Dear Darren, Even though it hasn't been long Since the day that you've been gone People tell us, " time will heal……" But not having you here seems so unreal.
I feel like I'm living in a dream – Then reality hits……and I want to scream: You are our baby , my last born son And with your short life, We know we weren't done With teaching and loving and caring that's true, And all of life's treasures we wanted for you.
We keep thinking what we would do, If we had another moment to say I love you.
How would we fill that moment we long of, Except with words conveying our love. Can't be thankful for what we have not – But do try and be thankful for all we've got.
It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you.
