I decided to go through a drawer that had important papers plus
Aaron and Sky's schoolwork/school pics from the time they were
in Kindergarten. There were report cards with the teacher's
notes and in all of them were about how sweet, sensitive and
and kind they were. Awards and student of the month.
Baseball and basketball pictures with their teammates.
Homemade Mother's Day cards. Cute little homemade trinkets
they made for me at school. I found this one picture of me and
Aaron when he was 10 years old we had made at the fairgrounds.
I had forgot all about it. It was black and white on plain paper but the picture made me cry. It was just so Mother and son.
I lost both of them in a matter of two months in 2006. Although
Sky is still alive he committed a crime that will send him away
for the next 20 something years. And Aaron was killed two months later in the car accident.
I don't cry much anymore but I did today. I wish it could have been different. I wish they would have "got it" before it was
too late. I wish they would have made it to see their kids
grow up and be here for them.....and for me.
