Today I Touched Your Face Again
Today I touched your face again and watched you for awhile,
I talked of things deep in my heart I wish could make you smile.
I rubbed your head and told you I’m proud you are my son,
For all the little things you did in life and the way you did each one.
You show such courage daily and you teach me how to live,
To make each moment count in life and to give what I can give.
Did I tell you you’re my hero when I saw you yesterday?
Or did it slip my mind again as I put you away?

I know your time on earth was short but it’s how you lived each day,
you made the most of what you had and always found a way
To touch the hearts around you, to love us while you may.
I wish with all my heart right now, the face I touched today,
Wasn’t made of paper or neatly placed away.
But I will put you on the shelf again for all the world to see,
I’ll talk to you tomorrow just like I do each day,
And I’ll tell you you’re my hero as I gently walk away.

Anthony Summer 2006.



Words cannot express the happiness he brought to everyone he knew, and didn't know.  He will be missed and I cannot believe he is really gone.

He will ALWAYS be in my heart and soul, energy and love FOREVER!!!!





Anthony, you are my beloved son who I cannot even start to express, know how, what I am supposed to do now that your gone.  I know have only left this earth, and you are still around, I will see you again.  It's just the past 18 years have been the best and I would not ever change a thing to have never spent a single day without you.
You are an amazing boy, young man, on your way to greatness.  You touched so many lives.  And you continue each day to touch our lives in some way.

You, Anthony are my Guardian Angel, my son and I love you and will keep you alive in my heart and my life until me meet again.

He is with me every day.  My Guardian Angel forever in my heart.

Love Mom...xoxoxox signed with a heart always our notes to each other.  Everyday we left notes, hello, goodnight, see you later, call me later
