Today marks one year anniversary of my precious son, Troy leaving this life.
I have planned a balloon release at his graveside and we are having a terrible
snowstorm.
I chuckle to myself, because Troy would think it is funny to watch me and whomever
else shows up to be tromping to his graveside in our big boots, all
bundled up.
This has been one heck of a year. I look back and do not know how I have made it
and arrived here from 365 days ago.
I know part of the reason I have arrived 365 days out, a big part of the reason,
is due to all you wonderful, caring, giving and supportive mothers on this website.
You and my Lord (even though I still get upset with Him at times, but my counselor
says, He already knows it, so I may as well be honest in my heart to Him and ask
to try not to be), have been the most, tremendous help that I could ever ask for.
I want to thank each and every single one of you for that support, love and kindness
you have given over the year. I don't know how I would have done it without you all.
You were my lifeline in the early morning hours when I couldn't sleep, when I came
home from a rough day at work, when I had to sign on to know that I wasnt alone
in this journey and that someone cared. I truly love all of you, even though I have
not physically met a one of you, I feel closer to you than physical people around me.
I love you, love, donna

I know how hard this day is. Chad's first angel date, was September 6th. A very difficult day for me. I feel the same as you about our wonderful Mom's here. Hopefully, I will meet them at the next retreat.
Hugs, Barbara

I will be thinking of you with special love and prayers on this day. I'm sure Troy is chuckling! For me, leaning into all the feelings that came in last July 13th was the only way that I got through it. I believe I felt every one that day. Be gentle with yourself today and in the days following and knowing that we are not alone has been a life line for me too. God bless you and hug you tightly today dear Donna. Your friend, Joanie

You are in my thoughts and prayers today, I don't know how we make either, but you are so right, faith and DS are the pillars of my healing process.

Dear Donna...I am with you today in spirit...you say what is in our hearts...how do we ever make it without our loves....how do we continue....our Lord who is our Savior and does know our sorrow and ANGER is the one who sends His angels to have charge over us...even in death..that transition to a new beginning. We are incomplete without His love, grace and mercy. I pray that you can lift up your eyes and know that behind that balloon trail is a mother's love ascending to the love of her son and the Father. I wish you peace. Love and hugs....Dale..Brandon's Mom

I am writing this late and I hope the day went well. That year of "firsts" is over and hopefully you can breathe a sigh. It will still be difficult some days, probably many days, but now you sort of know what to expect. You have been a great friend to us as well. We are all strong together. Love to you. Robin
