My Nathan, my son, my fallen angel, my child
His life on earth was too short, however, sometimes too wild

Tonight, he died in a car accident, instantly...
His bright light on earth terminated, cruelly taken from me

So loved, so cared for, so treasured, so young
I wonder if the damaged part of my heart could ever be restrung

This pain and emptiness is aching my whole being
I pray that when I close my eyes at night, its his beautiful face, I am seeing

My tears flow quietly, out of the corners of my eyes
Watching all who loved Nathan, saddened, shocked at his demise

His talent, his kindness, he thoughtful and caring ways
I will try to hold in my memory bank, when the sadness fills my days

Honoured and blessed to have been chosen to be his mother
On loan to us for a short twenty years, leaving behind a younger brother

No words can really make this ugly nightmare disappear
In time, the bigger picture of this test I've been given will become clear

You never truly, deeply, honestly imagine that it will ever happen to you
Keep your loved ones close, kiss & hug them, tell them you love them true...

Dear Andie I read this a few days ago, as you now know, I couldn't put words to the piece as it was so moving and I didn't feel anything could warrant how you must be feeling. I just want you to know that this poem touched me deeply, your words sing out to me as a mother and I cannot express or even begin to understand how you must be feeling. Know this - Nathan will be watching down on you, he is with those that love him, he will feel your pain but will want you to know he is still with you and that his love will keep you warm in your darker days. Stay strong, With love and condolences... Helen xxxx

Dear Andie, my thoughts are with you. Your poem tells the world how much you loved your earthly son, and how much you will always love him. Nathan achieved so much in his short life and you were always there for him, proud to be his mother. Remember love like this will never die. Just call and he will hear you.... Your friend xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Andie, It's heartbreakingly moving, and yet, no words, no matter how well penned - as these are - can take us anywhere near what you've got to be feeling. Time is useless at healing unfortunately. And there are things that you won't want healed anway. Memories are a puny substitute, but I'm sure they'll give you bittersweet comfort from time to time. Keep writing when you can. I am truly sorry for your loss Andie. xx jim
