Don’t Cry For Me Today
Don’t cry for me today,
I wouldn’t want it this way.
Be strong and smile,
for you will see me in a while.
I know you miss me,
but now in Heaven I will be.
Do not keep your sad face,
I am in a much better place.
Do not let your tears fall,
for I cannot wipe them all.
Yes, my life wasn’t long.
But I’m begging you to be strong.
Live every moment as if it were your last,
I won’t forget any memories that have passed.
Cherish life and love as I watch you from above.
As I remember all of the good things,
I come to see I have gotten my wings.
It is time to go and fly,
as your guardian angel I will try.
Don’t cry for me today,
I’m on my way.
Soaring through the sky,
I watch all of you telling me goodbye.

Mom I truly miss you, things will never be the same without you.
Love Always
Miko
I will always have this to look at when I need you. I don’t know how this will impact me going forward, but I know that I have to do the things that you would expect of me, for myself and my wife and family. You taught me to be upright, and upstanding, and that is what I will strive to do until I see you again.
Love always, your son
Damon
Hi mom,
I’m trying to be the man you wanted me to. It’s harder than I thought, but they say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I know you are watching me and I just want to make you proud of your son. I miss you so much….love your son, Damon
Today it’s been one year. I miss you like it was yesterday. This has been the fasted and most trying year of my life. I remember you telling me one time to stop wishing my days away, but I feel now more than ever you were right cause maybe you would still be here with me. I got a plan, i just dont know how well i will be at making things change for me. I will always try to do the right thing……i love you mom……
Hi mom,
Still trying to take care of your son.?
A change will come, I think of my mother, Judith Ann Baldwin-Taylor everyday. It has made me realize that it is just my brother, Damon and I in this World. ? I Love You, Mom and always will.
It’s been 2 years today and it still feels like you are here with me. I’m trying my best to be a better husband, parent, and friend. A better me. I miss you every day, but I know you would want me to keep trying to live and be a man. I love you very much…….
Your humble son, Damon
Mom, I just want you to know you are thought of everyday?
Think of you every day. I know that your blessings is through our GOD who is Good and Awesome. Soon I will see you, again. Your humble and respectful, son, Keith aka Beefus…
Today would have been your 75th birthday. I know you would be proud of how I am now. I miss you so much, I cant help but be upset with myself with how my attitude was towards the end. You taught me to be kind, respectful, and diligent in how I treated others and I was not like that towards you. Now that you are gone, my life isn’t the same, but I cant rewind. I miss all of our times laughing and talking mess together all of the time cause you told me that bad times always go away eventually. I love you and miss you. I WILL see you again when GOD calls me home too.
Your loving son,
Damon
Hi Mom. Today I have missed you for 3 yrs. Things are still hard, but I am trying. Keith is keith, he is ok in his own way. Lol. I’m trying to find him a place of his own cause I know you were more comfortable knowing he was all good. Mentally I am trying to get myself together, I think I still hide the fact that without you has been harder than I ever thought but you did teach me that life has to go on. I saw your grandson a few days ago, he is only 21, looks 30.LOL!! I’m sure you already knew that, but I will be ok, cause I have to. Miko is still taking care of me, i.just hope I can hang on long enough to take care of her. I love you mom! Till I see you again….your son, Damon
Yesterday was your birthday. I know your looking down on me and guarding me from above. I miss you very much. Love your son.
I really miss you momma……
it’s been 6 yrs…..I really miss you.
