Hello old friends & welcome newcomers, sorry we have reason to be
here, but glad to have someone to talk to tonite. I'm just feeling
kinda down tonite, no particular reason though ( I mean today isn't an
anniversary or anything), just thinking about my Jenn & really missing
her company, her smile, I miss having another female around to talk
to, we had some interesting conversations. I am surrounded by males
(no offense guys) but all I have now is my husband, 2 sons, grandsons.
I love them all dearly but that sure makes me miss the times with my
daughter all that much more. Some days shes on my mind constantly, I
want to see her so much, have her here with me. I was looking at some
photos, she had such a pretty smile, beautiful long dark hair, & green
eyes, sort of like a cat that we have hanging around work. Sounds
weird, but the eyes are the same shade of green. I wonder if I'm
losing it sometimes, gets hard to concentrate on things, remember
things, get things done. But i guess I do have my, on the ball days
too, where all works out ok. Sometimes I can keep it all together,
other times well..........., I'm sure you all know what I mean. I
think about the rest of my life, being just like this, never seeing
her again, always the missing piece to my family puzzle, never to be
completed. Sorry for rambling, just a down evening for me,
random thoughts, no answers. Thanks for your patience & listening, &
being here, it helps. I remember once someone here, ( sorry for not
remembering who you are), mentioned writting a letter to their
deceased loved one, said it helped.Maybe I'll go try that, put things
on paper, it may help me too. I'll have all of you in my thoughts,
talk to you soon. Thanks again . Hugs for
all,
Pat

hi pat,

good to see you; sad to see you ... you know what i mean. you are so
right ... random thoughts and no answers. i think of you and jenn
often, especially when i see flowers and crosses on poles or along
side the road.

yesterday savannah turned 24 years old. it was another tough one, i
slept most of the day and night. that seems to be my escape now.

give your grandsons a kiss for me my friend,

donna

Hi Pat.

I know that feeling all too well. It scares me to think I will never
hear Scott again or hug him again, see his lovely smile or hear him
laugh! Sometimes I try and fool myself into believing he's away working
or on vacation, or just too busy too call. Silly isn't it! It was my job
to keep him safe from harm!

We all have down days Pat. ((hugs)) and best wishes.

Hi Donna,

Sometimes I can sleep all night and doze on and off throughout the day,
but just lately I can't sleep worth a damn. I seem to be clock watching
most of the night, then when I have to get up I drag myself out of bed
and through the day.
I don't know what to say Donna, I wished so much none of us had to be
here. I would like to say it gets easier, but I can't. I think the
numbness has just worn off.

((hugs)) and best wishes.

Pat:

So sorry you are feelings blue. I just don't think we ever get over
the loss of our children. Even after 2 years, I find myself thinking
"No it can't be that I will NEVER see him and talk to him again in
this life"! Time passes so slow, once our fear of death is gone and
we realize we will get to see our children in the afterlife. Pat, you
never ramble - we are always here for you! I wish you a gentle day!
