My Friend, My Hero, My Son

(Always In My Thoughts)
(Forever In My Heart)
(Never Forgotten)

Family Doesn't Have To Be Blood,
Family Comes From Within.
At First We Put Up Our Guard,
But, We Finally Let Each other In.
Sure We Had Our Problems,
But, We Always Got Through Them.
You May Not Be My Blood,
But, I Always Thought Of You As My Son.
It Was Hard For You To Talk To People,
I Was Proud You Started To Confide In Me Though.
You Could Never Be Forgotten,
You Are A Special One.
You'll Always Be My Friend, My Hero, My Son.

All My Love,
Mom
