I just read this piece you sent because I didn't hear it all and I am crying, crying tears of sorrow and joy. Everyday I find myself shedding tears because I miss him so much. Even though we were in the same state and city when he got older we didn't spend as much time together as I would like. I often hit him up on facebook and told him to call me so I can know how he and his sister was doing. I know God don't make no mistakes but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. I have been listening to Aretha Franklin's "Call Me" and the lyrics start of saying I love you, and I love you too, baby will you call me the moment you get there.The last time I hit him up on FB I told him to "call me" so I can know if he was ok. My heart hurt so much I can't stand it. This morning Maurice turned 17 and it made me cry because I am happy God has kept him here and I am crying because my other baby will never see 17. I cannot compare my pain to yours because I am only the grandmother but he is just as much a part of me as he is of you, seed of my seed, breath of my breath, life from my life. I guess I had better go now but, I need you to know that I love you and I'll be glad when you come home.

Loving you Always
