I have a husband and 3 children. I work full-time and I enjoy reading, gardening, spending time with my family and friends.
About my Loss:
My Son was killed on March 6, 2011 in a one- car accident along with his three best friends in the world. There were two survivors. The driver of the car and another passenger, who was the younger brother of one of the boys killed. Alcohol was involved. I am doing my best to cope, but I will never be the same. Tyler was my oldest child and my only Son. He was twenty years old and he was my baby. Although I would not have wanted all three boys to die, it has been a great comfort to all three of us Mom's knowing the boys are together. They truly had an amazing friendship and are now brothers in Heaven. My heart is so broken and although I know that my Son is in a better place, it's impossible to imagine a life without him. None of these boys had ever been in trouble before. I taught my son about the dangers of drinking and driving. I told him over and over not to get in the car with someone who had been drinking. These boys all three were raised to know that drinking and driving is wrong and can be deadly. I just thank God that another car wasn't taken out in the process. None of the boys had their seat-belt on, even though they usually automatically put them on. The only person wearing a seat-belt was the driver who was drunk several times the legal limit.The pain is sometimes unbearable, and my imagination is my worst enemy. It is hard to not think about how broken he must have looked. It kills me to think about my beautiful boy that way. We are trying to maintain some sort of normalcy, but I am struggling. I drive by the site several times a day as it is on the main hwy near our house and there is no way to avoid it. I walk around at work with pretending that I'm fine. I have to in order to do my job. But I'm not fine. I don't think I will every be fine.
