               I AM WITH YOU STILL

                       In a twinkling of an instance
                          A dream comes to an end
                     The winds of change presented
                         Coming round the bend

                    And so your world is shattered
                        A breaking of your heart
                         The fabric of your being
                          So quickly ripped apart

                        It's all that you imagined
                       In all your wildest dreams
                     The emptiness surrounds you
                         With pain or so it seems

                        But this is not the ending
                  For strength lives on through will
                       My love is always with you
                          And I am with you still

His legacy
Jamie's Legacy to Me  
I have learned more watching Jamie's struggles with addiction than I could have learned from anyone. He taught me so much about what the young addicts go through and I feel I am a much better counselor as a result of my son. This is for you son, you taught me well. I love you and miss you everyday. As I watch your son grow, I will let him know all about you and give him those great big bear hugs you gave and would have given to him. We will watch over him and be the best grandparents any little boy could ever have. Love, Your Mom
