Teresa d - that is exactly how my husband and I feel. We grieve the loss of our son's life experiences but the most of all - that he never got to be a dad too. Today is super hard. I have been silent lately because I just don't have the words, feeling very sad an beaten down. But I hold you all in my heart. As I am reading all all your posts, tears flowing, I am praying for strength for us all to get through another day, another "holiday" with our hearts open to the love we share with our children forever.
My father passed away in August 2008 from Cancer. I think of him every day and miss him a lot. HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!
I hope all the dads find peace.
In my last call with Michael on of the things he spoke about was being financially ready to take on a family. He told me he wanted 3-4 kids. As he told me this I imagined him with 2 little boys sitting next to him while throwing a third into the air and of course they all looked like him. Michael will never get to experience being a dad and I will never get to see that image for real. MOMMY LOVES YOU MIKE!!!!!
I think we run out of words out of being emotionally exhausted. I'm still not sure who the new me is but I know the old me is gone. The pain is not easing I think I'm just learning how to manage it better. It's been 21 months yet some ask why am I still crying daily. Well I had my Michael for 29 years. He was a part of me and now a piece of my heart is gone. I miss the most annoying things he did, I miss his bear hugs, our conversations, his humor, his smile.
One night he was stuck working late. He was at an intersection laying pipe when he called me and asked me to order him food to be delivered to him. Trying to get somewhere to deliver to an intersection took some work. They thought it was a prank. I had to call a shop up the block so they could look out the door and see him. Then after I finally got them to agree to deliver it he gives me an order for all 5 of the guys he was working with. Typical Michael rope me in. Yet I always allowed myself to fall for it. Now I'd give anything in this world to be on the phone trying to take care of him while he's working late in the street.
Michael I love you more than words could ever say............
today I went early to see my son, its raining, dam and cool out. hurts so bad everyday. cant sleep and im always tired. I miss him so bad, the emptyness is so painful.i want so bad to feel him with me. how do we go on, I just don't understand anymore. I love him more then life and I need him so very badly.
I, too, read and often remain silent. Just don't know what to say or even what to feel. It seems so unreal. I wonder if it ever will...
I read and ponder and worry about the pain we will carry and the permanence of death and feel it so ridiculous that I know there has to be something better...... love to all here , I read everyday and I want to soothe and cpomfort everyone but some days I just read and go silent, but you all are in my heart and prayers.
oh dear god anne, im so very very sorry. you have gone threw hell. my heart is with you always. sometimes I feel im the only one that has lost the love of my life my son, but to hear other stories breaks my heart more. I feel theres nothing more to live for without my shawn, I cant even think of what you are going through. please anne im hurting like I have never hurt before but ill be here for you always. I don't feel ill ever get through this but its nice to know we can talk and we both understand the pain. take care and thank you for sharing. love kim
Hello Kim! My son was killed in a car accident. A man driving a big truck with a equipment trailer on the back, ran a stop sign at 70mi per hour and t-boned my daughters car. My daughter was left severly handicapped on the left side of her body, and my son was killed. He fought on the front lines of Iraq for 19 months as a bomb hunter, and was killed one month before his voluntary second deployment. His buddies were being deployed so he thought he should go back, and help them stay alive since he already knew the terrain. My 12 year old son was burned to death in a car accident before this. Ben was 24.
