My most favorite memories of My BRENT at Mother's Day was his first year at pre-school. He drew a heart and wrote "I love my mom, she is the best, so I give her, all the love in my chest" and the second year I got a Heart with "I love my Mom she is "purty" when she dresses to go to Church"....... Is that not the sweetest? I still have both of those hearts in a photograph book and still cry every time I see them, so I am not going to look at them for a while, I lost my Mom when I was 22, so Mom's Day is very bittersweet and emotional for me........Hope you all are holding up, you can lean on me and I will lean back and we will stand TOGETHER!!!!!!! Hugs and Prayers to everyone!

The cards are so sweet...I can NOT even imagine how you are feeling and dealing with the loss of your child...I want to say you have alot of strength, but I am pretty sure you feel at times as though you don\'t and kind of get sick of hearing about how strong you are...I know I do, because at times I don\'t feel strong. The Lord\'s strength has held you up I am sure...how devastating this has been for you. I, no matter how mad my 13 year old makes me at times, will PROMISE to never take her for granted ever again, and thank God that I still have her...I love her so much, and tell her so everyday whether or not she says it back, I know she loves me. Having a bit of a dilema with her now and she is so mad at me now, but I am sticking to my guns...I wrote about it in today\'s journal (10th). If I could, I would wrap my arms around you and hug you tight and let you know I care, but the hugs here will have to do. I will be with you in mind and soul on Mother\'s day...Love you, Kat....hope I didn\'t upset you, it was not my intention. ((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))
If I ever lost one of my kids my only hope would be to just be able to hold onto my sanity. I think from what I see and read on here about you, you have done very well dealing with something no mother should ever have to. You are much stronger then you think and are doing better then it may feel to you. I hope you find some memories that bring you some joy for mother\'s day. Take care and stay strong, like you are, love - John
Wow, that touched me very deeply! \"I love my mom, she is the best, so I give her, all the love in my chest\" Wow, I am at a loss for words.
He must have really loved you, huh? :`) It is difficult in these types of situations, but I am just going to fire away because I want to be honest with you. I think that you are so very strong and it is sad when people become bitter and not better through similar experiences. I have seen it happen to friends of mine. Some of them have become bitter and so hard that no one can break down the wall around them. It is so sad. They decide to quit living and die \"inside.\" I think that you are so brave (and actually you would probably like the song that is in my journal if you have not listened to it yet.) The song is inspirational to me. Friends like you are inspirational to me. You have been of great help to me and I just love you for it. Thank you. I know that I am blessed to have met you. LOTS N LOTS N LOTS of love, kaykay
That was very special. It is great you have such wonderful memories of your son.
