When I talk about my son....

You are right you know. As long as we live and love them so do they.       Love Ya   Diana

Quoting IL2Knit:

You are right you know. As long as we live and love them so do they.       Love Ya   Diana

It feels good too, doesn't it?  that our children live through our love for them and their love for life?  boy I miss my son!

I lost my daughter almost three years ago to a rare cancer.  I had to place her body to rest on her 11th Birthday.  I truly believe that she is still alive, my family tells me I need to let her go...I did on June 17, 2004, but forget her and stop talking about her, even though it is a memory, to me keeps her alive and not forgetten.  I don't have to forget her, but I do have to move on and wait for my time to join her again.  She was my angel when she was physically here and she still is my angel.  No one can take that away from me.

Oh how I agree with you... I will NEVER say I only have 3 children... I have FOUR and I will always have FOUR children... you cannot take them away from us... and they ARE in our lives... I will start doing what you are doing and see if it helps... I always stutter when I try to say "was"... it hurts...

Hi my name is Sandy and I am new to this group. I lost my youngest son in an auto accident in June of 2003. His name is Jared and he was 18 years old at the time he went to live in heaven and would be now be 23. I agree with you ; the fact that he is not physically here with us does not erase the fact that he is and always will be my son. I have 2 sons; one on earth and one in heaven.

I know exactly what your talking about. My son passed away when he was two months old almost two years ago now. To he "is" I never mention "was" its more of a need to know thing any ways.
