You did not knock me to the floor dear Addy. The birth of his grandson has done that...and while I'm down here I need to get on my knees and thank God for a healthy baby.

:grouphug:

Is he the son of your son's son?

I hope you don't mind if I sink down beside you for a bit. :hug:

Yes, I'm a great grandma. :o And I'd love the company down here. :hug:

oh great...now we need to find a place to get group discounts on knee pads. :rolleyes: :p :p :p

:grouphug: we are so awesome huh?

*tear

You're dealing with the longest 'goodbye' that there ever could be.

:hug: Alffe.

My reaction to this new baby has caught me completely by suprise. It's stirred up so many memories and more pain than I realized was still with me. I am getting pressured by family members to "get on" with it.

This is easier said than done. And why do I feel that strangers "get it" more than my own family?

Lara, thank you for understanding. Will "it" never end!!!?

(((Alffe))) :hug:

oh..like duh?

YOU are getting on with it alffe. it is YOUR it. Your life...Your reality now.

yeah...strangers get it. we live with it too.

nah..i can't see why they don't understand that the grief will always be there. any milestone in michaels life that is missed. another loss. this wonderful baby is another loss of his. but...he is here for a reason. he will bring the joy to those who need it. michaels light will keep shining from generation to generation.

:hug:

(((ALFFEEEE))) ((((MR.ALFFEE))) (((BIZI))) :grouphug:

I'm looking for something else..*grin and found this thread. Hope it will help some of you who are struggling.

Still looking for "When There Are No Words".

Hugs for the room :grouphug:
