Don,
Even though I was not active on the child loss site yet, I wanted you to know that I was also thinking of you and your family on Donnie's 3rd Angel date. I'm glad that your girls came over and that their presence helped get you thru the day.
I realize that I am fortunate to have two older daughters, I am grateful for both of them and love them so much. The love and support that they have given to my husband and I the past 10 months is beyond words, yet when they are both home it is painfully obvious to me who is missing.
I am working on this daily and I also am trying to be the best mom that I can be to both of my surviving daughters, even though my heart is broken and I yearn/ache for my son daily. I know that my girls hurt and have suffered the loss of their only brother, and I can not imagine their pain at times. Because it is too unsettling , disturbing and difficult for me to try to absorb what has even occured in our lives.
On July 29th, 2006, Our oldest daughter got married and our family celebrated a joyous occassion together with friends and family. Two weeks later, our son was killed. I don't understand it, It still doesn't make any sense to me, and I will always wonder "why?" I Know that while I am down here I will never fully understand, grasp or be able to comprehend any of it. yet I am searching,,,,,,,,,,,,
I just wanted you to know that My thoughts are with you and your family.
