This memorial website was created in the memory of our beloved one, Thaddeus James Thomas who was born August 15, 2001 in Columbus, Ohio and suddenly passed away on April 17, 2007 . We will remember him forever. Please light a candle for him or add a condoledence. Thank you for visiting our son's memorial. To see his smile would cure any ailments. May he forever dance with the Angels !

Mom, please listen to me
As I take the time to write
I see parents struggling daily
Their pain is such a fight

All of us who have gone on
And left the rest of you behind
We're OK Mom, I promise
Heaven is beautiful and God is kind

You used to tell me that one day
God would call and take you home
You told me you'd make me strong
So I would stand tall when alone

But things happen sometimes Mom
That does not go in our plans
I wasn't scared, Mom
When God held out His Hand

I didn't want to leave you
I didn't have time to say good-bye
When the Angels said, "Come with us"
There wasn't time to question why

I've watched you daily, Mom
It hurts to see you cry
I don't want you to be unhappy
Just because we didn't get to say good-bye

Tell the others what I'm telling you
So many parents need to know
That Earth was just a lay-over
We had another place to go

I know you miss me, Mom
I know your heart is broken in two
But God really needed me
Because my earthly life was through

I'm always alongside you
I smile and touch your hair
I whisper" Mom, I love you"
You just can't see me there

I'm the one who gently touches you
On your shoulder when you're sad
I'm happy now that you finally found
God again, and you're no longer mad

Tell the parents, Mom, for me
That all of us kids are okay
God made plans for our lives
When He called us home that day

I love you, Mom, I always will
And remember I'm not far away
We're going to be together
When God calls out your name. 



Beside your grave I often stand

With heart both crushed and sore,

Silent till the sweet words come,

"Not lost, but gone before."

God knows how much I miss you,

He counts the tears I shed,

And whispers "He only sleeps,

Your loved one is not dead."

So I'll be brave dear Thadd,

And pray to God each day,

And when He calls me home to you,

Your smile will guide the way
































Ask My Mom How Is She

My Mom, she tells a lot of lies

She never did before.

From now until the day she dies.

She'll tell a whole lot more.

She used to tell the truth, a lot

But now it doesn't matter.

I died and went to heaven,

Her life is all a-shatter.

Ask my Mom how is she.

She'll say, "Yes, I'm fine!"

She wants to beg "Please help me.

I can't find that boy of mine!"

Ask my Mom, how is she,

She'll say, "I'm alright."

If that's the truth then tell me,

Why does she cry each night?

Ask my Mom, how is she,

She seems to cope so well.

She didn't have a choice, you see,

Nor the strength to yell.

You think you know the feeling,

But this cannot be.

For even though you loved me,

You didn't love as much as she.

She will smile and tell you,

"It's o.k. God has a plan."

But she will turn away and cry

'Cause she just can't understand.

Tell a joke and she will laugh,

But she is not o.k.

She wants to share the joke with me,

But it will not be today.

I watch from here, in Heaven.

Her distress disturbs my peace.

Will someone please take care of her,

And thus take care of me?

"Some day you will feel better."

"Yes I will." she lies.

She knows this will not happen,

Until the day she dies.

"I was so lucky!

I had him all those years!"

(They passed in a minute,

I shed so many tears.)

Ask my Mom how is she,

She'll say, "Thank you. Good."

She cannot tell you how she feels.

Oh, how I wish she could.

Ask my Mom how is she,

"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping."

For God's sake, Mom, just tell the truth

Just say your heart is broken.

Ask my Mom how is she,

"I'm well, I'm good. And you?"

I'll shake my head in Heaven.

It simply isn't true.

She'll love me all her life.

I loved her all of mine.

But if you ask how is she,

She'll lie and say she's fine.


Her carnival is over.

She's stepped off the carousel.

But, to save you feeling badly,

She'll say, "Thanks, all is well."

My Mom, she's not gone mad, yet.

But, oh so very nearly.

Don't ask my Mom how is she,

Ask how is she, really.

I am here in Heaven.

I cannot hug from here.

If she lies to you, don't listen.

Hug her, hold her near.

