I am so sorry for your loss as well! Matt is doing better, much better in fact, but for one reason or another I can't seem to shake Kaitlyn's death even though I only knew of her. I do realize that as parents, our children tend to cope and adjust to difficult situations sometimes better than we do! Thank you Ally! I am so sorry for your loss as well! Matt is doing better, much better in fact, but for one reason or another I can’t seem to shake Kaitlyn’s death even though I only knew of her.

Since his death, she refused to go back in the water. She refused to talk about him because it hurt.<br /><br />But for the first time this year, when we were at Patti's over the summer, she went back swimming and had fun with Patti's daughters.<br /><br />She told me that at first she was thinking about him all the time when she was in the water...

I just lost a friend myself last week and its gonna take me time to adjust to him not being here anymore… and it made me think a lot about the precariousness of life and my beliefs… my faith in something better than this…

Death is part of life’s eternal cycle… at some point we will all deal with this inevitable end or new beginning…

That reminds me that we should try to enjoy each day that passes for the blessings it brings us.

You are lucky to have your husband now and your kids to illuminate your life… I dearly hope that you enjoy every minute of it.

Thanks for sharing the song.

I hope your son is better. It’s a hard process to mourn such a close friend.

It took more than 2 years to my little one to be at peace with the fact that one of our dear friend (who was like a ‘grandpa’ to her) had died.

He was the one who taught her to swim and dive… she was swimming with him in his swimming pool every holiday since she was a baby !!! Since his death, she refused to go back in the water. She refused to talk about him because it hurt.

She told me that at first she was thinking about him all the time when she was in the water… (and that she will probably think about him every time she swims…) but that it was not a sad memory anymore, it was good memories of good times.

And I said that it’s the best way to celebrate this person we love(d).

I hope your son will find peace.
It’s gonna take time but some day…

Love, sweetie
Take Care !
Ally.
