Missing You

By

Jon

One of the hardest parts is when you forget he’s gone, then you are re-shocked as you remember.

Like making way too much spaghetti or seeing his truck and thinking, "Oh good, Jon’s home."

Wondering if I should wake Jon for church Sunday.

On one of the thank you notes I included his signature.

And times of remembering what we have lost. Going to a restaurant and remembering last time we were here we sat on the other side and we were a family of 4. A family of 3 seems so small. And that my sister’s new baby is never going to know her cousin Jonathan. We won’t get to take him to see Kung Fu Panda 2.

Missing you my sweet son!

    I’m so sorry for your loss.

    I recognise a lot of your feelings. I lost my brother (he was 19) 4 years ago. There’s always someone missing. And one of the hardest things is that my 3 year old son never met him. It’s hard to learn to live life in a different way.

    You’re in my thoughts and prayers.

  4. Oh beth, that is so terrible.

    I remember with my granny, I’d think that I want to phone her to tell her something and… she was gone.

    I get it.

    What a beautiful heartfelt cry of a mother. My deepest sympathies for you and your family. Praying that God holds you tight and that you can hear Him singing over you during this difficult time.

  6. Trece says:

    You are in my prayers. I cannot imagine how devastated you are – parents are not supposed to outlive their children. i ache for you. Losing one of my children would probably kill me, despite my faith. (((((hugs))))).

    I do not remember how I found your blog, but I frequent it and have benefited from it over the months that I have ‘known’ you.

    My heart goes out to you and your family. Please know that so very many good people are praying for you, and that God knows you and loves you. He has Jon in his ample arms.

    Thank you for your strength and wisdom! I know that through this it will be even magnified.

    Praying for God to hold you close, may you feel His comfort and strength carrying you and your family.

    so, so, so, sad. I don’t know you or your family, but I read these posts and cry. I am so sorry for your loss.

  11. Jennyff says:

    Am still thinking of you and hoping that you are finding strength to cope during this sad time.

  12. Patty says:

    I just found your blog. This post moved me to tears. As a mother my heart hurts for you.

  13. Judi says:

    My heart breaks for you. While I experienced these incidents following the death of my father, the loss of a child must be pain beyond compare. God bless you every day, every moment. Thank you for reaching out to others even in the midst of your own unbearable grief. The photo of your son shows a kind and gentle face; comments from his friends and family portray a very special young man.

    My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family.
    ((((HUGS))))
