Herinneren is een vorm van ontmoeten…

As Christmas is coming and starting to get near, all I can think about is why you aren't here... I don't feel much like decorating, I'm not feeling the Holiday "cheer"... There is one person missing, one person I wish was here... Happy Christmas in Heaven, my son...!!!

My sweet son, on the day that you were born, October 5-1968, earth received such an amazing gift, and on the day that you died, April 5-2003, Heaven received a very special angel... Happy B-Day in Heaven, may you have the best birthday ever!!! There is no doubt, and that's for sure, I will see you again, while this world we endure, once again to be united way above, wrapped in the arms of our Savior's love.xxxx

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new... I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too... I think of you in silence, I often speak your name... All I have are memories and a picture in a frame... Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part...God has you in His arms, I have you in my heart...

I lost my child, my son, who was 34... He died on April-fifth-2003... Sometimes I can't sleep, and writing about the pain helps me through the night and seems to be good therapy... I was told to give it time because everyone said that time heals everything, but the ones who say that are the ones fortunate enough not to know the pain caused from losing their child... R.I.P. sweet Ylan......
