Hi Nichole hon
I have lost one.
I posted this to a friend on another board the other day when I was feeling blue. I may have also posted it on some other thread here as well.
I lost my son 8 years ago in a senseless automobile accident. He was 20 years old. He got hit by a truck while crossing the highway. He had been troubled over the loss of a girl friend. I have no way of knowing what was going through his head that night and what he had been doing that night.
I had 11 children go though my home over the years: a nephew and three nieces, my own three, two girls and the one I lost. I had one foster child who grew up to be a beautiful, hard- working young lady. My two daughters have done well for themselves, one is a child psychologist and the other is a manager of some chain of stores. I also had a friend who left her three children in my care for two years. That was 6 years ago.
Oh yes, I do know about the loss of a child and the empty nest syndrome, but yes, I am filled with many good memories and it is these memories that come to mind during holidies. The hardest part I suppose is the holidays.
