Twenty-eight years ago.....

I gave birth to my second child, our only son, Rob. For those of you who don't know, he died this past summer. Tomorrow will be a sad day for Carl, me, Amy (Cincy'mom), her husband, Ralph, Christy (Dakota's mommy), her husband Brian and Jasmine, her daughter.

He has such a silly little boy, always talking and being silly. He grew into a quiet, shy, very smart teenager and then into a handsome, beautiful young man. We still don't know what happened, why he died when he did. We only know we will miss him every day the rest of our lives.

Happy Birthday, Rob!! We miss you and love you. Mom & Dad

(PLease keep us in prayer tomorrow!)

My thoughts are with you {{{HUGS}}}

{{{HUGS}} and loving thoughts being sent your family's way today Diana.

My thought are with you. I too, lost a son when he was 17 years old. His cause of death was unknown and that was the hardest part. He hadn't been well for 2 years prior to his death and I kept taking him to the doctor and she kept telling me he was doing it for attention and I knew he wasn't. Test after test came up with nothing... Then he died.... still don't know why. So, I know your pain. He would have been 40 last December 22.

You all will be in my thoughts.

I can not imagine the pain of losing a child. I'm so sorry. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. {{{Hugs}}}

That is a beautiful thought, Gini.

Sending thoughts and prayers and {{{hugs}}} to the whole family today. :(

I wish peace for all your family.....

My heart goes out to you and your family. Unfortunately, I know all too well the pain you are going through, not of losing a child, but losing a beloved family member so suddenly and tragically.

May God keep you close and help you celebrate Rob's life and not his death.

((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))

Our prayers are with you.

Thinking of you.

You and your family will be in my thoughts.

To all Parents

"I'll lend you for a while a child of mine," He said.
"For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief."

"I cannot promise he will stay; since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in My search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love, not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call to take him back again?"

"I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay;
But should the angels call for him much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand!"

-Edgar Guest

my thought are going to you too! Losing a child never heals :( ! My parents lost their first child, a boy too, when he was only 3. It is almost 60 years ago now, but I know it still hurts so much! I have the same thought as Gini!
My little brother is now the gardian Angel of my family! So is your beloved son Rob!
