The are times when the warrior tiger comes out in me. For me, it is a new trait that started when Tim died. When someone says something so wrong that the tiger rises up in defense. Am I selfish in my loss of my son? You bet I am. It is not that I don’t see others pain, or feel pain for them, it is that my loss is personal. We will see the loss of our child as the greatest loss of all.

Beautiful, strong and eternal
is a sister's love
Whether it exists on earth
or in the Heaven above
Limits and boundaries
a sister's love knows none
Even when
her physical presence is gone
Neither sickness nor death
The Early Days
We “miss” you
They say I should feel lucky, I still have my memories. Lucky? They wonder, at this six month point, why I still grieve as I did at that first moment. They tell me I should get right with God, ummm, they know my relationship with God? They don't understand why I am not moving on, getting over it, letting go, saying a final good-bye. I find these things offensive.
As time passes by, you can almost catch your self feeling as if your slipping away.But it takes inner strength and faith to keep you connected. One truly relates to pain or a loss so differently, while others seem to glance at a watch and say " it's been long enough". I know emotions surface during anniversary dates that we just don't want to remember.
My brother in law died in a commercial fishing accident several years ago. He was helping a close friend try to catch some fish that he could sell. Mr. Brooks had two dollars in his wallet when the cooler washed up on shore. The boat was overturned. The wallet was safe inside, Al and Mr. Brooks were nowhere to be found.
