From: JRK on 3 Apr 2007 22:37 Tomorrow will be the second anniversary of our son. Justin would be almost 21 now and would have been married for 10 months. My wife and youngest son are staying home tomorrow, I have to work. Several of Justin's friends from school and scouts are coming over, some of them to spend the whole day with our family. It still seems like yesterday that it happened. I still talk to him. And sometimes I just sit at his grave and tell him all that is going on. Last Saturday was a hard day for me. Our family was part of a Native American dance crew through scouts. And last Saturday night was a pow wow. Justin loved to dance to this music. So now when we dress in our outfits I wear a button with a picture of him that his fianc� had made. It make me feel like I am closer to him. and helps people remember just how short life can be. I guess I just wanted to "talk" for a while, some to remind me that I am not alone in this. And maybe to let someone else know that they are not alone. This is a great group. It has helped me alot over the last 2 years. JK Justin's Dad

You are definitely not alone here, glad you wrote. Your family is in my thoughts Bob

I haven't reached the second year yet just past the 15 months mark. I don't know what made look yesterday but I looked on the website of the taekwondo school Scott attended (he was a black belt)I was hoping to see some pictures of him, but not really expecting too, so when I found a memorial to him it made me cry. I went back several times to look at it throughout the day, by the end of the day it made me smile a little. You are right JK, this is a great group, but I wish none of us needed to be here. Best wishes and ((hugs)) Caz. Scott's mom

I've got an anniversary of sorts in two days. Mom died on Jan. 6th, so it'll be 90 short, but loooooong days. And... it hurts like hell. Dammit, it hurts like hell. Hang in there, and when you dance? Dance harder, faster and longer for Justin. He'll like that. ;'o) -- �.��� �)) -:�:- �.�� .����)) Laurie ((��.�� ..�� -:�:- ((�� �.� *~*LiveLoveLaugh*~* All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. ~Abraham Lincoln

Her birthday was on March 26. She missed opening presents, cake and ice cream, and sharing that very special day with her family. Her not being with us was hard on the heart! Benjamin |
