Hey My love, Its been a while since I Last wrote you.. I have been sick lately, today I feel a little better..
I got your messages the other day, especially with what was said about the photographs! I always believed that you would never leave our side.. I know this because of the man you are, the son you are, the friend you are to me and most importantly the love that you had for us, the love you had for me. I miss that so much...
I can’t begin to express the hollowness that lurks inside of me.. the loss of your love is something that cant be described, nor can the pain. I can’t describe any of it, and at times when I try all that surfaces is anger and frustration. Frustration, is that even a good word to describe the depths of it... definitely not..
I don’t know how to quantify, calculate, describe, express, draw, outline this pain, this hollowness, this life anymore... I know my love, that this life is just a temporary shelter for me. It is an impossible task to complete without you in it. IT IS!! It is impossible for me to go through a moment of my day without feeling the pain, without feeling like I want to sream, without feeling the massive turmoil inside, the anger, without feeling the constant emptiness and hollowness within me..
There isn’t a moment that I don’t wish to hear your voice, say, " Mom, I love you" or even just call Me Mama Dukes, or Mother or Woman... Oh, how I hated when you called me " woman" now, I would give anything just to hear YOUR VOICE say it again and again and again...
There isn’t a second that I don’t search to see your eyes, My God, those eyes always filled me with so much joy inside… The happiness my soul felt just looking at you is unexplainable… The only way I can describe it is “ YOUR EYES, (YOU) WERE A DRUG THAT KEPT ME FROM DYING… You kept me Whole.. YOUR SMILE KEPT ME ALIVE,,, THROUGH YOU I LIVED… Now, my love I struggle…………
I miss your hugs, you really knew how to hug and make everything better... Your kisses, your smoochums...or your head pressing against my (you know what) wanting to just go back inside and stay there forever... I wish I could place you there forever... I wish I would have known that I would wake up one day and never see your beautiful eyes again...hear your voice, see your smile, feel your hugs or just have you hear to talk to… I lost my best friend.. my soul. I wish I would have known early on, This way my love, I would have planned out my life to be free from other responsibility so I could have left this world with you... What IS this world without you in it? For me my love.. IT is a world Empty and Sorrowful.. Very, Very Sad..
I miss looking at you and Mikey and saying " My Boyz" I love my Boyz, you both are the lite of my life...I love you both the same way.. The difference My Love as you know, AS I Always Described, you made me who I am, It was you whom I shared many, many days and nights holding, crying, laughing, It was you that I shared my dreams with, My future plans with.. My life revolved around you my love ( for 10 years)… When I first decided to go back to school, I consulted you… you were only 5 years old. Do you remember what you said to me… you said, Mommy, does going to college mean that we are going to be famous.. Then you said, you would be happy if I was happy going… So, I went back to school.. Everytime, I needed to study, you were so good to me.. You helped me… What is it all for now my love…
I just wish I would have known... My Love... I wouldn’t be here right now... It wouldn’t matter to me my love, how I laid down with you so long as I did...
