Please accept my condolences and
sympathy on the loss of your son.
I cannot imagine the tragedy, or the
aftermath of your experience. Your
piece expresses some of it - I'm sure you
take much joy from the memories. Thank you
for sharing this painful part of yourself. Carolyn

A Marvelous Monday morning to you poet friend!
A very somber poem, Pupa. I am sure he would be honored and this was a great way to remember him. My heart goes out to you and I pray for God's grace to embrace your heart. Loyd

Very powerful words written here. Certain events such as attending a wedding can bring flashbacks of memory of a very sad loss in losing ones son.

I liked the style you wrote these words that were powerful and sad.

Oh, PUPA:
I am so very sorry. Special events like
weddings must be especially painful for
you. I just came home a couple of hours
ago from a friend of mine's home who had
just lost her 28 year old son in a head-on
collision not far from my house. She and I
were in Lamaze class together and our children
grew up together. This was especially close
to me tonight. Godspeed, my dear friend.
Love, Jan

My dear Pupa,
This beautiful heart-felt letter touched my heart in a place that only you, and other mothers who have lost a child, could ever know. I too, write letters my son who now, also lives in a more beautiful place. I believe they do know one another.

My heart loves your heart and understands fully the pain you will forever bear. There is no greater broken heart than that of a mother who outlives her child.

Have a magical day,
Razz

Hello PUPA,
You have handled this delicate subject in such a loving manner. Your poem is truly heart touching. I love the way you state: "your new life has begun; I am still imprisioned while you are free." What a beautiful attitude. Thank you for sharing this wonderful inspirational poem.
Hugs, Whizpurr ^-^

A poem of beauty and tenderness, that
is filled with tears and poignant feelings
that come straight from the heart.
I am sorry that such a poem of love and
warmth for a son whom you have lost is
biographical. You have indeed touched
my heart and soul with your soft, gentle
writing that brings tears to the reader's
eyes as he reads your words of love and what
would have been. In your heart he will always
be that tall, handsome son.
Although we have never met, please accept
my heart-felt condolences.







Although we have never met, please accept
my condolences.

pupa,
wow~ thirty-three. i know that has to feel like forever especially since he has been gone so long. i can feel your anguish. feel your heartbreaking even today. i understand. i get the same way every labor day when it's the anniversary of my son's having his life stole from him and he is still alive. i don't think it has anything to do with forgiveness as much as missing what could have been. my son will be 29 oct 1st. no wife. no children. sigh. forever eight.
love,
barbara

How tragic, to have to imagine the wedding of your son, the first grandchild he would father, when you lost him far too young at the age of nineteen - this is a heartbreaking but beautiful letter to him, Pupa. My heart is with you. Brooke

Hi Pupa...this is a beautiful poem written to your son on what was to be his birthday. No parent should ever have to bury a child...there is something so unnatural about that. I felt heart broken as I read your words and wondered it I could ever survive the loss of a child. This is so beautiful...my prayers are with you.....blessings....chey
