November 21, 2011

It's been a year since I could hold you in my arms,
I pray, smile, laugh and cry almost every day, as I think of you.
Your by my side every day, I miss you dearly.
I try to stay strong and let you lead me down the path,
You lift me when I start to fall, you push me when I'm getting weak, you whisper when I'm uncertain, and you smile when I am able to walk by myself..... Our selfishness makes us unable to understand that you are in a better place. One in which you can dance among the stars!
Thank You Momma,
For teaching us the differance between right and wrong.
For showing us how to be strong
For keeping us together
For always loving us

Your children

My love forever, your son Johnny.

On this day I am thankful for the joy's my Mother has bestowed upon me. I am proud and honored to have her in my life. Though my heart is torn, her love will mend. Though I am weak, her strength will rebuild. Though I am afraid, her courage will shelter. Though I am in anguish, her hope will restore. Though I am uncertain, her wisdom will teach. Though I am lonely, her embrace will comfort. Though I am in despair, her faith will guide. Though I am without, her compassion will. When I am without smile, I will look to the Heavens. One day, with the grace of God, I will again hold her hand forever. Fly my sweet Angel and rest within the comfort of His arms. I love you Mom. Your son, John
