the story of my life

You are the story of my life! It begins and ends with You... The names are still the same, The story is still the truth You are, the story of my life. it begins and ends with You, Each chapter sings your name, Each page begins with you! It's the story of our times, and never letting go... And if I died today, I just wanted you to know... From the moment I dreamt of having you, I wanted you...I Loved You...I was told to choose between myself and you, as your heart rate went down, quite a few times. I told the doctors to save you...they told me to count backwards from 10 to 1...I chose to say the Our Father, that somehow, if I was worthy enough, that you and I could both make it through...there was a light that shone over you! Your heart is so incrediblely loving! "On the day you were born, every Angel danced and sang...The Lord, himself rejoiced, as every church bell rang!" My son, my heart, my life...I adore you, I treasure every moment we shared...no matter what, I love You, and I know you loved me, too...this I was assured of...Thank you, for thinking of me, one of your most precious last words spoken, at the scene of the accident! Take care of your grandpa and your brother for me, I know all of you will be working on those cars, trains and jet engines together, up there... REST, and be at peace, my Angel, my son!
