>Dear Val,
am sorry for the loss of your son. i lost my son in 2004 he was
22--someone ---a so called friend shot him.
time does seem to fly, and life just seems to go on somehow inspite
of our losses.
am sorry your family has treated you like they have---this is a
very good group and most will help you in anyway they can.
i think most times families just don't know what to say, so they
either say inapropriate things--"(like mine did) or they choose
to say nothing and maybe it will go away it's just a very hard
time for everyone involved.
like you i would love to see and hug my son right now!!! but i
know i will someday again--i will be able to hug him and hear that
great laugh.
congratulations on finding a great man--that will let you talk and
share your memories of your son.
i hope you have a great time at your daughter's wedding--you know
your son will be there in spirit with a great smile for his
sister.
take care,
holly---robby's mom
