It’s sweet bittersweet to remember all the times you had together, knowing they have ended. Sending you hugs today.

Hi Jude,
A lovely post remembering your son on his Birthday. I am 40 years old also. I do not know how your son died, but I am very sorry for your loss. I just believe he is still watching over you. I would like to send you a friendship hug also. Take good care!

Hope you found some time to spend with that grandchild. Children somehow make a sad day brighter. My heart goes out to you.

What a beautiful poem, although it made me cry. I’m sure that 17 months flew in a way that consisted of many days that seemed to go on forever. As someone who will be 43 soon, I know that this is just too young to say goodbye, and as someone who almost lost my son, my heart aches for any mother who has lost a child at any age. Sending thoughts and prayers your way. Tina

Jude I’m so sorry for your pain on this day and the past 17 months. I can’t even imagine it. The poem is simply beautiful and I hope you enjoy the good memories today.

I’ll bet if you still yourself, you will hear from him again today as well. He hasn’t left you, Jude. I think he is with you every single day, sending his love in a different form.

I know this is still very difficult for you, pally. I wish I could send you a big hug and comfort to make it easier.

Nicely said. I feel very much the same in terms of remembering them in our hearts. It’s been a little shorter period of time for me since loosing Mom, 13 months; but we’re very much in the same boat. I continue to remember the good times. Just posted my O memory if you want to pop over and read it. Making my way through the alphabet and will continue to do. I’ve found it very cathartic to write about her.

Hugs
Sandy

What a beautiful tribute to your son, mine has been gone for 18 years he would have been 37 and I always fear people will not remember him, thus I’ll be thinking about your son.
