 This website was created in memory of our beloved son,
Silas James Wofford, who was born on December 21, 2001 and became an angel on May 14, 2004 at the tender age of 2. We will never forget.
Silas was a very special little boy who touched everyone he met with his complete and unconditional love. It was his gift. One hug from him would last a lifetime. He spent hours watching birds, admiring flowers and chasing butterflies. His adventurous nature led him to explore all of God's creation with adoring enthusiasm. His mission in life was to teach everyone around him how to love one another with the love of Christ, and he succeeded in every way. So much so, that God took him home to be with Him and the angels. We believe he was sent to teach the angels how to sing and dance and to be there to greet all newcomers into heaven with his angelic hugs.
What he meant to us:
The love he showed for his family is something words just cannot describe. We all knew there was something especially unique about Silas right from the beginning. He had a knack for knowing exactly when you needed a hug the most. You'd be sad or frustrated over something and he'd walk right up to you and wrap his arms around you in a way that would melt away all your troubles. Those hugs are something I miss so very dearly. It's so hard to go each day without them. He was my lil' piece of heaven on earth.
He had such a way of enjoying all the simplest things. The one's we so often take for granted. He was a constant reminder of what is truly important in life... Eachother.
We won't forget what you've taught us Silas. Your message is loud and clear. Thank you my sweet, sweet angel.
**We Love and Miss You Silas!**
You would be 10 now. We will never forget you.
Our sweet angel.
Welcome everyone,
I do realize this site is very late in it's creation since he passed away 1 year and 3 months ago. My grief has overwhelmed me for quite some time and only now have I found the strength to put something like this together, forgive me.
Please come and visit here as often as you like. Listen to some music. (Most of which he enjoyed with me. He loved music so much.) Browse the Photo Album. Add a poem or thought. Just make yourself at home. I know I'll be adding to it as time goes on. I hope you get to see it all!
Sincerely,
Shannon~
My Son
On the day God took you,
I thought that I would die.
I wondered where the time went?
I asked alot of why's??
With people all around me,
I felt alone inside.
From all their words of comfort,
I couldn't seem to hide.
I thought I might be dreaming,
That I'd wake and find you here.
I thought "This can't be happening."
As I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest,
My heart broke yet again.
I wondered if the pain would end,
But mostly, I wondered when??
It's hard to be without you.
At times the days seem long.
Sometimes I just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
I wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
My precious boy, my Son.

One of Love
The only legacy Silas left behind is the only one that matters. Love. To love others with a pure heart without contempt or fear of disappointment. To love them as they are, no matter how many faults they may have. He spent his whole life treating each person he touched as though they were the most important person in the world. Always giving of himself and not asking for anything but love in return. If I could live my life even a fraction of how he lived his, then I will find true happiness.

Memories
That time of year is close again
I sit here and remember when
You used to cuddle on my lap
I’d hold you tight and we would chat
You had a language all your own
One of the heart and it was known
No words were needed… it all was clear
Your heart was open, and we could hear
The hidden message in your eyes
The pure devotion in your cries
Your love transcended time and space
All memories of wrong erased
But that’s all gone to yesteryear
No longer can I hold you near
You’ve passed away, far from my grasp
I don’t know how long I can last
Without your love
Without your touch
I miss you baboo, Oh so much
What I really want to say…
I’ll always love you
Forever and a day

My Son, My Angel
This marks a year, that you've been gone
It's been so hard to carry on
Without your tender, warm embrace
The love that beamed upon your face
You shined so bright, it blinded me
And taught me how I aught to be
To love, to care, to cherish, to live
To pour out all you have to give
In every little thing you do
I've learned so very much from you
My angel, my life, my love, my son
The change in me has just begun
I pray for hope, I pray for grace
I'll keep your memory in this place
And everyone I meet will see
The love from you, lives on in me

The boy who taught us love
Silas loved to dance and sing
He would smile and laugh at the silliest things
His curious nature led him to explore
Birds and bugs, the world and more
From balloons to bubbles he found much joy
It was the simplest things that excited this boy
Silas knew a world of love
From his brothers and sister and God up above
From Mommy and Daddy, he found much glee
He would hug them and squeeze them soo joyfully
One hug from his precious arms, and you’d know
He was the most loving boy, in his one boy show
He was the center of attention,
because everyone could see
The love that God gave him, poured out like the sea
Now he has left us, to heaven above
But he’s still in our hearts with his unending love
We will remember Silas each and every day
Because he is in our hearts and he is there to stay
So take a hold of your neighbor and give them a hug
And tell them that one’s from Silas, the boy full of love

New Grief - Rescue Me
My mind is swimming in thoughts of you.
I'm haunted in every breath I take.
Why did you have to go so soon?
I still need you.
I've aged an eternity since you've been gone.
Each day feels like a thousand.
So weak and broken without you.
Alive, but inside I'm dying.
My heart is aching and full of despair, please save me.
Nothing in this world can take away the pain.
My God, can't you see me cry? Please rescue me.
This world is so full of sadness, yet you overcame it all with love.
Why can't I be more like you?
The sunsets of my dreams are filled with your spirit.
If I could only see you again.
Your image blurred.
I'm in torment.
My memories won't let me see your face.
This sorrow is overwhelming, please save me.
Nothing in this world can take away the pain.
My God, don't you see me weeping? Please rescue me.
If I could only hold you one more time.
And tell you all the things I miss.
I'm sorry for all the mistake's I've made.
Please forgive me.
Never again will I take simple things for granted.
They are worth more than the finest gold.
You taught me so much in the short time I had with you.
I will never forget.
Anxiety has taken over, please save me.
Nothing in this world can take away the pain.
My God, can't you see I'm drowning? Please rescue me.
