IN MEMORY OF JIMMY When you were a baby life was a time of lullabies and pat-a-cake and so many "firsts" to celebrate. I couldn't get enough of your tiny smiles or hearing people tell me what a wonderful baby I had. I would hold you in my arms and whisper how special I hoped your life would be. I loved you so much, my son. I wonder if you knew. The days hurried by and before I knew it, you were a bouncy, bright eyed toddler, tugging at my hand, calling me to join in your games. You were always ready for a story, a song or a snack, and our life was one little adventure after another. I loved you so much, my son. I wonder if you knew. Then right before my eyes, you changed into a young boy, with endless energy and curiosity and a smile that could make my day. You filled my life with dirty sneakers, silly jokes and more joy than I can put into words. I loved you so much, my son. I wonder if you knew. Overnight or so it seemed, you changed into a teenager with a style and mind of you own. At times I missed the little boy you once were, the one who thought I knew everything and who depended on me so much. But it was exciting to catch a glimpse of the caring young man you were becoming. I loved you so much, my son. I wonder if you knew. And then you were gone............ I love you so much, my son. I wonder if you know. Mom
