Jason Cox
Treasured memories of a special nephew. Although our worlds are different now, or is that just how it seems. For I see you when I close my eyes, because you're always in my dreams. I know you're up in Heaven, and looking down on me, and when I look up at the stars, I know that's where you'll be. Even though I miss you, you're not too far away, because my heart is full of memories, and I treasure them every day. Our time on Earth was special, but it's only the very start, so please keep watching over me, while we're not so far apart. Someday the time will come, when I no longer feel this pain, that's the day when Heaven calls, and we will meet again. Jason, my nephew, my true best friend, my everything. R.I.P. My special one. Will love and miss you more than words can say. T.T.F.N. - BH Sharron. xx
