Waves of Love

I look at him and I cannot believe the resemblance. He's wearing your hat here! I'm shocked that it's still around after 31 years and oh, so grateful. Mark, it seems honestly like just yesterday that I dressed you in this outfit. You were 3 months old, just like Baby Mark is now. There's no denying he's your son, he looks exactly like you. I wish we were closer to him. Rose is great about sending pictures and videos. We are very grateful for that.

I think about what you are missing with him and more about what he will miss without you. I'm at peace that while you are not here, he will certainly know about you and your love for him. He only had a very, very short time with you. But, talk with anyone and they will attest to how crazy you were for him. I'm so sorry that you didn't have a chance to watch him grow, to see even his cute giggles and smiles. We all promised you that we would make sure he was provided for and cared for. We have kept our word. Now we pray that the Lord's perfect will be done for his future with his mother and other siblings. It's in God's hands just like you are. For now, we have great hope for him and for you. I continually pray for your soul as I always have and have done so for Baby Mark since I learned he was conceived.

I love and miss your life Mark. Many days I still cannot believe you are gone. Lord, have mercy on my son and on our family.
