BRIAN SEAN BIRT In loving memory of a dear boyfriend who passed away on April 26, 2006. She got the news. The phone hit the floor. She fell to her knees and cried his name. He'd just kissed her lips. Her life will never be the same. At the end of her hardest day. The only words she could say were, I want you to live! I want you to love! I want to go back to the way it was! To hear you say my name again! I want to see you smile again! I want you to live! It takes all of her strength. To go through his things. It feels like she's holding him again. The letters he wrote. The books that he read. Some of his shirts still have his scent. She holds to her heart and cries out loud. She prays for an answer. Some little sign and closes her eyes. She swears she hears him say. I want you to live! I want you to love! I want you to go on and not give up! I want you to live! I want you to try! I want you to know that I'm alright! I want you to fall in love again! I want to see your smile again! I want you to live! I miss you each and every day Sean - Sharyn.
