I'am sorry to hear about Kevin. I used to go skating with him a long time ago. I was shocked when i heard about what happened.

This is a poem I wrote for Mine and Kevins Children to have one day.



A Letter From Daddy



Hello, it's me your Daddy

And I wanted you to know

I'm really very sorry

I couldnt say goodbye before I had to go



If I could relive yesterday, I thought for just awhile

I'd say goodbye and kiss you all

And maybe see you smile



There are so many things I wish I could have said

I wish I could have held you , told you I loved you

And just once more have tucked you into bed.



I want us to be together you see

But today God has other plans for me

I ask that you not grieve for me

For God has only set me free.



Don't worry , we will meet again

And remember we're not really apart

As for when I crossed over

I carried you in my heart.



So when Tommorrow starts without me

Don't think we're far apart

For every time you think of me

Look down , I'm right there in your heart.
