Gregory, it has been a year and five days. It hurted more. Many sent in remembrances of you. It seems the year came around so fast. We are trying to keep going, but you were all we had. The year has been hard. I know you always worried about us, and others. I wish you had learned to love yourself more. There's anger, denial, pain, the why's, dreams,nightmares,pretending,the wishes to do more, say more, and wish your leaving had been different. It is almost another day. I love you. I know Jehovah knows all, and He will act in His time. It is the only comfort I have. Love you, miss you. 👋 Mom
Gregory, today you would have been 31. You are. You're not here. You are nowhere in this life anymore. Whatever happened, happens, you're not here. I'm still at June 10th. It's been 6 months, two days, hours, minutes, seconds. Today is your birth day. I love you. Your Dad misses you. I miss you. I found your watch. Maybe get it fixed for your Dad. I found a card from you, and others. Six months of being in and out of reality. I'm still at questions, moments, tears, searching for you, waiting to hear your voice, your laugh, etc. You are, were my Son, my one, and only. I'm still walking through the valley of deep shadows. I'm leaning on Jah, as I can, not perfectly. I now have some inkling of the pain our Father, our God must have felt when seeing His only-gotten Son, Jesus, to be unjustly tormented on a torture stake. He knowing that his Son would have to actually feel all the pain--mentally, physically, and emotionally for the world of sinful, redeemable mankind. It is why, Jesus cried out, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me. How painful those words must have sounded to God. This is what Jehovah God and his son, Jesus, knew what had to be done to save redeemable mankind. Imagine, God's feelings, also to know his only begotten Son was non-existent for 3 days. He was not alive anywhere, and had to witness all the things done to Jesus, and the words,'my God, my God why have you forsaken me'. Yes, the Almighty God, showed the GREATEST LOVE after. I guess I have been thinking about that a lot. That, God, gave his only-begotten Son. Not angels, or another perfect man, his only Son. Well, it's the feeling, the understanding, the lost of a child.
Well, I better go on with my day. Missing you with all my heart. I love you. 12/12.
It's been five months, five days, and some hours. I'm trying, but I'm still on June 10th, around 12:30 a.m., and can't get beyond that. Miss you. Miss you. Mom
