I am sorry I drug you all into my nightmare come true on my last post. Sometimes I just have to write it down. Lauren died at such a young age, leaving very little evidence she ever existed, and I just don't want anyone to ever forget her. My mother had a sister who died at seventeen and I don't recall anyone ever mentioning her. They never talked about her personality or what she looked like or anything. I always thought that was really sad.

Shelia,
ReplyDeletePlease don't ever feel like you need to apologize for mentioning Lauren. She was and still is to this day very much part of you. I totally understand, even though we had Michael for one short year, he is still very much part of my ever waking moment. There is not a single day that I do not think of him and what he would have been like all grown up. I choose to keep his memory alive and we have always talked about him, to the point that my two youngest felt like they knew him. My sister also died at a young age (14). I was only 17 when she died and it tore my world up! There is never a day that I don't wish that I had her back. I envy those that have sisters and that sisterly bond that is lost for me forever. But...I take great comfort in the arms of Jesus and he has provided me with a loving family, physically and spiritually. He has also gifted me with numerous girlfriends that I could call "sister". I just wanted to let you know that there are those of us out here that understand your pain and loss and that I am here for you! ~Brenda Huckabee
Sheila,
ReplyDeleteNever be sorry for expressing what you are feeling and who you are. We love you. I pray for your and Jon's loss of a beautiful, fun-loving, life-giving daughter. I deal and have dealt with feelings like Brenda when we lost a baby I was carrying at 4 months along. Ron & I still talk about the fact that Sara & Michael would have had a brother or sister 1 year younger than Michael and I would have had the baby right about this time. Michael would have been 1 on June 26th and I was due almost to the day of his bday. I never even held this child and have experienced loss - I can't even imagine losing an adult child or a 1 year old as Brenda that I've know and held! Always know that we are here for you and we love you guys!
