Sunday 26th February
I try so hard to hide my sorrow
(You’re not supposed to cry)
Instead I speak of you everyday
And the memories intensify.
Remembering all your qualities
That made you so individual
Such a quirky personality
An enigma, a true original.
When you were born, the doctors said
“They broke the mould upon your birth”
You grew up into someone special
We loved you beyond all our worth.
And so it was, when you breathed your last
A massive veil of heartache descended
Obliterating our future plans
With broken lives that can’t be mended.
And so we try to pick up the pieces
A rollercoaster of love and grief
Some days are better than others
We just have to have a strong belief.
Truly grateful for those thirty years
To watch you develop and grow
Our dearest, darling Angel son
Love you more than you’ll ever know.

The surfers were out in force again today
Grey and mizzly
The Journey of My Left Foot (whilst remembering my son) 
Do not be ashamed to talk about it all day. I understand that it takes time for the pain to fade. And writing has always been a valuable help. Then continue. God bless you

Grieving is an individual thing. She grieved her father for 10 years before it began to subside a little bit at a time. A mother’s grief losing a child would be that much more intense. Feel yourself hugged.

With belief comes the certainty that he does know!
A truly grey day. We had one, too, but I got some mowing in before descending wet happened.

He is with you in a different way now, knowing all, seeing all and loving you as much as you love him. Separation is our price for living a life-first from our Creator and then each time we separate from someone we love it is painful anew. When my Mom passed I was two weeks from having my first son. She was the only person I ever felt really loved me or that I trusted. It was lonely raising children without her help. Once I began to see the messages from her all around me, I felt closer to her than before. She was no longer ill, no pain of her own, and we embraced in Spirit. I can imagine the pain of losing one of my children but have not been where you are. It is good that you don’t try to hide what you feel. Expression helps to heal. Hugs.

Thank you for the lovely sentiment.
Frank knew so, so many during his thirty years, so I’d like to think his soul and energy will be around for a long time to come.

This is precious, and heart rendering, and so relatable as a mom who has also lost her son. Sending you hugs!!! I know you wrote this years ago, but I also know the emotions are probably still just as real, as when you wrote them.

Awwwwww….. Thank you so much.
I had to go back and re-read what I had written….. It still hurts, it does make me so sad, it makes me think that life is not fair, it makes me feel guilty, and I know my hurt, thoughts and feelings will never change.
Every morning is the same….. My son is not there.
He was.
But no longer.
But I am so very grateful for the time we did have together.
Not long enough though………
