I was talking on the phone earlier to a friend and we started talking about my son that passed away in 2008..My FIL that has recently moved in with us begins telling me that I dont need people calling me and talking about my son b/c it only makes it harder for me to "forget" about it!
WTH!!!!I will never forget that I have a son that resides in Heaven!
This comment truly pisses me off and I feel like it was true disrespect and maybe i am blowing this a bit out of proportion but I can NOT believe that he said such a thing!
I am now absolutely heartbroken-I am also trying to find a way to remember him on his Birthday/Angel day which is something that my father in law will not be present for!
I dont know what to do or say at this point-this man is really testing my patience....

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...

Best of luck ~
Happy birth / Angel day to your little one!
God Bless all of you ~
He is getting to be so grouchy here lately and seriously(not making fun b/c there is nothing funny about it) I think the man is truly starting to lose his mind!
Im not sure if he was just looking out for you and meant , its not healthy for people to constantly call you and bring up painful memories, but the way it was said, definatly touched a nerve and was disrespectful.
You should explain that this baby is as much a part of your family, as anyone else. And ha he of lived to be 10, or 15 it would be no differnet. It is a signifcant loss and you will always remember your child, and the loss you feel.
For the girls angle day-- We bought a bunch of differnt shaped balloons like a butterfly, scoobe doo, things they loved, and tied them in with a few dozen helium baloons of their favorite color.
We all made small boxes and decorated them, really beautifuly and wrote notes to go in each of the boxes.
We then tied the all the balloons together and the notes to the end. And said a prayer as we released them at the cemetary.
It was such an emotional experience, but I felt so close to them that day. I will never forget how bad it hurt when watched them rise to the heaven and slowly dissapear into the horizion.
Whatever you do, make it special. Something positive you can look back on, and celebrate the precious gift of life that God gave you for 9 months, although it is hard to understand..
I tried to do something nice to tribute the girls. One of which was starting my own prayer group in their name.
I worked at a childrens hospital for a while after their deaths, and know that they are in desperate need of voulenteers to hold and feed babies who parents do not come to visit, or are crack babies.
I think it would be a wonderful tribute to do something in their name.
I will be thinking of you on your day.
I'm glad you stood up for yourself and talked to him about it. It may be hurtful to him to hear people talk about your baby, but YOU need to talk about him.
Healing prayers for honey,
Laurie
Someone please tell me what I can do?
Hummmm......maybe a dope slap up the back side of the head? : ) What about your husband? Can he speak to his dad?
Yes he has talked to him on several occasions and now it is a little better but still when my hubby isnt home..well ya know?
