Letter To My Son

Letter to My Son

My son, my son,
you broke my heart
and shattered my soul
when you silently slipped away.

While I never had the chance to say goodbye,
I knew it was not your wish to leave like that. 
But it was a cold, cruel hand
that delivered an awful lethal blow.

But God in his great wisdom and mercy
has comforted me in my sorrow,
and I still miss your words that echo in my heart,
“Mom, please don’t worry, I love you so.”

Even though it’s time to say a final good-bye,
I’ll never forget the pain of losing you, my child.
You're irreplaceable, and one day we'll meet again.
¡Adiós, mi hijo! Rest in the heart of God.
