" That Smile "
I wasn't able to accept he is gone,.. I find myself talking to him like always.. seeing him smile with those huge beautiful dimples !!! Telling me " Stupid " and making me crack up laughing... and then instantly I would forget whatever was bothering me.. he always had that gift!!! He had the biggest heart, always willing to listen and help anyone... crazy wicked artistic talent!! Always made me feel special and gave me courage to face anything... He LOVED his mom with all he had, forever and always he will live in my heart!aHxNE
