Happy Birthday Elaine... and to your son Kristi. I will get it right soon, this has been a hard week for me as well, with Jordan's B-day on 9-11. I keep thinking I am doing better, then I blow it, and have another break-down. I really am trying to do good. I feel if I don't, that I am letting Jordan down. I don't want him to think "HE" ruined my life. I promised myself and him that I would be okay... but sometimes it just seems like I'm regressing; getting worse. I miss him so much. Everything is so different now. I caught myself, again, wanting to call him and tell him I found a neat old bottle that I knew he'd like. Twice in 15 minutes I did the exact same thing. And I have been constantly upset about being without him...How can I forget in the middle of this, and want to call him? I'm losing "it", and one of these days... I don't think I'll get "it" back. Pray for me...today I really need some extra help. God Bless ...
..................Love Leslie

Twila said:Well tomorrow is here and it is going to be the hardest day yet to pass. It's my son birthday and I have wrote a poem for it but I will post it tomorrow. I really did not want this day to come and it is here so fast it seems. He would have been 19 years old and I remember when he turned 1 years old. Oh how I miss him so much I do. And when he turned 18 he told me he did not want to be 18 because that meant I would not be there for him anymore..and I told him I am 39 and my mother is still in my life I am not going no where. And he laughed at me it is so hard really hard and I miss him so much. I will talk him a cake and place it on his grave I never thought I would be doing that ever..my son my baby how I miss you and tomorrow is your day Birthday...my son..I love you
it is hard and it has been 9 months now he has gone and it hurts like it was yesterday and now its his birthday and he missed his daughter I thought that was hard. But tomorrow is going to be hard because that is my baby my son.

I am really grateful for all the postings of encouragement. I have been put on an antidepressant because I can't get over the feeling I want to be with Josh. I actually got to the point of where I tried to drown myself to see what he felt when he was drowning. Obviously, it was a half-hearted attempt! My psych nurse asked me why I feel like I have to "punish" myself?? I couldn't answer! I had an amazing relationship with Josh, we were extremely close and it was very special. We shared so much. I really really miss him.
