Not ours to know the reason why, unanswered is our prayer. But ours to wait for Gods own time to lift the cross I bare. In all I think and say and do I long, oh, God to honor you. But may my highest motives be to love the Christ who died for me. Oh my son , my son, I will never get over losing you and I will wait for the day to join you in Heaven with our Father. We will be at peace and joy once more, I love you my son Anthony. From Your Mom
