Oh I believe there are angels among us. Sent down to us from somewhere up above. They come to you and me in our darkest hour. To teach us how to live, and teach us how to give. To guide us with the light of love! This is from the song Angels Among Us by the band Alabama  I sing this a lot when i'm lonely.

Oh Marilyn, what a lovely gift.  Your angel sounds beautiful.  I am truly happy for you.  Especially that you are able to enjoy this time with your family.

I love angels because I do believe they are with us and minister to us.  Earlier this month my husband brought home an angel for the small flower garden he has made for a memorial to our son as we also have kept his ashes so we don't go to a cemetery.  I had a small one out there and was mentioning that I would like a larger one, but thought I would have to be the one to get it.  I count it a blessing.

I would hope that all of you are experiencing some comfort and peace.  This weekend has been hard for me, but I know it will ease up again.  I just have to walk through it as I have so many times before.

This is a picture of our little area for Cha.

Marilyn, it is a blessing to hear that it's going okay.  I don't expect it to be wonderful, but this is good to hear.  Hope each day you find some joy and comfort as you feel the love of those with you.

No problem Michelle.  I know it's almost impossible to remember everyone.  That's why I usually just write to 'all'.  There are some that eventually leave, pop in whenever or just read the posts and the newcomers keep arriving.  So sad, and this is just one place on the Internet.  There are many others.  

Thank you for thinking of me.  Hugs.

Never would have believed how many families have lost children until I experienced it and started paying more attention.  If I watch the news I don't think a day goes by that I don't hear of someone's child being taken.

Ammy, sending you positive thoughts. I didn't mean to omit you from my earlier post.

Marilyn, glad to hear that the trip started out well enough.  I hope you are at your son's place or close to it.  I pray that all is going okay and you will be able to enjoy some family time together.  Brandon is with you always and he would want you to have some comfort during this time.

Blessings to you and yours.

Shelley, you are in that place of self condemnation.  Questioning, wondering, doing the 'what ifs'.  I think this is normal.  I went through it and still have some of those thoughts occasionally.  

I'm sure you're a good mom and I'm sure your son knew you loved him.  Why wouldn't he?  None of us are perfect in parenting.  No one is perfect.  We are human and we all make mistakes.  That does not make us bad people.

My faith leads me to believe that our children are okay.  We are the ones that are not okay.

Take care, try to have some positive thoughts, and hang on.

Blessings & hugs.

Hi all.  Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and understand what each of you are expressing.  Sending thoughts of comfort and healing along with my prayers for each one.

Marilyn, so proud of all that you're doing! Jane, it's good to see you on here. How are you doing? Vasanthi, you are a sweetheart to be thinking of us all by name. Anne, you give me hope. Karen, your group has helped so many of us. Dick, I ache for you. Mary, I feel like you and I are leading parallel lives! Connie, I pray for you. Anyone I forgot, it's not because I don't care. You are all dear to me and I am so sorry you have to experience this pain. Peace to all.
