- Lillie, 14, Halifax
 Three years ago today the world lost an incredible person. Bruce Milsom died and with him a little piece of me. He was my uncle whom I was very close with and miss every day. I think about him all the time and love him to the moon and back. He was taken by the ugliest cancer (lung cancer) and it was unfair and cruel. I should be happy now that he is out of his suffering but I still wish he was here. My life will never completely be the same, but at least his life had meaning to it. Brucie I love and miss you, rest in peace. I hope you are a happy star in the sky.
Today a piece of me died,
I told it to stay,
but it left anyway.
It left with you,
though you stayed with me,
living in loving memory.
You brightened up my life so much,
it doesn’t seem real that you're gone,
but I will somehow move along.
I try not to cry,
but it hurts so badly,
sometimes it even makes me mad.
Why did it have to be you?
It seems so unfair,
You left so many people here who care.
I know I’m selfish,
But I miss you so,
I tried so hard not to let you go.
But now I must,
Let you be happy as a star in the sky,
I guess this is where we say goodbye.
So au revoir,
One day when I’m a star,
our distance won’t be so far.
Goodbye for now,
But please don't really leave,
I know you'll always be with me. |
