Ten years

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
