JESSICA J. CHEMNITZ

Christine,

It's taken me this long to post, because there's really no words that can say what i want to express.

I miss the posts with Mick and Jess stories....

I miss hearing the joys and frustrations, and even the medical updates and joy's and sorrow's.

I don't know how you continue keeping on, you've lost so much, in such a short period of time.

You have done a fabulous job with this memorial but, that does not surprise me, as its one thing that you do very very well.

I'm sure that Jess and Mick are snuggling right now, looking down on You, and Seppel and Daisy.

I know that Mick sent the palm leaf for Seppel, and that Jess and Mick guided you to Seppel.

Know that you are loved, always, and that we will never forget.

Heather, Kate, Sue,

Harley, Dax, and Triscuit

Jessica... Mick...

 

I couldn't bring myself to write anything before, because how do you carry on when you lose the best part of yourself? 

I have no words adequate enough to tell you guys how much I miss you each and every day.

My heart aches for both of you... and I am so, so sorry.

 

With love, always.

Christine, I wanted to stop in and let you know that I have been thinking about you and wish you peace. I attended a mass at St. Pius church in Loudonville, NY last night to remember our loved ones that have passed during the past year as part of the all souls day celebration...Jessica was remembered during the mass...when they read her name, I placed a flower in a vase on the altar, it was a celebration and a reminder that this short life that we have here on earth is just a blink of an eye, and our loved ones are now perfect, and healthy, and happy waiting for us up in heaven. I am not a religious person, but have developed a bit of faith since my father passed and hope that you have a way to comfort yourself during this time...

 

Much love from Lisa, Thorne, and Sparky

Jessica & Mickey - you are loved and greatly missed more than words can express.

I feel your laughter...
    from the sway in the trees
I see your love... 
    from the wind in my hair
Open your heart and I'll open my arms
Hold me...
    as the river passes through and the water trinkles down..
Hold me
    as the clouds soar the heavens above.
Hold me..
    as the leaves sing their song
     dancing, whirling gracefully in your eyes.

Hold me for today and for what the future will bring.
But most of all hold me for the love that is here..
  within my eyes, my breath and my soul
    painting a picture of your pure existence
       hold me now so time can not escape.

We remember, CC....

One Second

It's been one second, one minute, then one hour, one day
since I held her and then, finally had to let her go.
I think the pain will never end.
My head tells me it will ease, but my heart argues.
I make it through the never-ending flood of well-wishers.
They love me, I know.
But I can feel no love now over the emptiness in my heart.

Will it always feel this way?
Years from now, will I still look back?
Will I still be counting the seconds, hours, days, months and years
Since she's been gone?
I've heard the platitudes.
"Time eases all pain"...
So THEY say.

And I know, PART of me knows, that to be true.
But this... THIS is more than pain.
It is a consuming fireball of emptiness.
But I will NOT be consumed.
I WILL carry on.
I will continue in despair if only so I can savor the precious time I had her with me.
I will remember the honesty and innocence of that short life.
Yes, I will carry on... one second, one minute, one hour and one day at a time
so I can remember...

I was told today about Pvt. Chemnitz's passing last month.  I was very upset to hear the news.  You have my condolences, as well as that of the D 3/10 Family.  We will keep you in our prayers.

ich bin in Gedanken jede Sekunde bei dir.
