my mom was a sweet person with a good heart but she did not get the support she needed for her mental health and addiction. I was only 4 but I wish I supported her more, I love you mom and I wont forget that you did too.

My son Mike, generous of the heart. Had a contagious laugh. He worked hard at sobriety. 11 months clean, and for a reason I will never know, he used, and what he bought was laced with fentynal. I miss him more everyday. Wishing he was here. Time softens the storms, but a piece of my heart will always be with him.
Forever 30. 04-27-18, a date I will never forget. Mike’s mom.

ANNIVERSARY
We stand around,
In a cold place, where minutes feel like hours
Looking down, recalling and exchanging our memories like a bartering trade
All laughing at what we had to say, while staring at marked rock.
When the silence takes over, the cold is not felt, the rain is not heard and the world that exists around us cannot be seen. Instead, I hug a friend that I haven’t seen in a year,
In his world,
That only exists on his Anniversary.

(Dedicated to Erbie UnderWood)

My beloved son, How I love you my beautiful boy and how I miss us. You were a light in every which way, loving, selfless, and would give the shirt off your back to anyone in need. It is 6 1/2 years since you have been gone and the pain of the loss of a child is never ending… I carry you with me every single day is this so called journey of life without my son… oh David… what pain and agony it is and will always be without you my beautiful boy… you are my love and my sorrow… te amo mi Nino lindo, Ma

To my brother, Grant. I miss you everyday and only wish I could hug you again. Your nephews Liam and Lance talk about you all the time and I would do anything to have you back so you could watch them grow up. I love you so much and I’m sorry I didn’t give you the help you needed. I’ll have that regret for the rest of my life. I hope you know how much I love you and miss you. For now, enjoy your new life in Heaven and please be waiting there for me when it’s my turn.

Oh, the sheer agony of it all. Your presence made our world a much kinder and more joy-filled place. Your absence leaves a gaping void that will never be filled. You are loved and missed more than Life Herself, darling Drew. Forever and all-ways in our hearts…
