MY CONFESSION
My mind replays that day, I start to panic, my stomachs then gets sick
My mind tries to escape this reality telling me its some kind of trick
Its been nearly three months since that dreadful day
When before we knew what was happening, God took you away
Its hard to think of how you will never ever again be here
God knew that loosing a child was my deepest darkest fear
Now every day its getting so much harder to stay strong
Without you here my life just truly feels so wrong
While part of me is grateful you won't feel the burdens of life
Your freedom was quite costly and a double sided knife
Your death has left us helpless, lost and wondering why
Why you? Instead it should have been one of us to die
Then I'm torn to think you'll never know what certain things are like
No proms, no bars, no college and the privilege of only ever driving a bike
The many things that we won't ever get the chance to do
Its kind of like each one of our lives are centered around just you
And because your memories are the only thing of you left now
Its hard for us to move forward, we really don't know how
How can we move forward when all of you is in the past
And we never knew all of these memories would be our very last

The I love you's, all the hugs, your precious little kisses
Are just a few of the many things a grieving mother after misses
The way your hair came down and waved across your brow
The determination and demand of getting things your way right now
The sweet chaos and commotion, yelling "Ashton settle down!"
Now your playful laughter is remembered through a frown
The times you bragged that you were finally getting taller
Then jokingly rubbing it in my face of how now I was truly smaller
I still have your alarm clock set to 6 am for you to wake
The joy of getting you up on the morning has been the hardest thing to take
Cause in my mind these words will probably never go away
"Mom, if I get up and ready really quick, can I go back to sleep?" you'd say
I keep catching myself making an extra plate because of you
It used to be my top priority, the motherly things we do
I remember telling you about how sorry I felt inside
Not buying you new school clothes this year and how it hurt my pride
As you sincerely looked into my eyes and calmly said it was ok
"I already have nice clothes and don't need new ones right away".
The last twelve months I've watched you bloom in every way
My baby growing up to be a little man each day
Our recent fishing trips will be the most cherished memories I have of you
The walk we had when you reminded me, lifes about perspective and how you choose to put it into view
So I'm reflecting back for all it's worth to focus on the good
I know you did your very best in every thing you ever could
And in the end you taught me lessons that I never would have got
You'll never know the joy and love your little spirit brought
With All My Love Baby.. Until We Meet Again!!!

When Ashton first started going to Grant, he would be eagerly waiting at the crosswalk in the morning. He was always hoping to be able to turn on the light. His smile and excitement at that time has always brought me joy. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

I met Ashton when he was in the first grade at Grant Elementary. I had the privilege of working with him on a daily basis, and it didn't take long for him to become one of my all time favorite students. He loved to play Word Sound Bingo in first grade, and because I knew he enjoyed it so much, I made sure we played it a lot! I loved watching Ashton advance from year to year. He liked to play jokes on me, and he was always so fun and kind. A smart boy that worked so hard and wanted to make those around him proud. I went to a different school for a couple of years, and when I came back to Grant, Ashton was the first person that came up to me and said, "Hi! Remember me?" And I responded, "Of course I remember you, Ashton! You are unforgettable!" He always had a smile on his face, and it made me smile just to see him. He is such a great kid, and I am heart broken that he is no longer here on earth with us. We have all gained a special angel. Please know that my thoughts, prayers, and best wishes are with you at this sad and difficult time.
