My son Jake had a big heart he loved everyone he was actually born with a big heart and the doctor's told me that his little body would grow into it and it and he did. When Jake said he loved you he really loved you and he meant what he said. Jake loved his family there were times when we didn't get along with each other but deep down inside we never stopped loving each other not a day went by that I didn't call and check on him expect that last week before he passed away I always regret that I love you Jake Martin

It's been 3 years

April 30
by Michael Reid
It's been 3 years and yet. I think about you all the time, but I can't call you. I can't text you. I can't email you. I can't come see you. period I just celebrated 5 years my man. Without  any kind of drugs. And my son is 3 and a 1/2. I've been working the same job driving the truck for 3 and a 1/2 years.
 Every time I think about you, I get mad and it gives me another reason. Not to touch drugs again.because we're not guaranteed tomorrow or to the next minute.The drugs don't care about you, but you know who does our family.They wanna see doing  good regardless of whatever we think just wanted to say.I miss you brother
