Reevo I've always admired you for being so up front with it despite what must be incredible pain. You have strength I'm not sure I have.

Actually, and thank you Card Fan for the sentiment, is that I feel better when I talk about him. I have been watching a ton of his recruiting videos lately and it gives me a feeling he is still around though I know he is gone. Believe me, I have some pretty awful days but I know deep in my heart our time on this earth is short and we will all be reunited again. We have to believe that or we would go insane with grief and pain. Having 2 other children help you live and any good man steps up for his wife and family when life turns upside down. We are fortunate to have a strong support group and believe it or not, you all help. Even my battles with the kid over the years is therapeutic.'you have to have an outlet and this site truly helps. I thank you all for that!

reevo, I too would like to express my condolences. Appreciate and understand that it is often better to talk about the situation than to keep it inside. I too believe we have that opportunity to be reunited again and that has to help with the healing process that you too believe that way. Thank you for sharing and allowing us to be a part of your grieving process. God Bless

I do know our time here is short and we all must make the best of it. I have no doubt that we all will be together again. I am quite sure you are helping your daughter and grand kids every day with your positive messages and that will lift them up. Not much you can do but live for today and see what tomorrow brings. Unfortunately, that is all we can do.

Reevo, I was not aware of the situation with your son. I have lost three members of my immediate family in the last ten years, my sister, father, and mother. I have not lost a child but the loss is still there. There is nothing that will fill the void in your heart but I can assure you over time the tears of grief will be replaced by smiles when you remember your son. I truly hope this comes sooner rather than later.

Reevo....losing a child any child at any age has to be the absolute worst for any parent. Prayers to you. Just found out two weeks ago my 34 year old daughter with two sons has MS...we just never know why...sorry again.. MS is not ALWAYS as bad as we know that it can be. It can be pretty devastating to get that initial diagnosis because of how bad it can be. I myself have MS and have KNOWN that I've had it since 1992. Pretty much think I've had it since the early 80's although means of diagnosing weren't real good back then. I have my worsening issues with stability and gait, but five or so years ago, virtually no one was even aware that I had the disease nor any problems. Tell her to hang in there. Get a good MS Specialist, not just a Neurologist, exercise as much as possible, join a support group if she kind find a good one, avoid stress and be extremely thankful for every day that she wakes up and hasn't worsened. Would be glad to talk with her if you think that might help.

Take Comet up on that offer Kid. EVERYONE needs to know they are not the only one fighting a fight, Whatever that fight is. My brother and I took care of my Mother for 3 and 1/2 years when she was battling old age and senility. Every other week 24 hours a day, alone. It really helped when I talked to other care givers. They understood what we were going through and we exchanged care giving tips that really helped. Just to talk to someone who understands is a relief.
