I saw
you mom, sitting by my side holding my hand.
Praying to God that he doesn’t take me away from you yet. You gave away two full years of life with me,
could this really be the death of your only son?
I saw
you dad, waiting patiently to see if I’d awaken. Shirt soaked in tears begging God not to
steal his only child. Life is too short to lose and live without your son. You have finally felt the love in return
after not having me for many years.
I see you mom and dad. I watch from
above while both of you sit by my bedside praying silently that this is not the
end. Holding my hands, praying that the
mistake from twenty years ago doesn’t escape this world without understanding
that you both love me.
Twenty
years of life and today I almost died. They
said there was no way I’d make it out alive but the power of prayer proved
otherwise. I opened my eyes and saw my parents by my side. I actually thought I died, gone to heaven and
life on Earth no longer existed.
It
was just a miracle that brought my parents to my side together for the first
time. They thought I’d die; they weren’t
even there together to welcome me in to life yet today they are by my side.
With
all that said, I love you mom and dad.
No one is perfect and I can’t blame you for your faults. We only live in this world once and we only
learn as we live and make mistakes. I am
thankful for everything and for the both of you.
Thankful for your imperfections and thankful that you have let me make
my own mistakes. Thank you mom and
dad.
