Sometimes something is meant to be?
Yes but as for me?
Well let's go way back to 2003.
Now there you go!
Yes, almost Twenty years ago!
...
Now they say that April Fool's Day?
A day to finally be the Wisecracker that you always wanted to be?
To Be or Not to Be?
And, as for this day in 2003?
Oh yes the jokes on?
...
Now reader and reviewer, it all started innocently.
Yes, just a party.
A party for Nikki!
Nicole Megan Harbach my step daughter indeed.
Yes, and she accomplished her need at being age Twenty-Six and not Twenty-Three.
But still viewers what about the jokes?
And, the tricks?
...
Trick or Treat?
Well, now let's not get side tracked that still months away!
Yes, in the month of October and not March nor May but if I may still march on?
Yes, to the beat of a different drummers song?
...
Ahh, now this is where we finally belong?
Brian Cole was a distressed child of only Seventeen.
(Yes, if you know what I mean?)
Was he mean?
Yes but even for a child.
A mentally ill child can drive a Ford Mustang convertible.
And, make it become a deadly lesson!
"Fast and Furious!"
...
Now if you're still with me here and if you still care?
I'll continue to share.
Yes, no matter how hard it is for me.
I'll continue the story and continue to share.
But there's always a price to be paid!
And, you see?
Yes the accident cost me as well as my family!
...
Yes but as for this past April Fool's Day 2022?
Well let's say for three out of four lucky individuals?
Yes, who benefited that day!
Yes, as I prayed!
Yes, with another chance!
Jay's Heart and Lungs, Kidney to Kidneys...
And, as for the Liver recipient?
Yes, had but eight years.
Yes, eight long years to continue his life!
And, that's still kinda nice and right!
...
Yes!
Three out of four would continue to work, walk, play, observe another day.
And, as for but one?
Yes, possibly reproduce because of that sad, sad, sad, day.
At the end of March into beginning of April and not May.
Well if I but now can say?
...
April, May, and into June?
Yes, the rains!
They say?
Yes will bring?
They say April flowers!
Yes but so many, many, Angels tears!
Yes to make up for the Eighteen long years!
Years of tears but don't get me wrong!
Because even though this may sound like a sad, sad, song?
These are the tears of not Sadness but the tears of Happiness and Gladness!
Because for one and only my one Son?
Jason Richard Smrkovsky.
My Jay he finally after Eighteen years got to go home.
Go back home where he belonged that day!
...
"The Memory Box"
The memory box provides a place to keep special items that you connect with your Loved one. To hold, touch, and remember treasured moments and memories is a healthy part of adjusting to a loss.
The Box offers a place to go to, to think, about the individual, the good times and the moments shared.
What is put inside is up to you... there are no right or wrong things to include, only those things that are special to you and your Loved one.
To tie the ribbons is to offer a type of closure, to untie them and to open the Memory Box, is to open up oneself to remembering this Special Someone.

"By remembering, we keep what is precious and most special, as treasures in our hearts forever"
