Sincerely Sorry to hear of Katies’ passing on at such an early age. You are right, no parent should or wants to outlive their children. My Daughter is still with us, thankfully, however I have lost her to a separation between her Mother and I. Totally out of the blue, and I believe it is in response to feelings of insecurity on my X’s behalf. Seemingly innocently enough she fears their bond not being ‘The Bond”, One and Only. So she eliminated the competition, me, her Daughters’ Daddy. It’s hard, very hard for our Daughter. Is there a Medical term or condition for such a thing. I wont say I fear for my Daughters’ safety, however it can be a little bothersome in the face of certain situations.

Thanks,

eliminatedad

Roger- What’s strange, but true?

DM- I kiss my daughter every night before bed and I occasionally tuck my 14 year old in.

To those that commented they cannot imagine life without their child that is because you are not suppose to imagined it. Our children are not suppose to die before us.

Miss Bonnie- you would have no choice, but to move on. A day does not go by I don’t think of my daughter, but a thousand tears would not bring her back.

Tammy, my condolences to your loss.

I’m sorry for your loss Rose. As a mom, that is one of my greatest fears. I dont know if i could be strong enough to move on or what i would do without him. I only have one child and i would be devastated. I truly believe the greatest loss in the world is that of a child. And i do cherish every moment with him. Thank you for sharing your story

I’m with you. My son, who is now 35 years old, rides his bike everywhere in downtown Seattle. Two weeks ago, I heard on the news that a Seattle bicyclist was hit by a car, about 5 blocks from where my son works. I did not breathe easily until I talked to him and learned he was okay.

Years ago, a neighbor lady lost her son, in his 40’s, to a sudden heart attack. She was in her 70’s at the time, and she told me it was the worst experience of her life.

So sorry for your loss, Rose. Each day is truly precious with our children.
