Marshall Poem

Marshall

More than any other cousins’ birth I was so excited to have you here (close to Katie’s age and close by in Douglas)
Although I love all my other cousins’ kids you were something special (you were here the least amount of time, but I feel like I knew you the most)
Rarely do I go to the hospital to meet new babies, I was compelled to meet you [you were the most beautiful newborn I'd ever seen (don't tell Katie though)]
Somehow Katie knew you were special too, she knew your name right away and asked for you often (knowing even when we went to uncle Georges that you were next door)
How hard it was at your funeral when she kept calling your name (she didn't see your mom or dad so I don't know how she knew what was going on, but she did)
Always know how much you touched us
Life gets taken for granted every day, you have taught me to appreciate the many blessings I have
Love is the most powerful emotion, thank you for showing so many people what it really means.
