A Blue Day

Today is the day I lost Dustin many years ago. He was 16 and my only child. I remember all the happy times we shared. The smiles, the jokes, the I love you’s go through my mind each and every day.

This is why I tell you all the time never take anyone or anything for granted. They can be gone in an instant. Treasure who you have in your life. Tell them you love them.

This is one of my favorite quotes: Those we love and lose are never gone. They walk beside us every day… unseen… unheared… still near… Still loved… Still missed and still very dear!

  1. I can not imagine what it looks like when you lose a child … I’m with you, my dear friend
     Such a beautiful month … for you, full of sad memories … hold on my dear friend

  2. I knew it was around Christmas time. I am so sorry Carol, and yes you have taught me to enjoy every second with my two sons. Not that I didn’t before, but I think about you when we go out hiking and how these times will be my most treasured. Thank you for being my friend!

  4. On 9 December? After that 8/12? Oh… I’m so sorry, Carol. Seems that many have things happened to you in December.

    At home, on 00:01 Dec 10, we just blew the birthday candles of our youngest daughter, while on December 20 my eldest sister and 24 of my younger sister will celebrate the same event.
