Today is the birthday of my deceased son - he would have been 11. I mention this just to share with those who know this that I am OK and that I continually draw strength from him. <p>His strength and courage will always inspire me to face my lesser troubles with determination. When I grow up, I want to be just like him.<p>I am confident that he knows I have tried my best to do the right things for his brother, mother and myself. I hope he approves.

<blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr><strong>Hugs and prayers, WAT...</strong><hr></blockquote><p>Yeah, Dave - what the others said.<p>God loves you very much. He only gives a large measure of trials to those who He knows can handle it. There is NO pain worse than losing a child, but betrayal by a spouse probably comes closest. <p>God knew you could handle both, even though you don't think so. I'm sure the blessings which will be YOURS for "handling" all this for a time will be beyond your wildest dreams! It may not come in this life, then there is a blessing waiting for you in the next....<p> I really don't know what I can say to make this burden of today lighter for you. All I can really say to you is that YOU are the true hero to a lot of us on here, and your son was a very lucky boy to have been your son, even if just for a very short time. I KNOW you will see him again one day in Paradise.<p>Just be assured that WW will ALSO be "blue" today, regardless if you ever know about it or not. You and your son go OUT today, and have a GRAND TIME! Do it for his brother. <p>Prayers for God to touch you and comfort you today.

WAT, My thoughts are with you today. You've been such a great help and inspiration to myself and so many others here. We are truly lucky to know you. I'm sure your son knew what a fantastic man you are. I'm also sure they both know that you're doing all that you can for your family. I wish you all the best.<p>Take care,
Paul

WAT -
Your beautiful child is surely with you each day, giving you strength and the joy of memories with him. You have endured so much, and provide so much strength and wisdom to others.
God Bless.
