Aaron Havenga (April 2, 1975 ~ November 20, 1994)
At first,
when it happened,
the weight was so heavy
I could not lift it
off my chest;
the way it pushed
on my heavy heart.
But after thirty years
I've learned how to carry
the weight of sorrow.
Although I've aged,
my strength is greater,
the burden feels lighter,
my faith shines brighter.
Nineteen years of love was not enough,
but we will be together again.
Love, Dad
