Remembering    

Go ahead and mention my child,
The one that died, you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further.
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry,
I am already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing the tears
that I try to hide.
I am hurt when you just keep silent,
Pretending he did not exist.
I'd rather you mention my child,
knowing that he has been missed.
You ask me how I was doing,
I say "pretty good", or "fine."
But healing is somthing ongoing
I feel it will take a lifetime.

    My Dearest Rudy Tooty    

It's hard to believe you have been gone for 17 years.
I sit here and wonder about the young man
you would have been today........you brought us so much joy in your 6 1/2 months, I wouldn't trade one second of that time. Your Big Sister Rhianna
has grown into a wonderful young woman, she misses you so very much. I Love and Miss you very much Rudy...............always remember this
"Be sweet little one, sleep tight and goodnight, if you can't go to bed ask God to leave on a small light. Mommy will see you soon, you don't have to be scared, if you need me little one, mommy's heart is with you, I'm always right there."
