Ya'll should hike in the GA Mountains!!!!
Maureen... Love ya bunches and miss you more! Hugs and so happy you enjoyed the day with a fantastic group of fellow wids!
Lots of Hugs!
My son was eight when his Dad passed away. But he really only remembers his Dad "sick", since he was diagnosed with cancer when our son was only three years old.
We were talking the other day and it hurt my heart when he said, "I don't really remember him".
Eight years this September...and there are always so many things that I wish his Daddy was here for!
{{Hugs}} 7 years... it'll be 8 this September, and I still have bad days. My family will tell me "You need to let that go, do you have to go back to the past, and so on... more that I can write and more that ticks me off. Because they will never "get it".
A teenage son too that I know his Dad would have handled much better. He would have the right words to say and of course, we'd be a team raising him. I'm told I'm not an "only" or a single parent. I'm told my parents are right here and they help. Ohhh Kaayyyy.... no one has my back when I'm trying to get him to take out the trash, clean his room, needs a ride home or to work, help with homework, and so on.
Just sending you hugs and know that you are not alone!
{{{{HUGS}}} Maureen!
My Rant? I wish I had the words of a Dad when I need them! J is so much like his Dad and they would click in so many areas that I just don't.
Some days I'm the Dad with all the wrong words and then the Mom with even more wrong words...UGH, it's difficult sometimes!
Pam,
I am so heartbroken that you have to be a member of a group that none of us ever wanted to be a member of. You are a great friend, I am so sorry for you loss, but happy you have found your way here.
There is a great amount of support here, we all understand the road of grief and all the pain that goes with it.
Paul was a wonderful man, great husband and father. You make him proud everyday.
{{{Hugs}}}
