Read for Merry, in honour or her son Freddie.
Your Name by Sherry Russo
I’ve had this poem for months now, waiting to read it in memory of little Brandon. I’ve found myself mute for a while. Unable to read. But since reading the list of names I’ve found my voice again.
This poem was written by Sherri in memory of her baby boy Brandon, a twin, who died shortly after birth on January 10, 2009 from complications of a collapsed lung.
