I love you . . . I have a perfect sonnet. Lyrics tattooed on my shoulder because the last time I saw you you were obsessed with that song. " I'm coming to the final chapter . Read all of the pages still no answer. Only all that was before .

Mom misses you and mama, I or rather you and I would have went to pick-up mama from Palestine this past weekend or the upcoming weekend to spend Christmas and New Years with us. I need extra strength again Lord to make it through another Christmas. My guardian angels, thanks for the tree, your dad has already put it up, hopefully, David Wayne suggested we decorated this one as a family, wow, we haven't had a real top Christmas tree, probably before you were born:). Love and missing you and mama, both. Send you comfort to me and the family from heaven. You and Mama, keep watching over me, your dad, David Wayne, DeAnna and JoAnna, that we will experience the favor and presence of you both today and throughout the New Year 2016.

Demetrius,
Thanks for the many pennies from heaven today at Walgreens in DeAnna's neighborhood, the day I came back from CA. The ones in CA. I feel you are truly watching over your Mom. Love and miss you too, watch overDeAnna, David Wayne and JoAnna and your Dad. I enjoyed myself in CA. I wouldn't believe I went to the wedding, but I thought or did it in memory of my oldest sister Maxine, who left us too soon at 31. She didn't have the opportunity to raised her two little children Cynthia 2 yrs. old and son Bobby 5 years old. The ages might not be accurate. I took on your friendly, meeting no stranger, personality. Seeing nieces and nephews, grandnephews, grandnieces, and great grand nephews and great grand nieces also my older brother Earnest and older sisters, Mary Ellen and Nathan Lee. My niece Cynthia is a wonderful person. She and her husband Sheldon were so kind to let me stay with them for 2 week. They treated me so kind and made me feel at home and love and special.
Thanks for being with me in spirit. Cover David Wayne, DeAnna, JoAnna, your Dad and I with protection, from traffic accidents or any mishap daily by means of any transportation and
/or walking, talking, financially, physically, mentally and specially growing my closer to the Lord spiritually, who is truly in control of all our lives.
Love and miss you, MOM

Demetrius,
Thanks for teaching me the meaning of Epiphany and the Magi 3 Wise Men, and Jan.6, symbolizing the Christmas for us Gentiles. I still don't know how you knew so much about life and events, that I am still trying to figure out myself. Like, my piano lesson teacher, told me when we was up on
Mama Mae's patio, I can't remember the event, I think you were 2 yrs. old. and ironically thinking right now, you and my piano are still in the house, right now. She listened to how you seen to have so much wisdom and spoke liked an adult, too be so young, she told me, Annette, your little son has been here before,WOW. Still praying.
I have come to realize, some things, I will never understand, so I have to Let go and Let God.
Well goodnight, my sweet guardian angel.
Love.

Hello my dear old friend, its going to be your birthday on Friday. I can't believe how fast these years have gone by. Yet their are those days that seconds seem like hours, those days are accompanied with a great deal of pain. I usually wonder who you would be today. then i usually follow it with, what would you think of me today? I want to honor our friendship by living my life in a beautiful way. For you were taken too soon, people say time heals all wounds?! No your passing is not a wound that needs to be healed and forgotten. Instead i want to nurture it and keep you alive. Even if it is stories that my close friends have heard a million times. for love is the only immortal thing humans posses. My dear friend you were really loved. John and I will visit you on friday. I want you to know even though your gone physically your spirit is still apart of each soul you touched. I still listen to Bright eyes Perfect Sonnet and smile at the memory of you singing in my living room the last memory i have of us, I love you D.
