Some people do not deal with their losses so graciously, but you, my dear, I applaud, for without these, we would never be able to share your pain with you. Hugging you with motherly arms... |

There is nothing worse than a child dying before a parent. It is not the natural order of life and brings such sorrow. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Special hugs for you this day...Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

Thanks so much for those thoughts, Marti... I need them more than you know. I am also waiting for the phone call with the results of my last biopsy right now.... so today is a double whammy for me. We went out and did some errands and it turns out that my urologist called at 2 PM...and she doesn't usually call until late in the day when she's finished with all of her surgeries. So now we are anxiously awaiting her call back, and I don't want to go to the cemetary until I hear from her first because I don't want to miss her again or I will be awake all night tonight... I am very nervous right now because I keep thinking that if the results were good, she could have left that on the answering machine and she didn't.  ~ hugs from a nervous mom in mourningLyra |

Thanks so much for your hugs, Sue... they help immensely... I'm also still waiting for my urologist to call with the results of my last biopsy and I'm very nervous about that... We went out for a while and I can't believe that she called at 2 PM....She never calls during the day... except of course, if we go out. ~ hugging you backLyra |

God gave to us His Cherubim To bless our trek on mortal shore. A golden heart and smiling face Bestowed on us eternal grace. An angel now at heaven's door ~ Bequeathed to Him our Seraphim. God Bless, Lyra |

What a beautiful Mother's cry to be heard by everyone who gets a chance to read it Lyra. He will be madly dusting off the cobwebs today, and that is what these anniversaries are for, getting in touch with your feelings, and the love felt. My heart is with you today on "two counts" and may you be guided on both. Huge hugs to you. |

I am deeply touched by this beautiful write of yours, Lyra. Such intimate memories do make one relive the happiness and sorrows of the past, but you've moved on so fine and with so much strength. *comforting hug* ~mycafe Keep counting your blessings |

I have no children of my own, so I can't possibly imagine what you must be going through. Your wonderful poem gave me insight as to how wonderfully your son affected your life, it seems you are a very caring and loving person too. Paul Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |

Sharon...thanks so much for sending me your heart, all the way from Vancouver. I can't believe I still haven't heard from Dr. Goodnews and it is 10:30 PM. I figure that she either thinks its not all that important or its so important that she needs lots of time to talk to me and Mondays are usually a very busy surgery day for her. In either case, I am not going to spend tomorrow sitting around and waiting for her call. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow, and if she can't catch me...then she will just have to send me an email or leave me a message. David thinks she wants to spend a lot of time talking me into having that miserable surgery....In that case, I just don't need to be here to get that call....right?  ~ hugs to you from deep in my heart...all the way from Kalamazoo to Vancouver Lyra |

Thank you so much for reading my poem, Paul and also for taking the time to reply to it. My son was a very special person... he was actually a very long story and I have written many poems about him. He was the only person ever to be admitted to the University of Michigan Medical School without an actual high school diploma. He got kicked out of high school and ended up getting a GED. I miss him terribly. ~ glistening wet tearsLyra |
