Poem of the Month– June
This is one I wrote for Derrick. My sister-in-law helped me have it framed and it is on our mantle downstairs. It looks really beautiful. Happy father’s day to all the dads. Love, Susan
From Daddy. with Love
Hello, My dear sweet angel child.
How I long to see your face,
To hold you in my arms,
and tell you how much I love you.
You were the one who made my life whole.
You were my first born, my blue-eyed girl.
I learned so much from you.
You made me proud– every day.
Thank you for teaching my how to be a Daddy.
Thank you for your love, your hugs and kisses.
Thank you for being such a wonderful big sister.
Thank you for being your mama’s big girl.
I never thought that I could live without you.
I never imagined that I would have to.
Sometimes I don’t feel like I want to live.
But your sisters are still here, and they need me.
I close my eyes at night to try and see you.
I have trouble sleeping and wake up missing you.
You will never ever be forgotten.
I have to keep going, but I’ll never be the same.
I’ve asked God to send me a sign that you are with Him.
I haven’t heard from Him yet.
But I’ll keep reaching and trying to find you.
Save me a place at Heaven’s Gate.
Good night for now my beautiful girl.
I will never say good-bye to you.
You’ll live in my heart and soul forever.
I miss you, I love you, I’m your Daddy– forever.

Cameron was an amazing little girl who died on January 19, 2006. She was truly one of the most precious people to ever walk this earth. As her parents, we will never be able to express the loss we feel now that Cameron is gone.
