Lisa you will be in prayers. Zach died on September 3rd and it would have been his 24th birthday on December 16th. We had to go through so many first so fast. My birthday was in November, then Thanksgiving, then my husband's birthday (two days before Zach's), then Zach's. We decided to have a get together for all his good friends and our family on his birthday. I was so glad we did it, though I wasn't sure how I was going to be on that day. We had a video continually playing on our tv of zach with family and friends, so if anyone wanted to watch it they could. It was a tough day, but I am glad his friends were there, they were there the day he died and we wanted them to be there to celebrate his life with us. I am glad you have your daughter's blood drive to continue on, what a wonderful thing to do. I will be thinking of you and hoping you have some peace. Hugs. Robin

Oh, Angela how wonderful for you!! Glad this brought you some peace.

Everyone, please say some prayers for me as I am approaching Roxanne's birthday celebration.  Her birthday is April 1st.  This will be the first one without her. I know many of you here have recently had this experience.  Last year on her 17th, Roxanne organized a blood drive from her hospital bed.  She didn't want anything for herself, she only wanted to give back.  The drive was a huge success and so, this year, I am once again hosting.  It's given me something positive to focus on instead of just the dread of the day itself. But I know it will still be a tuff day.  check out the video I posted on my page in honor of her birthday.

Yesterday, while riding home from work, I was saying to my sister " I wonder if Tammy is missing us and sad. I hoped that she was  happy in Heaven and doing all the thing she could not do while on Earth  Walking, running, no breathing problem, no sickness. This morning my sister came to me and asked "is this yours?". She was holding one of those pins that go on a lapel. Not so uncommon those pins... except it was an Angel pin. She found in on the floor of my bedroom . I have a similar pin attached to a curtain in my grand children's bedroom. It is still in the children's room. I don't know where the pin she was holding came from. I truly believe my sweet daughter left it there last night to let me know she is okay. I am at peace. Thank you my sweet angel , my precious. I love you forever ...MOM

Saturday, the 3rd was six months since we lost Zach. It still seems totally not real but I know I have to face the fact that he is not just hanging out with is friends, he is not coming home or walking through out front door ever again. Friday night I kept having flash backs of that horrible night and days that followed. It all seems like a horrible nightmare, I still have that feeling that some how I can fix it. During the week on put on my mask and go to work, take care of my granddaugthers, do the things I am suppose to do. Then every weekend the mask starts to slowly peel away. I have been making myself go to church on Sundays, and this Sunday I really did not want to go because my husband could not go with me. I forced myself, because it does make me feel good, but ever time I go I cry. So many people there know me and my family, and I just feel like they have that face when they see me. I know you all know what I mean. It was one of those, goose bump moments though. My pastor talked about how we all go through hard times, and we don't understand but how when something bad happens and someone says "I'm so sorry" how it means to much more when someone can say "I'm sorry I went through the same thing last year". He said that hopefully we can use the bad experiences to help someone else who is going through something similar. That is what you all do for me on here. My husband went to the dr. last week and was diagnosed with clinic depression and post traumatic stress disorder. The counselor said it is very common when someone goes through something sudden and traumatic and unexpected like how Zach died. They changed my husband's medication and he will continue with counseling, hopefully it will help him some. I know you all know how hard going through this can be on a marriage. My husband  never used to go to church with me, but he usually goes with me now. That is one good thing that has come from this nightmare. Thank you for letting me ramble this morning. Take care my friends. Big hugs. Robin

This is the only place that makes sense to me right now. No one else understands.
