Happy Birthday!!

Today is November 17, 2011 and my son would have turned 31!!  Wow....I wonder what kind of man he would have been......married??....children??...  I'll never know and can only dream.  That's all my thoughts can consist of anymore --- dreams and made up stories of how full my life would be if he was still here.  But instead, I am empty....  He died at the age of 22 on July 26th.  My life will never be the same.  I know events and things happen to change our lives every day but when you lose a child on the cusp of adulthood and you're ready to sit back and enjoy the rewards of all your hard work in raising him and in an instant it is all gone and a piece of you has died too.  I am alone and miss him.  Happy Birthday Josh!!

Addie replied to Kali's discussion It was not supposed to be like this in the group Being the Other Woman/Other Man
"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

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
