4 Sean ~ A friend's Nephew ~

A fellow glass beadmaker sent me an email the other day telling me about her sister, as her sister's situation is very similar to mine. Her son, like Jonathan was a wonderful smart, intellegent young adult who succumed to this sickness we call addition.

His short life ended at the age of 23 from Alchol poisoning.

I am grateful she emailed me, I was hesitant to call at first, but anyone really knows who I am I am not a shy woman. I am really not afraid to talk to a stranger, nor to tell it like it is.

I have spoken to other women on the phone who have lost children. I have found that with each and every conversation both parties came out winners. Although, I cannot feel the same feelings as the other women, nor can they feel the same feelings I feel about my child.

What we do have is a common bond, we have each lost a part of our soul. That feeling will never change, that feeling will never go away for any mother.

I did call her, we connected, we both cried, we both laughed & we were able to help each other.

I was going to post today all about what happened to me yesterday. I will share my feelings later. I find this more important right now.

We all have our demon's that we struggle with ~ my friend wants to simlply purchase a headstone to honor her nephew. I encourage you to click on this link to find out more about Sean & if you can please help.

Don't forget to sign the petition either. Thank you.

Sunday -

It's a sunny day today and for that I am grateful -

I have met a few new people in my life that share the same experience of grieving the loss of a child. I truly believe in my heart that no matter the circumstance in which you child has passed - whether i be accidental, suicide - or even homicide we all share a common bond. We all can help each other move to the next level, remember our children, and live our life as they would want us to -

I don't have to accept the fact now that my Jon is gone, I only have to learn to live with that fact.

He will always be with me, watch over me, and take care of me just in a different way that's all.

I wish you all who read this a "Sunny Happy Day"
