We shall miss you Uncle Jose

there is nothing I can do ,to make him come back
there are no words I can say ,that can replace his words

There are no answers I can give that willl satisfy our questions,
There is not another soul I can introduce to you,
That will ever replace his,
And there is no love I can offer you
That will ever replace the love you shared

I cannot promise our broken hearts
will ever be complete,
I will not say that it could have been worse
I will not deny that it was a tragedy
I will not lie and tell you he will be back

HE NEVER LEFT

I do promise you he hears us when we speak
I will say he loves us no matter what the distance
I will not deny he is in a better place
and will not lie he is waiting to greet us someday

He is every step we take
He is everything we do
He is the air we breathe
He is every beat of our hearts

He is like the wind, you can't see him, but you will feel him ..

I love you ..you are always in my thoughts and heart...
