Lyra, perhaps coming from you who have gone through this pain also.....it will help Larry in some small way to know he is not alone. Thank you for the repost. ~Hugs~ |

Thank you so much, faterider.... I can share my pain because I can feel his pain acutely....but of course everyone experiences it a bit differently, so I can't say that I know exactly how he feels. ~ crying my heart out hugs Lyra |

Thanks so much, Nancy...I hope so too! It is just about the most horrible thing in the world...to lose a child...especially so suddenly and unexpectedly. ~many hugs mixed in with the tears Lyra |

Lyra, i think that's a wise statement you made there..sometimes in our eagerness to comfort someone, we assume we understand all about his pain and agony..which we don't, of course... and i think it requires greater strength to show someone your pain than to tell him you understand...heart-hugs |

Thank you so much, Jeff...for your sympathy and your empathy for both myself and for Larry. Larry and I have become kindred spirits over something really awful that we share. The death of a child is probably the worst thing anyone can ever experience. Luckily for Larry, he has Nancy Lee and luckily for me, I have David. I simply cannot imagine going through something this horrible without someone close, with whom to share it. ~ hugs with tears Lyra |

Thank you so much, Saunni...I think "heartbreaking" is probably the correct word. There really is nothing which will break your heart, more than the death of one's child. ~ hugs and tears Lyra |

Thank you so much, Larry...I still have those shoes in my kitchen, even though I have moved to a new house. I think I will always have them in my kitchen. It would be really nice of you could find a momento...something which strongly reminds you of Ginger Michelle, and keep it always in a place where you will see it. I hope you are doing well...Please call me whenever it is convenient for you... ~ tears with lots of big hugs attached Lyra |
