He was born, her son, February 24. The only boy among girls. He was dead, her son, July 23. Two dates forever branded on her heart. Today, two days, she cries. When alone, she'll cry. - Alison I love you, Robby |

This hurts, dear Alison. The loss of a child is almost unbearable for a Mother's heart. Tears need to flow ... ((((Alison)))) Love, Margherita |

This hurts my heart  I've never experienced the loss of my own child but my brother lost a baby and I watched the loss tear him apart.  |

So very sad, Alison, but you honour his short life here with this poem and illicit much compassion for your mother. Love Helen |

It's hard to find celebration in the anniversaries of loss...but she will hold him again, one day. |

Thank you all. Each of your comments has touched me. My Mother is one of those "strong, upper lip" woman - know what I mean? She doesn't shed tears in front of others. But, I always think of her on these two days - and when I pop in to see her, she only has a smile on her face. That's my Mom. Again, my thanks and love to each of you. Alison |

Robby's time on earth was short-lived but his memory lives on forever in the hearts of those who loved him. Your poem is succinct but it certainly does evoke strong emotions in its readers. Love you, Linda |

Life. Death. How to understand? I'm sorry it happened. ~ 24 hours in a day ... 24 beers in a case .... Coincidence? ~ |

Paul, she is s strong lady. I admire her greatly. Thank you. Alison JerryPat, Some of us don't question why. There's no point. However, that does not make the sorrow and loss less. I am sorry too. Thank you for your thoughts. Alison |
