View Full Version : take a moment...
just wanted to ask everyone to tak a moment.. moms grab your babies up.. and give them a huge cuddle..
husbands, grab your wife and tell her you love her.
children.. call you parents and tell them how much you appreciate them.
it may be your last chance you never know...
God, but my family is finding this out first hand.. weve lost another child in my family today. my cousins two year old died this morning..
he was fine yesterday, started vomiting and running a fever of 102F went to hospital.. his sugar shot to about 13-14.. then this morning his little body gave up the fight.
i just wanted to share this.. just to get everyone to take a moment, and tell their loved ones that they love them.
that all the little everyday squabbles dosnt matter, that if tomorrow never came that you love them more than anything today.
thanks for taking the time to read this..
take that extra min. to share your love...

Thinking of you and yours.
A death in one so young is so much harder to understand but you know that and with this you will be invaluable to your family.
Be strong Brandy
Thank you guys.. i heard her on the phone when i was talking to my granpa at the hospital.. they were making her leave him, so they could take him away.. and you could hear her screaming and begging them for him.
it broke my heart and made me angry that they wouldnt let her have him for as long as she was wanting to hold him.
i know how i felt, but i cant imagine how shes feeling.. i look at ben and sam and try to put myself in her shoes.. Lord, they would just need to make that grave big enough for two.
im so sorry to be venting on here.. but i dont know what else to do. i feel so helpless, stuck here no way to get back home.. life sucks at times it really does.
How sad... it's always worse when it's a child I can't imagine the pain you and your family are going through, it's true that life is to short for silly squabbles

Wherever you are brandy, I am sure you are a considerable strength and comfort to your family, in North Carolina and here.

Brandy I think you go into far too much detail, it's horrific to hear of a child dying, I'm truly sorry for your family's loss but some things are really meant to be kept private, reading your post has made me feel sick and depressed.
Maybe your cousin wouldn't want her devastating news plastered on the org, I'm sure I wouldn't!

Hi Julia,
I know what you are saying here,
However ..brandy should feel free to express her emotions in as much detail as she needs to..knowing that she is talking to people who understand both this loss and her back story...she is amongst friends after all!
Karia
Let us know if there is anything we can do.

Please accept my deepest condolences on behalf of your cousin.:(

By gum Brandy, you and your family are having a belting year. Lets hope that's the last of it for a long time.
It's perfectly true that you never know the day! Here's to a better future.

I'm not knocking you Julia, but some of us find comfort in talking the our " family " on the org. At times like this its so good to know you can tell us how your feeling and i for one know this first hand and have had much support in situations i cant deal with on my own. Please don't take offence at this but we ALL need our org family at times. Jan x
Brandy, were all thinking of you and yours. jan xx
thanks guys,
its odd really... being so removed from it all... so distant from the rest of the family. it makes it not seem quite real. i would never tell kandi i know how she feels, as i dont.. i know how i felt and can relate but thats about it. yesterday when i was talking to various family members, they were all saying.. when kandi is ready she will want to talk to you, as you know what shes going thru.. ect..ect..
i told them that i know what it felt to loose a child.. but i could never know what shes going thru. that i would be their in a heart beat if i could. and at anytime she wants to vent, that i would be more than happy to listen.
when i loss tom, i found it easier to talk to you folks, than my family. it honestly hurt to badly to talk to the ones you love most, because you had to deal with their suffering and pain at the same time as yours.
the org is very theraputic!
it will either help you thru a time.. or make you so firey mad that you forget your grief! *grins*
but seriously... you have all been a rock to me over the past year... and heres seriously hopeing that this is the last of the grief for a long long time.

That's so sad Brandy, it must be so much worse when it's someone so young :~(
thats very sad Brandy, I tell my kids every night I love them, I say goodnight, god bless, love you, I have done since they were babes and they are now 21 and 23. Ive had lots of occassions where love ones have died suddenly. Maybe if more people were told they were loved more often, especially teenagers, they would'nt go off e rails.?

Brandy, so sorry to hear of your loss and thanks for posting this and making me for one think.
I have "been at war" with my teenage daughter for a few days now and to think if something were to happen to her while we are fuming with each other I could never forgive myself. Your post has made me stop and think and come to the conclusion that the state of her bedroom isn't really that big a deal - I think I will be giving her a huge (((((((((hug))))))))) tonight instead of another blast because her room isn't quite as tidy as I would like it.
Brandy - i'm so sorry to hear of your loss.
Please take heart in the fact that out of something so sad you have promted people to do something positive - I myself spent the day with my mother and grandmother.
Thank you for poking me in the right direction - I wouldn't have done this today if it wasn't for your post x

Brandy, all of us here on the Org are honoured that you would trust us with your emotions & feelings at a time like this. Most especially as you can't be with your family back home. Communication, trust and love is what life is all about after all. Love to you all. Anne xx
