Enjoy the Moments

Today a month ago you were taken from us. Some say, "God only takes the best." I say, "why give you to me in the first place; if only to rip you from my arms." I cannot explain the pain I feel today. My heart is torn-a-part, my soul is aching. Every part of who I am longs to see your smile, to hear you call to me... to see you enjoy the moments that life offered you.

And so even thou I cannot understand why you were given only to be taken... I will learn a lesson from your short life... I will enjoy the brief moments of joy... of laughter... few as they might be. I pledge to you my boy, "Daddy will find a moment every day just to smile."
