Kathy wished to share a poem that she wrote after their son Anthony was still born many years ago. He was their first born.
28 years ago today
I was getting ready to say "gidday"
And welcome you to our family
Our first born child named Anthony
But your life was cut so short
And now I sit here deep in thought
What would you have grown up to be
A butcher a baker or joined the Army
But the answer I will never know
Because it was your time to go
The tears I cry for you today
Will never ever go away
From the time I rise to the time I sleep Your photo I will always keep Safe in a locket dad gave to me My darling son Anthony
