My son Anthony Passed away in his sleep at the age of 25 years old On 12-21-2006.

This is the worst thing I have ever been through in my life. I have loss-ed my Father at the age of almost being 16 teen years old. And I do not have any of my grandparents.

But when it comes to lossing a child it is the worse thing ever. It feels like they ripped my heart open and pulled half his soul out of my heart and then they said deal with the pain.

Which I am dealing with the pain and it will be there for sometime. But I am doing better in some ways, but in others I am still trying. I do miss Anthony dearly and always will. And I take it a day at a time. But I would never want any other mother or father to go through this. Hugsss to you all.

                   My sons are the world to me

Why would God take one of them from me? I do not know the answer to that one, I wished I did. I wish God would have taken me, my son who he took had a long life to live and which my life is just about over with. He was only 25 yrs old and was married only 5 months when God took him. I know there was a reason, but still do not have the answer why. I do not think, I will get that answer till the day I pass away. I am not in no hurry to die, I have two other sons that need me as well. They do not live with me, well one does at the moment until he joins the Air Force which I think that is a good thing for him now. Since there is no jobs where we live. And my youngest will be getting married in March of 2010, I do not know why they picked that date and it really doesn't matter. What matter is that he is happy and that is what counts. Anthony will not be there, but he will be there in spirit, we can not see him but he will be there. I would love to hug him again. But I will just hug my other two sons more, tell them how much I love them every time i see them or talk to them on the phone.
