Thankyou so much for a beautiful poem for Kyle and James and all other grieving parents out there… I was in tears as I read your letter and poem this morning. It is so thoughtful of you to think about writing a poem at a time when you too are going through your own grieve and pain of losing your son.
I feel extremely honoured and blessed and Im sure so does my angel son Kyle.

I read your story about losing your son “James” and immediately I realised the deep love you had for your son. And I want you to know that you are not the only one who is blessed to have had James in your life,but so was James to have a loving and caring father like you in his life. I must say that I really appreciate your attitude in all of this. Losing a child is not easy,but Im taken by how you are striving to become a better person because of your experience. I too have been praying to God to guide me and show me what it is that I need to change in my life because of my experience,as painful as it may be I do believe that my loss is going to give birth to something beautiful.

I cant image the tons of memories you must have of your son,Kyle was only 5 years old and boy do I have memories of him. So with James being 22 you must have millions more then me. Kyle was extremely matured for his age and he was a very kind and soft hearted little boy with so much of love to give. He just wanted to be happy and be at peace.So his dad and I made him a promise to keep his legacy of peace,love and happiness alive and spread it as far and wide as we can. A neighbour of mine also told me something that was and still is very precious to me. She told me that at night when Im asleep Kyle is brought to my bed to sleep next to me every night. I may not see him or feel him but he is there.
I tell you this brought me so much of peace and it made me look forward to bedtime every night. I also light a candle for him at home every night when I get back from work. I sure hope that somehow you can find some kind of solace in what Im sharing with you.

You are right,James will always be your angel – and always remember that nothing will ever seperate you from the love you both shared for and with eachother. I’ve never met James but it sure sounds like was a good child,who had a good and big heart. I will keep you and your family in my prayers and ask God for his devine peace and strenght in your lives. And also for the acceptance that your son is safe with Him,it’s not easy to release your child to God. There are days when Im fine with it – then there are days when I just want my son back ,Im sure you can relate.

You are right we WILL never be the same again but we WILL be better.

Take care,much love,respect and peace.

I read your comment and just wanted to say that it hit home with me. I lost my husband 6 years ago. He was diagnosed with leukemia in 2000. He passed in February of 2003.

Then on January 17th, 2009 at 3:00 A.M. there was a knock on my front door and a policeman standing on my front porch. I was told my son had been in an accident and I needed to get to the hospital. I was alone so I drove myself. When I got there, I was told my older son Mike was injured, but my younger son Brian, who was in the passenger side of the car “didn’t make it”… It replays over and over in my mind and it still is hard to believe that I won’t ever see him or hold him again (in this lifetime). This site has really helped me tremendously. We WILL get through this Scott….Keep the Faith
You are in my prayers. God Bless. Judy
