Faded photographs,
the feelings all come back,
even now sometimes
you feel so near,
And I still see your face
like it was yesterday
it`s strange how the days
turned into years...
Years of hanging on
to dreams already gone
years of wishing you were here
after all this time you'de think
i wouldn't cry, it`s just
that I still love you
after all these years
Night time gently falls,
another day is gone,
I turn around to find
you're still not here...
I'll leave the hall light on
in case you come back home,
funny,
I've been saying that
for years...
Years of hanging on
to dreams already gone,
Years of wishing you were here,
after all this time
you`d think I wouldn't cry
it`s just that I still love you
after all these years
after all these years
Go ahead and mention my child,
The one that died you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further.
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry
I'm already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
The tears that I try to hide.
I'm hurt when you just keep silent,
Pretending he didn't exist.
I'd rather you mention my child,
Knowing that he has been missed.
If i could have a lifetime wish
a dream that would come true
I'd pray to God with all my heart
for yesterday and you
A thousand words can't bring you back
I know because I've tried
And neither would a million tears
I know because I've cried
You left behind a broken heart
and happy memories too
I never wanted memories
I only wanted you.
Butterflies, the symbol of new life and rebirth are fluttering all around...
Delicate wings...colors like sky and grass and the earth.
Their flight is a motion of freedom and calmness and is so beautiful to see.
Please let death be a butterfly with our loved ones soaring in an existence that is too wonderful for us to comprehend!

Ten Years In Heaven
A Letter To My Son Kenny In Heaven
Dear Kenny,
It's so hard to write what I'm feeling...HURT...
That's the one word that keeps coming to my mind.
Hurt that your not here,
Hurt because I'll never see what you'de look like NOW,
Hurt because all your dreams are also gone,
Hurt because everyday this stays with me (missing you),
I hurt sometimes because I wonder if you were still here would you be married?Have kids?Traveled?
Oh Kenny everything I wonder hurts so bad.
I try to think of the good times like going out to eat, hanging out up on the roof,listening to you and Buffy talking and laughing together,the times you both went downtown
(and sometimes I tagged along),going to the park together You Me & Buffy,moving to edison and you & your friends hanging out together...
OH Your Laugh, Kenny I can still hear Your Laughter (and I thank our Blessed Mother everyday that I can still remember your laughter)...
I can still remember listing to you & your sister Buffy laughing together and hanging out together, Ever since you were a little boy Buffy and you were so close...Of course you both had your share of disagreements, BUT You were always so close to each other, Sometimes that hurts now because Buff misses you so much Ken.
I know you are still with us in spirit, We feel you and know that there are somethings that you send to let us know you'll always be with us, BUT Kenny I wish you were here like you used to be...
I can wish for that, but we know that the next time I see you will be there where you are, Please know how very much we love you Ken, And we ALWAYS will.
I Pray Our Blessed Mother Mary watches over and loves you Kenny Till I can be there with you.
Your forever My Son and now your My Angel
I Love You,
Mom
