My son Aaron. It's almost been a year, and I talk to him every day. I still can't bring myself to give anything of his away. I miss him so much, it's like a gaping hole in my heart.
It's always painful to lose a child. And you're never quite prepared for it, even when you know it's coming. It's so heartbreaking when your relative asks you to be at their bedside when they pass. You don't want them to go, but they are suffering so much. They know they are going to a better place: no more pain or suffering for them. We have been blessed with the time we had with them. But it never seems long enough, no matter what age they were.
I lost my best friend to cancer. I took her to the hospital, and was by her side right up until the end. It's been over seven years, and it still feels like yesterday. I guess no death ever leaves us the same person we were before...
You're right, we are forever changed when we lose a loved one. I'm so glad you were with your best friend and was able to comfort her up until the end. I'm sure you are the one person she wanted at her bedside at that time.
I feel your pain, and it takes a long time, but it WILL get easier. Mine was 15 mos. old when he died 45 yrs ago. And I still cry for him at times, but I know he is happy where he is in Heaven. And that makes me feel better.
I hope so! I always think of the pain that he was in, and know that he wasn't meant to live that long, but for some reason my heart won't accept it. It seems like his brothers are coming to term with his passing a lot faster than I am, or maybe I'm just hoping they are.
I'm so sorry you lost your child when he was only 15 months old. That's really hard to take. Your son, GirlyGirl's son and my nephew are all in Heaven now.
My grandmother. The sweetest, kindest woman ever. She always gave me 2 dollars every day and thing is, I didn't do anything to deserve it. That's just the way she was. Unlike grandpa, who was the complete opposite of grandma. I comb my hair 25 times on the top, back and sides like she told me to in memory of her.
My family members have a well deserved vacation with death after living so I would pick Martin Luther King or Robert Kennedy. I would enjoy seeing these two great men at President's Obama's side ;)
PFFT MLK would bend little boy barack over his knee and give him the whoopin' of his life and then send his arse back to Kenya. Ding dong, King Jr. was a Republican and far from a socialist/communist; he was the complete opposite. love how you all try to claim him as your own. pretty damn racist of you liberals. No way in any realm would MLK step foot on the democratic plantation. He was against slavery.
I have yet to see you debate anyone on this site. If you were to make sense to begin with you would no doubt find a debate. Till then just keep making non-sensible comments then ask for proof of what does not exist to begin with. I so look forward to your next intellectual reply :/
Are you talking about just here on SH, in America or around the world? Put up or button up? You sound like a potential rapist. I'll bet you say that to all the girls :/
I love my family, I really do!!! But in this case I would pick Michael Jackson, the sole inspiration for my life at the moment, besides Jesus Christ!!!
Technically he's my step-grandfather, and I call him my Uncle Dave, but he's who I'd have to pick. I didn't get a chance to visit him once in the hospital while he was sick, and I never got to say goodbye either.
My Dad was a great man and he died when my son was only 3 years old. Being an only child I know how much he would have loved to pass his skills on to a son grandson. I would give anything for him to see what a fine man he has become. He has the same skills as his grandfather and can make anything work. He has an international company that his electronic skills have made in to a cutting edge company in 3D Production. He can take anything apart and make it work or work better. He is a good father and a good husband who shares household responsibilities with his wife. He is the man his grandfather would have hoped for and this is the son he never had.
I would bring back Jesus Christ. Then I would make Jesus Christ bring back JOhn Lennon, Freddie Mercury, 2pac, Darth Vader, Charlie Chaplin, Dimebag, and all those other celebrities that people cried about. Then i would take over the world with a Rock n roll Zombie Apocalypse. The End.
