Flake...one great love; one great loss

The day you came into my life was the day I started living
The day I saw your eyes was the day my tears had meaning
The day you sat next to me was the day my heart started racing
The day you came home to me was the day I started loving

Together or apart we had always been a team
At night when I sleep, you tickle me in my dream
There was one time when you begged me for an ice cream
I said “No honey, not until you are sixteen”

You shared my happiness, you defeated my sadness
You offered me joy when my whole being is destroyed
You cradled my laughter and held me when I falter
Yesterday as you left, it wasn’t our happy ever after

One thousand one hundred seventeen days
One thousand one hundred seventeen smiles
One thousand one hundred seventeen butterflies
One thousand one hundred seventeen…is just little number compared to the love you profoundly multiplied

I love you my son, my best friend, my only one….forever and always...
There are two great tragedies in life; one is to gain your heart’s desire and the other is to lose it.
I could not be any more grateful...for you gave me both

♥ Eternally…
