CHAVEZ -- Michael Anthony November 15, 1960 - July 31, 2003 I know it wasn't easy for you to let him go, But love like yours would not hold back your love to suffer so. And so I took him quickly so he would never know A lengthy time of darkness that would distress him so. I left his body here a while so you would have some time to be prepared to let him go...He was already mine. I bid him come while happy, with joyous plans ahead...And laughter in his face and heart and not one thought of dread. You have the most to suffer, your loneliness to bear, But know that he is safe with Me, within my loving care. And never doubt my love for you I know you wonder why...Just know My strength will be your joy. My love will never die. I bore My sons's own suffering and I will bear yours too. Give your doubts and pain and hurt and I will see you through. (CLLC) Today would have been your 48th Birthday, My Hito. Love, Your Mother
