23 Years

23 years ago around this time our world stopped.  By this time our family had heard the news and rushed to be at our side in the hospital as we waited to bring our sweet son into this world, still.

There would be no need for the crib, all the wonderful shower gifts from just a few days before.  There will be no birthdays to celebrate, no first steps, no teeth coming in, no first day of school, no baptism, no graduation from high school or college.  There would be no sweet heart, or wife and no grand-babies.

Just empty arms, a gaping hole in our hearts and a seeping wound that would never heal.

Tomorrow night around 9 pm will be the first and only time I held your sweet little body, hello and goodbye all at once.

I honestly didn't think I would survive, somehow 23 years have passed.  I can't even say it went by in a blink of an eye, it didn't.  This time on earth is dragging on, feels like an eternity until I'm with you again.

Happy Heavenly 23rd Birthday Son.  I love you and can't wait to see you again!
