    Idamae, many things happen in this world that are senseless, its just the toss of the coin.This just happens to be one of them. We can try as we may to make sense but it won't, in time may the memeories bring you comfort and a smile as they flow. My deepest sympathies. "T"

    Please accept my deepest condolences on your most terrible loss,and for the grief your going thru & for your sons pain.

    The pain will pass in time,its unfortunate that it so happens it falls in a time of the year that you always cherished,dont let those thoughts stain your feelings of joy on your Bday,rather dwell on the good things/times tht did come however brief .
    hugssss

    I am so sorry Ida. For both you, and your son. They didn't get that chance. Damn. I know exactly how you feel, though. My ex died on August 11, 2001. We remained best friends, despite years of torturing one another in marriage. We were both drug addicts, but his addiction killed him. I guess God had other plans for me, seein' my life NOW. I am kind of grateful that we never had kids together, in some respects, and then I sometimes wish he were my son's father. He would've made a better dad, even with his addictions, than the sperm donor who split after the "deposit"...

    And then I think, why is it, that the good men, (albeit some problems) have to die, when there are other loser's walking around, screwing us over left and right, that should be the one's in the damn ground. I know that ain't
    very "christian" of me, but it's how I honestly feel.

    I'll say a prayer for you both, and your ex. Please don't let what has happened, ruin your birthday, like I did
    with another death, that happened to me on Christmas. God, or anybody else, wouldn't want that for you.

    I understand the saddness and even the anger. All I can say is I hope that you and your son will get through it and be the better for the experience. Losing a loved one is painful enough but to feel your sons loss seems unbearable. But somehow you both will get through it. I send my love to you both. Take care.

    There are some things we will never fully understand this side of heaven. This is something that helps me - Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7

    Life is full of quotes......(1) God doesn't give us more than we can handle. (2) One door closes and another one opens (3) Good things come to good people (4) Everything in life happens for a reason..............I will not use one of those quotes, because life can be tuff as hell, and I don't have Magic words that will make you feel happy right off. Life is easy when everything is going your way, and then something like this jumps out at ya. I think it's a test of ones strength. Just try to survive one day at a time, don't worry about tomorrow. One thing about People .....we all have the ability to bounce back. My life has been so UP and DOWN I can't tell which end is up.
    The one thing I DO KNOW is you have a hell of a support group here on Cycle Fish. Use it to it's fullest.

    We empathize most certainly lady. We know that when you're waiting for the next door to open, life in the hallway can be a nightmare. Hang tough.


    Peace
