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.

Thank you Dolly. I love the cake with music and stars. You're the best. Our Drum Circle we had yesterday in celebration of Daniel's life was just amazing and awesome. I have to say I had fun for the first time since he left. thank you Gerald. C. Rivers for sharing your gifts! Daniel's spirit was felt by everyone there. Happy birthday in heaven my sweet angel boy.
Peeking in to see how everyone is. Love & Hugs to all!
PEACE for all of us on here.... it will be 5 Years May 27,2014...Niles left in 2009.... life seems to be on the time table "BEFORE" Niles Died to "After" Niles died. But it has developed into a new "Normal" most days. I still have waves of snotty Nose Cry sessions... and times where it seems like it just happened.... I have experienced some close friends at young ages having strokes...or passing away.... makes me again realize how random life and death are. We never REALLY GET OVER IT when losing a child.... but we do find another chapter in our book of life.
My Internet has been giving us some trouble and we still haven't been able to figure it out so I have not been on as much but you all are never far from my thoughts.
We all talk about finding peace with our grief but I have found that the only peace I have is when I seek it. I must find my own way to have it. I believe it's possible for all of us. We just need to find what will work. It's an individual thing. It's not an everlasting peace, but it does give my life some breaks from the sorrow I have.
The time that has passed may also be a factor with achieving this. I don't know. I do know that getting through the first 2 years were harder. I am coming to a close on my 3rd year, and there were still some deep valleys I fell into. Less than before so just keep moving forward; step by step. I feel I am learning how to live all over again and it's a slow progress, but it is progressing. There is no miracle healing in grief. It will never be completely gone but I believe we can make it through.
Hope I made some sense.
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you every day and night.
Today I'm especially thinking of you Connie, and your son Daniel as you have your Drum Roll. I hope it will bring you some happiness along with the ache of not having Daniel there physically.
The physical absence is what hurts the most but we will always have them with us. They are embedded into us and nothing will ever remove them.
Blessings to all.
