Remember Our Survivors PRO

REMEMBER OUR SURVIVORS
Can you hear me? Can you hear my friends and I? We’re crying out to you from underneath the rubble and debris, from down under the dust and stones... please tell us that we have not been left alone- please comfort our souls to know that though we cannot return, that you will be our voice, our hands, our hearts, tell us you will be there......
Will you tell my little girl that has been waiting for me to come home from work that daddy is so sorry that he cannot come home, but I will be with her in her dreams, that I’ll always live in her heart. Will you kiss her goodnight and ease her fears from the monsters that scare and give her such fright, will you hug her little heart that burns with pain from our separation, she’s just a baby, she doesn’t understand, please take her hand and help her grow... tell her that I know that she misses me. Will you tell her that I miss her too?
Will you tell my wife I’m sorry? I never meant to leave her alone. I told her so many things. I made so many promises I’ll never be able to keep. I promised to take her out to dinner that night, dance and swoon her under the stars. I promised I’d grow old with her, holding her close in my loving arms. Now I’ll never get to see her pretty gray hair, never be able to give her the moon. I’m so sorry honey, for leaving so soon, please don’t shed too many tears, I’ll love you forever, my dear.
And my son, will you help him too?--to understand that I never meant to be so hard on him, I was just trying to help him be the man I knew he could be. I never got the chance to tell him all the things I needed to. Will you tell him for me? Tell him to be strong, that life is hard , but God is good, and one day I will see him again- and he’ll always make me proud- cause he’s my son....
There are so many of us, just so many of us, just people like you with family and friends of our own....
