Yes, you are right, remembering our children who have died, does indeed bring great joy to their parents...

My husband and I and our other son, who is also an adult now, often talk about our son who died, and we smile, and laugh when we talk about him...

And yes, losing ones child is draining in every way possible...its an experience I would never wish anyone else to ever have, as its just the worst thing possible...to bury ones child....

My son has not as yet married, so we have no gandchildren, but the hope is there, that someday we will...but our adult son, does indeed bring us great joy and is a true blessing to us as well...

Thank you for sharing the stories of the tragedies you faced but overcame, and for the ways in which you dealt with the pain. What a wonderful doctor you had, A&MM. Without his wakeup call you might have not realized how far apart you wee drifting until it became too late. Anyway, your personal insights are appreciated. I'm happy to hear you have grown sons and good luck with the grandchildren :)
