Today is 1yr that my sister lost her 13yr old son to errant gun fire. My Sister her Husband, children and our family are changed forever. My sister has said "people just don't understand my grieving, days you just can't get up or even speak for long periods of time". I thank God that he has kept her through the storm and not to be Bitter but to be Better. Your poem touched me, Thank you Carolyn, and may God continue to sustain you.

The 3 year anniversary of my son's death is March 27, 2012. As I was searching for a poem to share with Hunter's picture in the paper I came across your poem...it brought me to tears. I felt like it was Hunter I was reading about. He to was brown hair and blue eyes, and brought so many other kids to God thru his death. The loss of a child is like no other pain a person can feel, so for that I deeply thank you for sharing your poem.

Just read your poem my son Patrick Daniel was 27 years old when he was taken suddenly from me and I cannot get over it. You think you're alright one minute and the next your head and heart are so sore you don't want to go on. It's only 18 months since my son passed I miss him more than words can say. I look at the sky every night and I say he is the brightest star that ever shone and he is watching over me till we meet again.

I was looking for poem today when I notice yours. My Son Duane 22 was taken away from me on 5/13/2011 and his death is still a mystery. He was a Marine stationed in Japan. On a night when there was a typhoon warning, they said he went swimming, but when his body washed up he was in pajamas. I will Never forget him please pray for revelation.

On July 20th 2012 My son left to go to a rehearsal for his friends wedding. He said mom I'm going. My son never leaves the house with out a kiss or one of his bear hugs. This day I got none. I had a bad feeling about this so I got up from my chair and watch him go down the stairs. This was the last time I saw him alive.
My son was 31 years old and suffered from depression.
11:05 the door bell rang and my HEART sank. It was the groom and one of my sons friends- who happen to be a police officer, I knew then that something had happened. The DEPRESSION that had a hold of him had taken his LIFE. My only child GONE. I'll never hear that beautiful laughter or one of his corny jokes or that luminated SMILE or the sound of him saying " LUCY I'M HOME". He loved the Lucy show. The one thing I'll always have are the beautiful stories I heard from so many people. Thank you for the stories they will forever be imbedded in my HEART.

A CHILDLESS MOTHER

I read poems sometime they make me cry. My son Corbin 33 yrs was killed by a drunk driver on May 17, 2010 (841 days). I saw him last on Mother's Day with a big bear hug a peck on the cheek and I love you, mom before he left. I am alone as he was my only child, I am a healthcare provider and have spent my life caring for others, but I was not there in that corn field to hold him as he took his last breath. The pain has not eased, but yes life goes on. Everyday I get up to go to work hoping at least that my shoes match because my son would expect no less. I wait for the time we will be together again, sooner than later if there is a God. Thank you for your poem.

Chris, only 16, our only child, was killed by a drunk driver, while he was riding his bike, coming home. That day he had stayed home from school, cause I remember just the day, before, he had hit Honor Roll, we were excited, and so proud of him, he had this big smile on his face, that day. No, matter what time, in day it was, Chris, always gave me a hug, always hearing, those word's, mom I
love you and a kiss on the cheek. Oh, how I miss him, he didn't even make it to his graduation.
Chris, you are always in my heart and I love you.

Today is the 1 year anniversary of my 24 year old son's death. He was killed in a tragic car accident on Feb. 13, 2012 in Charlotte, NC from what we believe a seizure. He was a Angel to all, he had the biggest smile anyone will tell you that and the biggest heart no matter how he felt he would put his feelings aside just to bring some happiness to others and put a smile on their face. I have been told by so many my son accomplished more in his 24 years on earth than most do in a lifetime. I miss him with all my heart and soul, my grief just wont stop no matter how much help I seek. The only thing that gets me through the day is the fact that I will see him again soon! The lose of a child for a parent is one that God himself knows all too well that being said he promises us eternity when we leave this world so we never have to endure that pain again. I thank God for giving me 24 years with my son so I could love him and know death is just the beginning of eternity!

My sister Marcy lost her 21 year old son on the 4th of July 2012 in a terrible car accident, she has forgiven the young man who was his best friend since childhood & even was in his favor for his court date the young man got 12 months with good behavior because of her knowing her son would want that. My sister is forever changed, her husband decided to leave this world 6 years ago, we will never know why or what made him want to leave, he was so loved but troubled at the end. I just wish I could help my sister, I can't find the right words to help her...I just don't want my beautiful, caring, sad sister to keep fading away. I Love You Marcy, always & forever your sister Marlene XO XO
