I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I can feel and understand your pain. I lost my son Matt a little over two weeks ago. Please find solace in God, your family, friends and the many memories your son left with you. He will always be with you in your heart. Hold him close and when you feel a gentle breeze, hear a song that reminds you of him, look up above for he is truly watching over you. We will see our babies again one day. God is our refuge and our strength. You will always be in my prayers and thoughts.

I thought of you with love today.
But that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
I think of you in silence.
I often speak your name.
Now all i have is memories.
And your picture from the game.
Your memory is my keepsake.
With which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
But i have you in my heart.
How can i live?
What am i to do?
Now a part of my heart,
Is buried with you.

Until We Meet Again.
Love Always,
Nicole
