A Tragic Loss

You turned twenty one this past December who knew that it you wouldn't see twenty two? Now your son, who is just barely two, will never know his father, other than from stories told to him, by your mother and father from all your aunts and uncles, who still can't believe that you are gone. Stories from his mother, who will find new love, someday, when she isn't feeling betrayed by God, for taking the father of her child. Your child. Your father is angry, that you have just been home two weeks, and now you are gone. Out of their lives forever. They will be burying their oldest son. Having only one son left, and not sure how well he is going to take it when he finds out you are gone. Dealing with the aftermath of the accident right now. Not sure of the outcome, one son hospitalized, the other, gone. Forever. Who would have guessed, when they said goodbye to you last night, that it would be the last goodbye they would ever get? No more chances to say I Love You! No more anything...All that is left now is memories, and a little boy that will never truly know his father. Sure there will be pictures, and stories, of you playing football, cause you were really good. Stories of how you were as a child. But pictures and stories cannot replace the love of a father. I remember you as a little boy. I was there when your mom and dad said their I Do's. And you were there, although small when I said mine. My daughter had the biggest crush on you. She's told her friends you should meet him...Oh how tragically it ends. So soon..Too soon..And we will see you one last time. As you are laid to rest eternally. And we will cry, because you are so young. Were so full of promise, hopes and dreams, that will never be fulfilled. And we will miss you! Although you will be in a far better place than this world, that will not take the pain away from those left behind, having to face life without you there. You will be missed! Forever! :)Dedicated to my nephew Nicholas...Who died upon impact in a car wreck last night. His brother, just recently turned 19, was care flighted to Dallas, and I haven't heard any updates as of yet. We have lost something special, that can never be replaced.
