lightning bug dreams in my hand 

hope in city skies

Dear dad,

I remember when we sat in the rocking share outside for hours just talking out loud. It would have been nice to feel that way once more, just one more time before you left. I remember when dad left for big work trips you calm me down with some warm milk and cookies .And when dad and I went to games on the weekends and ate hotdogs in the bleachers. Thank you for leaving these wonderful memories you left with me.

 Your so,  Locamotion

Dear Dad,

I remember when we went to the Mets game and we were on the
JumboTron. You picked me up and I waved to everybody. To Mama, Lili, and all of
my friends. When I got home mom said I was on TV and that everyone say me. She
said “your famous now, Lonnie!” we all laughed. I want to do that again. With
you; not Miss Edna or my school friend. I want to do it with you. Then we could
be on the Jumbotron again. Famous one more time. 

                                                         love,

Dear Mom,

I remember when a pigeon scared Lili and you thought she was hurt. You’d thought I dropped her and you freaked out. I remember how you used to smell nice, like honeysuckle. Sometimes, I go to the drugstore and smell the honeysuckle talc powder to think of you. I loved the tangerine Life Savers you had in your red pocketbook for me and Lili. You laughed at my jokes even when they sucked and you surprised me with a hug before I could escape. Most of all, I miss when we used to dance to the song “Locomotion” together. I always thought about you in the group home and I think about you even more in Ms. Edna’s house. I think about you the most on December ninth, and I wish you were still here today.

  Thanks for Always Being There,

me to c-town and we get 

twinkies, only sometimes

Dear Mom,

  I remember when you used to tell me not to drop Lili when I would hold her, and how you smelled like a special kind of honeysuckle flower, and how you would just grab me and hug.

The

hardest part about losing you was that learning that you were not physically there beside me.

It would have been nice if you were still right next to me. Laughing with me, and enjoying every second.

If you were right here now, I would jump up and hug you for the longest time possible, I would have forgotten about any kind of fire or death, I would just remember the good times we had, and would have.

Thank You for being there always, a fire may take you away physically but you are still in my heart!

Love,

Locomotion

just ask the new country kid 

clyde cuz he talks weird

I feel really bad for him

I miss him a lot

Dear Mama,

  I remember when you would hug me so tightly, the smell of honeysuckle talc powder drifting into my nose. You would whisper to me, saying Lonnie, I love you. The hardest part about your death for me is that when I wake up in the morning, the sudden pain shoots over me, that today, you ain’t gonna fill my nose with the honeysuckle talc powder that you smell like. It’s that smell that soothes my heart, and makes me feel so loved, and again I realize that the smell of honeysuckle talc powder will not be here today. I would love it if you were here with me right now, so I wouldn’t have this grief with me, and even if I did, you would hold my head so gently with your strong, delicate hands, and you would kiss the top of my head saying, Lonnie, everything’s gonna be okay.I’m sad that God split all four of us up, and even Lili and I are no longer together anymore. My best time with you was when you would laugh at my silly jokes, and I would laugh along with you. Soon enough, we would be rolling on the floor, cracking up, and holding our stomachs. I really miss you Mama. If you were here right now, I would hug you, and beg for you to never leave my side. I love you, Mama. I want to thank you for always being there for me.

  Love,

today is December ninth 

day my parents died

that i will never forget 

my ma's and pa's death

me to c-town we get 

twinkies, only sometimes

she said rodney is coming 

her grin was giant

he says they poop on your head

he really hates them

The day that Lonnie`s parents died

That was four years back

Rodney says. How good it feels to

Have a family

Dear Mom,

I remember when you used to smell like honeysuckle talc powder. The hardest part about your death for me was when I woke up the next morning and you weren’t down stairs making me breakfast or trying to stop Lillie from crying. It would have been nice if I could’ve gone to one of my relative’s houses instead of Mrs. Edna’s house. I’m really sorry that I couldn’t say I loved you before the, “accident,” happened. But I remember the best time I had with you was when you and I would go to the park together and swing on the swings. I can’t imagine what I would do if you were here right now. I would probably hug and hug you till you told me to calm down. Most of all thank you for what you had taught me the past years. I love you!

Your loving and thoughtful son,

Lonnie

Dear mom,

 You’re dead. There`s no sugarcoating it. The hardest part of your death is that I never got to say goodbye. I remember when you used to hug me and you smell like honeysuckle talc powder and know I wish you would hug me again and this time I will never let go. Do you remember when we use to dance to the song Locomotion and how your eyes would light up? I`m sorry that I couldn’t save you mama and every day since the fire on December 9^th I would be sick to my stomach. I don’t know where you are but I know you’re not here your over there and I bet over “there” does not know how lucky they are.

 Love you always and forever,
