One year ago today my little brother was hit and killed by a car. It has been a very hard year for all of my family, we are just not the same dynamic. I've never known such heartache, I can't imagine ever losing a child and the pain my mother must be feeling. I pray for all those who have suffered the loss of a child. As for my mother, she is not doing to well. We are going to her house in about a half hour. All I can do is be by her side today, hold her hand and pray for strength and unrelenting faith.
My brother was such a great kid. He was so smart and touched many people with his words. He had depth way beyond his years. I miss him dearly. I can't wait for the day I see him again.
I leave you with a poem he wrote....
I sat one night upon a tree,
Just to see what I could see.
And what I saw was oh so great,
visions of stars and a moon so bright!
I saw in the moon a silver beauty,
shimmering hair and eyes straight white.
The Silver Moon Goddess, yes truly...
She gazed down upon me
and thus I fell from the tree.
A shimmering shroud of bright white light,
broke my fall then vanished from sight.
I gazed up at the moon again
and she was gone, as if she'd never been.

I am so sorry for your pain . . .
Sorry for your loss. BEAUTIFUL poem.
It has been 26 years since we lost my sister and it still hurts... we talk about her a lot and still tell stories that she is in. I think it is our way of keeping her alive and with us. I'm praying for you and your family! ((hugs))
Deanna, I am so sorry for your loss. I am praying for you and your family. All you can do for your mom is be there. I agree, I can't imagine ever loosing a child . . .
I wish I lived by you so I could give you a hug. Hope you made it though the day o.k. . . I wish there were something I could do or say that would take a little bit of the pain away from you and your family . . .
And, I LOVED the poem.
((HUGS))
