Unbelievable
March 15, 2021
I can't believe it's been 7 years since that sad day we were told that you had passed away. Our hearts were destroyed. We miss you so very much. We think about you so very often and talk about what could have been. Your son looks so much like you now. He even sounds like you and has a lot of your mannerisms. He misses you alot as well. Our hearts are still hurting since your passing. There is nothing more painful in life than losing a child. No matter what age they are, you always see them as your babies. Children are supposed to bury their parents, not the other way around. We are still keeping our promise and are helping Gringo with what he needs. Dad has a car for him and gringo and dad will be restoring it this summer. Dad will teach him how to drive. I have learned that life is hard, rewarding, and sometimes very unfair. I guess god, has a reason for everything that happens in life. This blindsided us so very much. Just remember, one day we all will be together again. It will be a glorious day. I know you are at rest and are being taken care of. Our bodies will die, but our souls live on. I love you Derrick and I can't wait for the day that I can hug you again. Be happy and soar free. Until we meet again. PS, please watch out for Gringo and please visit his dreams from time to time. He misses you and wishes he had you in his life. You are always loved, remembered and forever our son. Love mom and dad
