    The Cord We are connected, My child and I, by An invisible cord Not seen by the eye.

    It’s not like the cord That connects us ’til birth This cord can’t been seen By any on Earth.

    This cord does it’s work Right from the start. It binds us together Attached to my heart.

    I know that it’s there Though no one can see The invisible cord From my child to me.

    The strength of this cord Is hard to describe. It can’t be destroyed It can’t be denied.

    It’s stronger than any cord Man could create It withstands the test Can hold any weight.

    And though you are gone, Though you’re not here with me, The cord is still there But no one can see.

    It pulls at my heart I am bruised…I am sore, But this cord is my lifeline As never before.

    I am thankful that God Connects us this way A mother and child Death can’t take it away!

    To My Danny, I don’t know how I am going to live without you in my life. I keep reaching for the phone to call and see how you are doing. I hear your chair coming down the hall. I found myself looking for pocket tee’s in Walmart. At least I know you are finally at rest – no more pain baby no more pain. Forever in my heart and soul. Rest now, Good night I love you

    Rest in Peace Danny. I miss you so much! They say the good die young, and that is the truth!! You were the most amazing brother/father and friend that anyone could ever ask for. It doesnt seem real that you are gone 🙁 I miss hearing your phone calls. I miss getting you the 24 everyday so you and I could do the crosswords 🙁 I miss leaving the door open so you could always get in. We all miss you so very much. I love you Danny.
