Gone too Soon

I haven't posted on this blog in months. My plan for the summer was to start posting new work. Instead I am in a state of shock and grief. My beautiful 21 year old son died in a motorcycle accident on June 10th. I can not even begin to tell you how hard it is just to get up every morning and face this reality. The world keeps on turning the birds keep on singing and my heart will never mend. We had the most amazing relationship. We talked almost everyday. I know that he loved me as much as I loved him. His sisters were his best friends. His smile was infectious and lit up the room. He was handsome and funny and so many people loved him. There is so much we take for granted and we never know when our lives will be shaken to the very core of who we are. There is no rewind button with death we don't get a do over. I long to hold and kiss him again, to tell him how proud I was of the man he was becoming.

    Michelle, I got goose bumps when I started reading your post. How tragic. You're right, there is "no do-over" with death. My heart feels your deep sorrow. If I could be there with you, I'd put my arms around you and let you cry. There is more living ahead of you and you will wake up one day and find yourself smiling once more. Hang on and it will eventually get better. Love, hugs and kisses,
    Rosemary

    I'm so sorry to hear about your son!! I was surprised to read this while visiting here. You posted on my post about my grandfather passing away a year ago. Your comment really helped me get through the tough time! My prayers and thoughts are with you!! Thank you for reminding me to take nothing for granted now and to appreciate the things I have at this moment!
