My son, there are so many memories keep flooding back of our life together. I can only remember the good ones. You were so handsome, some said you were to pretty to be a boy. I am very proud of you, you had some difficult task in your life time that you got thru with flying colors, you did what you had to do to make it work. You always had respect and were truthful with me. I thank GOD for giving you to me and at a such youg age. I love you and will miss you, but I will see you someday soon, MOM
