This shows so much emotion despite a few spags. I am glad you advocate for organ donation. It has saved many lives, my friend~Debbie

This is a well-written piece about your pain, your sorrow. I could feel your heartache on every line. I too lost a child and so I can empathize with how you feel especially around her death day and her birth.
I know you're looking for answers so I'll tell you what I've been told. It's god's will for him to go and there is nothing you or anyone else could've done to stop it. Know that Jason is in a much better place and you're still here because you have more to do.

Thanks for that dear but you're not telling me something that I haven't known for quite a while.

Dear Ricky, What thoughts must have been flashing through your head about who was to blame, people involved or "Fate and Destiny" I know you will never forget, but I think it's time to let go and don't drive yourself crazy about what happened to Jason. I have a son that I can't see, and I write poems about him too, but at least he's alive, I can't begin to know what it was like to have ended upwith a tragically dead 18 year old and then giving his organs away on April Fool's Day! I really like your writing though, it is passionate and full of emotion. Dove

when I'm going back over 16 years and who knows how many countless thousands of hours and millions of minutes and billions of seconds the first thing I never had was hate for the driver or the mother first stupidly buying a car to kid couldn't take care of a control he was only 17 secondly I was so confused I didn't know who was the blame my stepdaughter Kyle with her future husband and her child Sasha wouldn't even get out of the car so they obviously felt they knew who was to blame the driver of course everything LED back to the driver being suicidal whether or not that was true I was never able to prove it all I know is he had Connie and callous weighs about himself even going in and back to the school saying s*** happens when people talked about the accident thinking he was cool was he cool know he was deranged full who now is the same just about age as my son would be the low but of course Jason remains an eighteen-year-old above which is so.

What a rough series of days! So many attempts thwarted might be a sign that it is not yet your time. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

The idea for this piece is based on not only today's date 226 so I took 26 days but also so my reviewer's can better understand a little bit more about myself in my life and why I write of course.

Hi Ricky, I can't even imagine the amount of grief you must have been feeling at that time. (But Depakote? All you were going to do was make yourself fat! LOL Take it from someone who knows!) All kidding aside, I hope you have found a way to keep your sanity, through your writing perhaps, I'm not sure I could have. All my best...

Well as beautiful as you are my love as a fellow poet and writer you nailed me right on the head with the fact that journalist crop to get rid of it I've had people who we read some of that works when it comes to this subject telling me I'm torturing myself they don't realize though exactly what I went through to lose not only his son but eight months later...
Your wife.

Ricky, some people don't realize that writing, weather or not you share it, is very therapeutic. Since I was in High School, whenever I was upset about whatever... I wrote out my frustration until I was spent! It made me feel better, if only for a little bit. So write, Ricky... share if you want, don't if you don't want to... shove a ton of it in a drawer and share a little of it. I'm sure there's a lot more than we see here. I'm sure that if I were you I'd have been through an entire Staples full of paper by now, (I like to write longhand) possibly two. So write, write, write, Ricky... especially if it keeps you sane. All my best, Susan :)

Dwelling on such thoughts is unhealthy and to heal yourself you will need to stay away from this kind of writing Ricky, this is just my opinion. It would be good to see you write a poem about the joy of nature and how wonderful life is and how we are privileged to be here in this world to see when some can't and to hear when some are deaf, to touch when some are not free, think about it Ricky, I wish you all the best, love Dolly x

Thanks my dear for your kind review and advise what I've been doing over 16 years for thousands of these similar pieces it's not only to honor my son Jason and also to other people to the beauty of organ tissue donations for the salsa journaling a my situation I'm not reliving this pastime journaling it and sharing it with other writers to learn about I've been well over the deaths now for many many years I suffered when did my grieving. My son knows I'm happy and he's proud of me each and every day I mention him I say these words in the name of Jesus Christ amen and have a blessed day.
