Friday, the 14th of November

Eight months to the day

you were just doing your job

When you were taken so tragically

 

Getting home to see your daughter

Most likely was in your thoughts

Instead of returning home

It was you that we lost

 

It's still so hard to understand

Still so painful to believe

that you are no longer with us

Emptiness is all we see

 

It hurts so much to know

how upset that you would be

knowing how your death

has torn apart our family

 

Hopefully with time

The pain won't be so real

and the cracks within our family

will begin to heal

 

My dearest nephew

I hope you will always know

You will never be forgotten

and I will never let you go.

Thinking and Loving you always
