when it came to his relationships and valued his friendships and being a good friend to many. Curtis was someone who others could trust, and they relied on his judgement. He had the ability to think for himself and had the confidence to stand up for his beliefs. He demonstrated maturity beyond his years and often was the voice of reason, approaching life more adult like in his actions and words. He liked his alone time and never felt the need to follow the crowd.
School was not his favorite activity, although he thrived at certain aspects of it like creative writing and ag, he was definitely looking forward to graduation and moving on with his life. At school his favorite spot was hanging out in the ag shop visiting with friends or working on his current project. It was a rare occasion to see him with a book in hand, leaving his books in every classroom so he didn't have to carry them around, but somehow he always had his schoolwork done. Instead of school, Curtis prefrred working, whether it was at his job or the time he spent working at home. He enjoyed working on cars and pickups and loved to hunt, being an avid outdoorsman.
One thought that no one would ever question is the love he had for his family. He had a deep devotion to all of his family, sometimes leaning on them for support and being that solid support for them. He often spoke of his family and the time he spent with them was some of his most cherished moments. He never took his family for granted letting them know with a hug or a simple "Thank You" that they were important to him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson stated, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with us." Curtis had those positive qualities of respect, loyalty, honesty and integrity and those are the legacy he leaves behind. May his death be a message to us all to try and become better friends and family members and let those people around us know that we care and appreciate them.
I'll lend you for a little time, a child of mine,"He said, "for you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead. It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three, but will you 'til I call him back, take care of him for me? He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief, you'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return, but there are lessons taught down there, I want this child to learn. I've looked this wide world over in my search for teachers true, and from the throngs that crowds life's lane, I have selected you! Now will you give him all your love, not think the labor vain, nor hate me when I come to call, and take him back again?"
I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done," for all the joy the child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may and for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay. But should the angels call for him, much sooner than we planned,m we'll brave the bitter frief that comes and try to understand.

Curtis... I am thinking of you today with prayers that your loved ones are comforted with God's Peace and loving memories...
Tonight in Bible Study we were to self-reflect on events in our lives that brought sorrow or struggle but led to blessings in the end. Being your birthday Sunday you were on my mind already so I began self-reflecting on your accident as a sorrowful time that led to blessings.
Although it has been nearly three years since your accident at that very moment of self-reflection I had felt like I had just heard the news for the first time. I was unaware of much I truly miss you still. I know I will never "get over it" but with time comes ease of pain. I think about you daily and the sting of pain has ceased to surface. However tonight was so very different. I left Bible Study and got into my car and began praying for peace upon your family for your birthday and then the tears started flowing hard core! I then realized I needed peace and reassurance as well.
I know you are smiling down upon us in anticipation of your 21st birthday so I will be smiling up at you at midnight for your birthday. I am unable to make it back for the celebration with your family but do know I will be standing on my balcony with my own balloon sending it up to you. I pray you are with each and every one of your family members and friends. We miss you dearly and will always love you!
