He always helped me with chores, I miss him during harvest. Does not seem the same.

The sad thing is that I will be hunting without my son Danny, the real outdoorsman. Hunting and fishing was his passion. This will be the first year I have gone since he left, I really can't go fishing without him.

You guys are always going on about signs, I don't know if this is a sign or not. I was coming home tonight and I saw a rabbit on the side of the road in the park. No big deal, but it was a white rabbit. Definitely a pet. A white rabbit would never survive in the wild. I stopped and approached him, stroked him, and brought him home. 

I contacted the SPCA and my home owners association, I bet some little girl is crying about it now. I got him in the back in a cage with water, grass and a box with rag to sleep in.

And to think Saturday, I will be out trying to shoot his wild cousins or a nice buck deer.

Linda and Connie what beautiful gifts to receive.

Teresa,

Thanks, my spelling of plaque seemed off. Could not put my finger on it. Thanks for sorting me out.

Dick - I'm sorry for what the BSA did to you. certainly not worthy of the character it took for your boys to achieve Eagle Scout. I hope you can let them know how thoughtless that was. Keep the faith and listen for the still voice inside you. I know your son is still with you.
Linda how bitter sweet to find the note. I also received a letter from my son written 3 years ago in school that was meant to be sent to themselves in 3 years as a motivation. His teacher brought it to me personally instead and when I held that paper he had written an dread his words, I just can't explain the emotions. His last sentence to himself was " I just hope you are happy and well., Sincerely, yourself" Always so funny. And I hope he is happy and well no longer in the physical pain he endured. Oh God I miss him so much I can hardly breathe.
Love to all

Dick, I enjoyed seeing the pictures of your wonderful sons. Handsome young men and Danny will remain forever young. I'm sorry about the problem with the Eagle Scouts. Insensitive and hurtful.

Linda, that must have been very hard to find...yet such a wonderful message to you from Desiree. Did it bring you any comfort?

my pain has found a new level today. i found a letter she wrote accompanied by her living will. the letter was addressed to me. it begins with "Mamma, I going to make this short since I don't feel you'll be reading this", it end with " mamma you were my world, Love Desiree'".  I can't comprehend why she would have used the past tense. I miss my boog so much it pains me to breath.

I read these messages and wonder if I'll ever stop crying as I see so many posts where even years have past and yet your pain is still so vivid.

Love and prayers to you all.

No wonder you are upset that was very insensitive and sure doesn't uphold the values of eagle scouting. So sorry Dick. 

Comment by Teresa D. on October 29, 2014 at 6:29am

Dick I would be upset too.  I wouldn't want the plaque either. No wonder you were so upset.  I'd have to let them know how insensitive and disrespectful their action continues to be by having that wall in storage.
