Hi Carol,

I have been thinking about you and Ross this week.  I know it's Ross's birthday tomorrow and his angelversary this Friday.  I just read your post and the poem your sister wrote and thought wow....how awesome that you have some great support from her.

Just wanted to send you some hugs!

(p.s. are we ever going to meet???  LOLOLOLOL)  How does June look for you?

Love you and Happy Birthday Ross!

Chy,

How brave you are!  Letting all your feelings out and not editing it!  I have such a hard time with writing down all that I am feeling, and usually I do edit mine if I ever post, which hasn't been that much lately.  I still come here every day though, and yes, this place probably saved me the first year after I lost my daughter.  I am very proud of everyone on this board, I think we help each other so much!

I am sorry you are going through all the things with your son.  I have gone through some tough things with my son too (no, he hasn't ever hit me), and I guess we do the best we can.

I just wanted to give you a cyber hug (((chy)))

Hugs,

Maureen, Traci's Mom

Happy 18th Birthday to Christian.  My daughter got her tatoo on her birthday (I didn't really want her to, but oh well)  I think we took her out for dinner too.

I now have that same tatoo that she got over my heart.

Many hugs for you today,

Maureen, Traci's Mom

Hi Lois,

I would love to meet you!  Are you coming for a visit soon?  It is amazing to meet people that have helped me through this new life we all have.

Child Loss / I met John and Bernice today!
« on: April 15, 2007, 07:21:33 PM »
Today I had the pleasure of meeting Danielle's parents, John and Bernice!  They are visiting AZ for the week and we got to meet and have a little visit.

We both got to talk about missing our precious daughters and all the things that go with being bereaved parents.  They were great and it was so nice to meet John, and I told him how much his postings have helped me.  I will be seeing them again this coming Friday and then they are heading home.

Our daughters both had the quality of loving kids, and I found that comforting when we were talking.

Here is a picture of the 3 of us:

Child Loss / Re: song I have not heard
« on: April 04, 2007, 07:27:47 PM »
Hi Karen

We had "To Where you are" by Josh Groban printed on Traci's Memorial bulletin.  I had never heard the song, but my sister Peggy is a huge Josh Groban fan.  On the airplane to Phoenix, she had her Ipod on and this song by Josh Groban came on and she immediately started crying.  When she got here, she played it for me, and I knew that I wanted that song on the bulletin.  Of course I cry every time I hear it.  Isn't it such a beautiful song?

Many hugs for you,

Maureen, Traci's Mom

Happy Birthday to Jay D!

My daughter Traci loved to dance!  We both loved the movie Grease.  She loved little kids and wanted to be an elementary teacher.  She was in a performing baton group for many years and loved to be in front of an audience.  She loved to have fun and had many friends.  Traci loved chicken fried steak, and strawberries.

Thanks for letting me share a little bit of my daughter Traci.

Hugs,

Maureen, Traci's Mom

I too like the idea of a book club.  I have read a lot of books that helped a little, but I am always open to new ones.

thanks,

Child Loss / Thank you my Friends...

Wednesday wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be.  Of course I did so much crying leading up to that day, that is probably why.

My sister Peggy had sent me a box in the mail, and when I opened it, I bawled my eyes out.  Well, not right away, because my son was standing there, and he just doesn't get it when I cry, so I waited until he left.  My sister had made a hardcover book with all these pictures of Traci throughout the years.  It is the most awesome present.  She had it done at Shutterfly.com    She also used the poem that a girl at my work had wrote for me after Traci passed.  I wish I could show you this awesome book, I just know you would want one of your child too.

I visited the Angel of Hope on Wednesday afternoon with my sister in law who also lost her son Joey in a car accident.  It was very peaceful and a very beautiful day here in Phoenix, and I felt Traci and Joey with us when the breeze was blowing.

Thanks for the nice comments and visiting Traci's website and lighting a candle in her memory, that meant so much to me.

Here is the poem:

A Tribute to a Mother

Have you ever seen the face
of a mother whos heart has
been torn in two?

Laughter sledom can be heard.
Pain embedded in her eyes.
If you listen closely you can
hear her whimpering each night.

Have you ever felt the hands
of a mother longing to hold her child.
Her body numb from all emotion
yet she still tries to smile.

Sorrow has overcome her
yet she fights to survive
her passion keeps her strong
she feels her daughter by her side

I can't help but tell you
that I wish I could take your pain away.
thoughts and prayers surround you
each and every day.

You are loved and respected
by so many people in deed
never will you have to worry
never will you have to need


Hugs, Maureen - Traci's Mom

Mona,

I did notice that we shared the same angel date for our daughters.  Thank you for the nice comment under my posting.  I will be thinking of both our daughters today and remembering nice memories for my Traci and hoping you have nice memories for Amber.

Child Loss / Missing Traci - 2 years
« on: March 06, 2007, 07:37:12 PM »
Not sure, but the first time I tried to post this it got lost?

Tomorrow will be 2 years since Traci's car accident.  Still finding it very unbelievable that 2 years have gone by since I have talked and laughed with my daughter.  I miss her and wish I could see what she would be doing right now.  She would be 21 this year, which is really hard to believe also.

Please visit Traci's site, I have added many many pictures to it recently.

Hugs, Maureen, Traci's Mom

Child Loss / Re: A YEAR HAS NOW PASSED
« on: February 19, 2007, 02:52:28 PM »
Dear John,

I am thinking of you and your family on this precious day of your daughters 1st year anniversary.

I was very moved by your letter, and of course I am sure it pertains to all of us.  I actually quit talking to my so called best friend after losing my daughter.  I still do not talk to her and it has been almost 2 years losing Traci (March 7, 2005).

I love seeing her smiling face every time you post.

Many hugs for you,

Maureen, Traci's Mom

Hi Nina,

I too lost my 18 year old daughter the same week that you did.  My daughter Traci died on march 7, 2005 in a motor vehicle accident.  She died at the scene, and I didn't get to see her until 4 days later at the funeral home.  I am probably sure you are like me and can't believe that it is almost 2 years for us.  I still don't understand it all and I can't believe I won't be celebrating her 21st birthday with her this year.  Please try to post a picture of her so we can see her.

Many hugs for you,

Maureen, Traci's Mom
