Just before Christmas, Jack was killed by a car mid-afternoon. Stupid driver… he took a big piece of our heart. Sometimes the smallest things have the biggest impact on our lives and jack was one of them. This poem was written by my husband…

“I want him back” was all she could say.

Not in memory - but here and now - TODAY!

All love will eventually become lost.

We need to give no matter the cost.

Fighting on for just a chance to believe,

To have someone wonderful who won’t leave.

Each of us follows a set path.

We are lucky to be loved and share a happy laugh.

It’s so easy to toss around guilt and blame.

But who wants to live life tame?

We teach and show what we can.

Each chapter is part of a grand plan.

I hate that all life is on loan.

And it can change with the ring of the phone.

It hurts to our very core,

God took our angel… but there will be more.

From Earth to Sky
