Melissa,...there is so much pain in this write of your loss and I, know it so well when my firstborn son died so long ago. The pain that we must endure as parents is unfathomable and even though time does tend to lessen the hurt...it truly never disappears. It surfaces when we least expect it as it floods our eyes and inundates our hearts with those gentle images of our flesh and blood in so many brief chapters that we cannot, wish nor dare let go. My heart is in sync with yours now that I know what tragedy you sufferred with the premature loss of your son and nothing I can say shall ever serve to soothe your heart and soul, but know this, I wish only to pray to the Creator for lessening that pain that courses within you and that you persevere through your faith and that you shall come to believe you will reunite with him in a new paradise when our time arrives.
Love,
Amor

Oh, my, oh my....how unspeakably painful...just unimaginable for those of us who haven't experienced it. May you somehow, someday, find healing, and peace. Words fail. Hugs and love.

Melissa,
My deepest and most heartfelt condolences for the loss of your son. The pain of losing a child is one that trumps all other pain. I, too, have never experienced this, so I can only emphasize, but that said, you have penned a beautiful tribute in your son's memory. I am sure he is proud of you and smiling on you, every day.

Best regards,
Jill

Beautiful tribute to your young son. I lost an infant baby girl twice in my life. Hardest pain I ever had to bear. Never thought that kind of pain existed. Sixteen is so young to go. I'm so glad that God has given you the strenght to write about your loss, and with such beauty. Writing, was a healing for me. It helps express what you feel inside, and that is so important. You are so right, he will never be forgotten. It's been years since I lost my babies; the hard pain has gone, but their memories are still with me. May God be with you.

Very sad, but comforting too to know that you can write about it and talk about it to his brother's and sisters. So many youngsters killed on motorcycles, I begin to dread seeing them on the road. I know my daughter Kathy 41 is a motocyclist along with her husband and when on the road I worry about her too. Each year they take a trip, this year was to Finger Lakes, NY. too far away for riding a motorcycle from PA. He is with you in spirit always but death is not final, he is up in heaven with God and the angels and doing great.
