As a mom, I cannot imagine what you are going through... I hope you are able to hold on to your memories of better days, and find at least a little comfort in them... I don't blame you if you can't, though. Cancer sucks.

Your post brings tears to me. My heart aches for you. Our sons (and daughters) are a mother's most precious gifts. We are so lucky to have had them in our lives. I never would have known this kind of love but for my blessings. Thinking of you....and praying for you and your sweet boy.

Katie's is the 21st of this month. The first time in 25 years I won't be doing something special with my little girl. I'm dreading the day, I wish I could take something that will make me sleep through it. How I miss her.... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Ah chixter our stories have so many parallels. Yeah I wish I could just sleep through this day. It started with tears it will end with tears. Our sweet babies are no longer with us and yes it hurts like nothing else.
Thank you everyone for your words and thoughts
