In Loving Memory of Ethin RaiLuc Twigg January 9, 2009-June 27, 2009
Written by Jessica Twigg, mother of Ethin, to the Detroit QFAD/Heroes chapter
| C.S. Mott’s Childrens hospital is one I know to well It’s a place where stories are and families dwell The halls are filled with people some are happy and some are sad Some come in and some go, some work hard to make it not as bad I spent many days there praying by a special boy Some days were hard but Ethin brought me a lot of joy Day in and day out some days were all the same Then one day some very special people came They wore boas, badges, and uniforms They had come in to bring a light in the midst of all our storms Making our children heroes and queens for a day Giving parents massages for a moment showing us something besides the gray Laughter that day they filled all the halls Giving out tiara’s, fire hats, and balls Some tears that day I know I shed When I took them to Ethin who was confined to his bed They stood there listened and talked for a while A picture was taken everyone wearing a smile A chief held my hero until the picture was done His name was Ethin he is my son Since that day my life has changed in the most drastic way For Ethin has gone to heaven and on this Earth he could not stay I wish he was here with us all tonight But Ethin my warrior, my hero, my son he has won his fight The men and women who came that day to share there title of hero They are heroes without that badge or uniform this I know For they come in and expect nothing in return The things they go through for these kids there is so much we can learn Ask them about the kids and families whose paths they cross Make sure you comfort them when they hurt when our lives face a terrible loss Let them share with you the smiles that they get to see And know they are heroes beyond the uniform you all see! |
