Hi Patti, I'm glad you made it over here! I have been thinking about you.
I hope that you, Jeff and Ryan enjoy your cruises. I know you'll all miss not having Kevin there, and yes I'm sure it will be bitter sweet. I hope you're all able to make some wonderful new family memories while you're away.
And when you come back, you'll have to jump back into posting - starting off with sharing some photos from your trip!

Hello to you, too, from one Patti to another. First of all, let me extend my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your Kevin. I really can't imagine your pain and emptiness. Glad you are back to work and able to keep busy.
Try to relax and enjoy your cruise. You all need that, I'm sure. And yes, I would bet Kevin would want exactly that for you.
I, too, was mostly lurker at the other board, but have been much 'busier' over here. The mood here just seems so much more welcoming, making if easier (for me, anyway) to post.
Go have a wonderful vacation, then come back and join some old, and some new, friends here on the board. We'll want to hear all about your cruise.

I am trying to post more over here and it has been a lot of fun. Glad you found us! I am so sorry about your son. I hope you can enjoy your cruise with good memories of him! |

Glad to see you here!
Enjoy your cruise, spend some time just thinking of your times with your son Kevin on those cruises in the past. I read all of your posts from the old board on losing Kevin. I hope all of your hearts will heal and you can remember all the good times. I can't give any advise on losing a child, I just know it has to be an overwhelming feeling of loss. Hugs to all of your family.

{{Patti}} I'm glad you made it here. Enjoy your time away. It's certainly deserved and I'm sure you're right, it will be bitter sweet, but I hope serene.

I am so glad that you found your way here. I have been wondering how you are doing. It will be hard to take that cruise, but like you, I do feel that Kevin will be there with you. It is hard to get back to doing things after the loss of a child, especially things that you know they would have liked, It will get easier for you, in time. It has been nine years since our son died and there are still some things that I can't bring myself to eat or to do. It just does not seem fair that I have the chance to enjoy those things that he loved, yet he can't, so I just don't. Life is never the same when a precious part of it is torn away, but you have to go on and know that as long as you exist, they live on in your heart and memories. (((HUG)))

Welcome!

By the end of the first week, they really grew on me but their energy level was exhausting! 
We are about to go on our cruises that he was very much looking forward to. It will be bittersweet without him but I'm sure he would want us to continue on. I truly believe that he will be with us in spirit and we have received many "signs" that he is still with us. My DH Jeff, DS Ryan and I are slowly acclimating to our new "normal" but we all have many moments of sadness.
