(I'm feeling melancholy) | | March 16, 2008
I can't sleep tonight. Thoughts of a life cut short haunt me. Today would have been Beau's 20th birthday. He was born at this exact time twenty years ago. He died in a tragic car accident on June 14, 2007. Oddly enough, he died at the exact time of night that he had been born on this night twenty years ago.
My thoughts have been with his parents, siblings, grandparents and friends today. I whisper prayers in hopes that, somehow, help will come to ease the burden of pain that everyone who knew and loved him are feeling.
Today Don and I drove by the intersection in which he died. My heart felt a tug. I can't imagine the pain and horror of losing a child. Life isn't supposed to be that way. And yet, what is life supposed to be? None of us really know that answer. We are here for a short amount of time in the scheme of eternity. We struggle through and experience joy, sorrow, and every emotion under the sun-- moon--and stars.
Happy twentieth birthday, Beau. You will live on always in the hearts and memories of the lives you touched during your sojourn on this planet. ~Moonchime
