You should be playing on the swing
laughing with glee ~
I can't understand the sickness
that I see.
You are only two, a lifetime of love
to feel and give ~
A lifetime to learn and laugh
and live!
Why did God take you, my
sweet little one?
Honey, your life had only just
begun.
You should be playing with
your little matchbox cars~
Looking through a telescope
at the stars.
You should be running with
your friends outside ~
Oh my sweet one, you
should not be denied..
The sun on your face,
the joy in your smile~
Being a little boy for
just a little while.
You should be going to
school...living your life~
Going to the prom ~
Picking a wife.
Making Mom smile when
the baby comes along~
The thought of you dying
seems all wrong.
You are such a little guy to have
lived through the pain~
Jesus is holding you now~
You will never hurt again.
You should be out swinging and
playing with your toys ~
Having fun with the other
girls and boys.
You should be singing a
little nursery rhyme song~
The thought of you dying,
God, its seems all wrong.......
This is very sad but beautifully written. Wishing you the best of the Holiday season.
Love, Janet xoxoxo

Thank you Linda for this wonderful tribute to my son. My little Zack is now an angel watching over all of us. He was truley a special gift to us. My heart aches to know that he was with us for such a short time. Every time I think about it, my heart gets ripped out and my stomach hits the floor. I don't think that this will ever get easier. It just keeps getting harder. If it wasn't for little Jake, I would go crazy. It will never be the same without him. But thanks to these tributes, I know how much Zack touched everyones lives. And I am honored. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
Love Always,

Linda,
I can't get enough of your tributes to my grandson, Zack, who is now a beautiful angel in heaven. These holidays are the worst, especially with his birthday falling on Thanksgiving Day. But we all did good that day. I bought 20 balloons, 10 yellow and 10 different colors(yellow was his favorite color and the only color he could say). Becky wrote happy birthday Buggs in the snow over his grave. We went to an open area of the cemetary and let the balloons go up in the sky. We went back to his grave where Becky, Mike, my sister Ginny and her daughter Audrey, Craig(Becky's dad), my step-daughter Connie and granddaughter Cayla, my sons Nick and Josh, and myself all sang happy birthday to Zack. We tried to make something positive from something so sad. We then had dinner at Connies, and her 2 kids,Cayla and Nathan wanted to put 3 candles in the pumpkin pie for his birthday, but didn't want to upset Becky. They even asked their mom, " If we can't sing Happy Birthday out loud, can we sing it to ourselves?" Becky thought it was a great idea and even brought an 8 x 10 of Zack, so he too would be there.
God Bless each and every one of you here at AD for keeping my little Zack's spirit alive.
Love and ((((HUGS))))

Wonderful tribute ... Keep smiling and happy .... Take care of ur health ...
Oh my....such sadness and so heart wrenching this is. For one so small, to have their short little life end before it even had a chance to begin. You've given the most beautiful of tributes I've seen! ~ Dee
