A Better Plan
Tears have fallen and people have called with their regards,
but that will never heal the pain in my heart.
No words can ever really say,
the feeling that I feel everyday.
No day goes past that your not in mind,
a brother like you I'll never find.
God took you from us so very young.
So sad after everything you've done.
A place in my heart you will always be.
No one will ever mean so much to me.
You were my best friend,
always there at my defense.
No matter how far you had to go or what you had to,
you always said, "little sis, I'm here for you."
I wish you were here with me now to tell me how to handle this.
Such a wonderful man,
I just don't understand. . .
I guess God had a better plan!
I was driving to work this morning and heard an Aerosmith song playing on the radio. Do you remember me taking you to your first concert? It was Aerosmith. Remember we went with Steven and Diane? Anyway, just wanted to say how much I enjoyed that concert with you. Love you forever, Mommy
Remember how much you loved cement mixer trucks? If we saw one on the road I would follow the truck so you could watch the mixer. Sometimes we would spend all day just following the cement mixer trucks around. We would always go to Toys R Us and buy another cement mixer to add to you collection. I'm so glad I still have all your trucks. You would spend hours just lining them up on the floor and then you would take your big Tonka cement mixer and crash all your trucks all over the place and laugh so hard. I'll always treasure every moment of your life. We had so much fun with Mammo and Bap-Bap. Bap-Bap would play with you for hours. Your favorite game was playing "Eggy Ball". Do you remember? Your spirit lives within me and our memories together bring me so much joy. I'll love forever and ever. Mommy

I remember the first time we met. You knocked on my door and invited me to a party. I declined due to work the next day. You left me your number just in case. I called you immediately after you left and asked if you would mind helping me w/ my tv/dvd set-up. Afterwards you asked me out to dinner. I thought to myself you dont even know this guy, but since he was so nice to help me out maybe I should give dinner a try. So we went and had the time of our lives. We became best friends immediately and I think I fell in love with you that first date. I guess when you know someones your soul mate, you just know right. My coffee and dinner skills suck without you here. I call out to you everyday, but you dont answer me. I know that your with me though because I know you wouldnt want me to be alone. Remember how we were supposed to go to san fran together. Im leaving this week to do that memory for us. PLease protect me on my plane ride. You know how it scares me to fly. I love you monkey moo....God bless..Please wait for me in heaven oneday..If your a bird, im a bird!!!!!!

Good Morning Christopher: Remember when you came home every summer just so we could go to Skyline Drive and hike Mary's Rock? After your death, John took me up to Skyline Drive and I could feel your presence everywhere. I love you and miss you, Mommy