On the day we meet again,

We'll smile and I'll be bold.

I'll say, "You're lucky to get in here, Mom,

With all the lies you told!"


































Happy Mothers' Day

A newborns conversation with God:

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth
tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and
helpless?"

God said,
"Your Angel will be waiting for you and will take care
of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't
have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy"

God said,
"Your Angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.
And you will feel your Angel's love and be very happy."

Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to
understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said,
"Your Angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet
words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your Angel will teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said,
"Your Angel will place your hands together and will
teach you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said,
"Your Angel will defend you even if it means risking
her own life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said,
"Your Angel will always talk to you about me and will
teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from
Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked,

"God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my Angel's name."

God said,
"You will simply call her, "Mommy."







Dear Mommy 

When you wonder the meaning of life and love
Know that I am with you.
Close your eyes and feel me kissing you
In the gentle breeze across your cheek.

When you begin to doubt
that you shall ever see me again,
Quiet your mind and hear me.
I am in the whisper of the heavens
Speaking of your love.

When you lose your idenity,
When you question who you are,
and where you are going,
Open your heart and see me.

I am the twinkle in the stars
smiling down upon you,
Lighting the path for your journey.

When you awaken each morning
not remembering your dreams,
But feeling content and serene
Know that I am with you
Filling your nights with thoughts of me.

When you linger in the remnant pain,
Wholeness seeming so unfamiliar,
Think of me.

Know that I am with you
Touching you through shared tears
of a gentle friend
Easing the pain .

As the sunrise illuminates the desert sky
In that breathtaking brilliance,
awaken your spirit.

Think of our time together,
all too brief, but ever brilliant.

When you are certain of us together,
When you are certain of your destiny,
Know that God created that moment
in time, just for us.

I am with you always.






















There's a special Angelboy in Heaven,
That is a part of me.
It is not where I wanted him,
But where God wanted him to be.
He was here for just a moment,
Like a night time shooting star.
And though he is in Heaven,
He isn't very far.
He touched the hearts of many,
Like only he could do.
I would've held him every minute,
If the end I only knew.
So I send this message,
To Heaven up above.
Please take care of my Thaddeus,
And send him all my love !!! 





Children who die are not really gone, but go to a place that is something like home. Where they sleep the deep sleep as quiet as stone until we can join them when our lives are done.
Children who die are not really dead but just good children tucked into bed. Wait the long wait while we go ahead. Til our tales are told and our tears are shed.
Children who die feel no pleasure or pain in the place where they wait till they see us again. And all of us dance in a world washed with rain where the sun shines brightly and no sorrows remain








Dear Mommy and Daddy,

I just wanted to let you know 
That I made it home
The journey wasn't an easy one
But it didn't take too long.

Everything is so pretty here
So white, so fresh and new
I wish that you could close your eyes,
And that you could see it too !

Please try not to be sad for me...
try to understand
God is taking care of me...
I'm in the shelter of His Hands.

Here there is no sadness
No sorrow and no pain
Here there is no crying
No hurt for us again.

Here it so peaceful
When all the Angels sing
I really have to go now
I've just got to try my wings !

I said, "God, I hurt."

And God said, "I know."

I said, "I cry alot."

And God said, "That's why I gave you tears."

I said, "Life is so hard."

And God said, "That's why I gave you loved ones."

I said, "But my loved one died." 

And God said, "So did mine." 

I said, "It's such a great unbearable loss."

And God said, "I saw mine nailed to the cross"!

I said, "But your Son lives."

And God said, "So does yours."

I said, "Where are they now?"

And God said, "My Son is by my side
and your Thaddeus is in my arms....." 













Thadd loved John Cena, WWE Wrestling Champ 















To Thadd,
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

As long as I can dream,
As long as I can think,
As long I have memory...
I will love you

As long as I have eyes to see
and ears to hear
and lips to speak...
I will love you.

As long as I have a heart to feel,
a soul stirring with in,
An imagination to hold you...
I will love you.

As long as there is time,
As long there is love,
As long as I have a breath
to speak your name...

Because I love you more than anything...in the whole world !!
