In Memory

I found this today while looking for some  photos of my mom and dad. It is a memorial I wrote for my girls about their brother two years after he was killed. It was published in the local newspaper on March 17, 2000. I didn't realize that I still had it and was very moved to read it again. I hope all of you are touched as well.

What's it like in Heaven, Connor?
Do the stars shine brighter there?
Do you sing with the pretty angels?
Do you miss us all down here?
Have you grown as much as we have?
Do you go to school each day?
Can you see us when we cry for you?
Do you hear us when we pray?
We wish we knew all the answers.
And God says some day we will.
But it's so hard to wait for that day.
When we miss you so much still.
