Good evening my son, today marks the 2nd year when we watched, cried, begged and many other feelings when you were placed at your final resting place, the cemetery. It is as if it was yesterday. I wished a million times that I could fix this. However, I don’t have that power. It’s not like when you were a small boy and you’d scrape your knee, mommy would place a bandage over it and it would heal. There is no way a bandage is big enough to fix this. So I’ll keep waiting, remembering, and deal with the pain on a daily bases until I see you again. I love you son!!! I miss you beyond this earth. Please come and see me at times.
