It's late at night when the tears secretly fall or when I'm alone....Tonight my mind remembers that little boy I babysat as a toddler...playing peek-a-boo and patty cake...hugs and kisses....Oh, how I wish we could go back in time....just one month ago....when life made sense....because it doesn't make any sense now....We try to wrap our minds around all of this and we can't....I spent many times this week just crying at my sewing machine thinking of him because my mind would wonder....just me alone with my thoughts and memories of him..........................

Susannah said...

Jenn...Your thoughts and memories are welcomed anytime you wish. I know it is hard to feel better. It will be awhile. I was wondering how you Brother and sister in law are doing, and your Mom and Dad. I pray for your family every night. This has been a terrible shock. Try to take each day at a time. Remember.... the Lord is carrying you right now.

Sincere good wishes,
Susannah

Jen,
It' so hard to make sense of these types of things. Death in itself is hard but to loose such a young man is truely devistating. I wish there were words to be said that would soothe your tattered soul. Just know that as you grieve, we'll all be here to listen and do our best to lift you up and soothe you the best we can.
I'll continue to pray for you and your family as well as be here to listen when you need to voice your thoughts......
Hugs and prayers,
Tisha

{{{Jennifer}}} Just read everything that happened and my heart just breaks for you and your family. You will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers. My Grandmother passed away 10 years ago and I still miss her and sometimes cry when I think of her.

My thoughts are with you and your family. I can't imagine what you and your family are going through but I hope some day you all will find peace.

Simply Shelley said...

I know your pain as I lost my little nephew almost 16 years ago....such a long time ago but,the memory is there...I pray your pain will grow easier each day...each year...God will bring comfort through the presence of his Holy Spirit. I still question why at times but,the answer is his and I won't know what that answer may be until I stand before him in his Kingdom. I must believe he knows best and although it makes no sense to me...somehow it fits into his plan...hope these words I have shared has brought you some kind of comfort...may God give you peace and comfort...to all....Shelley

Jen,

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sadly I know your pain and I feel the same way life doesn't make any sense to me anymore. I just go through the daily motions and don't remember one day from the next.

Jenn,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family everyday. I am grieving with you and wish that I was near so I could bring comfort with a hug. Instead, I will send a hug via this message to let you know how much I care.

In Hebrews 13:5, it says "I will never fail you or forsake you." Please know that Christ our Savior is holding you within his arms and bringing you peace.

Blessings,
Alicia

My Colonial Home said...

Oh Jen I feel so bad for you and your family....this has to be the toughest loss to endure. We understand when a parent ages and it's the natural course of life....but not this.

Thank God for the wonderful memories, and Jen, hang on to them as I know you will and it will be a blessing and a joy as time goes on rather than making a sadness in your heart.

Hugs, karen

Thinking of you and your family during this time. Know that in some way some good will come from this - maybe another young life will be saved by someone who learned a lesson from what happened. Take care, Tweedles

i understand the sadness that makes those tears fall....and i know a day will come for all that is not filled with tears, fond memories still, but not so many tears....it will come and the ache will be less....keep strong for those that need your strenght, that will keep you going

I know those tears, Jen. I lost my two little nieces (5 years ago) Hannah & Emma, Hannah was also my God daughter...my heart is still full of sadness
--it feels like BOTH, a lifetime ago and just yesterday since they went to heaven--
I still have "triggers" that set the tears in motion.
Bearing the loss/sadness does get easier with time...but it never 'goes away'...at least for me, five years later....


((hugs))
I'm keepin you in my prayers♥

I think when we lose any family member it is hard, but when it is an innocent child, it is a hurt and loss that no one can ever forget or put behind them. I love your blog, and your changes...and your heart will heal in time, but your tears will always be there...healing prayers from my house to yours...hugs...
