I said to Life, I would hear Death speak. And Life raised her voice
a little higher and said, You hear him now.Kahlil Gibran
This memorial website was created to remember our dearest Emile de Miranda who was born in South Africa Johannesburg on March 27, 1985 and completed suicide by hanging himself in a weeping willow tree on February 5, 2006 at the age of 20. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
A wonderful beautiful angel was sent by God from heaven to grace my life for almost 21 years.
He suffered on earth to teach me unconditional love, unbearable pain, compassion and being humble before the Almighty Power of God.
He came to teach me that each and every person on earth has a place in the puzzle of life. That nothing happens without God’s hand in it.
He taught me patience and empathy and sympathy for the plight of others.
He showed me that I was stronger than I ever could imagine. That God truly won’t give us a cross we can’t carry to the end.
That special angel was my son Emile, who left me by taking his own life, to force me to go in the deepest darkest places of myself and find the reason for my life here on earth.
He sparkled like a diamond in my life and was allowed by God to return to Heaven to fulfil my life’s destiny.
This is a testament to the joy and love Emile gave me, the smiles and laughter he brought into my life.
The beautiful unconditional love he always showed me, the steadfast way he lived his life, with resolve to make it a great life.
Through pain and suffering he lived to enrich my life.
And the tragic way he left to make me realise my own worth to God. To force me to open my eyes to the way I am suppose to live.
To see the beauty of life and the joy it can bring me by giving of myself and open my heart to the voice of God.
I salute you, Emile, you are my inspiration to be everything I can be and I will do it in your honor.
May my beautiful angel always watch over me, and be there for me when it is my time to go to the other side, to receive me with his arms wide open and be proud for the things I have done.
I thank God my Father for sending that special angel of his and let him be in my life for the time he had here to teach me all.
I love you my beautiful son!!!
You are in my heart forever
The Other Side
I’m over on the other side
Where life and death softly divide.
Left my skin and bones behind
Now I’m over on the other side.
Can you feel me there with you?
My breath is gone but I’m not through.
Loved you then and I still do
From over on the other side.
I can fly, really fly,
Below the earth… all through the sky.
Tell them all I did not die.
I’m just over on the other side.
It’s good here on the other side.
The sweetest songs…. The bluest skies.
Thank you for the tears you cried
But it’s good here on the other side.
I can fly, really fly, below the earth….all through the sky
Tell them all I did not die
I’m just over on the other side.
The world is smaller than a needle’s eye.
Where life and death softly divide.
When you leave your skin and bones behind
I’ll be waiting on the other side.
I can fly, really fly, below the earth… all through the sky.
Go tell them all I did not die
I’m just over on the other side.
(Sung by Don Conoscenti)
I know you are always with me, you did not die, you just went on over to the Other Side.
Emile, You have been with me thru all this pain I went thru when you left me. You have guided me to places I needed to be and send people to me who I had to help thru this same pain and heartache. I feel your wonderful pure presence with me always. And your beautiful love filling me when I need you the most. You are my guardian angel and I know everything happens for a greater reason. If I didn’t experience this excruciating agony I would never have had the compassion to reach out to others in need of comfort. You have given me so many signs to show me you are beside me on this journey. I know you have fulfilled your destiny on earth and left to go home. In the process I grew like I never would have, have I not known you and loved you and lost you. Thank God for the years I had you as my son, and now as my spiritual companion. I love you as I have never loved another human being on this earth. I told you before you left how much I love you and I know that you know now it was the truth. You have all the answers to the questions you were seeking on earth. I love you so much my beautiful son and I will never forget you, you brought so much love into my life and enriched my life with your unconditional love. We will meet in person again the day it is my time to return home. In the meantime I will know you are with me by all the signs you always give me. I am so filled with joy knowing you are free from pain and suffering. Nothing can ever hurt you again. I love you forever and ever!!!!
I sent my love to you on the wings of this snow white dove, I know you have peace now.
