I am Positive – A poem for Christian

I have been told that in the face of adversity you must be positive.

Since the death of my son Christian I am positive about many things.

I am positive that losing my son is the hardest thing I have ever endured.

I am positive that I loved him more than words can say.

I am positive that every day without him is hell.

I am positive that I will never be whole again.

I am positive that I will mourn his death the rest of my life.

I am positive that I will do everything I can to keep his memory alive.

I am positive that I have to fight every day just to be ok.

I am positive that the only way I would feel great is to have him back.

I am positive that I would give my life if could have his back.

Christian, I am positive that I will love and miss you the rest of my life.
