Just figured out how to post a picture of my beautiful daughter, Lisa. I miss her so much that I can barely get through some days. Her boyfriend found some more of her things and brought them to me yesterday. Mostly paperwork, but it included a lot of personal things like birthday cards, her kids' schoolwork and drawings, and journals. I feel like I'm invading her privacy by reading her journals, but it was almost like she was talking to me. We were always so close and she knew she could tell me anything. It was hard having to go through her things again.
Every morning I go into Daniel's room and say Good Morning sweet boy. How I long for a response....
Teresa, next month, September 28 is my son's bday. He would have been 29... let the months come and go-- we will be with each other through it all.. Marilyn, yes one look at Brandon and all will smile as his smile is so contagious...whenever i feel the pain now, I also think of all here who feel the same pain and I feel comforted..not because we all 'lost' the most precious, but because we know what each and everyone is going through.. it soothes me somehow to think that OK now i'm sitting in a public place and crying and feeling lost but then Marilyn, Jane, Michelle, Teresa, B Milt, Dia, Dawn and all the precious others here will understand.. n then I don't feel so bad about 'losing it'... When I go out for a couple of hours I'm 'ok' , and then the build up starts .. another couple of hours I know that shaky feeling will make me cry.. ?Thats also when I keep 'talking' to Micks and saying what the hell , u r in a better place, and now u know more so then what stops you from being with me then? ... and all such nonsense... but i love our kids and i love u all.
Isn't it something how we start to dread dates and holidays. Me...again I don't want next month to come. Next month is my birthday but it is also the month my son died. I guess I feel like next month is forcing me to face reality.
Vasanthi, I totally get how you feel. Michael was with me Christmas morning when my fiancé asked me to marry him. Because my father is deceased of course I pictured Michael as the one to give me away. But now he is gone too. So that picture of a wedding for me seems to be gone. My fiancé is being patient but I just can't see it without Michael.
I just want everyone to know I appreciate everyone's support and sharing.
Teresa, what a gift your trip with your son was. He's so very handsome. God Bless.
Michelle, wish you a loving and peaceful weekend my dear.
Hi Jane,
Had gone out with a friend , after lunch was sitting in the cafe and then saw a boy near a bike , who from afar looked just like Shreyas... wasn't long b4 the tears flowed.. every time I go out i feel dysfunctional.. only at home i feel a semblance of normalcy.. driving , i put ion some music so I wouldn't have to think.. but again, familiar places and thinking of the number of times my son drove me back home and me chatting non stop and him commenting with a 'mmmm or hmmm or yeah?' got to me.. felt the need for him to be sitting next to me and missed him so much.... this will never stop ... then how does one live? wish i had something more joyful to share... well other things are going on..looking fwd to Sept when I can be with a man whom i will marry soon, as he is coming to India...just wish I could share this with Micky too-- well, i do and talk to him every time and get answers too...well thats it-- hugs to all here
Good Morning everyone!
How are you today?
