Hi Everyone. I heard this song by a couple of Canadian twins named Dani & Lizzy (2 girls). This song is so beautiful and the lyrics are so right on and from the heart. I am sharing the youtube link . Hope this works.

HI Marilyn

My days are Saturdays. Today. 8:20pm. It is so hard to want to go out and do anything. Seems like I always look at the clock right around that time. I still cannot believe he is gone forever on the earth. I still just don't know why he had to go through all he did and die in such a tragic way. I just want him to come home like he was supposed to that night. I understand these difficult days and pray for strength for us all to get through them.

Mary, when I found that poem, I thought of a lot of people, especially those who intentionally hurt me after Chris died. Although I would love to send it to them, I won't. They probably wouldn't "get it," anyway!

Comment by Michelle H on August 2, 2013 at 2:34pm

Ammy, thanks so much for finding a better, readable copy of what I posted. That was so much easier to read!

Vasanthi, I was also comforted with our conversation. You are such a lovely person; I can see where Shreyas got his joy for life. I did check out his web page and loved getting to "know" him through his photos.

Marilyn and Mary, we also had conversations and they were a Godsend to me. I wish I could meet ALL of you in person. I feel a closeness to you despite the distance between us. Gratefully, our children no longer have ANY distance between themselves and us...if only we could always feel that!

Toni, though your son is gone, tragically, you are blessed to have his friends surrounding you with love. I suspect your son is somehow instrumental in all that happening.

 

LOVE to all!

Toni, I know how you feel and its always a shock after that first moment in the morning-- for a second all is ok and then it dawns ... please know that you are not alone... We forget that God is closer to us than we can ever imagine..please hang on to that and the thought that your son loves you as deeply as you love him and maybe someday it may make sense and right now what will make sense is feeling your son's love enveloping you.. please see that after all we all are on a kind of journey here , a spiritual journey and this is a place which is not permanent, but love is permanent, it will never forsake you. I hope I am making sense cos I am typing as I am thinking..sending love and praying for healing for you. Please do reach out to those in the group here who may live near you? 

Ammy thanks , I also had a problem reading the poem , the lovely one posted by Michelle... yesterday I was so low n in despair-- just talking to Michelle helped and she made me smile... here we all know how important it is to hear about the children who 'went away'... its sheer music to be able to hear about them and hear about the wonderful children whom we have had n do have in our hearts...truly there is something to it that the best flee sooner-- Toni, don't cry and feel your son's presence....love to all...

I took my sons best friend to get his drivers licence yesterday and it was so very bittersweet. my sons 2 closest friends spent a lot of time at our house before Gabe died and they have kept in very close touch with my husband and I  for the last 2 years. we no longer live in the same neighborhood but we see them several times a month, they call us when they need help with anything. Gabe loved the fact that when things were not good at there homes they would come and stay with us. they are now 18 but still call when they need advice.  I came home yesterday and haven't stooped crying since. I want my son here with me. I went to grief counceling since the accident but continue to cry in my sleep every night. every once in awhile I wake up and forget for just a second he is gone. I picked up the phone at work on 5/26/2011 at 1pm and my whole life ended. I thought I would just die in my sleep from so much heart pain but I get up and go to work every day and I am still here

Mary, I found this one.  Hope you can read it.

Love and hugs to all here -- I always draw so much strength from this wonderful group of people. If I couldn't come here I would be more lost.Had read something beautiful, written by Paul Brunton, and have been searching so that I can post it here for all to read-- Haven't found it yet-- but I will and then will post it here..will help us all... xoxoxoxoxox

Marilyn, plans are on , sometime after September , in a month or so after that, that's what we plan.... He has to come to meet my parents!I do wish he could have known Micks and am deeply saddened that it didn't happen that way-- feel bad, have doubts, lots of them about me being able to do justice to this relationship-- sometimes I hope he says I'm awful and calls it off! When I'm happy, I'm also a little guilty-- ughhhhh hate all these feelings , really hate them...Marilyn am happy though that you have spent time with others... I still balk at meeting lots of people :( sometimes people do not talk about Shreyas and I want to shout and say ," what did he do? why are you all pretending like he was never there?":( My mother toochanges the subject when I talk and I seethe ..oh how I seethe...:(

Hitting me

My daughter did MAID last Tuesday and I've been holding up okay.But just now the Christmas convoy (trucks all lit up that do an organized drive through our small town) went by and suddenly I just started crying, thinking how my girl won't be around to have these small moments. And not that she would have - she wasn't a huge Christmas or celebration person. So I don't know why I'm sitting here crying about it.Oh this is going to hurt a lot :-(See More
