On this day, sixteen years ago, my 18-year old son, Sean Michael, son of Judy, brother of Cindy, was killed in a single car accident. I think of him every day of my life. I miss him as much today as I did 16 years ago.
The moral of this story: Tell those you love that you love them. Tell them every day, because you just can’t predict what the next day will bring.
I love you Scout……

MadMike, my condolences for your profound loss of years ago. No, we never do forget … even after the passage of so many years. Our losses remain in our hearts forever.

So very sorry Mike, no words can ever express the grief a parent feels when they lose a child. Yes, it is very painful, I know.
With that I will have to call my son and let him know that I do love him even though I had words with him the other day.
Thanks for snapping me back into reality.

My first cousin-like-sister lost her 18 year old daughter about 20 years ago. I watch her struggle with the hurt and loss to this day. So, I have a small, very small, understanding of your your pain but there is no real comprehension until you are forced to experience it yourself. I can only open my arms and send you warm hugs, which I do.

Mike, I gave my youngest a Just Because I Love You hug, and called my big girl to tell how much I miss her and love her.
That thing I wrote a while back man, in a spiritual sense, I believe somehow your spirits will meet again.
All our good thoughts go out to you.

Mike – These words Tell those you love that you love them. Tell them every day, because you just can’t predict what the next day will bring. Is what people should take away from this. With you man.

To all of my friends: Thank you. I had actually planned to close the comments for this post but I forgot. You see, once you get in your 90′s, like Holte, who was supposed to remind me, life can be very precarious indeed. Bless you, not a God thing, but hell you know what I mean

I have no words to offer that can even come close to express my sorrow for your loss. Take care and you are in my thoughts.
