My son, I will forever have a scar on my heart. I wish I would have been with you more. I wonder what would have happened had you answered my e-mail. I love you and my life will forever be changed. A part of me has died along with you. If I could just trade places with you, I'd do it in a heartbeat. My thoughts and my hope that you have gone to a better place offer some relief. When i see a forest I will think of your eyes, so beautiful and green. My debt to you will never be paid, I will be forever in pain over losing you.
