My beautiful boy

When I was 18 I had a baby boy.He turned in to a hefty and strong lad.He was walking at 7 months!! He was soo smart and white toe head of blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes.When my darling boy was 23 months old,he had a sister come along.He did not like the attention she was getting.Well the little sister became his best friends.Oh sure they'd argue,but they always worked it out. When my beautiful boy was 4 1\2 he came in the house and flopped on the sofa.He said I'm not playing anymore. He lost 10 lb.s in the first month. The doctors in a CHICAGO found the problem.He had Masto blastoma ........Its malignant.He has 16 months to live. In that time span,I was living a Night mare.Everyday I was 20 or so.Poor little sister couldn't figure out why big bro wouldn't play. They can tell you,time heals all pain.They are wrong. very wrong.I believe I've been living the blues every since we put my beautiful boy to lay to rest. It's the hardest thing a parent can do.Just be strong.Take one minute at a time. Blessed be to you and yours....1973 /1979. Until we meet again.

Thank you, My reason for this post was hoping it would get to a young lady that has a 3 1\2 year old that is ill.She posted a couple hours ago.I couldn't get thru to write her back.So keep your eyes opened. I just need to know how she's coping.Its scary by your self.She just wanted to talk to someone. Thanks xx

Feeling so deeply moved for your great loss Gold, especially as we both had our Sons aged 18 in 1973.💙 I can not begin to imagine what it is like to know the grief you've had in the loss of Your Beautiful Son .

My Daughter came along in 1977 and she is pure sunshine to me, today she's coming to take me to visit an old friend of mine on her Birthday...and I'm going to make a cake 😁...

Have a good weekend 🙌🍓🍒🍇🌸🌹🌼

Hugs huff xxx

Gold13 I know nothing that I could say will ever be enough to stop your pain even for a short time. You seem like such a wonderful & warm girl, reading your story is painful . Whats so great about you is that you want to reach out and help another mother who you know is in pain too. Sometimes giving like that to someone else eases your heart for a short time.

Your daughter is indeed lucky to have such a wonderful Mum

Love to you both *BIG HUG*
