    Yew...my heart bleeds for you and I honestly mean that. Having lost our 10-year old boy 25 Dec 2010, the memories (and wounds) are still fresh and nobody's loss is ever fully understood as your own - no matter how similar the circumstances...

    Take time to heal.

    I pray the Lord's comfort and blessings on you and your family during this time!

      So very sorry to learn of your loss. I can not imagine how bad this would be. Best Regards

        To all of you...

        I thank you....I forced myself to ride the 700 the other night....and it was hard as hell, I bawled like a newborn....amazingly rainx does not work on eyeballs....but I toughed it out and with the Pixie(momma)with me, we rode to a friends and then home.

        God has deemed it necessary for her to return Home....I was merely a caretaker and a pupil for something greater...

            Abby

            I was out in our orchard here today...at work...and I saw something..odd. In the ponderosa pine orchard there were a flock of collared doves...I never see them out here..the red tailed hawks usually decimate them. I walked up within five feet of them, and they just sort of stared at me...looked northwest as a group, and took off.

            Maybe Abigail....

              The timing of this post is amazing. A guy I work with is dismanteling a 100 plus year old house and found a book published on the history of this County in 1931. One of the stories is about a Black man who burned down the jail while an inmate there and perished in the fire. Local lore has it that a flock of White birds appeared in the area the next day and left after a few days. Some wondered if it was to escort his soul into the next world. The article noted that this was a break in tradition as it was widely believed in this area at that time that Black people had no soul. There is much we don't know.............................................. ......

              Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                Wow......that really got to me. I have been watching this post wanting to say something, but I had no idea what to say.

                  I think shes ok

                  I was contemplating much last night...after taking Jakob to bed (our nine-year-old)...he's had such a hard time with this...I was crying again, not so much for her loss but for the confusion and pain and loss that he feels for her. They were such the pair. Never fought, argued...just weird. I thought they might need counselling... anyhow.....Abby has been with me three nights straight now in my dreams...always smiling..always happy...so..yeah..I think its ok..

                    Yewtree, this picture is worth more than a thousand of my useless words.
                    Summoning the strength to carry on for the others in your family is a tough job.
                    I bet you can do it.

                      I wanted to thank you...

                      I owe you all a debt of gratitude. This has been more than likely the worst thing I have ever experienced. No amount of combat, death, destruction, injury, or loss in my life has ever equalled this. Ever. The fact that all of you are here lightens the load, even if to just open up and say what I'm feeling or experiencing is a gift. I urge all of our members, especially those of you with children, to go outside tonight with a big bottle of bubbles and play with your kids, grandkids, neighbor kids.....just love on them..remind yourselves why we get jobs that suck, eat from a kids' spoon, and enjoy oreos.

                      God bless you all, my friends.

                        No one should have to bury their own child, let alone someone as young as yours. I have a 7 year old and thank God every day she is healthy and normal.

                        No matter how much trouble she can cause I remember how special she is to my wife and I, especially since she came along rather late in our marriage and we'll be around 60 when she goes to college.

                        I think tonight I'll take her to the pet shop and let her pick out something for her pet hamster.

                          Its her birthday....all

                          Its Abbys birthday. Its sunny, warm, and breezy. I can smell the oaks and ponderosas and the tilled earth. I hear mourning doves....hawks...



                          Please go home today, and hold your kids, and maybe if you could...buy a big red balloon and let it go for her..and me...Gosh I miss her.

                            No kids, but a little later I'll be buying a balloon to release here in San Antonio for her.

                                Found some peace and solace....

                                I spent the weekend going through some things...Marine Corps pics, some of me in country, some of homecomings....and found one of all of us at MCSD on the tarmac...it was near dusk. The weird sunlight there at dusk..well...those of you from the area know, it can play tricks on your camera...but there was a halo around her lil head...I swear ta Gawd.....so..the pain is pretty much abated......thanks again all.
