I remember

Oh Nate, as I look at your picture,
I remember how your hair feels, when I would stroke your head.
I remember how your skin feels, when I would scrub your back.
I remember your voice, when you would ask for more crackers.
I remember your love, when you would squeeze me and kiss me before putting you in bed.
I remember your smile, oh I remember your smile, when you would lift my heart above the clouds.
I remember choo-choos whose motors would run constantly.
I remember your kiss on Ani's head before bedtime.
I remember your puzzle skills.
I remember the sound of your "stampy walk", and how I could tell you and Ani apart, though my back was turned.
I remember "hot!".
I've forgotten nothing, my son, you're still here with me, though tears accompany my memories now.
I love you and I miss you, my Nate-Nate.
