Maybe this will help a passer by!

A friend shared this with me yesterday ~ Thank you friend!

Vonna,
My sister was cleaning out and she found this poem. It spoke to her heart so much and it really helped her out the other day.....considering Sean died in his sleep it made it feel like this poem was meant for her, I love it and wanted to share it with you!!!

Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear,
I opened my eyes and looked around,
But he did not appear.
He said, "Mom, you've got to listen,
You've got to understand,
God didn't take me from you, mom,
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that day,
The moment that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.

He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain.
My body was hurt so badly,
I could never be the same.

My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.

I love you all and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die.

And so, you must all go on now,
And live, and understand...
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand."

Sometimes ~

It's just hard, but you just have to keep moving, get up everyday, no matter what. Take a shower, take a bath, just get dressed ~ get through the day, even if it is minute by minute or second by second.
YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT!
YOU HAVE TO TELL YOURSELF YOU WILL!

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.
