If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane
We would walk all the way to Heaven
To bring you home again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What is meant to lose you
No one will ever know
If I could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
I would wish with all my heart
For yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back,
I know because I've tried.
Neither will a million tears,
I know because I've cried.
You left behind my broken heart
and happy memories too.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much more in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

Poem
Dear Damon,
        I just want you to know how proud I am of all your accomplishments in life.  I know how much you loved me and the kids.  Thank you so much for everything you did for us.  You took very good care of us.  I just can't believe you are gone from us forever.  My heart aches so bad.  It is very hard for me to figure out if you meant to do this or not.  Damon, if you were really depressed and thinking about doing this for a while, I am so sorry.  If I would've known, I would've done anything to try and help you.  You asked me a few times why I stayed with you.  I stayed with you because I loved you so much and I knew that you were a great person.  You had the biggest heart of anyone I've ever known.  You were always there to help anyone in need.  I envied that about you.  You will never know how much you meant to everyone who knew you.  Something tells me that this whole thing was just a terrible accident.  I know that you never wanted to leave me and especially the kids behind.  The funny thing is, either way, I feel a tremendous amount of guilt.  If you were just waiting for me to come out there so that you could scare me, I am so sorry that I didn't.  I never wanted you to end your life.  I hope you knew that and, I really hope you knew how much I loved you.  The kids miss you and they loved you so much- you were their daddy!  I am praying that God watches over you.  I know that you are watching over us.  We are going to be able to keep our house (one of your great accomplishments)!  Please watch over us there.  I love you so much baby and I will see you again when the time comes.
                                                       Love your wife,
                                                       Kim
P.S. Please keep the dreams coming, they make me feel good.
I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU OR STOP LOVING YOU.
This is a letter that I wrote to Damon and buried next to his headstone.  The kids also drew him a picture.
