Ken ,March is here again how I dread this time of year.
Double whammy for us, March always brings so many tears.
I know this is the way it has been since you left and probably will always be,
I meet so many other Moms whose grief I feel and pain I can clearly see.

It doesn't matter how long its been,in days. Months or years, the grief is still right there,
With each day the tears flow freely, we are so thankful we always showed how much we care.
Memories of you fill our minds, We can see you smiling, laughing with your pets and friends.
These memories are like photos engraved in our brains,every one, from beginning til end.

I couldn't stand to let you go, the pain was just too much to bear,
I tried to tell even Jesus this but at the time, I felt nobody cared.
I understand that He isn't the author of hurt, that He needed you and called you home,
Dad and Cam was always here to to console me and at times I still felt so alone.

Because I understood their grief was overwhelming them in so many different stages,
I read every book on grief that I could find, quickly searching through the pages.
Looking for an answer to a question we will never find,
For there is no answer for us, Why Ken? Why mine?

We hear some say it gets easier, others say this isn't true,
We have learned along the way the things we can and cannot do.
We think before we act for we avoid the things that make life even
Harder than it is or we know will make us weep.
We know that sometimes in this house there isnt any sleep.

We don't listen to others advice ,get over or get past,
We have so many cherished memories of you and our emotions we don't mask.
We are open with our feelings and cry if we feel the need for tears.
We do what our heart tells us to do, with our grief we are clear.

We live with the pain of losing you every single day,
We cherish each minute of each day we had with you, every step of the way.
You made our lives so much fuller, teaching us unconditional love.
We knew you were sent just for us from the good Lord above.

You will always be loved, my son, and you will remembered forever, you are always in our hearts,
We know a reunion is coming where we will never have to part.
Watch for us to enter and join you in that Paradise.
Where we will dwell with Jesus, our ultimate sacrifice.
Love you Son, Mom & Dad
