| TOUCH THE SKY Once in a while, I sneak out at night go to the field stretch my arms up and touch the sky It’s all so far away the stars, the moon, the darkness and the silence and the earth holds onto me so tightly Still I reach up higher and higher and higher I don’t move an inch but I reach the stars and beyond through the blackness I become as one with this night I’m beyond good and bad pain or happiness imprisoned or free by Phil |

| Dear Philip, We love you and miss you. We are grateful that God lent us you for 18 years. We are heartbroken but know you are in safe hands where you will feel no pain, rejection or sorrow. What keeps us going is the faith we have that we will see you again in Heaven one day. Until then, we will continue to take one step at a time as the grief from losing you continues. Love, Mom & Dad |

| A Little Bit About Our Son Philip was very good with computers, so much so, that he was the recipient of an award from the Westchester Business Institute, for Outstanding Computer Achievement. He loved to grow things. Plants just flourished under his gentle care. His favorite plant was the Bonsai Tree and cactus plants. Philip loved to play chess and was very good at it. He also liked writing poetry and short stories and hoped to be a journalist one day. Philip had a great personality and loved to make people laugh. He was kind, gentle and loving. |

The pictures of your son could be a twin to my Kevin, who died 26 years ago to suicide. His 39th birthday will be July 15, 2009. We had him for 13 years. Thanks for sharing.
