I'm sure your getting a lot of...hi melissa.... I'm sure your getting a lot of messages lately, but I wanted to send this 1 out to you. When I was 21 I was widowed. The best support I got from people who understood me was from a website: www.ywbb.org. In fact if you do a search for ALEXA you will find some of my posts on there from when I was very first widowed. <br /><br />I think this was the best support for me because even though I lived in a bigger city, most of the people who were going through "widowhood" like me were a lot older. None of them we even remotely my age, so I felt like they didn't understand how I felt. <br /><br />If there is ever someone I know who has to go through the most terrible situation & heartache of losing a spouse, I feel like it's my calling to send them to this site. It helped me SO much, because there were so many people there that helped me along my journey in grief. <br /><br /><br />Here is a big hug to you girl... I know exactly what your going through. Just remember each day is a new day & each day is a day longer than you can simply breathe in & Out... <br /><br />Take care & god Bless<br />Alexa AppellAlexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864068231642188735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737418951740708809.post-30296446412735486802010-07-17T12:41:31.713-07:002010-07-17T12:41:31.713-07:00Melissa,you don't know me or my wife but we li...Melissa,you don't know me or my wife but we live 2 houses down from you (towards the corner). I first off want to express my sympathies to you and your kids and also the rest of your extended family. I want to tell you that I am so glad to hear you are having good days with your kids and enjoying every last moment treasuring all of Colin's memories with them. I also want to let you know that things will continue to get better each and every day. My wife and I lost our first child just hours after birth and as you have mentioned before that you could never see yourself having to plan Colin's funeral at such an early age, we can relate. We also felt the same way, how was it that we were having to deal with the death of our son, a parent should never have to bury their child. Anyways, as each day passed, we did start having good days again and even great days. We continue to and always will treasure the short time we had with Nicholas just as you will with Colin.

As I have said so many times in this blog, I am truly inspired by your grace and dignity. It is so good to hear that you and the boys are having "fun", something that all three of you deserve, in spades. <br /><br />All my love,<br />Aunt DebbieDebbie and Brian Burritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853762528219721363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737418951740708809.post-36853045600680509922010-07-17T00:54:53.864-07:002010-07-17T00:54:53.864-07:00To the world Melissa you are doing the most amazin...To the world Melissa you are doing the most amazing thing - you are getting through! Simple and boring is a blessing! Everyday is a blessing. Every breath, every step, every tear, every memory - you have showed us God's grace, and you have truely felt it. You are an amazing woman and you continue to inspire. I have no idea what to expect when I get to heaven, but I hope to meet Colin and shake his hand and tell him thank you. And if ever our paths cross on this earth I wish to thank you as well. You will never know how you have touched my life. Your strength and your journey have helped to put my christian walk back on track, of course I walk in heels :) so I still stumble, but as soon as I log on I am grounded and thankful and I always say a prayer for you, and your boys. <br />God has used Colin to save so many, including me. <br />Thank you for allowing us to continue to follow your journey, you have truely been a blessing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737418951740708809.post-11687255516873684222010-07-16T23:08:13.457-07:002010-07-16T23:08:13.457-07:00Simple and boring are wonderful things!!!!!! enjoy...Simple and boring are wonderful things!!!!!! enjoy your time....thinking and praying for you often.....live...laugh...loveJulienoreply@blogger.com
