Hi JL,
WOW! That was a surprise ending, after reading what I thought was a conversation or memories being recalled. So sad. It reminds me of my "Grieving Hearts Heal" Series, Restorying Endings piece. Nothing amiss here to suggest revising. Thanks for sharing. Jan :-)

Comment from Aussie
Unbearable to lose a child. Hopes and dreams would have been your focal point and then...dreadful loss. My commiserations for that loss. Still, one must go on and rely on memories. Keep dreaming and you have an anchor to throw to keep you in a special dream. Love, Kace.

Comment from Joan E.
Hello, again--glad to see your shirt pop up once more, which me gives a chance to acknowledge how clever it!
As I read your outpouring of emotion, I thought of my forty-two-year old only child and how precious he is. Thank you for sharing your loss but also how it taught you "the gift of selflessness". Warm regards--I wish I had the six stars this poem deserves- Joan

Thanks for your good wishes--the new medication I'm taking for my Peripheral Neuropathy seems to be causing more problems than benefits. I'll decide today with my doctor if I'll continue taking it. Enjoy the holiday weekend- Joan

This is heartbreaking, but so beautifully penned.
The imagining of this child as he grew into a man
is poignant and heartfelt and perhaps comforting in
some ways.
Thank you for sharing.
A beautiful piece of writing.

Thank you ever so much for stopping by to read and review my work. I think anyone who has suffered a great loss always imagines what if. I think it is normal.

Very poignant and a huge surprise t end this description of a son grown into maturity. Made me think about my Mom losing my brother at 6 wks old, her deep sadness. Very original and heartfelt.

frogbook,
I am sorry to hear. None of us are ever prepared to look upon death. But the human spirit manages to continue amid the loss.
thank you so very much for stopping by to read and review. I am honored..
