There is nothing so wonderful as a child, and nothing can break your heart so completely as when that child is gone.
Your poem is beautiful, the photo is glorious, and that smile..... wow.
Very well done.

    My favorite thing about him is remembering that smile. It was always there. Thanks so much. CArol

Oh, these pieces break my heart more than any of the other sad pieces all put together. How precious Michael was and what a beautiful tribute to your darling boy.

He's adorable. I don't know the story behind this but I can tell that he was special. Is he the little bot you wrote about in your writing that I read last night (I think he was called Johnny)? This is a lovely poem.

    No, Johnny is my handicapped son...Micheal died at 4 while we were on vacation. Black clouds tend to follow me around. Thank you much. Carol

    My Goodness, you have been through so much. I know it was a sad time in your life but I gather from your writing that it somehow made you stronger or added to the strength you obviously already possessed.

what a great looking boy. Thank you for sharing. I feel the same way about each of my two daugters--nothing more important in the world.

This is lovely. Deeply moving, and reached into my chest and tugged at my heart. What lovely tribute to your son who gave you 4 wonderful years. Excellent entry for this contest and I sincerely wish you all the best. I know I say that all the time, but I really do mean it.

Dear Carol, I think that the hardest thing to bear in life must be the loss of a child. Your darling son has given you wonderful memories which I know you cherish. Thank you for sharing his picture and for writing this sweet little poem.

What a beautiful poem. The love between a mother and a son can never be replaced or forgotten. this is a beautiful poem. It brought tears to my eyes. It made me miss my son. He is just in Texas and I am in Oklahoma. Blessings to you. Shirley

    Thank you so much. Every time I look at his smiling picture I can remember just how special his love was. I was blessed even if it was only for four years. Thanks CArol

Thank you for baring yourself so simply and eloquently. I think the author notes are just as beautiful as the poem itself. God bless you and Michael always.
