Justice wants to do something special for her brother so she and my niece, Jalana, have been busy planning a candlelight vigil with balloon release for John. Jalana was very close to John ever since elementary school so I’m happy she’s able to help Justice organize the vigil.
When Justice let me know what she wanted to do for her brother, It warmed my heart. They were so close. I told her it’s a beautiful idea and I’m so proud of her for putting this together. All I have to do is show up, which is fine with me because to be honest, that’s just about all I can do at this point.
Meanwhile my heart continues to mend, and I continue to cry at some point on a daily basis.
I miss my son.
More than words can ever say.
If Tears Could Build A Stairway
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
I would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why
My heart still aches with sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know
But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you’ll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you’ll always stay
