I don’t remember telling you but on Dec10, 2022 we lost our oldest son to an upper respiratory infection ,a medical issue preventing food from being digested and problems with his dialysis program. He was just 46 yeas old. He had been sick since October before he passed.

I’m so sorry, DaylilyDawn. The loss of your son is very difficult to bear especially so when the anniversary comes around. My condolences to you and your family.
That sounds very difficult to bear, I’m sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Terrible to lose your child. My thoughts are with you. X
My condolences DaylilyDawn it is hard to lose child no matter age. Im so sorry 
When we found out he had been born with kidney disease, he was about 2 years old and still very small. At that time his Drs. told us he would be lucky to make it to his 30’s. He outlived that prediction by 16 years. He may have been my smallest child , he made a very big impact on the lives of people he loved.

Thinking of you and sending warmest thoughts. I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child. I’m sure you have a zillion happy memories together to focus on as this anniversary approaches x
I recently found a picture I had taken years ago with a film camera (way before digital) of my two boys at ages 6 and 4. They were outside at the place where we lived before buying the house , and my oldest has his arms wrapped around my youngest in a forward looking hug. and the youngest is trying to get out of it..My oldest would have been 49 this year and his brother is 45. My daughter is in between the boys in age. but she was taller than the boys by the time she was 9 years old and everyone thought she was the oldest. It would shock them when I would say no, he is the oldest pointing at me son

Good memories, Daylily.
That’s a beautiful image to have.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, DaylilyDawn. May you find comfort and joy in your memories, and strength to face this first anniversary of his passing.
It is the 3rd anniversary. He passed away in Dec 2022
I’m sorry, I misread your first post. However many anniversaries, the loss is never something you “get used to”.

You are so right. I lost my mother 22 years ago on New Years Eve. It still feels like it was yesterday. I do have my sisters to talk with but neither one of them knits or sews. Out of us 4 girls i am the only one who does.
