Today is the second anniversary date of your death.

How the pain still feels sometimes causes us no rest.

One day life was so content,

Memories flood our minds; we know that is how it was meant.

As we go on with our every day life,

Some people ask, “How can you be so strong?”

Wade, if they only knew how they could be so wrong.

Angels all around you up above

Doing special things with all kinds of Love.

Everyday we must go on, no other choice to make.

Blessed we were to have you before God had to take.

Until we meet again, we must take one day at a time.

Courage it takes, sometimes, not to lose our mind.

Happy we will be to be reunited. Some days we can hardly wait.

As we wait for you to meet us at God’s Heavenly gate.

No one knows the things we learned from you at any rate.

And your time on Earth was for a purpose.

No more tears in Heaven will come to surface.

(Always in our hearts!)
Sadly missed and cherished,
Mom and Dad
