Journal Entry for September 18, 2007 Mood

Tuesday, September 18, 2007

I want all of you to know that I really do know how lucky I am to have a grandchild on the way. I appreciate everyone's support. I know that so many of my friends here would give anything to have this possibility in their lives...so please know that when I say it is hard...it is hard ONLY because Alex is not here and I hurt over Jackie's loss of a husband and father and then....Alex not being here to parent the child. I love you all and your support is amazing. And having Alex continue on in my grandchild is crazy wonderful!!

I can't say that I know how you feel as Melissa was my only daughter and she didnt' have any children. As of yet I don't want Justin to be a Daddy (he's only 19). But I do know the pain with the loss of a wonderful child. May this grandchild remind you of your precious Alex, and may this little bundle of joy bring you endless happiness. Take Care...Love ya, HUGS

Truly a blessing, but certainly not a replacement. I feel your heart through your words. Yes, you are lucky to be able to hold this grandchild soon, a gift which has been stolen from me. Enjoy, spoil, shower with love and talk of Alex everyday to this precious new one. Please post pictures when he/she arrives. I'd love to see them.
Hugs from Teri and Kala

My 34 year old son died May 21, 2007. He has 4 children ages 6, 8, 10, 14. They are truly a blessing and I am so thankful to have a part of him here with me. At first I just could hardly function because I was just so devastated for them. He was the loving, attentive parent and the one they could always count on to be there for them. I still struggle with the unfairness of them having to grow up without their Daddy but I will always love, nurture and make sure they never forget just how much their Daddy loved them and how they meant the world to him. I hope this makes sense to you, I understand the bittersweetness of the grandchildren issue. They are my life but it also adds another dimension of grief for me because I feel the children's grief also. Prayers and hugs to you...Lynn

As Teri said - truly an incredible blessing but can never replace. I too am expecting another grandson (however not by the son I lost). It is a blessing and certainly hard at the same time. I understand... Lots of love, Karen

I do know how you feel. John had a son, Nic, and it's a bitter sweet kind of thing. I love having him in my life but I'm also sad, or sorry I guess that Nic will never know his Dad and for all the stuff John will miss. Nic first day of school, his first hockey game etc.I hurt for Nic'c pain and I hurt because of all the things he will not have a Dad to do. Understanding I think. Love and hugs Cathy
