Daniel (Part 1)

By musicalsuicide

I'm guessing this is it for us.
You're really gone.
I really don't know why it took me so long to see it.
I pulled up into your drive-way
The police lights were so blinding.
I got out of my car,
Looked at that black body bag
And fell to the ground.
At the funeral I cried.
Your mom picked me up off of the floor.
I didn't watch them put you into the ground.
You know I couldn't do it.
It didn't really hit me that you were gone
Until I found out Chris was born.
Joy never told you
She was pregnant with your son
He has those intense blue eyes
And charming smile
Just like you.
It kills me every time I see him,
So I hug him harder
And rock him to sleep
Because he is all this world has to really remember you
And I am not ready to let you go...........

Two years ago I found my god brother's murdered body in his bed room. My best friend Andrew had killed him very painfully. Joy ( daniels gf) was pregnant with chris who is now about a year old and looks just like his daddy. I miss you daniel.

    To lose someone so tragically is a painful experience that I hope no one has to endure. My heart goes out to you. I know what it's like to lose people close to your heart. All you have left are the memories but you have something better. A small child of the same flesh and blood filled with the life of your lost god brother. Blessed be.
