"Alex" If I had only known the last time would have been the last time. I would've stayed a little longer, held on a little tighter. What would I give for one more day with you. There is a wound here in m heart where something is missing. I know you're in a place where all your wounds have been erased. And knowing yours are healed is healing mine. There'll be no such thing as broken all the old will be made new. The thoughts that make me smile now even as the tears fall down. Is that the only scars in heaven are on the hands that held you. I know the road you walked was anything but easy. You picked up you share of scars along the way. Now you're standing in the sun, you fought your fight and your race has been ran. You live on in the better part of me. until I am standing with you in the sun and can see what you see. - Love Always Mom
