Letter to my son
Mijito, I didn’t have the opportunity to say
good bye to you. I couldn’t kiss you or
hug you, I couldn’t see your wonderful
smile or hear your beautiful voice, at
least once more. Your departure was
unexpected. I was so confident that I
would go before you, so I was not
prepared for your so painful departure.
The last day that I saw you alive, I didn’t
even pay much attention to you. You
were so happy and joking with all of us
like you always were, while I was just
thinking that I was going away for the
weekend. How could I ever imagined it
would be the last time that I would see
you? If I had only imagined it was the last
time that I would see your face, your eyes
open, looking at me, I would never had
gone to that trip, I would have stayed
here with you hugging you, kissing you,
talking to you, asking you to sing for me
the songs that I liked to hear you sing,
filling my heart with your so especial love.
I would have given my life instead of
yours.

I miss you my beautiful child, I miss you so
much! I know it’s God’s willing and I want
to be a good servant, but I can’t stop
crying for your absence, I can’t stop
calling you in the night, I can’t stop
missing you because you are a piece of
myself and without you, I am incomplete
and nothing is the same anymore.

I know you are waiting for me because
the love we feel for each other is eternal
and the words that the angel told me in
my dreams, explain it so clearly: “The
Love of a mother nobody can take away
and neither, the love of her son.”

Until The Lord reunite us again, my
beautiful child, my heart will keep
bleeding and forever waiting to see you
once more. Meanwhile, our strong bond
of love that The Lord planted in our
hearts, will remain forever to hold me and
to remember me that you are waiting for
me.

I love you with all my heart!

Poem to My Son

Where are you my son, where
are you my child?
My soul cries your name, my
spirit doesn’t rest
My eyes want to see your
face, my lips to kiss your hair

Where are you my son, where
are you my child?
I am looking for you, I am lost
without you
Let me see you once more, let
me bless him Oh Lord!

Ever since you had left,
My tears remain flowing, my
heart remain bleeding
And the happiness you gave
me, makes me miss you even
more

Where are you my son, where
are you my child?
I can’t hear your voice, I can’t
see your smile
That gave to my life, great
love and rejoice

Where are you my son, where
are you my child?
Come and bring me joy, with
your beautiful voice
And your singular love, to my
very sad world
