Finally writing my book!

My beautiful son Alexander passed away in 2003 from a congenital heart defect. It was the hardest time of my life and I still have my moments where it can be unbearable. The ladies here at Two Peas rallied around me and helped ease the pain of the loss that I was going through.

One thing that has helped me through the loss of my son is receiving the many signs that he has given me thougout the years. I have finally decided to fulfill my dream and write a book that collaborates various stories from people who have had signs from beyond, including my own personal story and signs from my beautiful son.

Up until now, I think the grief and pain was too fresh to write this book, but now it has been over eight years and I feel that this book will be extremely cathartic for myself and for others in a state of sadness and grief.

After my son died, I read a lot of books on the “afterlife” and experiences that people had with their loved ones after they passed away. These books made me feel like my son was closer than I realized and that all of the “signs” I had been given were not mere coincidence, but pure love from the other side.

In this book I will reveal many of the signs that my son has given me and explain his entire story. Alex’s life was only 22 days long, but his memory will live on forever and hopefully through this book, he will touch even more lives.

Please feel free to email me with any questions, and if you want to be a part of my book, I would love to have you! I appreciate and cherish each and every story that is given to me and will hold it in the highest regard.

Please email me your stories to be considered for publication in my book.

What a wonderful way to pay tribute to the ones we miss so dearly.

Missing my son on his birthday today…

Happy 6th Birthday my sweet Alex!

Today you would be six years old! So hard to imagine what you would look like. I bet you would be adorable and so much fun to play with. I hope you got the balloons we sent up to heaven to you today. Dad, Samantha and I all wish you were here with us. Life is not the same without you, Buddy….

Although you are gone, I am still so very grateful I am your mommy and you are my son.

My heart and my empty arms still ache for you, and probably always will.

I love you ALEX!

Always & Forever,
Mom

Rest In Peace Daddy…

I am very sad. My father passed away last Wed morning. My sister and I had to travel 8 hours to be with him. He was on a vent after struggling with pneumonia. We found out he had a massive stroke and he needed to be taken off the vent, according to his wishes….

It was so awful watching him struggle for breath for eight hours. My sister and I sat with him from 10pm to 6am and it was utter torture. We prayed so hard that God would lead him into the light, but he wasn’t ready… My sister and I were so emotionally and physically exhausted we thought it would be best if we went to the hotel around the corner and got some sleep for a short time…well, only 2 hrs later the hospital called us and said to hurry and get there, his stats were dropping.

By the time we got there, the monitor was off and he was gone…My father’s body was vacant of any life. My knees were weak and I just wailed. I am sure the nurses and everyone heard me, but I couldn’t help it….I will never hear his voice or his stories again, and that breaks my heart.

I didn’t have a very good relationship with my dad, but in the past few years I feel we have grown closer, and I am so thankful for that….

I am drained and consumed……overwhelmed and  still in shock….

Rest in Peace Daddy, we will miss you!!!!!!!!

Memories of Alex….

  I just added this link and wanted to share it with everyone…

 A wonderful gal from Two Peas in a Bucket made a beautiful tribute page for my son Alex not long after he passed away. I am soooo very grateful to her for doing that for me.  I just love this page. Please check it out. It means a lot to me.

Just click on the little picture of my baby angel, and it will take you right there. Thanks!
