Re: Momma
I have a firm belief and complete faith in the fact that I will when the time comes, have a reunion with my son and other loved ones in a most wonderful place. Several years ago, and several years after my son died (at seven years old) I had a dream that is as vivid at this moment as it was then. I could very clearly hear his voice and he said very matter-of-factly in his little 7 year old way, "Dad, when I woke up I was here in this neat new place. You should be happy like me Dad". (I so clearly remember him emphasizing "new" and "me" when he said this.) It seemed so completely real, not like the foggy bits and fragments of "regular" dreams I've had. I woke up right after that (it was 4:07 AM) and I knew I wasn't going to go back to sleep. That had really shaken me initially, but after lying there in the dark for just a few of minutes, I not only mentally but literally physically felt my terrible depression and grief that had become so much a part of my existence, completely leave me and I realized I was actually smiling. It was the most amazingly emotional and physical feeling I've ever experienced. That dream or whatever you wish to call it, pulled me out of a pit of deep depression and utter despair that I was buried in for years and that I was sure up to that point I would never climb out of.
My prayers are with you Juilianna and never forget that we have so much more to look forward to after all is said and our tasks here are done.

Re: Momma
Juilianna, I can understand some of what you are going through. As a young boy I lost my father in an automobile accident. I have always wished that I could have had the chance to say Good Bye. But to have the chance to say Good Bye and have to watch as you are just hurts my heart for you. May my LOVE and Sympathy be with you.

Re: Momma
Thank you all so much for your wonderful sentiments. I realize losing a parent is the natural order of the universe but it is the single most painful thing I've ever experienced. As I tell my children, whent he day comes when we meet my Mom in heaven we will never have to say goodbye again.

Re: Momma
Juliana-thank you. I'm not to that point, yet, but my mother is fading slowly due to emphysema. It is terrible to know in advance that you are going to lose a parent and it makes you feel as helpless as a young child to stop it. So touching and so true. Your sonnet is a wonderful memorial and will help many of us to cope with the inevitable. All of my love and prayers for you and your mother!

Re: Momma
I also have yet to feel that kind of pain, but I do know that is coming, hopefully not soon. I'm so very sorry that you have to go through this, but my thoughts and prayer will be with you.
