Danielle Tavares 1975 (San Bernardino)



Days:
There are days I wake up with the weight of my broken heart so heavy I can barley breath.
Days that I wake up so angry at the tragedy of your death that I want to scream.
Days that the tears ebb and flow so freely as if it were just yesterday that you were taken from me.
Days that the memories we shared flicker just out of sight and mix with the memories we don’t get to make anymore.
But then there are
Days that I wake up and feel the slightest warmth on my face and smile.
Days that I can hear a song and instead of cry I laugh.
Days that I am reminded of just how wonderful you were.
Days that show me grace and comfort.
Days of gratitude for being your mom no matter how long or short that may have been.
Days with pride that you saved others lives with your  own.
Days that I know with so much certainty that you are right beside me in everything I do.
So no matter what Day I am waking up to.
Know that I take you with me.
I take you down the road of sorrow as well as the road of joy.
I hold you in my heart with every beat.
I share in you my laughter, my tears, my pain, my pride and above all my love.

I love you more my sweet boy
