Put a knife into fear’s heart and scream a scream of victory at the top of your longs. That’s what I
know you WILL do. Mom and my love for you will live on forever. We all need love in this life but I
want you to remember that your ability to love will be limited by how much love you have for yourself.
My life changed the day I literally told myself I loved WHO I was, out on that beach in So Cal. When
relationships end, the love will not.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
Braxton, it feels like only yesterday that this picture was taken. I would love to live that moment over
and over again. To look into those baby eyes of yours, the innocence, the pure joy. Always keep that
with you, it’s a rare gift in an adult. Wherever you go in life, there you are. You can explore, you can
go out and find yourself, but the hidden treasure is in your heart. The things of the material world will
fall away, one by one. Moments like you laying on me are special, cherish them. Every minute is a
blessing but once every so often you will KNOW when you are in one of those life long memories, a
snap shot that is branded on your heart. We are proud of you no matter what.
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
Braxton, I’ve won some in life and lost some. I loved winning but I hated losing. That is the spirit of a
competitor. Before you know it, you will be writing a letter to your son, only he too, will carry on the
legacy. He will BE better than YOU and that is the best gift you could ever give. You are like me in that
you draw inner strength from being alone, from sitting down by the river. Know thyself, know where
you can connect to God and go there often. If you don’t go within, you will go without. Be
comfortable Being alone, its one of the best places in the world to BE. When you can be alone with
yourself, it means you truly love yourself.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Braxton, I know you are a lot like me, only you are better. Our spirits came into contact for a reason
and we don’t yet the know the full impact of our spirits teaming up, but I do know its for something
great. I would one day, in another realm, another life time, hope to find a spirit as strong as yours but
you see, spirits, our souls are like finger prints, unique and never duplicated. Mom and I will look down
your legacy from the skies above one day and have a smile on our faces. The physical world is fleeting.
Your love and spirt will live on into infinity. Remember the impact that your words and actions have on
