~*If We Could
Bring You Back Again*~

If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.

If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.

If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.

~LOVE Dejay!

August 22, 2007

Hi Blackie,
This is a bad day for me last night I dream about you and daddy and had to wake up once again to the fact that both of you are no longer here . I no this is not good for me but both of you were a very big part of my life. Maybe I should have had kids and than I might not feel so empty inside at time but as they say life goes on so I guess that missing daddy and you is a part of my life now.Boy there was a lot I had to say to both of you and did't take the time to say it. but I no that you both are not feeling anymore pain and compare to that my missing you is a small price to pay. Love and miss you both.

So if you meet sombody who is sad and feeling low just lend a hand to pick them up as you on your way. When you're walking down the street and you got Cil on your mind; She walking in your footsteps only a half a step behind. And when its time for us to go from the body to be free remember your're not going... You're coming here with me.

Ma you are so missed and loved. I remember the first time I told you that your were going to be a grandma, you were so excited. I then brought the news to you that your first grandchild (Sharnika) was going to be a mother, You laughed and I cried. I remember you telling me everything is going to be alright, After Taylor was born you reminded me when I cried so hard, You told me you had to hang the phone up because you were so tickled. I miss sharing things with you. Oh, how I miss you.
