A poem written by Andrew’s mom on December 8th

Dear Andrew,

As your 1st year “Angel Date” draws ever so near

11 months 29 days worth of mornings I wake up still not believing you’re not here

That December night, I live over and over, not remembering the snow or even the cold

For the tears were the snowflakes and the cold that I felt was deep within

You were only 23 years old

When I feel my heart breaking in two

One side for your brother and one side for you

That’s when your spirit and energy show me, you’re everlasting and near

I love you forever Andrew, I will love you always my dear

So that’s why I promise as long as on this earth I belong

That I will do everything within my power to help you live on

Just as the stars are not visible in the light of the day

We still know they exist and we’ll see them again in some way

I miss you everyday

Andrew

Love always and forever,

Mom
