Sadness .....

Today I am using my blog for a very personal tribute ....

Our nephew passed away this week - a young man with such a kind heart


Christopher David (Sos) 31.03.1991 - 01.08.2012

geography dictates that we aren't able to be with the family at this time
but of course our hearts and thoughts and prayers are constantly with them all

Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same
We have to hide our heartache
When someone speaks your name
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent are the tears that fall
Living without you is the hardest part of all
You did so many things for us
Your heart was so kind and true
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you
The special years will not return
When we are all together
But with the love in our hearts
You walk with us forever
