And, whenever a little boy looks at me with an angelic face and smiles, I wonder if that smile is created by your loving spirit from heaven above. You are forever in my heart and always with my thoughts. Until we meet again, I will never stop aching to hold you snugly in my arms. All My Love, Mom. I also have my story about my loss posted on the Kota Press web site in the Articles of Loss section if anyone is interested in reading it.

I think writing poetry, whether positive or negative in nature, frees a part of our souls. When you abuse a child, you change their world forever.
