. you are, little one miracle gift life everything done in ways just right God’s hands to me… treasure box memories barney and friends endless rounds of goodnight moon and find the jumping cow… that Christmas when you hung five ornaments on the same branch and i left them there… and took a picture your cape and mask superman, batman and other made up heroes that always somehow gave me strength… the endless critters that ended up ‘neath our tree hamster, hermit crab tarantula and lizard… so i bought you a dog you were peter criss for halloween when your favorite song was detroit rock city already way too cool… those winter bedtime harry potter chapters we laughed hysterically when dobby ironed his hands remember…i do… . . . now…you are just these many memories brown~eyed boy as you go off to learn man lessons I can’t teach dad will show you how to shave and there will be driving lessons dances and dates high school this year… . but i gave you conscience and i showed you heartfelt i made you respect women and be a friend to have one and to give of your time… . now... fourteen and I can only get a hold of you by text or my space i leave messages anyway i don’t mind waiting… now…you are ipod cell phone and wii cornerstone concerts and first~place royal blue art ribbons… now…you are electric and acoustic guitar my most favorite moments when you play for me unasked… because you know i love it… always…i keep these treasure box memories scrap~booked heart happenings because you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me… and so, i set you free because that’s how i love you unconditionally, so spread your wings beautiful soul butterfly because i know you do you will, always come back to me miracle gift life you are, my little one. . don't wait for the storms to end~ learn how to dance in the rain... |

Shellie, a thank you for sharing your thoughts about your son. Yes it would bring tears to many and most of all your son. Letting Go As birds are given wings to fly and soar As high as needed to survive, So sons are given heart and nerve To answer callings, so they may thrive. jo perry Feb. 2006 |
