Here I am today.
Standing with pride, and hope and joy.
But where are you my dearest friend?
Here I am today.
Smiling at the gratitude for sunny skies and good fortune. Painting compositions of elation.
But where are you?
Lessons learned and mind at ease. No troubled past, no contempt, just peace.
How I long to share this chapter, but you won't be here now or here thereafter.
I wish you were here to share this life with me. The birds, the ocean, the earth and the tress. The mornings, the evenings, the starry night sky.
But you're gone now my love, and I still wonder why.

Hannahs Foundation for Helping Hands

Hannah's Foundation for Helping Hands
Hannah's Foundation for Helping Hands
[1] Hannah's Foundation
In Memory of Hannah Marie Manning, who left the world a better place. Hannah went home to live in eternity with her father in heaven Dec 12th 2011. She died a champion over pain and suffering from complications with her Liver transplant at Indiana University Hospital. Hannah's Foundation for Helping Hands will serve as an extension of Hannah's life's story, and a way for others to duplicate her kindness.
In the simplicity of her short life it goes like this: Hannah's Foundation for Helping Hands costs only a moments concern for others in Hannah's memory. Imagine you are at the right place, at the right time to help someone in need. It might be as an item that could help someone, or a kindness that promotes well being for another person. We want to know the creative way in which you gifted someone recently, not to "boast" but in the spirit of "boosting" duplication in other people.
Here is the example that started this Foundation by Hannah's father, Mike Manning: "After a sleepless night at the Ronald MacDonald House in Indianapolis, I was checking out, and realized I has two unused transit tickets which had been given to me by the hospital. I handed them to the kind and empathetic manager, and asked her to give them to a family in need- that she would surely see soon. I told her that Hannah would have wanted the tickets to go to such a person.
Here are some things that Hannah taught with her life:
"love everyone who enters the room"
"learn what others like and let them know they are accepted"
"be a peace maker no matter how much it costs"
"love life because you've been given a gift of life, to give away"
"live in a circle of love with your friends"
"play beautiful music because it makes people happy"
"believe you are a miracle in the making when you make a difference with your life"
A culture of care has begun, all of us are better when we are kind,
be someones angel, kindness and concern is a way of life.
August 4th, 2013: Gone
Hannah, fond of memories
I follow my memories of you each day
Along the watchtower look not away
Believe in life after dark there's light
In trust this short and mortal mind
To revel in threads on memories in twined
And grieve till all my days unwind
I love you darling, always untill we are reunited and then forever
teaching piano at Sparks Music
Hannah taught Piano at Sparks Music. It was exillerating to know she had obtained her goal of teaching. Hannah's students loved her and dad was proud of his little girl.
Dear Hannah
Dear Hannah,
Nothing has changed about my daily thoughts of you. You are still my baby girl, and my love for you knows no bounds and it resists the rust of time. I am more confident and excited to see you in our Father's house where I know you are waiting healed and happy. Thank you for your love and forgiving heart, I am forever in love with you my sweet daughter. Dad
Dear Hannah
Dear Hannah,
I am still working on "A Father's Heart Ep" it seems it's taking forever, but it has focused my energy on the positive nature of God's grace in getting me personally through the almost two years since your death. I'm so alone without your special place in my world, you always loved and accepted me even though my dreams of providing for you was a distant "someday." I will carry the torch for your foundation to the end of my life, in it I find affinity with your loving nature, and through it I will build a resting place that carries on your spirit. I have will also bury you in a place that your sister and mother can visit, laying flowers and singing songs of renewal and peace that you fostered in all our hearts. Missing you today and always, dad.
Reflection on a lovely life
Hannah was such a sweet girl and I loved her very much. When I was younger, I always looked forward to going to Reno, because we would visit with family. I liked seeing my favorite little cousins Sarah and Hannah. We would play, or they would tell me about what was going on in their lives. I loved when Hannah would play the piano for me; she was so talented at it. She was a very musically gifted young lady. One thing, out of many, that I loved about Hannah was that she seemed to always be smiling. Hannah was such a sweet soul and I think that even when things weren’t perfect in her life, she always appeared to be at peace. Seeing her always made me feel cheerful and happy. I hope that I can follow her example and learn to be a little happier more often and appreciate life no matter how it is going. I hope I can apply her attitude to my daily life and have just a bit of her strength, because I would have such a wellspring of might for whatever I may want do. I believe that all of us who knew this lovely young lady are truly blessed. I will miss Hannah greatly, but I hope to keep her loving energy near me by trying to remember her example and be that positive and happy energy to someone else. God Bless you Hannah, I will hold you in my heart always.
