| I just wanted to tell you that when I began this site three years ago, I did it out of desperation. I had lost my son almost a year before, and was silently going crazy in my need for someone to talk to.
I never dreamed at that time that there would be so many of us. So many mothers just like me. So many of you reaching out to say "I understand". You all have no idea how much your stories have touched my heart. Even after three years, I look in that guest book every day, and I read every last one of them. Often, I will be reading one aloud (over my shoulder) to a friend, or family member... and just burst into tears. Your stories are all so different, and all so heartbreaking. I suppose that is because all of our stories end the same way. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for reaching out and saying "Hey Kelly, you know what? You're not crazy. I felt exactly the same way." Hearing from all of you has meant more to me than you could ever know. Isn't it funny...when I made this site I never actually expected anyone to find it. Not in a place as vast as the internet. It was a form of "self-therapy", me pounding out all these thoughts on a keyboard like a crazy woman.... but we've had thousands of visitors, and received hundred of letters from other grieving moms. Three years ago, I would have never believed it. Maybe fate steps in and helps us find each other. Anyway, I just really wanted to say thank you to all of you. In sharing your stories, you help the next mom who finds this place to feel safe, and know she is among friends. You are all brave women, and I don't posess enough I'm sorry's" to ever tell you how sad I am that you have all lost a child. Today is Sept. 11, 2006. I have not added anything new to the site in some time, but I feel the need to reach out to a lot of you. Therefore, I will be adding some additional pages over the next couple of weeks. When I created this site, I was in 'one' stage of grief, but sadly, we pass through many stages before we find any balance. Mothers come here who have just lost their children, or some who have lost them years ago. Time is of no consequence, for grieving moms remain so for the rest of their days. It has been four years now since my son's passing, and I feel I have more I can offer to the other moms at this point. So, for that reason, I will be adding some more recent thoughts. Thank you all for your support over the last three years. You all reached out in kindness to tell me I wasn't alone. Much Love, Kelly ****************************************************************************************************************************************** It is now 2008. We have had 25,000 visitors, and together, we Moms are now on 5 years together and counting. Thank you again for all your love and support over the years. Bless you all- ~Kelly~ |
