7 years ago this day, August 2nd, my sweet son, Andrew died. It was the saddest day of my life. This was the last photo I have of him. It was taken on my birthday that year, a week before his death.
"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."
My little man getting his first big boy haricut. Seeing pictures helps me to "see" him. The chubby fingers, the long blonde eyelashes, the beautiful blue eyes...
The Crowned Princeby Suzanne Pace
*
One night a little prince was born
Heir to a higher throne
A choice and noble boy was he
Crowned with more than most could see
*
He played, he jumped, never walked, only ran
No one could catch him, not even the fastest man
For his speed and strength was his spirit unique
An exceptional gift from above, for him to keep
*
He was happy, carefree; it was life that he loved
With his white, blonde hair and baby blue eyes
What a beautiful sight he was to see
A miracle in him self was he
*
This little prince royally enjoyed
Being outside, pushing trucks and giving high fives
He love Cookie Monster, juice and food of all sorts
Dogs and cats were in for a treat
When our little prince, by chance, they should meet
*
The moon, he captured with each glimpse and word
He recognized all the good in his kingdom
All people he loved, and they adored him too
He touched many lives, many more than he knew
*
This little prince was royal above most
He was matchless and precious to his family
But it was to the royal courts he returned, so young
Back to our King, the prince's celestial crown he had won
*
We will see our prince again, he is ours for the keeping
We will know him someday
What a glorious meeting!
A royal holiday will be declared
To have our prince in our arms again
*
Can you imagine what he will say?
What will he want to play?
With bouncing balls, or watch a baseball game
Jump on his sister's bed or drink juice just the same?
*
Things will be perfect
Just wait and see
We will be complete, a royal eternal family
Andrew, I miss you each day of my life. I know you are never far, but I cannot wait for the day when I can hold you once again. I treasure the memories and leave nothing for granted. You have changed my life forever. I love you. Love, Mommy
