One more promise fullfilled

   I remember a few years back as death became more of an concept in your mind, as you faced it on so many occasions. One day in our conversation you asked me to promise you something, you wanted something scarey put on your tombstone if you died before me. Of course I agreed thinking "MOM is going first, so I will never have to worry about this promise". Well you were always a little different in your thinking but you reminded me of this promise the day before you died. Of course I told you, mom will keep my promise. Well needless to say I struggled with this after you left this earth, so I waited a while to order the stone. The stone has finally been set and is in place, and I think you would get a kick how mom kept her promise. We looked up the words SOMETHING SCAREY in hierglyphic pictures and put that on the back of your tombstone. I'm sure in years to come it will spark interest from strangers and loved ones alike. It is one of a kind for a one of a kind son. Mom misses you and tells someone everyday about you. You surround my life and thoughts, you still comfort me with your words, I can hear them when I hurt or when I cry. You are so much a part of who mom has become. I am now going to college to get my BSN degree with the hopes of specializing in special needs kids. I get down and overloaded at times but your memory keeps me going even when I want to quit. You taught me how to keep going even when everything sucks. You showed me by example son ......YOU LIVED IT. Thank you for all you thought me.
