Always remembered Micheal 01-19-1991

My Beloved Son!

  Born & Died January 19, 1991 on a Saturday morning

I will love you always, Michael Anthony Cruz-Melendez …

Portrait a good friend made of what I described of Michael and a picture of my nephew that looks a lot like him.  I will always remember Donna G. for giving me this! I love you!

It was not too long ago that I began a scrapbook for the love and loss of my son.  This is the dedication that is the scrapbook that maybe will be part of his book one day!

Michael,

This past year I have struggled to find ways to say good bye to you in a proper way. Finding ways for me to grieve for you in a way I never have before and I thank God for The privilege and space to do this.  Especially because I have so many people around me that care and want to help me. 

As I look ahead to my future I know now you are a part of me and always have been.  I promise you I will live a good life…A life unto our Lord Jesus Christ.  And, when mommy

Has children I promise I will be the best mother I can be for them and in many ways for you too.. One thing is for sure I am glad that the Lord has brought me to this place in my life.  For it is helped me to appreciate you.  You have helped me in so many ways to be a better person.  I love you and as I look towards the future I know you are at peace with our Lord; in the best possible care. Thank you for being apart of my life!  Thank you Lord for the freedom and healing you have brought to me, I will continue to my story.

Love you,

Mommy

This year Michael would have been 19 years old and with all that is going on in our world I planted a tree in celebration and memory of his precious life lost:www.memorialtrees.com/
