Dolly, am so happy that you found the feeling of certainty again after so long.

Thanks Dolly. I was so happy to read that you have gotten the signs you have been asking for. Gave me chills. And I imagine Brandon's strong hands on your shoulders in a form that is free to move and do whatever he wants....He'll always be with you and love you.

Yesterday I thought I was doing well.  there was some thing on TV about some singer, I wasn't paying attention to it.  But then I turned around and the mother was leading her son holding his hand and that was it........ I broke into a million pieces.  didn't see it coming.

Lynn I find that to be very true that dates control our emotions without being aware of what the date is.

Connie, your tributes are sweet.

I found out some of Michael's friends have been holding their own memorials in his name.  They invited me to the next one but I think they need to do their own thing without the grieving mom around.  Maybe it would help me to attend.  I just don't know.

"dancing in the sky" was sent to me on facebook by a friend.  I received it on a day I was feeling really down.  I hope you ladies find the same comfort in it.  That and the one by Allison Krause that Dolly posted, I listen to them almost daily.

Davi, the headstone is beautiful. Birthdays are hard, if you need us we're here.

Trying to pull myself out of the mucky place I've been in lately. I needed the lift me that your post gave to me Connie.

Davi, on our son's birthday last year we made plans that felt right for us. It happened to be Easter and we just couldn't do the usual family get together. My husband scheduled a tattoo to be done on our son's birthday that matched one my son had. It helped to plan something to do that was uplifting and in his memory without having to be around anyone if we didn't want to (I don't mean that in a bad way, it's just a hard day). My son's best friend decided to get one done also and came along.

Another wonderful thing to do is to write a note and tie to balloons and release them. I did that with just his closest friends on dec.1 the anniversary he passed. It really was so sweet to quietly watch the balloons disappear in the sky together and it always helps to write out a message to our angels. Especially young people who don't get a chance to or have a hard time expressing their grief. Thinking of you and sending you love and prayers.

Thanks for that link Dolly. Here's the "Dancin' in the Sky" link also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNoLJy68ZcE

Davi, The headstone is a beautiful tribute to your son. He's so handsome and you can see the light radiating from him. He reminds me of my son Daniel who was killed at age 17. I see they are 2 years apart. Daniel was also a musician and played guitar and drums. I love the music notes and guitar. They have another angel in the choir now. I think you would love this song by Dani & Lizzy called "Dancin' in the Sky". I have to run right now so I don't have time to find the link but will post later. Or if you want you can go on YouTube and search it. Love to all.

Davi, really beautiful headstone.. its nightmarish but thats our present... somewhere within all this are valuable lessons which all don't seem to be called upon to learn.. I hope we do that fast, and all of us here are struggling with intense pain everyday but sharing helps enormously.. just want to thank you all.. Davi praying for you.. Connie thanks.

Thank you Lynn. My heart breaks for everyone else here also. Its hard to see all the pain, but I know that somewhere within all of this is a silver lining, I just don't know what that is yet.

Dylan's headstone looks beautiful.  My heart breaks for you Davi and all of us on this site.
