Easter celebrations are bittersweet without our sons and daughters who have gone before us to heaven. But we will move along the best we are able into Spring. One bit of time at a time.

This is tough. I've always loved Spring, but now it contains mixed feelings. As seasons come and go, it just reminds me how much time has been passing without my son here with us in his physical self. Yet, the new life that Spring brings is like tiny glimmers of hope trying to come out of the cold darkness I've been in.
Peace,
Laurie

Its amazing, Easter wasnt as torturesome as I thought it would be. This is the first of many family functions without Matt. I really didnt think I could do it but its amazing what you can do when you have to. We are tight family and Matt loved the family get together's. We try to do one a month whether it is a birthday or just bingo nite, we love to eat and celebrate. I dont want to lose that, our family has been looking at me to kinda decide if we can continue those family things, even though its hard I want my daughter's life to be just as good as what Matt's was, and that includes honoring him with our family "fun" times. All I have is my faith in Matt that he is always with me, I miss him so much. So , all in all Easter was good.

Amber,
I am so glad that your Easter went well.Just continue to remember what Matt would want you to do.You are right to concentrate on his life rather than his death.That is what I am trying to do also.Laura,my oldest, died in a car crash on 7/19/07.Her birthday was 2/26.She would have been 40.She always worried about getting old.Now she never will.My youngest is Megan.She is just a little older than Matt.She was born 6/8/90.When she is not at home I worry constantly.I try not to let her know.But,it is hard not to be scared of losing her too.

I also worry about my youngest Court, she just turned 12 days before Matt was killed. I just cant bear the thought of her growing up an only child or losing another child.. I feel guilty bc my husband has been wanting another child for years and the time was never right, crazy I know looking back< Matt played soccer on two teams that traveled all over the country both in spring & fall, so it would of been hard to have another baby at that time. I always said after Matt graduates high school,bc I surely didnt want to be huge and pregnant at his graduation. Hind sight is a tricky thing. Now I do the "what ifs" about everything. Life is quite comical if you stop and think about it. Thanks for responding..
Love to you all,
I love and miss Matt terribly,

Amber,
I understand about worring about your other child/children.I do that everyday and it becomes really difficult some times praying God doesn't take another child from you.I've lost two of my sons and pray everyday I won't loss anymore.
I really admire your outlook and the way you are dealing with the loss of Matt.We all need to keep their memories alive and keep doing the things that they enjoyed so much,it keeps them close to our hearts. Mostly trying to make life as normal as possible for are other children and always remembering they need us to.
{{{{{hugs}}}}}
Love ya!
Barbara
