Thank you Michelle

I am so upset by my sons passing. Your words have helped. Even though it has been

2-1/2 years for your son, I know you feel as I do. I have been told the pain does get better with time. I believe this because of how I am carrying my mothers death. I just wish that I saw this coming. That is why it's so very painful. It's like someone just snatched him from me when I wasn't looking. I want to scream, I want to throw something. My other children can't fill this void. I just want this pain to… Continue

I'll never feel his touch again...*sob*

OMG....I just can't sleep, because it came on so strong...the realization that I'll never feel him touching me again!  It's been 34 days since he was called home.  Never again will I be able to lie beside him with my head on his shoulder.  Never again will he hold me when I cry.  Never again, will his hands hold to mine.  His lips will never touch mine again.  And he will never be able to make love to me again.  A simple kiss, a soft caress, his whisper of I love you late in the night when…

was I dreaming or was it real?

Ok its been nearly 9 weeks now since Andy died , and ive been desperate to dream of him like I did 4 days after he died , in that dream we were just sitting on swings swinging for what seemed like hours but we didn't speak once and when I woke up I felt strange and unsettled, such a weird feeling, weird enough for me to think it was real and not a dream at all , anyway since then nothing , before andy died I dreamt every night I even dreamt he died 2 days before he had his cardic arrest and…

Winter

(These are my thoughts that entered my mind this morning. September 15, 2015)

I am in the winter of my life.

Cold harsh winds blow through me,

Sadness and gloom,

Weigh me down to the ground,

My branches  are weak.

I stand bare and alone-

Where is that playful child?

That playful, happy child inside of me.

Long gone and forgotten.

Your sudden death;

On that bleak November morning,

Has left me full of…

Is it really over? Yet, how can I even ask the question.

Sunday (yesterday) Gary's ashes were buried. A couple days prior I went for broke and gave one last attempt to get some of them. I actually got some. I still can't believe I got it to work out. I've felt like so much was against me. I've been in limbo, stressed, wondering, feeling like I have to be so strategic and careful in how I go about it for 6 months dealing with the concept of his ashes.

I will not elaborate here on details after his passing other than I did not feel…

Organ donor/recipients

The sadness just keeps getting worse. My son, Jamey, was an organ donor. I know that 3 men in their 50s received his gifts. To be absolutely honest, I was not happy to find out that they were in their 50s because I thought he would have wanted to give a younger person a chance for longer life. But, 2 of the men who were recipeints wrote me letters. I am in my fifties and hope like we all do that we are going to be around until we are in our 100s. After the letters, I'm pretty sure Jamey…

I mean no disrepect

What I have laying so heavy on me today is this...why won't churches do more to help their community. I am angry and I will be angry for an unknown amount of time. I can't keep it to myself or I feel like I'm going to explode. But, I have asked several "friends" of mine to ask their churches to help me raise the money for Jameys headstone. They can raise money for a trip to Disneyworld or for the pastor a new car or a vacation trip for the congregation because it's exhausting being a…

The little things.

First let me say if I write to much I sorry I just have so much to say and no one to talk to anymore. I meet jaso. The Friday of labor weekend 10 years ago and I never looked back we were so happy we had the kind of relationship we both had always wanted by no means was it perfect but it was as close as it was ever going to get to perfect. I sit in our room alone thinking of all the things I would tell him about my day if he was here and wonder what his day would have been like I miss him of… Continue

Why bother

I'm wondering why bother with calling out the name of an all seeing, all doing creature that would steal the life of a child and then tell us it was Mr. High and Mightys plan to begin with!  I'm so pissed off right now! We throw people in the deepest darkest hole we can find if they have killed anyone. But this great big wonderful loving monster is thanked every day for his miracles. Even when he's the one that did the killing. How does that make sense? If "he" has a plan for everyone, the…

I prayed so hard that  Friday would not come, my b day without you is so very hard, alice my counceller said you are here and I know you will be.

Spam has beaten me up too bad

I'm done.  I can no longer come here and look at all the spam.  I may try to check back in a few days as I just left a message for Diana but this is useless. I'm not sure what next but I cant take this.

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
