    You have done a lot of living and I was very sad to hear about your son’s death. I cannot imagine how incredibly painful that was, especially having NO warning and because of his age. Our community/my daughter’s school class, lost a friend exactly the same way. He was playing footie at lunch time and dropped dead in front of his friends and teachers…a previously healthy young man.

    I’m so sorry you lost your son. My mom died two years ago, nearly to the day, and I miss her every day. She sends me little signs though and makes me smile–I hope your son does the same for you. 🙂
    Very nice to meet you!

    Your blog is so wonderful to read! I am sorry for the great loss you have experienced in your life…to lose a son is a loss that is deep and personal. My brother died at the age of 19 in the US Air Force –overseas..he was stationed in Iceland–I was 5 at the time…it was so hard on my Mom & Dad…there was no body to bring home. Even though there were 10 more of us, it was always a painful loss for my Mom. I still marvel at her courage to smile and be happy amidst all of that pain. You strike me as that same type of resilient person. Blessings on you…and may joy find you and be with you! Thank you for the “follow”…and I am also “following” you…Have a good weekend!

    Hi,

    I’ve been talking to Thomas Marlowe and we are both missing the Trifecta Challenge. One thing led to another and we have decided to set up Light and Shade Challenge where there are prompts twice every week and a chance to share what inspiration strikes.

    We are not trying to be the same as Trifecta. They were awesome and I miss them. We do have some really exciting ideas of our own, though and can’t wait to see what happens. It would be great if you could come and join us and see where this journey takes us. Good writers are always welcome. If you have any questions then get in touch either on the Light and Shade Challenge Blog http://lightandshadechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ or on the Facebook page. It would be wonderful to hear from you.
