Bob, I have been thinking about this a lot lately and as you may or may not know I lost my sister when she was 23 after a very courageous 18 month battle with leukemia. I was 21 and inconsolable. I did not grow up in what you might call a healthy family, so it was a bit of compound trauma. Now we seemed to have develop the relationships I have always prayed for, but at the time, my whole world just shattered, and there was literally no one to turn to there. Luckily, I had some wonderful friends who somehow helped me hold on...one of them wrote me this note on one of those tiny pieces of paper from a notebook that you keep in your pocket and it meant so much to me that I kept it in my purse until it disintegated...I don't know if it will give you any comfort, but....
he said, " I am miserably inept at giving comfort in a situation like this, but there is still beauty in the world and goodness in you and that will just have to be enough." Somehow those words got me through a thousand sleepless nights. I hope that helps and may this bring you the blessings it ultimately brought me, a reconciliation and true relationship with my parents that is beyond any valuation, one of the true joys of my life.
I hope this doesn't sound trite....obviously, I have no idea what you must be dealing with. You are in my thoughts and I only hope this can help in some small way.

Dear Bob,
Your poem was very beautiful!!! Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your son.
I have a favorite poem which I hope will bring you comfort.
Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you."

Tracy
