"To My Pumpkin" Xavier I will never forget that Thursday when you spent your last day on earth. I just held you tight in my arms and begged you not to leave me because you are my pumpkin. I now realize that there was another plan for you. I would give anything in this world to take that day back, even my own life, but I can't, some things are more powerful than us. I will miss you sitting in my lap and holding you like a baby while kissing those fat cheeks, playing candyland and you cheating, and just by you calling me mama. I love you so much pumpkin, but God loves you more. My promise to you is to keep your name going and to continue to bring that sunshine in peoples lives. I will start a foundation to help kids with asthma to educate everyone including myself in your name. I can imagine the pain Mary felt when she watched her son, Jesus die. I want you to rest now and know that Quanze, Broderick, Zayus, Daniel and I love you very very much you will always be my pumpkin.      ----Love Always Mama
