Why did you have to leave me?
My precious son, this is not the way it was supposed to be.
Why did you have to leave me?
I'm sorry I wasn't there to be by your side on that fatal day, when God called you and took you away.
I would give anything to turn back the hands of time. So I could see you hug you, tell you I love you one last time.
My heart breaks when I think of all the things you didn't get to do. Like get married, have children and be here to watch over your sister boo.
It feels like someone has ripped my heart out and tore it into two.
I have never felt this much pain until I lost you.
Now I cry so much almost every day. I just want you back to make all the pain go away.
I promise you son I will never forget anything about you.
Mommie will think of you every single day, and I will forever love you until my dying day.
