Today's Heartbreak - The Day We Say Our Good-Bye....

 It is early.  THE DAY.  Not wanting to face the reality that

my grandson really has passed away.  But, it is something

we all face,  and I know  I am not alone in my grief.

 

His father is absolutely devastated.  We had a very good

relationship with him as an ex-son in-law, and I feel so

broken  hearted, not just from losing Alex, but from having

to see the many grieving family members.  His sister, she

has always been there for him.   Actually, she lost not just

a brother but in a way a son.  You don't mother a person

from little girl up to age 25 without that feeling of losing a

person having been dependent upon you for these short

years.  Their hearts were knitted togeher.

 

Alex left many friends behind.  He was so well known and

liked.  He, like his mother, (who is deceased), knew no

strangers.

 We will miss his laughter, his sense of humor, and quick

wit.

 

It has been said he was turning over a new leaf.  Beginning

to see life differently.  He just turned 22 in May.  So a young man

was beginning his lifes journey.  It was cut short for some

unknown reason.  One person made a touching comment,


"What better time to go, than when he was ready to make

changes for the good." Just like his mom.  God in his infinite

mercy understands why this was Alex's time to leave this

earth.  To us it appeared he was just beginning.  But, we must

remember, only God knows how long we are put here for.

But, Oh, the pain...we who are left behind, go through.

 

For anyone who is not a believer, you may not understand.

That is okay.  For those of us who are, we recall that in

the scriptures, 'Jesus wept' when he was on this earth.

I am not ashamed as a Christian to show that my heart

is broken and my tears flow freely. 

 

An old song...."I Don't Need To Understand, I Just Need To

Hold HIs Hand."'

CBY... thank you for your comment. I just
spoke to my grandsons' father and he and
Alex's sister are going to the WVU game today.
I know it will be so difficult for them as it was
Alex's beginning of his junior year, and he would
have been there. So, we are reminded today
that Alex is away. Life does go on doesn't it?

I know just how difficult it is to lose a child. I never want to lose another but as you attest, everything is in God's loving hands. The good news is we will be reunited one day.

Thank you so much. We have felt the prayers.

I had my daughter look at your photo here and
she saw me, our Cindy, and her daughter in you
as a little girl. How about that???

Love, GG
