A poem to my son
You were the reason I loved being a mother. My first chocolate baby, my pride and joy. You were a blessing from god which, I loved to share with the world. I know I can't say this enough, but I love you baby boy and mommy will miss you dearly. I am so proud of all your accomplishments. The love and bond we have might be broken now that your my angel, but it will never go away. Since you went to be with the lord it's been hard for me cause it's been the 3 of us and now it's 2. Thank you for all the love, hugs, kisses and talks we had. Mommy loves you and I hope your with our family up there and your safe.
My brothers keeper
I know words can't explain how much you meant to me even if we fight like most siblings do. I thank you for being my older brother, father figure and most of all my friend. It's been hard for me cause I can't call you and say let me tell you what your mother did then we would laugh. I have been your cheerleader from the beginning and I will always be cause this is not the end. I miss your laugh, you saying yes boss when I tell you what to do and not to do. I hope your not stomping around heaven with those boots on lol. My brother gallstones, Dee day, black, Trix, X or any other name I've ever called you will always live on. Your home now and got you wings. Please keep watching over us cause I'm loss without you. Love you lots gallstones.
