R.I.P.

Can't believe this has happened to you
Such a sweet perfect kid,
Polite, funny and a loving child
That's now gone, all because of a car accident.
You were only 11 years old.
You had your whole life ahead of you.
But all this changed in an instance
When your dad lost control of the car.
Your dad's still in the hospital
He's in a critical condition
Fighting between life and death.
When he arrived at the hospital
The doctor in charge was your uncle
He couldn't believe it
The doctors say your father won't make it
He might be coming up there to join you soon
I can't imagine how your family is taking it
I know I'm torn apart
And I didn't know you half as well as your family did
My mom worked with your dad
I knew your family quite well
Maybe not you personally
But your death really effected me
It feels like I knew you so well
I feel like a little kid that doesn't understand
I don't understand why you had to die
Why couldn't I die instead?
It's always the good people in life
That are taken away from us
I don't understand, why couldn't you have stayed
People that didn't even know you are torn apart
When they hear what happened
I cried when I found out
I wish I could take all the pain your family is feeling away
I hope you're not scared up there all alone
Please watch over all of us
We're so proud of the person you turned out to be
We miss you so much already
And it hasn't even been 2 days.
I don't feel like I should be able to live
When you can't.
I'm sorry for everything that has happened
You really don't deserve this.
You were and still are the best son/brother/friend anyone could ever ask for.
But most of all we'll pray for you and hope that you're happy.
We hope you know that we'll never forget you and that we love you.
We just want you to be safe and okay
And with that I guess we'll try to make it through without you in our lives
But instead, beside us and in our hearts forever.
We'll never forget the memories,
Or you...

Dedicated to A.M. who passed away on December 17th 2005. R.I.P. Alex, we'll never forget you. love always...
