Timothy James Pereira DaSilva

Tim, I remember how proud you were 3 years ago when Adriana was born and I know you would be just as proud now if you were here to see and hold your new Baby Niece = Alyssa Sierra Medeiros.  She is so beautiful and so perfect, as Adriana is, please watch over them and protect them from harm. 

Tim, Life is just not the same not having you around, I miss everything about you, your beautiful smile, your wonderful laugh, your funny jokes, your warm hugs, you standing over me with your chin on top of my head calling me "shorty", I miss hearing all of your BMX racing stories and  you telling me "sorry Mamasita but I have to go".  

You were constantly wanting to be everywhere possible, now it makes sense, you were always rushing here and there and everywhere because your time was too short with all of us. 

Tim I wish you knew how I feel every minute of everyday, how much I miss you, how I long to see you and hug you and talk to you.

God sent our family an Angel - Alyssa, for us to cherish and love but I still don't understand why he took you so soon, maybe I will never understand it, its too hard living without you Son.

I miss YOU everysecond of my waking hours, I dream about you so many nights,  you are my precious child and my angel, I LOVE YOU Timmy!

Your headstone was put up today, it looks beautiful, but now its so real, it hurts so much to see it but at the same time its great that it got done just before Christmas, since I cannot give you a present I light up as many candles as I can in the hopes that you will see me through the light and feel my Love for you.

Tim you will be FOREVER remembered here on earth and I hope one day soon I will be with you again.  xoxoxoxoxo

POEM

I wish that he was here..
but he had to leave & thats not fair,
maybe God just needed him, an angel.
I still need him with us,
I wish things could go back to the way they used to be.
But now he's gone and he's not coming back.
I wish he was sitting here with me.
But now all i have are pictures and memories of what he used to be.
I wish that i could turn back time,
Because if he was here EVERYTHING would be fine!!
I WISH HE WAS HERE..
But even though he can't be, i know he's watching down on me,
keeping me safe..

this poem was written by me

Longing For One More Day

When we lose someone we love it seems that time stands still.

What moves through us is a silence... a quiet sadness... A longing for one more day... one more word... one more touch..

We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived.  And your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

We will see you again some day, in a heavenly place where there is no parting.  A place where there are no words that mean good-bye.

I remember way back when the kids were young, and Michael and Timmy out playing baseball.  They had so much fun!  That is where their friendship began.

Then the two boys got into BMX racing together, and then there was no stopping them!  Riding their bikes, adding bits and pieces to their bikes, striving constantly to get faster and faster.  They both wanted to be up there with the Bob Roleys, Jay Roleys, etc.  They use to go out into the field behind my house with shovels in hand.  They would be out there all day, and come back when their  jumps were completed.

I remember two friends who had so much fun together, and so much in common.

I remember Timmy and his breathtaking smile, his love of bmxing, and his compassion for those he loved.

I remember Timmy and his love for life, and with all of our wonderful memories we will keep his memory alive.

I will never foget the first night that we hung out together, You convinced me that i had to take you out to a movie and how sly you were because you got me to do it, but of course you drove, what started as a movie night between two friends became the start of something so very much more, We were early for the movie so we decided we would go mini golfing and you let me win(and i can't believe i am admitting that) but another one of your cute little tricks, and then we went to see that movie The longest Yard. And those weren't even the best parts of our night we got back into milton around ten and we decided that we weren't ready to go home, There was something that just drew us to each other i had never met someone in my whole entire life that i could talk to with such ease and that truly made me feel how much they really cared and thats because you did, we Shared so much that night, we learned more that night about each other then some people learn after years of being together. It kept getting later and later and we both just could not stop talking to one and other, and before we knew it we had spent the night in your car and we were both almost late for work, And the best part about being late was that we worked at the same place, and we had to go in late TOGETHER, but we got through that together and that night was the start of many sleepless nights staying up on work nights sharing our thoughts, goals and dreams, And whats most important to me about that night is that i found that best friend that i will ever have in my whole life and soon after that he also became the love of my life.....the best of both worlds lucky us! Thanks for everything you have done for me and continue to do for me, You loved me more in a minute baby then anyone could in a lifetime...i'll never forget you you will always live on in my heart, Look out for me like you always have and in heaven we will be together xoxoxo
