Bio
I have been here, oh my, 2 or 3 years and in that time I have seen my youngest daughter wed and have my first beautiful granddaughter. I have seen a son join the Navy and fly away and I have buried my oldest son. This makes two sons I have lost and right now the world seems unfair and harsh but someday I will smile again and remember the good times more than the bad. Did I mention the alcoholic husband who has been in the hospital three times near death...it makes me wonder much about why some live, yet don't, and some die who are just starting to live. Out of 6 children I still have 4 and they are the light of my life....

Gravestones

Word of warning never ever open an email that says memorial stones first thing when you get to work in the morning. 

No matter how strong you think you are it truly sucks to see your child’s name emblazoned forever on marble in two very different stones.  

This is going to be a very long day….. 

Deep breath, DEEP BREATH, now back to work.

Just writing it all out releases all that tension, all that pent up angst and I will get through the day but man that was a silly thing to do at 5 in the morning. They are both beautiful one with a dog and cat above their names and one with his wings from school and her apple on a desk for a teacher. Both with his, with their last name in the middle.

I sent it out to my family for help with the rest of it as he was all of ours and they deserve some say too. Well crap now I'm crying again....

I'm going to get back to work now so thanks for reading, thanks for your love and thanks for giving me somewhere to come at 5 in the morning when I feel most alone.

You are doing the hardest thing anyone has to do in life.

Peace.

It feels silly to have nothing to say but, "I'm sorry," but I really am.
Oh my, your strength is contagious. I like the one with the cat and the dog. Please keep us posted. 5am is tough. It is all difficult. Much love to you.
I cannot imagine how hard this was to open so early dear friend.
Please continue to write about this.
Lose the pain typing out the words.
It is a form to release it all and tears wash away the pain.
I wish I could hold you on my shoulder honey.
I truly do. But these words are all I got for ya.
And my best wishes. Now I cry too.
It may have made you cry, but you had the strength to see it through then write out your emotions.

Of course there will be tears over all sorts of things, but you are facing each challenge with courage.
You did what had to be done because you love your son. I'm sorry it's so hard!
I really hate to do anything at 5 a.m. except sleep....but there is no good way, no good time to select a gravestone....I have no idea how hard this must continue to be for you. I've talked to Marty about your son and we both send our best thoughts to you.
