A poem written by Travis Jr.’s mother, co-founder of Remembering My Child, in honor of Travis Jr.’s second heavenly birthday, which was July 1.

Missing You
It’s your birthday today and we’re missing you
Missing your smile
Your laugh
Your voice
Your words
Missing your growth
And so much more
Today you’d be two and we’re missing you
Missing your steps
Your jumps
Your leaps
Your runs
Missing your milestones
And much more fun
On your birthday today we’re missing you
Missing your cry
Your reach
Your play
Your teeth
Missing your breath
More than words can express
Today’s your birthday, today we miss you
Tomorrow and after, the same will be true
We’ll miss your touch
Your hugs
Your love
We’ll miss your joy
Sweet baby boy
But we hope one day
To hold you close
Until then, we’ll say
For another year
Happy heavenly birthday
Our dear,
Travis Jr.
