Vito and Scott, Christmas 2000 |
It's hard to believe that ten years have passed since we lost Vito. Looking back I'm struck by the fact that Scott and I had only been married four years at the time. From an oddly detached perspective I realized that it was a very young marriage to have to deal with such a loss.
I wanted to write a very deep, profound poem to commemorate the date but writers block left me with only this short, basic refrain:
I miss your smile, I miss your eyes
I miss your fun loving ways.
I miss your hair sparkling in the sun,
I miss those simple days.
Love, Mom
