Scott, we stopped and visited Evan on our way to BR yesterday before the tournament. Several of my guys said they feel his influence- you are always welcome to come see the Bulldogs!
Thanks Todd, I greatly appreciate it. That means so much that you stopped on the way yesterday. God Bless and good luck this season.
Thank you for your inspirational blog. May God bless you and your family.
Thank you Mrs. Pat. I appreciate it. I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless.
We, too, lost a son… Adam Lee, age 32, 01/12/81 – 03/14/13. Adam was our only child. Only just recently , my sister asked me: “How long did it take you to get over Adam’s death?” I opened up the cabinet, where I have a quote posted that I cut out from a newspaper headline. It reads: ‘IT’S SURVIVAL. IT NEVER GETS EASIER.’ Sometime, that is exactly how it seems… Then, I told her a quote my neighbor told me ( whose son died 14 years ago), “IT DOESN’T GET EASIER. IT JUST GETS DIFFERENT. ” And, sometimes, that is exactly how it seems… Our son died of a drug overdose. Writing my experiences, in a once-a-year letter to family and friends, has helped me. However, my beloved husband of 42 years, has been non-committal in his opinion of this. ( I truthfully don’t know if he has even read my letters. ) What has been more of a help to me, has been my 2 unofficial “support” groups, of women who have also lost children. A few months ago, 4 of us, who have lost children to overdosing, met and talked. That was MOST HELPFUL & I pray this group doesn’t fizzle out. I would like to stay in-touch and perhaps help one another to heal… Blessings and thanks! Donna +JMJ+
Thank you for sharing your story with me Donna. Your quotes are spot on. It is survival. It is different. It doesn’t get easier. I also have friends who have loss children and I enjoy every bit of prayers, conversations, and hugs that I receive from them when I see them. I am blessed to live in a small community with strong faith based values. The support from everyone around over the past 20 months has been overwhelming. I thank God every day for that luxury, because I may be totally different today were it not for their support. I would definitely love to stay in touch. God Bless and will keep you in my prayers.
