Gabriel... today is your 17th Birthday. "Happy Birthday" my Son. Love, Dad

There isn't a minute of the day that passes where I don't think of you and all your accomplishments. The man you had become. Your strength, your wisdom, your faith! Most can only dream to become who you were.... I love you Gabriel, I was proud to be called your mother. Christ gave me a awesome gift in you and I will always treasure every moment I had with you, just as I did when you were here on earth! Remember when you were younger we used to discuss how we saw Christ in that day? Today as I looked out my window I saw the sun shining down and knew it was you watching over us. It gave me a warm feeling inside, just as it did every time I saw your gorgeous smile. You was so mature at such a young age and God took your hard times and turned it in wisdom. I seen a glimpse of you when you left and I got your message. " Mom, Heaven is more beautiful then we ever imagined ! " I know your happy doing what you were originally created for. I can't wait for the day where we will all rise and meet our Savior in the sky! Love you much Son! Mom

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
