We haven't introduced ourselves for sometime and I see many new names here and thought if you'd like we could introduce ourselves for the new ones and get to know each other and our children, if any readers would like to join in please do so.
I have been married 36 years, we have two living daughters ages 35 and 30. We have two cats and a aquarium of fish, just had 11 babies a month ago which was exciting.
Chad son in heart lived with us for many years, both my son Chad and Chad2 died together in a car accident on May 10 of 1996. My newphew Cory took his life Jan 30 of 2002.
Both Chads loved golf, my son hoped to make it to Pro. Chad my birth son loved life in everyway and loved people. He played drums, guitar and sang, loved all music. He enjoyed playing any and all sports. Chad had no fear and would try anything and loved to be challenged. Chad reached out to many that were in need of help, he brought many kids home that needed a place to stay, Chad 2 came to our house at age 11 and became our son in heart almost immediately. Both Chads had a great sense of humor, it was such a joy to have them here as long as we did, you seldom seen one withou the other. They both had a sensitive heart to others, always lent a ear, or a hand. I miss them more than words can say, they were both age 21 when they died.
My nephew Cory was also like a son to me, every since he started walking and talking we were very close. Cory loved life and all people, he sadly didn't love himself. He was quite the entertainer also, all 3 boys were, they could make you laugh till you cried. Cory was bi polar and had many problems in life he couldn't get ahold of yet he was always there for me and others, when the Chad's died he spent many nights with me with tears falling he had a way to make me smile.
The boys are all missed and loved, I still shake my head in disbelief that they left so soon, yet know this is real and their memory and love does live on. Today I can celebrate their lives without that horrible pain of their deaths. I will always wonder what would be, I will always have my down times, all a part of keeping these boys close to my heart and the connection I feel we have today.
Life has been "moving on" never dreamt those first years it could. Chad, Chad and Cory are with me always. Two worlds I live in today, here and there. Always wishing it was different, yet know it is what it is and never will be.
they are forever loved and forever missed
