[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1605380, member: 20599"] Hi Folks, I don't have much heart for internetting these days. We just passed the 9 month anniversary (what a term) of our son's death. It seems like it was yesterday. Time moves very oddly now. I have been so lucky to have a good hubby or I don't know how I would survive this. It is very odd how hard a parent's mind fights against losing a child. Sometimes I realize that subconsciously I am thinking : "if I can just hold on til he comes back..."--like he's overseas or something. I met a woman whose son died the same day as ours (both were only children and just months part in age). She was despairing over how to grasp that her son is permanently gone. Then I realized that all [b]I[/b] do is try to deal with the fact that he's gone [u]today.[/u] If by chance he happens to still be gone tomorrow, I'll deal with that then. Crazy to the "outside" world, but this is normal for a grieving parent. We have kept the cows---so far. Not looking forward to winter with them, but it was a good hay season at least. Take care of yourselves and don't pizz off Macon. Hug your loved ones and make peace with folks when you can. I read a saying that's stuck with me: We're all just walking each other home. [/QUOTE]
