ReplyDeleteMy mind and my heart are numb with grief. I miss you so much my son, I cannot bear the pain. People say the pain will lessen, but I truly believe it never will.
I still see you in the yard looking at the trees and rosebushes, working out in your mind what needed to be done with them when you came home in the spring.
I see you at the foot of the stairwell as you are getting ready to drive to SeaTac and fly back to Stasya and your "boy,s". Remember my son, the last thing I said to you?, from a little book you bought me for Mother's Day quite a few years ago? The title: "Love you Forever" by Robert Munsch. Throughout this book, my most loving possession is a verse, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living my baby you'll be". That verse became the link between us, no matter what seperated us, when I said or thought of it, I felt closer to you.
You always, my precious son will be in my heart. From the moment I found out I was going to have a child, I have loved you. My heart melted and for the first and last time in my life, I fell in love.
My beautiful, selfless, sweet-hearted boy. Remember Sweetheart, you used to pick dandelions for me, as if they were rare beautiful roses, and of course to me, they were.
I will write more to you tomorrow my son, my life. My heart and my soul are screaming in pain and I must stop for now. I will love you forever my child, my beautiful gift from God. Goodnight my love, my sweet boy. I pray Jesus kisses and hugs you, until I can again, Love you Forever, Mom
Marilyn-
ReplyDeleteThis is Roze's daughter, Holly. I cannot imagine the pain in your heart. I sit here reading your posting with tears streaming down my face. I do not know what words could possibly comfort anyone in a time of sadness like this. Just know that you are in my thoughs and prayers. The Lord is the master comforter; the only one who knows what the plans are for our lives. May you find peace each day that passes knowing that one day you will be with your son again in perfect eternity.
God bless-
Love-
Holly Sablich
