Today, I discovered that I lost my son. I dont know where is he. I dont know if he's fine and I certainly dont know how is he living. I know its too late and Im the one behind his loss. Im sorry son, Im really sorry, I know that you're going to forgive me. You actually know how aggressive Vince is and that I do not have the power in this relationship. I miss you son, I want to talk to you. I miss our conversation. I miss how we used to talk every minute of everyday and how I was able to tell you everything that was on my mind. We used to have some quality time together and I know that Im the one behind all those beautiful things that disappeared. If you came back, i promise i’m going to be another person. I’m going to take good care of you. Trust me. I wonder if a miracle could happen and that you could listen to what i’m writing now. I miss you, i really mean. I miss your smile, I miss your voice. I miss your laugh. I miss you next to me. I miss your jokes. I miss holding your hand. I miss your hug. I miss you so much that i can feel my heart breaking. When you came back for christmas, I wanted to hug you and promise you that this won’t happen again, but you’re the only one who knows Vince right? you know that he’s a boozer and that i cannot control anything. I’m sorry Son, I’m sorry. …show more content…
It broke my heart to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of me went with you the day you left home. God please, bring my son back. I really miss
“Don’t worry Austin you did the best you could, and that’s all that matters.”, said my best friend, Dominick,
The lost of a child; who knew the pain? Who knew it would be a pain that could not be explained? Who knew you would have to force yourself not to cry all day and everyday? Who knew no words could take away this hurt? Who knew I would have to deal with this pain? Who knew I would be the one going through this pain? No words could ever explain the lost of a child?
All of the memories that I had with Cody came flooding back all at once. All the memories of cattle shows, to spending time talking in barns, to him taking my sister under his wing when I couldn’t. I was never going to see his cheesy smirk again. I was never going to be able to call him and ask him to come clip one of my calves. I lost a dear friend, a brother, and I was never going to see him again.
You are the light in my life, my happiest thought in the darkest of times. I know that you’re always there for me, no matter what. I have so many wonderful memories with you in the time that we have been together. It seems that everything about you fills my heart with love, even a simple smile makes my heart beat faster. Even after a year being with you, I find myself falling more and more in love with you each time I’m with you. It’s like an endless sea; the moment I think I cannot love you anymore, you do something so warm and thoughtful, and the ocean overflows. I find it hard to put into words just how much you mean to me, because I feel as if there are not enough words in the world to say how I truly feel towards you. You have flipped my whole world upside-down, I never knew how committed and passionate I could be for
The janitor replied by saying “Nothing personal but by the time I'm through with this is it really going to matter.” Vince overcame a lot not even a janitor believed in him. One person who always believed in Vince though was his dad Frank Papale; he believed Vince could play professional and when Vince was officially a Philadelphia Eagle he made his father so proud. Vince excelled at being a kickoff defender and became a star player on the special teams; helping the Eagles win their first game of the season by forcing a fumble and picking it up and running it in for a touchdown. When Vince started producing on the field and scored that touchdown Vince’s dad Frank told him. “That touchdown got me through 30 years at that factory. Got me through all those times your mother being sick. When I told you not to get your hopes up...didn't mean that I
Hey my baby!! I'm missing you even more. Glad to know you made it safe your letter had me sad one minute then laughing the next. Honestly, it didn't hit me that you were actually leaving me until our last call (I was so messed up after we hung up the phone). I woke up the very next morning searched your name you was gone man I was so hurt I was concerned and thinking of you all day bae! I still thinkin about you every second just wondering what you doing and are you ok stuff like that. However, I have not cried are you proud of me? I have been holding up just fine taking it one day at a time. Ready to start school Monday excited as I told you with me being so focused on that it will help me to not be as down or thinkin too much about you being
I would cry myself to sleep every night wondering why you had to leave. I felt empty inside. Just a shell of who I once was. My parents were so worried about me, but I couldn’t stop the unbearable pain it caused in my chest. My lips would tremble and my eyes would water at just the thought of you. There was a constant frown on my face that made me look like a sad clown. You were my hero. The person I looked up to and was proud to know. Many kids looked up to celebrities and sports stars at that age, but I looked up to you. I wanted to be like you and be everything you taught me to be. When you passed away, I felt as if my life got turned upside down and nothing made me happy anymore. I didn’t know how to get passed the sadness and grief. I was so overwhelmed and
What do I do now that you’re gone? Well, when there’s nothing else going on, which is quite often, I sit in a corner and I cry until I am too numbed to feel. Paralyzed motionless for a while, nothing moving inside or out. Then I think how much I miss you. Then I feel fear, pain, loneliness, desolation. Then I cry until I am too numbed to feel. Interesting pastime.
I love you with all my heart Tabitha. I love you so much. It hurts me to sit here thinking about you and knowing that I will not be able to see you for 14 months. Even after talking to you twice today I came back to my room, set out our picture, and I became emotional just looking at your picture and thinking about you.
I constantly wish I was with you, and the days I’m not with you, or the times I go awhile without seeing you, I feel like a part of me is missing. You’re my best friend, boyfriend, cuddle buddy, and ultimately the love of my life. You don’t even know how much I hate hearing that the both of us don’t know if we are going to be together in a year, five years, or ten. I don’t want anyone else. I’m scared of how I’ll be if you and I break up. I know if that ever does come to be finding someone will be so difficult because I’ll compare them to you the entire way through. I will always love you, no matter if we end on bad terms or good. Thank you so much for being so good to me and always putting up with
Today as I have sat here and listened to every last word that you have said I see the amount of damage I have caused you. I promised you so many things and look how many I gave you if I could go back in time and start from scratch I would start with making sure that I drove to see you no matter how much it would have upset my family. There were times that I thought you understood where I was coming from but it is clear to me now that I have broke you down more than I would ever want to imagine. You say that you love me and you care about me more than you have for anyone you say that I changed your life. Only if you realized how much you have changed mine you have made me love myself and be proud of who I am still to this day though we have had some pretty rough times you hold me up.
He was killed in a car accident five years ago. I was adopted and had always felt the desire to be a mother. Now I had to find a reason to go on with my life, a reason to start over. My desire to move forward was stronger than my need to stay stuck in grief. So I made the decision to move to Florida and to go back to school.
When you got sick and the doctors told me I should hold you back you taught me it was more important to feel and grow like any other child than to have me hide you under my wing. It was more important to live. And that you did. You danced so beautifully, for years. And then your greatest joy, cheerleading. You made me so proud. You have always been my greatest pride and joy. I'm not sure how I can live this life without you. Remember when you would cry and tell me you were so afraid because you didn't want me to die before you. And I would tell you I wasn't going to die. And remember me saying you couldn't die before me, so we agreed, we had to go at the same time because neither of us could live without the other.
I hate you with everything in me. You are the downright most awful, uncaring, and selfish person I know. You broke my heart into a million pieces that still, to this day, I haven’t fixed. I loved you so much, I poured my heart out to you and gave you everything I had. I put your happiness before mine which was the most stupid thing I have ever done.
I’ve been missing you a lot since coming back to school. You’ve always kind of been my person that I go to when I need someone to hang out with or to talk to. It’s just hard trying to find that again. Liz and Lauren have been really nice to me but it just feels like everything takes so much effort that sometimes I’d rather not have to try so
