Today is the day (my beloved only son) and our wonderful brother that we are to celebrate your birthday, of fifty one with much difficulty we are trying to do just that.

Just a few short months ago, you were gone, (without a proper goodbye), taken from us in a blink and from you, we didn’t even receive your signature wink.

As the days go by, it’s not easy without you, but we try not to cry and to make reason with, as to why?

We will never understand nor will we ever know,

and losing you has been such a truly devastating blow.

Our lives have changed and that shall remain forever as we were to have you here with us, forever and ever. We miss you more than you will every know and we love you more than our words can ever show

We know that the sun will rise and there will be tomorrow, but these days are truthfully filled with so much sorrow. You had us at “hello” the day you were born and oh the excitement about you and rightfully so we watched you grow into the most loving, generous, thoughtful and tender man, that we will ever know.

Time will never heal our broken hearts, but on your birthday, we will light fifty one candles to honor you, as there will never be another charismatic you!

Always remember us as so missing and loving you!
