DSCF4047.JPG I am a single mother of 2 boys who are 18 months a part and very close. We are a close family and have always done everything together just the 3 of us.

I lost my 17 year old son, Tyler Lane Budro, on March 10,2013 to an unknown illness. He was 17 years old and a junior at Hull Daisetta High School. He was sent home from school sick on Tuesday February 19 and went to the doctor that day. They did a mono test and gave him antibiotics. The next day he wasn't any better so he was taken to the doctor again. He received an antibiotic shot and more medicine. On the next day, Thursday, he felt better and ate really good. Friday, February 22, his girlfriend came to check on him and she left him at 1:45 and my dad came home at 4 and found him on the floor. He had been having seizures and was not responsive. He was taken to the ER in Beaumont, TX and was transferred to Pediatric ICU at Memorial Herman hospital in Houston. They were not able to stop him from having seizures and he was put into a medical induced coma to slow down brain activity. Most of his skull was removed to allow room for his brain to swell. They ran test after test to try and find out what was wrong with him, but the only thing he ever tested positive for was mono. After 16 days in ICU we lost him on March 10, 2013, the day before his brothers 16th birthday. It took 10 months before the autopsy was completed and another month to get the report, but they still didn't find anything.

She had her baby last night so I'm on my way today to go see her new little one. 

Vasanthi, Again CONGRATULATIONS! 

I went this weekend and helped my daughter dress up her balcony.  It was nice spending the day with her. 

Every year about this time knowing I love to garden Michael would call me and tell me "Go get your flowers Mom".  For Mother's Day he would allow me to get all the flowers and plants I wanted from the garden center. Buying flowers has become so hard.

Teresa D - giving to others is never a bad thing. Always follow your heart. You are obviously a very giving person and have helped and touched many hearts. I believe that by helping and giving others it helps to heal us all. Even your daughter - she just doesn't realize it yet. You go girl!

I use to run a youth group for troubled teens.  Some of the kids, now adults, have stayed connected to me.  One of them lost a baby during birth and reached out to me immediately.  She is pregnant again and right now my car is full of baby stuff. My daughter says I need to stop treating everybodies baby as if it is mine.  I say who am I hurting. 

She realized not only do I buy gifts for every bodies kids but I am doing it on the street and in the stores too.  As soon as I see a little boy I want to buy him something.  She says I need to stop and again I say who am I hurting. 

Didn't even realize I was doing it.

Thank you for expressing your thoughts Teresa about comments that can make parents who have lost children feel uncomfortable. Only those who have gone through this type of loss can understand the devastation that follows.

Have a wonderful day tomorrow Vasanthi. I know your son will be next to you during the ceremony and the reception. I hope the sun shines brightly for you. Dolly, I am sending hugs to you, some days are unbearable, but your sons smile lights up the sky. I try to tire myself out everyday so I can sleep some at night. On Monday we fly to LA to visit my step-son and his family. There are so many birthdays to get through this month. Just want to stroke my daughters cheek and hold her hand. She has the most beautiful skin, when I walk past her pictures I can't help but touch her face and kiss her. At least I can work out in my gardens again. I was able to pick up two clients who want me to take care of their gardens. I hope it will distract me when I get in a funk. Love to all here.

thank you Connie... it helps to have you to talk to... because YOU know what I mean ... sadly... wish we DIDN'T know

So sorry for your pain Dolly - I am holding you close in my heart. He is still with you but I know that doesn't help the physical loneliness. What a beautiful smile!