I remember how badly you wanted a brother or sister.. You asked me to have a brother or sister for you… You said you didn’t want to be lonely when you got older.. Now, Mikey is saying the same thing my love… He is so hurt… He said to me.. Why did Jesus take you, didn’t Jesus know that You and Him made promises to each other to hang out when he got older… I try my love to explain that Jesus did not do this to hurt him.. That other people did this…
My love, I always told you that I could not live life without you… We spoke about everything with eachother.. Not too long before you went to heaven, I was nervous about driving to school so far away… Do you remember how we spoke in the car,, when I told you if in the event I didn’t get home by a certain time… or if I died in a car accident.. you lost it.. and your face started to shake.. you said Mom, Don’t even joke like that.. I can’t live without you… we are like one.. How could you die, then you said, Don’t ever die Mom… not until your 99 years old.. How am I supposed to live… Its like saying I could live without my lungs or my heart… If you die mom before your 99 years old… I will die with you… We promised each other Jan 19, 2009… that we would always stay strong for eachother.. If either one of us died the other would die too…. That is what happened my love… I am DEAD… Just haven’t laid down yet… I would love nothing more than to lay down this life and be with you… My will, my soul is gone with you… But my Love, as much as I want to, I can't for now because our other half needs us... Mikey, needs the same chance my love... At least until he is able. He is so good… He is so fragile and lost without you… His eyes also wrench me inside.. What is it with yours and his eyes… I think that he is going to make a great 2nd big brother... He always says that he will never forget his BIG brother..I know he won’t… In fact, he asks me to tell him about you when you were his age.. and younger.. he loves the stories... just like you, he loves the way I joke, just like you... He loves you very much.. and you can see that he is lost at times without you here... and at other times he is compensated by your friends... They visit often... they haven’t forgotten your love for them and it shows ...HE went on the party Bus with all of your friends the other day… He was so happy.. Now he says, I cant wait to go on another party bus.. Yeah.. Sure.. When he is 16 … haha
MY Love, Daddy is so lost without you too… He doesn’t go out anymore, his buddy is gone.. He still kisses you every night before he goes to bed.. I guess you know, this habit will never die.. I was watching him the other day as I always did you without your knowledge, His eyes, told me he is in a lot of pain my love… I watch him sometimes when he falls asleep on the couch and you could still see his pain seep through what used to be the peace of sleep.. There will never be peace my love. We will forever be in pain for you…
I wish I could have known that that place was bad, those people were bad, I would have never let you go… As for her, I wish that I did look into her eyes. I would have seen her evil… her maliciousness…She has lied about you. She has made many frivolous, Untrue statements about you as though she knew you.. She has portrayed you to be something that you are not.. She has spoken about you and me as though she knew us. Has she forgotten that you were only talking to her for about 6 weeks... Why would someone who only knew you for a minute claim so much...
I knew that there was something wrong with her when she told you she loved you a week after you started talking to her... when she tried to change the way you dressed 2 weeks after you started talking to her..when she demanded that you stop smoking 3 weeks after you started dating her.. When she started planning marriage with you only 3-4 weeks after you started talking with her, or planning to live together or planning children together soon after you started talking with her... I told you there was something wrong....
Why would she get so upset when you did not wear her tight fitted clothes...She thought she knew you... she thought that you would convert your character, your personality, your way for her... Why?
Why would she think that she could control you that way? why would she believe that she had it like that...Did she not know the Girl friends you have had? or the love you carried for Jenn? Why would she believe that you would be so different for her, when you never changed for the one you were In Love with? ..
Did these possessory thoughts seal your fate, when she chose not to call 911, when she heard you in physical respitatory distress (as she stated " I stood on the phone until his breathing got shallow). Could it be that she needed to possess your entire life by allowing you to die even after you told her that you were scared to close your eyes because you thought you were dying..and that you felt like your heart was slowing down...Why My Love, did she listen to your distress and not call for help?
she made enough statements claiming you as hers eternally and that no one could ever have you again...I often think about all of her statements and her actions and I try to understand it from an objective perspective... But it is difficult, as you know my love, Mikey says it all the time... Why didn't she call 911?, and he is only an infant...
Please, Please, My lord Jesus and My Mother, please be here by my side everyday.. Please give me grace when I lack it… Please hold my hand and guide me the opposite direction or path from these people.. Please give me the strength to remember the love my son had for everyone.. Please give me the strength to see everyone as your children and most importantly PLEASE BECOME MY EYES When Mine fail me to see YOU, MOTHER and NICNIC… and the purity that you demonstrate… PLEASE Guide me to those in need of love and compassion, Give me the strength to share my love with them and take away my anger, My thoughts and most importantly MY capacity to do…. Please walk with me and not behind me… I need you to always walk along my side and guide me to finish this life with JUSTICE and Love for those who need it and not…………..
I LOVE YOU NICNIC, I LOVE YOU MY LORD and ALWAYS, I LOVE YOU MOTHER MARY… I will forever burn in pain… Until I am in your arms again…
Give me the Grace…
