First day it really feels like spring here. Just thinking about Kyra not being with us to enjoy it. I hope it is a beautiful day wherever she and all our children are. I hope they can see us and feel how much we still love them. This first year is something else.  Some days I could fall asleep in a chair around 4:00. Thank you all for helping me know I will get through this somehow. Hugs to all.

Dolly, I understand.  I feel the same way, no one talks about our son except his daughter will talk to me about him.  I think she is forgetting him and wants to be reminded of what he was like.  Sometimes she will ask to look at pictures or watch movies.  

But after I read your comment I thought how I hardly ever bring up my son to my husband or daughter because I don't want to upset them.  Wow, that was an eye opener for me.  And yet I want them to talk about him.  Maybe we all walk on eggshells.  I don't know.  Everything about this seems to becoming more confusing to me.

How is Bo doing?  Do your other son or daughter talk about Brandon with you?  

Blessings of peace & love to all.

Dolly we will never forget Brandon.  They are just afraid to upset you.

Anne, I remember you sharing that.  It's just frustrating how people expect you to just move forward like nothing.  These are our babies. No matter what age, they are our babies.

I know exactly how you feel Teresa. My mother and sister compared the loss of my sisters dog to the loss of my boys. I know that any kind of loss of life is painful, but to compare the loss of a child to a dog or boyfriend is absurd. I chalk it up to ignorance.

Yes , a VERY inappropriate comparison. You need support from people in your life not them diminishing your pain.  I'm sorry you have to lose a friend as well.

Teresa, I'm sorry that your friend can't see the reality of your loss.  We would never want them to have to experience it, but that truly is the only way for some people to understand.  Brush the dust off and leave it behind.  We understand.

I hope you will enjoy the sunshine and warmth today.  

Blessings to you and all here.

Connie, I am blessed that you had a good day with Daniel's friends.  I hope the memory of it will always give you a smile.

What an inappropriate comparison Teresa.. I'm sorry you had to hear that ..people are mad!!!

I forgave the friend that told me it was time to get over it, but she is now trying to compare her break-up with her boyfriend to my loss of my son.  I can only hold my breathe for so long.  I told her she was selfish and ignorant and hung up with no intention of ever calling her again. 

You want people to understand what you are experiencing but the only way for that to happen is for them to walk in your shoes and I wouldn't want to wish that on anyone. 

A break up of a boyfriend like REALLY!

Connie, I am so happy for you that you were able to find a moment of happiness and that it was focused around Daniel. 

Seeing his picture.....Daniel looks so handsome and happy.

Connie, it's awesome that the Drum Circle went so well and that you were actually happy! Daniel's birthday and he gifts you! We KNOW he had an awesome birthday. Dolly, beautiful birthday cake.

Davi, thinking of you and praying for better days.
