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
you all over
If I knew it was the last
time I was going to feel
your love, I would have
gave you all of mines
If I knew it was the last
time to see you smile and
laugh, I would have made
you smile and laugh that
whole time
If I knew it was the last
time I was going to feel
your world, I would have
made it last forever

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.
Stick
April 20, 2004
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 without breaking down. Life is hard and then it gets harder. Today Wendy sent me an article about this particular day 4/20 being a holiday for those that "smoke out" I laughed and thought of you, then I get an E-mail telling me there has been a new entry into this book. After 6 mos. Talk about co winky dink. It has been hard on all of us that loves you. All I have left from our immediate family is mommy and Troy and we promise to take care of each other. Not a day will go by that we will not think of you. I know you are watching over us and I will see you one day soon. Meet me in my in my dreams.
Love always

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, and Ayanna. Please make sure they are okay always. I love now and I always will.

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 SHAWN FOR THEM, THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU.
LOVING YOU ALWAYS

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 Daddy would want us to be and to make my DADDY proud of us. As if he was not already. Daddy I love you, Robbie loves you, and Ahmir loves you. And I pray to GOD that one day we will see each other again. OUR ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY!!
Love you Daddy

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
Life everyday. I prayed to GOD that they inherit that beautiful smile and your undying humor. I want them to challenge the world with the same spirit you had and never forget who they come from. We love you and always will.
Portia To My Sister & Niece

This is to my sister and my niece:
Life has so many questions and sometimes no answers. We as we are; strong, giving, gentle, have to keep it real as always. I love you both more than you can ever imagine. I just wanted to let you know that we will endure this and I love you both always no matter what, we are down for the count forever! PEACE

To my Heavenly Father
Where is my brother?
Can someone tell me where he's gone?
did you know him?
did you tell him?
did you love him like I did?
He's supposed to be here
Close enough to touch
but somehow I can't feel his him
will he meet me when I get there?
will he smile and hold me close?
this is my dream
my hope
my prayer.
Please, God, let him be there when it's time
Let him meet me at the gate.
I miss his smile
his laugh
his tears.
My hope is in you, Lord.
Who knows what you worked in my brother's heart in those last moments. I pray you revealed yourself to him and called him to your side to be with you.
And please, Lord, I pray he said "yes", and is with you even now.
Please let it be but a little while before I am with him again.
Please, Lord, I miss him so.
Maranatha, come Lord Jesus.
My heart is broken in pieces.
Come soon, please come soon.

TO THE MILLER CHILDREN AND FAMILY:
Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
We will all miss Shawn! That goes without question, but he still lives on through his children. May God bless you and keep you and as each day arise, you will gain a little more strength. To the mother of the Shawn's children. Today was a difficult day, I could never imagine what it is like to lose my child's father, but know that in your loss you possess something special and unique and that is the seeds of Shawn's fruit. Each one of them have some awesome charactersic of their father. They have been endured enough pain. As they continue to grow, they will have many questions. They will want to know about their dad. Just know that God is with you and let your memory of what God blessed you with manifest through your children to ease yours and your children's pain of losing Shawn.
Written by a mother!

Valita, I don't know exactly what to say to make you feel better, really I don't think there are any words I can say to you right now to make you feel better. But I can tell you that I know this is a very hard time and within due time it starts to get easier. Just continue to handle your business like you have been doing and be strong for Jalen, Robbie and Amir. God is not going put more on you than you can bear. It feels that way right now but after a while it gets easier. I am not going to say you will get over it but it will just get easier as time goes by. I love you and that goes without saying. Keep your head up.
Your cousin

TO THE FAMILY OF SHAWN MILLER
God looked around his garden,
And he found an empty place.
He then looked down on earth,
and saw your face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is stillour guide'
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Your family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God call you one by one,
The chain will link again .

In your time of sorrow and sadness, may God's Spirit comfort you through the ones who will encourage you through a hug,a kind word, a thoughtful gesture or holding your hands, that you are not alone.
May God comfort you and your family during your time of grief. Think on those things that reflect Shawn's personality, style and his beautiful smile.
May your heart know God's peace that passes all understanding.
In Memory to Shawn, he will be forever missed.

AND GOD SAID
I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, I know."
I said, "God, I cry a lot."
And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."
I said, "God, I am so depressed."
And God said, "That is why I gave you Sunshine."
I said, "God, life is so hard."
And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."
I said, "God, my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said, I saw mine nailed to a cross."
I said, "God, but your loved one lives."
And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said,
"Mine is on My right and yours is in theLight."
I said, "God, it hurts."
And God said, I know."
Try To Understand
Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around,
But he did not appear.
He said: "Mom you've got to listen,
You've got to understand
God didn't take me from you, mom
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.
He pulled me up and saved me, mom
From the misery and pain.
My body was hurt so badly inside,
You know, I would never be the same.
My search is really over now,
From my aimless wandering,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
Tell my children I love and miss them so,
And I'll always be nearby,
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!
And so, mom, you must go on now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand
God did not take me from you, mom,
He only took my hand.
