From Timmy's Auntie Kerry on his anniversary

Do You Remember Me?

I can't believe after all this time, I can't get over you,
I guess a love like ours is one of a kind, a love that is true.
It's been nine years since you left me to go to God & heaven's immensity,
Do you still remember me?

It's like a bad dream that plays over and over in my head,
Of things I wish I'd done or words I would have said.
There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you,
Even after all this time, what am I going to do?

Maybe this is the way mommies are supposed to feel,
Perhaps our wounds are never intended to heal.
If I could ask but one question why,
How is it God could need you more than I?

Hi all!

As I told Kerry, when she sent this, it is best to not ask the 'why' question because it allows Satan to wedge his way in and make trouble where there was none. The Lord had this entire situation in His hand, in His control, and nothing we could have done would change His plan. As Pete Prange told us, a bit jokingly, Timmy will not have to endure confirmation class with him (Pete). Timmy is 'confirmed'---have no doubt of this!

What a beautiful poem! Yes I did need a tissue. Glad that we got to chat. I will have some Mint Choc Chip for you all. You and Justin will be thought of much today. Love you and will talk to you later.

Hi Jill!

While Kerry was not the author, the poem really says what was in her heart, and that is why she sent it a couple days ago.

Thanks for the good thoughts and prayers, and enjoy that ice cream you eat for me!

Hugs and tissues,

Kim
