Alek's 3 year Angel Date is Sunday

[Marianne]

This Sunday will be three years.  I am numb.  My husband is away on business so my girl friends are coming over to spend the night Saturday night.  I will be spending the day Sunday with my sisters and my mom.

I am crushed.  I am so lonely without Alek.  Three hours was such a long time to not hear from him - I never thought I would be waiting three years and counting.

I am so sad.  I have been putting up a pretty good front - but... I just am so tired now.

I am thinking of you all and wishing you peace.

Love Deb

((((Marianne))))

I wish I could be there with you. I will be thinking of you and saying Alek's name out loud on Sunday. Josh's candle will be lit and I hope you will feel the thoughts & support of everyone here.

I hope Alek sends you a sign to let you know that he is always near.

Love,
Dena, Josh's Mom

You know Marianne it is just ok to feel sad and lonely without Alex.  I hope you will be able to just show those emotions and let them come out.  I also hope that you and your friends/family will be able to share some wonderful memories and hopefully a few laughs and giggles are probably some of the silly and loving things Alex would do.  Maybe you might even hear a great new story.

Just know my thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope that you feel Alex's love surrounding you.

Hugs,
Jeanne
Philip's mom forever

I know how hard these days are, they feel impossible. 

May Alek send you a sign to let you know he is with you and of course, send his kiss on the breeze.

Marianne,  I am thinking of you and Alek today, tonight and especially tomorrow.  I hope your friends and family are as supportive as you need them to be.  Three years.  I'm so sorry there is time and space between you and Alek.  And yet he is with you.  Always. 

Sending strength to get through the day.

Wendy, Keith's mom

mariane I pray your friends bring you cheer and Alek plays the music as you slumber this night dreaming sweet moments of time.

[Dottie (Tammie's Mom)]

Dearest Marianne,

Please know you and your Sweet Alek are in my thoughts and prayers.  As you know we are so close on our time frame for our Angels, I just passed 3 years and YES it is still unbelievable at times. Tammie was also my only child as your Alek was yours. I sure understand that alone feeling, even when your with others. There just is NO BOND like Mother and Child. You have some wonderful friends.

BIG HUGS to you Marianne,
Dottie Tammie's Mom

Dear Marianne,

I am holding you and Alek close to my heart tonight. It will be four years for me on Thursday. This pain is too great for words . . .

Love,
Kathy-Don's Mom

[Marianne]

THANK YOU Everyone!  I know you'll understand... today was harder than yesterday!  I had friends and family with me all weekend.  When ever I felt like I was going to break down, the feeling passed as soon as it came.  It was strange.  Almost like Alek was there with his arms around me saying - you can do it Mom - it's going to be okay.

But today... alone and sad again.  I slept most of the day - but, that's okay.  I have learned in these three years to allow myself the time I need to get through what I need to.

Bless you all for your kind words.

All my LOVE!

My thoughts are with you surrounding Alek's 3 year date. Understanding why you're numb and why you are crushed.  I'm so glad that your girl friends were with you on Saturday and that you were with family on Sunday.
No doubt that Alek was there with you with his arms wrapped around you saying  you can do it Mom- it's going to be okay.
My thoughts continue to be with you Marianne-  understanding why this day is tough for you as well.
one minute, one moment, one day at a time.

Sending moments of peace and comfort,

Wadesmom
