I saw your title to the post and I simply couldn't read the post.
Because somehow I knew.
Over the past couple days I read the first couple sentences to this post and I couldn't read further.
I did finally just read it all.
I know you've heard it a million times now- I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart hurt reading this. I can't imagine how you're feeling.
No parent should have to bury their child.
I hope your son has a beautiful funeral service and I hope you can find some sort of peace.
I started donating blood shortly after my own son was diagnosed with a sickness and I will continue to donate blood in your son's memory.
f*** cancer.
Thank you all so much. I went to my initial counseling appointment today, and it went well. I'll continue going after the services. I feel like that will be a good second step. Time will never fix this, but I can learn coping techniques.
Pp, he just turned 15 in June. He was completely robbed of life, yet has also been blessed with the peaceful, eternal life that is beyond our scope of understanding.
I'm very sorry ? I can't even imagine.
As you said, at least he is in a better place and he is free of any pain or suffering. He knows you love him with everything you have and that's all you can ask for. He'll always be with you and apart of you. I hope that offers some small comfort ??
Tears came to my eyes when I read your story.. I couldn't believe his life took a left turn when it was all looking good.. I was following your story because it is similar to my own, and we have been praying for the best for your family and hadn't heard much from you. I was sad to hear the news and heart broken to read the story, I wish there was something that I could say or do for you to help you and your family. May God stand by you through this difficult time.. ((Hugs))
Thank you all so much. Yes, my girls are so sweet and so innocent. I don't know how we are going to tell dd1. We are going to do it tomorrow afternoon though. Just little steps. Oh I just keep apologizing to him. I know he is much happier now, but my heart and gut feel so empty.
Im in shock. Im so sad and heartbroken for you. I don't know how you're living in this agony. How does anyone just keep going, keep waking up every morning knowing your baby won't be. How do you smile. Eat. Breathe. Live. Im praying so hard that you find the strength to get through this. I know you will. You're an amazing woman. As lucky as you are to have had such a blessing of a son, so was he to have such a blessing of a mother. Please don't be afraid to use us as an outlet. We are here for you. ❤️
I'm so so so so sorry. I have been thinking about you the whole day and asking myself why, it was just a nose bleed.
I had problems reading your story because if the tears, and again this question running through my mind, why? It was just a nose bleed.
My heart goes out to you and your family. My prayers are with you.
Fly high little man. I didn't know you personally but you touched my soul
You can donate to any. There is a Childhood Leukemia Foundation, or even donating money to the blood banks if that's possible. It's so wonderful that he is inspiring you all to help. Thank you.
I don't know what to say because I know nothing will mend your broken heart. A piece of you is gone and I cannot even imagine the sadness you feel. I remember reading your updates and saying a little prayer anytime I came across your posts. I am so very sorry for the loss of your son. I used to work on the leukemia floor at MD Anderson Cancer Center and I've seen how fast things can happen. F*** cancer.
Thank you all so much. I know this post is graphic. I just needed to write it out for myself. It's therapeutic for me. I still am in shock and don't know how I am going to be able to accept it. We went home yesterday and I asked dh to close his door so I don't have to see his things. I want him to be in there. I am going to start giving blood and platelets in his memory, among other things. Keep his memory alive as much as possible.
I'm so unbelievably sorry for your loss, Mama. I am unsure of your beliefs, but if you are spiritual in any way, please reach out to me. It does not have to be soon, it can be days, weeks, months, years from now...whenever you are ready. I would like to help you. Sending so much love and strength your way
?? omg. I'm so beyond sorry. I cannot imagine having to go through any of that. This is so heartbreaking. I'm sure he heard everything you said to him and knew you all were there. He's in a better place now where he doesn't have to suffer anymore, and I'm sure will watch over all of you. This is so unexpected and sad. I don't even know what else to say :(.
Oh my goodness mama. I couldn't imagine having to ever go through any of this. You are such a strong woman. May your baby fly high and keep a watchful eye over you all
