Cap'n, i met you in the Invisibles, found your profile and this, your story.<br />
i've had struggles, but not this one. gut wrenching, yet somehow we do go on living, and eventually we return to feeling.<br />
looking forward to getting to know you better!

I think I saw on your home page that you from Virginia. I was stationed in Norfolk while in the Navy from what I saw you have a beautiful State. We have something in common. Many moons ago I worked in the hotel industry. Worked as desk clerk and relief night auditor. Not my cup of tea I guess. Okay enough about moi. At least you were able to spend all the time with your daughter. It is also very nice that she knew you before you lost her. A pox on your husband for not being there for both of…

Pixiegirl, I don't know how brave I am in sharing my story just felt that it was something that I needed to do. What I did find was that there are a number of very kind people here and the sharing of their stories with me.<br />
<br />
Thank you for the compliment.

I agree with you Janice, having good friends has gotten me through some serious times. It is also very nice to have a good friend to share the good times. Oh yes, what goes around comes around, sometimes it just seems take a very long time. :-)<br />
<br />
Today goes under the heading pleasant times. This being a day off I have been outside enjoying the cool Autumn air. I guess I should say crispy, as there was a good frost this morning. Plenty of firewood to cut for the wood burner.

good morning Thom, I enjoyed those 5 months I spent with her. She was born with major birth defects and spent most of her life in a military hospital. She knews who I was, and I did have her home some of the time. He(her father did not see her at all). on to the good part of life. I have two great daughters. One born before and one after this. I would love to meet and greet. I meet many people from your area as I run a hotel, and this time of year they are trying to get out of the cold. Talk…

Janice. I wanted to reply last night after I arrived home from work but the best laid plans.. etc. Must explain that this is a second marriage for both of us and that it was my son whom we lost. My ex wife is the one who handled the funeral. Well, if the truth be known my daughter was the one who had all responsibility placed on her shoulders but that is a story for another time.

My ex wife is the one who handled the funeral. Well, if the truth be known my daughter was the one who had all responsibility placed on her shoulders but that is a story for another time. I like you went around talking to friends and family. My family was there as was most of the ex's family. I even had a couple of aunts and uncles there. So sad that your husband wasn't there to be with you. I wasn't in tears evey minute either. I did sob when I saw him in the casket. Also cried before I went to the funeral. I too felt that I had to be there to suport my family. As afr as the actions of my middle botehr and his wife and thier leaving after only an hour was just plain selfishness on their part as the situation wasn't revolving around them.<br />

May I ask if there is any possibility that we could write of more pleasant subjects. No pressure from me I will let you decide. Must take the dogs for our daily walk then start my chores.

Blondie, I finally made it online. As I told Felicia the best laid plans, etc.<br />
<br />
Whew, I must say that I had a lump in my throat after I read your story. At least in my case my wife was there. Must explain that this is a second marriage for both of us and that it was my son whom I lost. I can't say I know how you felt at the time you lost your child as we all grieve in our own way. Just can't understand why your husband wasn't there for you. I don't expect to ever recover from my loss. I won't…

May I ask if you have other children now?<br />
<br />
Do you think that there is a chance that we might have other conversations of a less serious nature? I enjoy meeting people and find this is a great way to meet people and read about different ideas and interests. So no pressure from me if you think that it is something that you would like to do please let me know. Good morning Felicia:

Good morning Felicia:<br />
<br />
The best laid plans etc etc. Anyway I am finally getting back to you. I know about worrying about grand children. The grandsons seem to be following down their father's footsteps which really frightens me. All I can do is be there for support. I understand about being mindful about placing judgement of other's during a time of sorrow. I really do try to respect that but in the case of my brother it was just plain selfishness because the situation didn't revolve around…

Sorry still a great deal of bitterness about that whole situation.<br />
<br />
It has been too soon to tell you how a parent recovers from the loss of a child. Guess I still think that it really didn't happen and that one day he will call and tell me that he is coming home.<br />
<br />
Thanks for allowing me to vent.<br />

Is there any possibility that we could have conversations on more pleasant subjects? I will let you decide.
