[COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#003366]The purpose of this blog is to immortalize my son because it is my responsibility to make sure people remember him. Unfortunately, when you die, life goes on and you are soon forgotten. It just happens. People forget. [/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#003366]Unless there is a parent or friend to remind people that you once existed, no one will remember. People don't mean to forget, but life happens and memories fade. It is up to us to keep their memories alive. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000080][COLOR=#009900][COLOR=#003366]I also have started this blog in the hope of helping others. Helping by being there for newly bereaved parents, heeding the call of suicide, and lending support to those experiencing a hard time in life at this moment. Taylor died young because his soul was fully developed, he had to die to pass on his message of hope and love. His death has taught us all many lessons and we hope to teach you what we have learned about when it comes to the afterlife.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#003366]No one understands unless they have personally experienced the loss of a child. It's like how no one can understand how much you can possibly love another human being until you actually have your own child. It's like that, only in reverse- because as wonderful as it is to experience the love of a child, experiencing the loss of one is even more profound.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#003366]Feel free to PM me as I am willing to help you through your grief. I've been there, I am there, and I can hold your hand and hold you up while you begin this bumpy ride. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#ff0000]What is Normal after your child dies?[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is having tears waiting behind every smile when you realize someone important is missing from all the important events in your [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]family's life. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is trying to decide what to take to the cemetery for Birthdays, X-mas, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, New Years, Valentine's Day, July 4th and Passover. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is feeling like you can't sit another minute without getting up and screaming, because you just don't like to sit through anything anymore. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is not sleeping very well because a thousand what if's & why didn't I's go through your head constantly. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is reliving the accident continuously through your eyes and mind, holding your head to make it go away. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is having the TV on the minute you walk into the house to have noise, because the silence is deafening. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is staring at every boy who looks like he is Taylor's age. And then thinking of the age he'd would be now. Then wondering why it is even important to imagine it, because it will never happen. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is every happy event in your life always being backed up with [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]sadness lurking close behind, because of the hole in your heart. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is telling the story of your child's death as if it were [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]an everyday, commonplace activity, and then seeing the horror in [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]someone's eyes at how awful it sounds. And yet realizing it has [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]become a part of your "normal." [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is each year coming up with the difficult task of how to honor your childs's memory and their birthdays and survive these days. And trying to find the balloon or flag that fit's the occasion. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Happy Birthday? Not really. [/COLOR]

I am so very sorry for your loss of your son; and conversely happy that you had him in your life. I have dear friends who whose son committed suicide the year he graduated high school.....that was some years ago....I know the loss continues to hurt them.
They continue to go to a support group even after quite a few years....for themselves but also to be there for others.
Again, my sincere condolences.Posted 09-10-2008 at 05:20 AM by elston
