 From The Heart

A Year Ago Today


A year ago today Jonathan's uncle died of cancer.
A battle in which he fought for a while. I believe I
First met Donny in 2007. Although, I didn't know
Anything about him, he seemed to be a great guy.
 
From what I've seen, he was the uncle that Zack
And Dylan loved. When he passed on Sept. 25, 2008,
I didn't know what to say or do. I've never been with
Jonathan when a family member of his had passed.
 
I remember that day when we got that phone call and
How my heart felt. I wanted to cry so bad because I
Didn't know how Jonathan was gonna take the news.
I felt like I could feel his pain but the tears never fell.
 
I done my best to be strong for him but when he started
Crying with the roseary in his hand, my heart broke into
A million pieces. I've never seen Jonathan cry until that
Day. He felt at piece when he gave Donny the roseary he had made him.
 
Donny will never be forgotten for he will always remain
In our hearts. He will always be the guardian angel we talk
Too, laugh with, cry with, share memories with. He will always
Be looking upon us with a smile.
 
A year ago today, we may think of Donny being gone
And in Heaven, when really he has never left us in the
First place. He will always be here walking beside us
Saying "well done". He is our guardian angel.
 
A few days after me and Jonathan had got married, he had told me something that has stuck with me. He told me that Donny was there at our wedding and he recently told me that Donny was there when he got the job and he'll be here when the baby is born. And it made me realize exactly what I said in the poem, Donny has never left us.
