Connie your son is so handsome and happy looking.  So hard to believe that someone so full of life is not here on earth anymore. 

I pray for the same thing Rj - my hope is they are all up there getting to know one another, sharing stories of their life/family.  Perhaps even poking fun at their moms!  

Today is the 10 month anniversary since Michael passed.

I'm proud of you for continuing the fight even though it must be excruciatingly painful.  Good luck Connie.  Do you have pictures of your son?  I will have to check out your profile - it's always nice to put a face with a name.

Yes the hearing will hopefully be the last of a long court battle. We settled the criminal suit and are now trying to get the city to bring the "wall" that the car crashed into up to safety codes. It ends with an exposed steel beam which is what my son's head hit and killed him. If there had been something as simple as a guard rail around the ends of the wall, he would have had a chance at least. It turns out that this old wall as a structure put up right after a rock slide as a emergency action 50 years ago. It was never replaced with one that went through safety guidelines. It is technically an illegal structure and if it's the last thing I do, I will get that dangerous structure removed or brought up to safety codes so no one else will die that way. For God's sake they could have put one of those big orange barrels, a guard rail - ANYTHING. It practically cut the car in two.... It is difficult going through the depositions and hearings. It keeps everything right in your face - fresh

Connie here's the website  www.alivealone.org.  There's a weekend convention in July in Connecticut that I'm interested in going to.  I think this site would be helpful to anyone that's lost an only child.  It is, after all such a unique situation wouldn't you both agree?  Connie please don't ever feel bad that you aren't in a better place - how could you be?  The love of your life is gone.  I know that I will NEVER be the same and I just can't imaging my life without him.  He was so kind - we truly were best friends.  We are doing an annual art scholarship at his high school each year and last year was our kick off party.  It was amazing.  Michael was very talented; he worked on projects for some big networks like HBO, Showtime, ABC, etc.  

I sometimes get overwhelmed at the amount of grief in this world.  It takes my breath away sometimes when I think that I won't see my child again on this earth.  Connie I think it's wonderful that you have a strong faith - I'm still trying to figure it all out. 

Sorry to hear about your sweet kitty - what is going on with the hearing next week?  Does it have something to do with your son's passing.

Connie, you are going thru so much, i am so sorry! Please do not apologize for sharing everything. You are not discouraging. I realized at my group meeting, this is a life long terrible journey. Many were 10 years into the loss and they say they may have better days, longer periods of not breaking down but it never goes away. I hope your dog gets better. They are our family.
