My dearest son,
We honored you and your Dad yesterday and sent balloons to heaven . One blue balloon was still at the top of the tree like a solitary star when I left !
I stood by the cemetery markers, I see the dates , but I still expect you to come through the door & I long to see your smile and hear your voice , but I know that can never happen my son.
It has been 20 years today and life does goes on but there is always that empty spot in everything we do .
You & Dad would be so proud of the wonderful man your brother is and his daughter is a lot like you were as a kid.
Your daughter looks so much like you it’s simply unbelievable and she also has your dry sense of humor.
You are both missed so much words can never express the feeling .
It is hard for all of us in our own way , but I know one day I will see you and Dad again....I just want you both to meet me when it’s my time .
Love you my son , Mom
