Christmas 2004

Just 2 years an 7 months ago you were stolen from this earth.

Where has the time went? Where has my heart gone? We have made do without the glowing smile of you one more Christmas. I miss you so, Jimmy.

You see where I helped this year. Oh, how hard that was. I know it was what I neeed to do for others, but to know a present for you was not under the tree made me want the day over with. I even put your stocking up and felt you warm smile. I did it though and know you were with me as I made it through the day with all the hurts only a family can bring to one another. I keep hearing how strong I will become as I go through these many "trials." It hurts to see the seperation of this family and know I cannot do anything, but pray someday it won't be like this.

Now a new year is coming and I am forcing myself to participate in this. Remembering the pain I had on the last New Year you were here is not something I want to remember, but it is in my memory. To haunt me and remind me though of the hour you came home, again. Thank God for your wife, she knew where you needed to be! I will forever be thankful to her for urging you to come back after you thought you couldn't. I hope you are as happy about that as I am, still to this day.

Together Forever

Once you were here and I was so elated

Where did the time go that we were suposed have?

Now I am not sure as to where I am to go

My mind has begged for memories once faded.

Missing you has not changed in mind or heart

I can still feel the pain of being and hear your voice.

I wanted to spend time with you, my son.

Now that has been taken and torn apart.

Someday soon will be our day together

Showing conceren and love for all others

When that day comes and it seems so far away

We will hold each other again, forever!
