| In Memory of my beautiful son Jason, gone 3 long years today. I've thought so many times of that day ... and would give anything to have it to do over. To see his smile, feel his touch, hear his voice ... just once more. The more time that passes, the farther away he seems ... except in my heart, where he will always be and I will never, ever forget.  6/28/77 ~ 2/2/05 ~ February Song, by Josh Groban ~ Where has that old friend gone Lost in a February song Tell him it won't be long Til he opens his eyes, opens his eyes Where is that simple day Before colors broke into shades And how did I ever fade Into this life, into this life And I never want to let you down Forgive me if I slip away When all that I've known is lost and found I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day Morning is waking up And sometimes it's more than just enough When all that you need to love Is in front of your eyes It's in front of your eyes And I never want to let you down Forgive me if I slip away Sometimes it's hard to find the ground Cause I keep on falling as I try to get away From this crazy world And I never want to let you down Forgive me if I slip away When all that I've known is lost and found I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day Where has that old friend gone Lost in a February song Tell him it won't be long Til he opens his eyes Opens his eyes ...

| ((deedee)) Once again, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I always struggle with the fact that although he is no longer in pain, you will always have pain that remains. Big hugs from mom to mom Cats |

| I know Deedee. There is much I wish I could do over. Three years. It doesn't seem possible. I just know we are going to see our boys again. Happy Birthday Jason. Sending my love and hugs Deedee   |

| (((Deedee))) it's 3 years already and they must have been 3 very long ones for you. I will light a candle for Jason today. I admire and respect your love and strength and how you help so many other people who have found themselves bereft and despairing, you have helped me more than you will know. It is your day and Jasons and the rest of your familiy's. I wish you peace and joy when you think of your beloved Jason. hugs Annie |

I feel the same as Indigo; you have helped me through some very rough times and so many others...You are a light in my life and I want you to know...you and Jason are never far from my thoughts.

| I want to thank you all for continuing to lift me up, as you have so often these past years. I honestly don't know where I would be without this place ... I have so often wanted to just give up. Time softens the edges, but the pain and horror of my son's death is always there. After 3 years of being in limbo, I feel I'm at a crossroads, just trying to figure out what to do next, so that Jason's death won't be in vain. I've been thinking about getting involved in Suicide Awareness ... never realizing before how many lives are lost this way ... and the thousands of mourners who are left behind, trying to understand why. So I pray for acceptance and peace and the motivation to do something, anything to make a difference. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change The courage to change the things I can And the wisdom to know the difference ... Amen |

| Deedee, It does seem like time has flown by, though I'm sure it seems like such a long time for you and your family. You are always an inspiration to me. |

| (((((Deedee))) Thinking of you and praying for you and Jason too. I hope that the weekend was not too difficult for you and that your memories of your loving son warm you. You are making a difference right here, with the compassion, friendship, support and strength you offer to all at SR. I know that you will be open to wherever HP leads you next. Hugs |

| {{{deedee}}}} With love and some extra hugs, my thoughts & prayers on your behalf are for even more strength and serenity than you have shown to so many here on SR. Whatever you decide to do as you consider your future, you will impact those around you and that is a most wonderful tribute to your son. jmho...as long as you continue to just 'be you' Jason's life and his passing will never be in vain. |
