Sept. 1988-Sept. 1998

You were given to us for only a short time
What a blessing you were to everyone's life
You will be missed each and every day that passes.

This is the last picture of our sweet boy...one of the best he had ever taken.  This school picture was taken in Aug. 1998.  This is his 4th grade portrait. 

This picture was taken in the Summer of 1997.  He was 8 yrs. old however this little man was already playing on the 9-10yr. old team. 

                                   GOODBYE MY BABY

All my life I've been floating around.
Spending my time looking down at the ground.
Suddenly it stopped and I started to fall,
Just as I realized what you'd given us all.

The world went on,
Though I thought it should end.
I know in my heart life does not bend.
I'm falling so fast I don't know what to do.
My life's not the same at all without you.

I know you are waiting somewhere up there,
Looking out for me way down here.
I look up at the stars and see yours shining bright.
It makes me long to hold you tight.

How do I go on without you by my side?
I wish I could crawl in my bed and hide.
But how can I when I know how disappointed you'd be,
When you look down and see what has become of me.

I'll go on, but only for you,
Because I know thats what you would have wanted me to do.
I'll remember you forever, for how could I forget?
The bond we shared hasn't broken yet.
