I was 3 1/2. It's just that June is coming up, and I HATE the month of June. It was his birthday, the anniversary of his death, my parent's wedding anniversary, and Father's Day all in one month. Blech. My mom usually gets kinda depressed around that time of year.

I totally understand. Next Thursday is the anniversary of my "other" kid's mother's death, and that together with Mother's Day make this time of year rather blue too.

What's wrong Krystyna?

My laptop is on its last legs, and until Marc's new job gets him a new laptop so I can have his old one, I'm living on borrowed time.

My grandfather is still in the hospital. They can't get his blood pressure down, and they really don't want him having another heart attack.. Plus, now he's hallucinating at night.

And we just found out that a close family friend's daughter is in the hospital for the umpteenth time, and has a rapidly failing heart, and it's breaking our friend's heart. She had two adopted kids - one boy, and one girl. The boy used them to get through college, then took off and they haven't heard from him in 30 years, and her daughter is profoundly deaf, and has always had health problems, never married, and had no kids, so our dear friend is losing her only family member. It's soooo sad.

Not a good morning.
I just read the story of Baby Samuel. It's so incredibly sad.
How can people be so brave?

I read that after hearing some very sad news here.
A Philadelphia Police Officer was shot to death last night, responding to a burglary at a bar. He never even had the chance to draw his gun.
Our family met this officer several years ago when he headed an outreach program in our former neighborhood and brought his program to the Boys and Girls Club where our daughters worked. Our family helped start a petition to nominate the officer for a prestigious award bestowed on city Police Officers every year. He did not win, but was so happy to be nominated. He earned it. He really cared about the community he worked in and put his whole heart and soul into his work.
Officer Gary Skerski was working an overtime shift on Operation Safe Streets when he was killed. He was 46 years old and married with a 13 year old son and a younger daughter.

I'm sorry to be such a downer this morning.
But I feel like I'm choking and I knew you guys would understand my need to write this down.

My Dad's birthday is Saturday.
We picked that day for Wedding dress shopping.
A special day for the 3 of us to just have him with us in our hearts.

there's a link to a video about autism... :cool:


As for the sob stories, I'll add that my husband lost both of his parents within a year and a half of each other. His father had been diagnosed with lung cancer, and his mom had been strong for him. After the chemo, etc. he had been doing well. Then suddenly she got sick. Within a month she was in the hospital with liver damage. She was released, but had a relapse, and ended up back again. This time they told her that she would require hospice care. Her first morning home she passed away. His dad had almost a year afterwards of feeling okay, with a few complaints, and had been going to our daughter's T-ball games. Then one day, he just started getting sick again, and passed away. Both died before he had a chance to say goodbye to them.
So pretty much, Mother's Day and Father's Day would be so difficult for him if he did not have me and the kids.
