  9. You are my ” big boy ” Mikail
    My!! how you stood out in all your little ways
    Never loud but through your eyes I could see how busy was your mind
    So thoughtful and intentional as you organized your little words
    My ! My !! your innocent penetrating eyes
    And that big boy shy made it difficult to smile as your mother shined
    Twice a day I would see your curious eyes
    And really wonder what God had in mind with those little wise eyes
    May we all come to rest in joy
    You were always Someone’s Big Boy.
    Eye to eye.

    Dear Jason and Iris
    In a way I am a stranger but something always happens in relationship even as a bus driver. My daily routine included your son and that made us neighbours. I looked forward to seeing him every day stumbling to make his first step onto the bus. I missed him last week. His style was to communicate with his eyes.

I will never forget him!
