Stories of Lost Children
A Life To Celebrate
by Diane Fasano, Jackson, NJ, U.S.A.
My 3rd child was only 10 years old when he was taken from this earth. It is still amazing to me how in just one moment in time, your life can change forever. On June 2, 1999 I lost my 3rd child, my best friend, my soulmate. 2 days after his death, a very close friend wrote a poem about his life, not his death. I would like to share the joy of my life to all that reads this. It's a shame more people were not able to meet my son. It is trully a loss. If anyone would like to email me, I would like to hear from you at diane06021999@yahoo.com. "A Life To Celebrate" Dearest Family & Friends, I'm a little boy, just turned 10 years of age
Slightly petite for my years, but smart as a sage, Never hated anyone or wished them any pain -
Why waste time with all of that: what's to gain? A smile so endearing and a gleam for good measure -
Even sometimes being devilish, there is always such pleasure. I'm about bruised knees-
Torn dungarees. Cute belly laughs -
From Great Adventure photographs. Some favorite things are computer and Disney games -
In trivia, I know all the names. There's my really cool gang of beanies & plushes -
Ever dear to me now like young school yard crushes. I love Barnegat Bay & boat riding thrills -
The clean, warm breezes, I can feel still. Please don't ask why: Oh yes, I can see that you are -
I'll be closer than ever, never away too far. Turns out I've been a gift, like a short term loan -
Little & sweet, like a favorite ice cream cone. When you have problems, don't dwell on the wrinkes -
Instead, think of me like a topping of sprinkles. My name is Danny and I love all of you -
I don't have all the answers, but this much is true: I now know you're right when you say that I'm special -
Now I'm in charge of my family & friends: Love Forever,
Your Guardian Angel
