Cathy, we do have more similarities.....my daughters BDay is August 14th, she will be 46.  I was 23 when Donny was born, very young mother.  I was 21 when my daughter was born.  They were very close growing up, because so close in age they always played together and had friends together all the way through high school and beyond.  She misses her brother so bad.  She is a single Mom and he was a new single dad so they did thing together all the time with the kids.  His divorce is a very long story and I am still trying to let go of the anger, hurt and bitterness his X caused our family.  His girls are all grown now, 22, 20 and 18.  The oldest is due to have a baby on Sept 3rd.  We will become great grand parents soon.  Wish he was here to enjoy the happiness that comes with new life.

Here is a picture of him, again similar to your "big guy".  You can also go to my page and view all my family pictures.

Cathy,

I can hear your hurt and wish you didn't have it with this being Donny's 2nd Angelversary.  Having been on this site as a newer member I don't know or recall seeing his upcoming remembrance date.  I was away and sick these last two weeks.  I hope you will look at this differently tomorrow and know no one here would purposely ignore another.  As parents we know what it is be have our children forgotten by others but we KNOW we can count on our new "family" to care and support.  <3 Janet ~ Garrett's mom

Cathy,

I am so saddened to read of the loss of your dear son Danny.  You've come to a good place for support from people who understand and care.  The loss of a child is unimaginable, except to those of us who have experienced, but worsened by circumstances such as yours.  I lost my son Garrett, 21, a year ago Monday 3/3 to suicide but I am prevented from knowing details because of a vindictive ex-husband.  So I don't know exactly how you feel but understand the need for justice in a round about way.  The Grief Recovery Workbook may be very helpful for you in this journey.  Also, I Was Not Ready to Say Goodbye, two books I have found helpful and comforting.  Do your best to take care of yourself and visit when you need an ear.  Hugs, Janet
