SPRING IS UPON US IN THE MIDATLANTIC VERY SOON MY SON ETERNALLY 23 GONE FROM HIS EARTHLY BODY FOR 3 YEARS 4/18/2008. LIKE OTHERS I'VE READ ON THIS SITE ARE MET WITH THE EMPTINESS/LOSS OF THEIR CHILD NO MATTER THE AGE THEY'RE STILL YOUR BABY BE IT IF THE OLDEST, MIDDLE OR YOUNGEST. A GOOD CHILD, HONORY, FUNNY, SILLY, ADHD, ANGRY, QUIET, BOASTFUL  NO MATTER WHAT THEY WERE LIKE WHILE THEY WERE ALIVE THEY'RE EVERYTHING & MORE NOW. MY KENNY I'LL NEVER REGRET A MOMENT OF TIME LIKE MANY OF YOU I HAVE A CHRONIC PAIN WAXES & WAINS, A PAIN THAT IS HOT SHARP TURBULENT & MANY ADJECTIVES IN ONE LINE! TO THOSE WHO HAVE SAID TO ME SO HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE YOU STOP HAVING SAD DAYS OR JUST SHAKE IT OFF OR MOVE ON.....MY RESPONSE minus the expletives: HE IS MY SON I HAD HIM ON THE EARTH FOR 23+ YEARS I'LL LET YOU KNOW IN 23 YRS FROM NOW WHEN I WILL SHAKE IT OFF THEN I END THE CONVERSATION WITH MAY YOU NEVER EVER EVER EXPERIENCE THIS PAIN THINK BEFORE YOU EXILE YOUR CHILD BECAUSE LIFE CHANGES IN LITERALLY A FREAKIN HEART BEAT (under my breath I end it with JERK) SMILE AND SAY BYE BYE NOW (sort of a bird flipping kma ) smile  and walk away!!!!
