lovelorne Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Since my 2nd husband passed, two of my three children has married. One of my girls is 51% done with her MBA. One of my twins was just accepted to a Doctor of Physical Therapy program. Both of the girls had a picture of their stepfather in a seat at their weddings. But he isn't here to tell them how proud (and I know how proud he would have been) that they are doing so well working towards their life goals. My autistic daughter is employed full time, loves her job, and loves her independence. I thought I had this all figured out (yeah right) but I cried tonight.

trying2breathe Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 It's bittersweet to experience those milestones without him - son graduated high school and is now an honor student in college, daughter graduates high school this spring. The kids are driving, dating, excited about future plans, thriving - he should be here. sigh ........ I so relate, always cry when thinking of the milestones.

Eddienhp Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I am 5 years out too. My kids are much younger; 10 and 7. It hurts when I see how much of him is in them knowing he can't see it. They were 5 and 2 when he passed. My 10 year old has autism/ADHD. The progress he has made has been a miracle. How I wish my husband was here to see it. He would be so thrilled. I am sure he would be proud of both of the kids. I wish I could see them interact with each other now that the kids personalities have developed. Sigh. We are in such a difficult spot aren't we? Sending you strength. Eileen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabzmom Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm hitting five years, too. There are many happy moments that bring me sadness no matter how happy. My DD is getting ready to graduate and while I am excited for her, I am having anxiety about what that day may hold. Blessings to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oneoftwo Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Our twins turned 23 today, I am crying. I am so proud of them, and so sad that I have no one to share my proudness with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
