This is for my son Jon who was loved as much as anyone could ever be loved.
To my son
Life is so cruel and unfair when it tears the heart in two
And theres nothing in this world compared to the pain of losing you.
Of all the special gifts in life
be they great or small
To have had you as my son
was the greatest gift of all
Special times, your special face,
My special son, just cant be replaced
With my heart torn so deep, and my whisper low
I miss you son=And love you so.

Remembering Jonathan..
I go through all our old photographs Jon,
all the memories made over your short years.
These pictures are worth more than a million words,
and they always seem to bring my soul to tears.
As I look at each one carefully,
the memories reliving over and over in my mind.
I often wonder what the future would've held,
if you were still with us and hadn't left us behind.
We never could we have known on that warm May day,
how suddenly our lives would turn so horribly dark.
It changed us all forever more,
leaving our souls feeling empty, cold & stark.
No new birthdays - no Christmas morning joy,
no writing "I love you" in the sand at the beach.
No hooking pinky fingers as we walk along together,
these hand and fingers are no longer within reach.
Our journey through this life is captured on paper,
and if not for these photos would soon disappear.
Faded out of our minds like the joy in our hearts,
as we bittersweetly remember through the years.

Never Forgotten
He passed away that Friday night
His death took us by surprise
Never again will we see him smile
Or look into his twinkling eyes
His body is so cold now
Yet his hands they are so warm
His eyes no longer twinkling, just stare
And you realize that he's gone
I'm in this place, this dreadful room
And I feel so all alone
Knowing that when I leave this place
He is never coming home
The next day as I wake
And I hope it was all a bad dream
Reality sets in that his life has ended
And inside all I do is scream
As the following days slowly unfold
Living with unspeakable, unbearable pain
Although in the sky the sun it still shines
All I see are dark clouds and rain
The pain and tears echo in my heart
Because he was much too young
He had so much to offer this world
My Jon was only 21.
I love you & miss you so Jonathan
