Happy, Happy Happy Birthday to Ian.
It looks like there are lots of people here on Earth still loving you, Ian.
Especially your devoted Mom, Faith.
I hope you'll come close and let her feel how your love for her continues to run strong in your heart.
Faith-
I'll say a little prayer for you tonight. It's still hard--no matter how many years go by, isn't it? Know that there are other moms out here who cry with you and understand the loneliness you feel.
Much love and support,
Annie

Shyra was the one with me this year as we walked through yet another birthday without the guest of honor . Allen is working up in Pennsylvania, Christian and his family as well as Samuel have all moved to Fort Worth Tx. so we all walked a different walk this year. Christian and Andrea brought the kids to the Crab Shack to celebrate their uncle Ian's birthday, it helped to dry the tears. They remember their uncle well for being so young, but he was with them every day.
It's still hard, and on 3/2/10 it'll be 4 years, it still makes my head spin when I think of the time that's gone by without our beloved Ian. I miss you Ian oh so very much. mom
Happy Birthday Ian Allen James Brasseaux. You'd be 22 now. There are no words that can explain how I feel today, you live on in my heart and in my memories but ooooh, how I miss your sweaty hugs after you'd play a hard game of basketball, football or whatever game. I always pretended to be disgusted, but I honestly loved it. I miss you so extremely much Ian.

This site has given so much not only when we struggle with the loss of our kids but the ripple effect that our grief has on our families. No matter what the problem or how hard it is to talk about, BI and those here find the time to support each other.
Its unique in the way that no one needs to explain their feelings, their heart break their disbelief at losing their child - everyone here gets it!
While I post mainly on the Loss of an Adult site, I found myself many times here as the stories resonate with the life I now live - a life so totally different from the one I once had.........Like so many others here....
For those still on the fence about August - this is some of the info you may or may not have had the chance to see. I know the economics and timing will always play a part in the decision making, but I hope that many of you will see this as a opportunity to find yet another place to enable you to heal, grow and share your children with those who have come to know you (many more than your own families)!
Take care -

Hi Claudia, I miss talking to you. I hope everything is going well out there. This must be a beautiful time of year there.
These past 3 years because of our loss and of course because our son Samuel had taken things so very hard that we were in fear every time the phone rang or someone was at the door, our heart would be in our throat that it was possible that our son Samuel may have gone too far, in fact every time we heard a siren our hearts would rapid pulse nearly our of our chest wondering, praying that it wasn't our son Samuel. Allen and I would scramble for our cell phones to call our kids phones just to make sure it wasn't them (mostly Samuel because he didn't care, was doing dumb stuff)
Finally a couple months ago I had had enough, it was killing me. I needed to do something and the opportunity came when our oldest son Christian was transferred to Fort Worth Tx. so I decided that Samuel needed to go too. Christian and his wife Andrea agreed, made some stipulations, some tough ones but Samuel agreed. YES! . He's there 2 months now, no job yet but we're getting our Sammy back. I know, don't relax too much. I stay in prayer but it is such a relief .... geez I can't tell you how much. But during all these 3 years the stress has laid a ton of weight on me so I'm now pushing weights  at a near by gym, with an instructor. This takes up time because it wears me out lol.
I still have my down time when I miss Ian so much that I close myself away from the world and just have a good cry frenzy then I pick myself up and move on. Claudia, thank you for being there when I needed someone on that same spiritual level, you are a God send. Thanks.
Iansmom, Faith

Well, I have gotten through the first angel date anniversary........it was rough, I'm not going to kid about it. But then, I planned to let myself be a wreck...I've been holding up (for the most part) on a daily basis..I wanted to take this date, and just focus on Cory and grieve him and miss him.. I must say, I did a very find job of it !!
Now....I am focusing on my daughter's wedding which is in just one week.......I'm not sure how I 'll get through it.....being joyful and happy when one is significantly missing.......I'm just going to keep on focusting on Claudia's visual of the wedding feast to come, with our Lord....where we will ALL be together !
I just want to say thanks to so many of you for thoughtful comments and suggestions as I continue to limp along this road I would never have chosen to be on...I've been shattered at the weakest link of my being. I don't know how I manage to keep going forward except that the Lord is carrying me, or has sent legions of angels to keep me propped up!!
God bless you all ~
Julie

Hi its, Cindy; Tanner's mom; I just want to tell all of you a story:
Well I attended a 8 week Griefshare program at a local church here in town; Um the program/movie; I honestly did not get much out of; BUT what I did get out of it was the fellowship of the other people there even though I was the only one that had lost a child; mostly they lost husbands or wives; Well anyway I met this so very nice lady she was 76 and lost her husband just weeks before; Now this woman was feeble looking but she was sharp as a tack and smart as a tack and I sat by her every week and we became good friends. This woman had be in charge of nursing for years at our local hospital and was very well respected also.......
After the griefshare program was over with I stayed in touch with her as her children did not live around here and It felt good to visit; she was always so happy to see me...... OK; again I said she appeared feeble but strong in the same token; like she had no heath problems and when I would call her or visit I would always ask her how are you? and she ALWAYS said "OH PRETTY GOOD" and I always thought to myself she sure misses her husband as she still cried when she talked about him; but it seemed like she would live forever;
SHE FOOLED ME; she did not want anyone to worry but she did not want to be alone without her husband; I think she stopped eating and her neighbor found her weak on the floor and they took her to the hospital where she had a heart attack and a do not recisitate on file... She knew what she was doing.... She died 2 weeks ago at 77.
So what I learned from her is she was strong to the end; but in the end knew she had lived her life and knew she could not live without her husband so she left to be with him........I just wanted to share this with you all......... She taught me a great lesson on living life; and choosing to live life; I understand what she did totally;
Her name was Evelyn Darr; I will miss her...... warm heartfelt hugs to everyone of you here; you guys Rock!!!!! Cindy; Tanner's Mama Gama

That is so very sad. I hope I leave my husband before he dies. It must be so difficult to be going through what Dawn is going through now.
I will find out if my breast cancer is back next week. In a very sick way I hope it is. I know, I know....

Oh Meredith,
You are allowed to get as angry and sorrowful as you would like! Jeff was your only one???? I cannot imagine. My son Taylor did a stupid thing too - he tried to walk down a path to go fishing and fell and hit his head and then fell into the water and drown. Teens sometimes just do really stupid things.
Taylor was my only son and I have one child left, a daughter who is feircely independent and 18.
Of course you are suffering from PTS! What happened to you is frightful! Who would have ever expected that your son would be dead?! I hope you are doing better now.
