Faded Photographs

Faded Photographs

.
For our precious Angel Nico, who floated to Heaven 28 months ago today
.
I still can’t bear to look at them, the photos of you lying there in state;
The ones that I asked your Mommy take, of my fallen dear Soulmate!
We had placed you in your little bed, by which I wept the whole night through;
Knowing the time was quickly waning, that I’d ever again see you!

.
The night gave way to morning, I knew the hour had gotten near;
That I’d have to say goodbye forever, the greatest of my fears!
With my heart and soul both broken, I took you for your last bye-bye;
I kissed you for the final time, feeling like I would also die!

.
Two years later, while on the computer, Mommy accidently pulled them up;
I screamed and started sobbing, I felt my heart and soul erupt!
For I try to still remember you, when you were young and full of life;
But seeing you laying lifeless, sliced me like a sharpened knife!

.
One day I know I will look at them, but that time has not yet come;
The images in my memory banks, still leave my soul so numb!
For now they’ll sit in precious archives, sequestered at my behest;
These gut wrenching “Fading Photographs”, of you in final rest!

 
.
Photographs may fade
But memories live ever
In our hearts and souls

This piece is so sad, but beautiful too my darling. It is so hard knowing that you are so sad and in so much pain and I just want to hold you tight to help you feel better, but no amount of hugs will ease the pain as I know all too well, I miss my Andrew so much too and I know exactly how you are feeling my darling.

Please know that I am sending you big hugs from my heart anyway and all my love and kisses too. I just wish I could be there with you to hold you tight through all this. Write to me privately so we can talk, we`ll get through this together sweetie and I will never leave your side, you can count on that my darling.

Well done for this beautiful yet heartbreaking piece. I`m sure he is by your side as you write, he hasn`t really left you sweetie, he will always look after you till you meet again. I like to think of my Andrew as having emigrated to a better world because that helps me to cope with the pain! He hasn`t died, we just can`t see each other physically untill I get there too!

We will all have a great big party to celebrate when the time comes for us all to emigrate, won`t we my darling!!! Stay strong, I`m holding you tight in my heart and always will. Try to think of the fun we`ll all have when it`s our turn to leave too.

I love you both so very, very much and I always will my darling and I`ll always be here for you both.

I adore you both
Love G xx
