A poem from me to you!


If I knew it was the last
time I was going to hold
you, I would have held
you a longer

If I knew it was the last
time I was going to kiss
you, I would have kissed
you a longer

If I knew it was the last
time I was going to look
in your eyes, I would have
stared deeply in your eyes

If I knew it was the last
time I was going to touch
you, I would have touched...

It's been two years now, and the days are getting a little easier. I still can't believe your gone. Sometimes I think it was all just a bad dream, but then reality hits. Those are the toughest days of all. Our little boy is getting so big, he looks and acts just like you. But I'm sure you can see that.
You are still the greatest love I ever had and I will always hold you close to my heart.I love you today as I have from the start,
and I'll love you forever with all of my heart.

6 mos have gone by and yet it still seems like yesterday. Trying to get through the days is still hard. Denial works best for me. I try to imagine that you went to Detroit for a minute and I will see you soon. That is how I cope. No one will ever call me "Stick" again and I will never say "Bono". I actually find myself saying " what up Stick" like I was you. I know crazy right?I pray all the time that mommy finds some peace but I see the sadness in her eyes and she still can't talk about you...

My Dearest Shawn,
The man of my life, I will miss you forever. You brought me nothing but joy. You mean the world to me. I will never understand why you were taken from me. I will never understand why our kids are growing up without thier father. Cass will never have met you, but he will always know you. I will keep you alive for him, and the rest of our babies.I hope I can raise him to be the man, you and I hoped to raise him to be. Please watch over Cass, Jalen, Robbie, Amir, Taji,...

SHAWN...EVERYTIME I LOOK AT THE SKY I SEE YOUR SMILE AND YOU ARE SAYING
"AUNTIE....LET ME GET A CIGARETTE!3 OF MY BABIES ARE GONE...BUT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE 1ST DAY OF SCHOOL,RUNNY NOSES,FEVER,FIGHTS...(OTHERS & AMONG YOURSELVES) YOU GUYS WERE THEIR SONS....BUT MY BABIES!!

LOVE ALWAYS
&
FOREVER.....AUNTIE MAE

I PICKED UP THE PHONE TODAY TO CALL YOU.
THEN I REMEMBER...YOU ARE NOT HERE ANYMORE.
THEN I LOOKED AROUND AND I SAW SIX OF YOU.
YOUR EYES WITH THE TWINKLE IN IT. YOUR SMILE WITH THE LITTLE LINES ON EACH CONNER OF YOUR MOUTH.
THE WAY YOU HOLD HOLD YOUR HEAD TO TO ONE SIDE.
THEN I REALIZE I WILL ALWAYS SEE YOU IN THEM.
I CAN TEACH THEM LIKE YOU..LAUGH WITH THEM LIKE YOU..CRY WITH THEM LIKE YOU..PLAY WITH THEM LIKE YOU ALL OVER AGAIN.
THANK YOU...

Daddy

Where are you? I've been waiting to see that silly smile of yours every time you came home. What happened to my daddy, who took him from me and my brothers!!! Did they know us and how much we loved him. did they know how MUCH my daddy LOVED his BOYS. I miss my daddy and my brothers do too. Mommie cries herself to sleep everynight. This is my nightmare forever and I'm only 9. Now I have to a big boy to teach my little brothers to grow up to be fine young men, they way...

I am so very sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy to his entire family. Nicole and I worked together at Scholastic. My sincere condolences to the Miller family.

My Dearest Shawn
There isn’t enough paper to
Write how I feel. There isn’t a bucket big enough
To hold the tears I have cried and will continue to cry
For 14 years we have seen some sunny days and some rainy days
And although it seemed our lives were taking different directions
We knew what we meant to each other and that we had not had our last dance
Thank you for our beautiful son’s. They will never forget you. We will celebrate your
...
