nice to know
once upon a time, i never thought that something as wonderful as the day my son was born could make me so sad or fill me with such panic. saturday is my oldest sons birthday and he would be fourteen. almost impossible to believe. i know this will be a very hard day for me. and even harder to know that people around me do not get it. it is nice to know that the women here understand. thanks for your support. michele |

Re: nice to know
Good Morning Girl, Yes, it will be hard, but this too you will get through and you don't let anyone make it worse by not getting it. I've learned to just shut um out. This day is full of your memories and that's their loss. You take the day to reflect on your life with him and just laugh and cry all you want. Your memories are a treasure that is your gift on his birthday. I'll be thinking of you and Praying that you get through one more special day. Karren |

Re: nice to know
Dear Michele, Karren is right, and if you would like to share memories or anecdotes of your son, WE wuld love to hear them and share in them with you. I know that his birthday will be both heartbreaking and heartwarming. That's the way they seem to be. Praise be to God that you were given this special child (and his brother) and that you will again be reunited in Heaven, just think of all he'll have to tell you! Love, Lorre |

Re: nice to know
Hi Michele: I have been thinking about you and praying for you knowing Jon's birthday is tommorrow. As Karren and Lorre said, tommorrow should be a day for reflecting on the good memories of the time you had with Jon and thankfulness that God called you worthy to be Jon and Eric's mother if only for a short time. Don't worry about the people that don't get it because sadly they will never understand what you are going through unless they have lost a child to murder. The blessing is that now you have a place where you can go and know that we understand and we ALL 'get it". In my heart, I think that when you are reunited with Jon and Eric they will still be the same age they were when you last saw them (that goes for Myles and Reese) because i just feel that a loving God would not deprive you of watching your babies grow up but this time it will be a perfect world and there is nothing that will ever separate you again. I think Lorre has a wonderful idea. If you have the energy, we would love to hear a memory or a anedote of Jon but if you don't have the strength, remember we understand. God Bless You Love Tracey |

Re: nice to know
thank you all for your encouragement. others try but hit the mark. i know their intentions are good but they are not even close. i appreciate your thoughts and concerns. and yes i love talking about my boys. that is one thing that is not stressful or emotionally draining for me. i love to share with others the wonderful memories i have of them. i am sad for the loss of my sons. but after six years, i do not obsess over the details of the murders anymore. now my thoughts of them are mostly good memories of their lives. i know for so long all i was consumed with was every why and how of the murders. how it happened exactly; did they suffer; what if...now the thoughts of them that consume me are the fears that i will forget every detail of their lives. what their voices sound like and things like that. mostly happy memories fill my mind these days (except for the obvious heart-ache of missing them). i do remember jonny was a born comedian-he always made everyone laugh. one day i came in to find him watching BAYWATCH. needless to say he was only three and already a boob man!! around the same age- there were commercials for a local basketball tournament called the gus macker tournament that repeatedly played on tv. he announced to me one day that he wanted to go to the ass smacker tournament. the cute part is that he never knew how funny he could be. my sweet baby. i sure do miss him. |
