Death

Yes...it's a depressing topic, I know. Most days I am doing pretty good, but some days the sadness of it all just overwhelms me. When my son shows me his newest Ipod song (Toby Keith's Crying for me) My heart just aches for what he's lost, for what he saw, for what he will never forget. It's really hard to be a mother and not be able to ease your childs hurt, or take it away like you could when they were babies and the only hurt they had was a scraped knee. I can never erase his memories of the day his best friend was killed, all I can do is notice the little signs and let him know I am here. I am so thankful everyday for all that I have.
