Thank you all, dear understanding friends. Few understand, but I know you all do. I'm so sorry that I haven't been more comfort to all of you, especially recently. My son consumed so much of my time with doctors, errands, courts.
No, I really don't regret much that I did for him - some things, of course.
His little dog is snoring peacefully on my sofa and slept on the bed with us curled up at my feet. He is such a good little dog. Though I hadn't planned on another dog anytime soon, Gizmo is such a comfort. My son would have given his life for that little shihtzu.
I suppose if there is any comfort in the loss of my son, it's that he did pass while on the lake and with his boat. Thankful he wasn't one of the homicide victims in the news. The story did make the news, but as an accidental drowning.
Love and comfort to all of you. I pray that your loved one seeks the light and you have many years of joy in your near future.
