Too young. Too much life left. Too soon

Tony was born premature and had to stay in the hospital for little while. So was Dontae. They were cousins n my nephews. At the age twenty-five they will die four months apart. I held them both in my arms as babies and in my heart as they got older. Both boys knew I loved them without a doubt. They also knew I wouldnt put up with any nonsense. They respected me for that. I love u boys and I can't believe you are gone. You were to young to leave here. It was too soon to lose you. You two would always tell me you love me and I always said the same. If we had the chance to say it a thousand more times it still wouldn't ease my brokenheart.
