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.

Just some correspondence I received ~

Don't you ever hesitate to tell people what you need, because you have lots of friends and family who are more than willing to help you take the steps you need to get through the day. Walking in your shoes would be the be the most gut-wrenching pain that a mother could go through... pain that you should not feel isolated in dealing with. I love you, V ~ and I know lots of other people do, too!!!

I'm glad to see that you've been working on beads/jewelry stuff again. Your stuff is fabulous as always... I always think it shows a piece of you -- kinda like when you look at a painting from a famous artist and wonder what was going through their mind. I look at your jewelry and beads and its almost like a glimpse into your life at that moment in time... :) Scary, huh?!!! LOL!!!
But, really... you know what I mean. Your stuff has feeling behind it... not just the same thing cranked out over and over.

Anyway, I hope you are having a good day!

U know what I do with these email's -
I take a deep breath in read & and accept the kind wonderful words I am reading.
