Son

You gave no one a last farewell, nor did you say good-bye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. A million times we will miss you, a million times we will cry. In our hearts you hold a place, no one else ever can fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, the day God took you home. We thank God he made you OUR SON. While you were here on earth. We loved you beyond words, you will be missed beyond measure. We will meet again someday I know you’re in a better place. Always and forever in our hearts.
