One of my best friends lost her son yesterday. He was 22 and will be buried next Monday, which happens to be his 23rd birthday. I can't imagine what it's like to her right now. I was visiting with her and her family all day today. All of us feeling numb and in a state of shock. We can't even believe he is gone for good. J was smart, talented, and he enjoyed cooking, playing guitar and piano. He had bright blue eyes and a wonderful smile.
I wonder why God gives us these kinds of challenges in life? What is the purpose of dealing with this kind of intense suffering? Yet, one thing I have always told my dear friend is that she is one of the strongest people I have ever known. She's dealt with many obstacles but never wavered. She loved her son unconditionally and gave him all the support he could ever want and need. What a wonderful gift.
We will miss you J. RIP.
About Me
- marie delacruz
- New York, United States
- I have been blessed with a passion for music. It's helped me connect to my true self. I recently released a debut CD of 11 originals on the label Crazy Daisy Music. It's available on my website (www.mariedelacruz.com) or on iTunes, Amazon, CdBaby or Digistation. When I'm not making music, I'm living my life the best I can. I know it's short and so I try to make the best of it. I'm a positive thinker and plan to keep my rose colored glasses on as long as I can. I love music and the joy it brings me, not only making it but listening to other artists as well. I'm a big fan of WFUV, 90.7 in the New York area. You can find me on Facebook and myspace as well.
