Title: I was just wondering
Post by: shelly Tristans mom on April 12, 2007, 08:26:28 PM
I am going to put a memoriam in the paper for Tristan's Birthday on the 19th of May. I was wondering if a revised version of my letter to him would be appropriate?? 

Please be honest if it isn't okay. I value everyone's opinion on this board.

(((((((((((Hugs to all))))))))))))))))))
Shelly, Tristan's Mom

My dear son,
 Not an hour goes by that I don't think of you. Not a day goes by that I don't smile a smile or shed some tears when you drift into my memory. How sad I feel when I see the signs of spring coming again, or hear a new song on the radio, or get exciting news from our loved ones. Sad because you are missing out on these pleasures. Sad because I am missing you. Sad that so much has happened in the past year and it has all been over shadowed by the deep sense of loss that overwhelms me everyday.
 I will treasure every memory of you forever. I will always be thankful to God that I had you for those 22 yrs, 10 months and 12 days. Thankful that you were healthy and happy and loved and that you loved in return. Thankful that the last words I spoke to you were "I love you"
I believe that God had a plan for you and I believe that you completed what he had laid out for you, I just wish he could have waited a while longer to take you back to heaven. I miss you son. Love Mom

Shelly, I think it is absolutely perfect.  Certainly is appropriate.  I do the same on each of Donny's Angel dates.  Print how you feel, how much more caring can that be?
