NEUFELD, Grant
May 20, 1993 - December 5, 2013

Twelve years you have been gone Grant
There is a hole in my heart where your laughter
once lived, where your voice echo's softly
It's a silence that roars in the depths of my soul
An ache that reminds me I'll never be whole.
I reach through the memories, fragile and dear
still chasing your shadow,
still holding you near.
The birthdays, the fun, all the plans left undone
They say time is healing, but I know the truth
Some wounds never close,
not with distance or time
This hole is a sacred and sorrowful place
where love keeps on shining,
still shaped like your face
I smile for the world, but it's not the same,
For part of me left when
Heaven called your name
You were joy, you were light, a gift from above
and this pain is the price of unconditional love
But I'll see you again this I know, this I trust
Until then, I'll live with this ache and this grace
Missing your smirk, your voice, and your face
You are my son-my soul's sweetest part
and your name is still written
on the hole in my heart

I love you forever, Mom

Forever missed, Mom (Kimberley), brother (Andrew), Grandmom, (Ruth), extended family, and your amazing friends that continue to surround and love me.
