Derek DiGregorio

Derek DiGregorio

In loving memory of my son Derek DiGregorio who as tragically taken from me nine years ago today, August 16th.

My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news

It never occurred to me, how much I could lose

I find myself wishing that it wasn’t real

Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel

Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see

But my heart tells me that Derek will always be with me.

I lie in bed and cry at night

The way he was taken from me just isn’t right.

Derek,

I will love and miss you forever until the day we are again together.
