I Want You Here

My precious son, I want you here, with you by my side I felt as if I had nothing to fear. 
Being with you was all that brought joy to my life, now all I can seem to do is cry over you 
every single night. I want you here so I have someone to share good times with, but since 
you are not, please remember that you will forever be missed. You were always my number 
one, I never thought the day that you would be gone would ever come. Every night still I 
shed so many tears, I may sound selfish, but I would rather have you here.*
