Never Forgotten
My son, Mark41 total reviews
Comment from Wendy G
When writing is so moving and powerful that I come to tears it merits a six. I saw no spags, it was well developed and beautifully written. I am so sorry you had to experience this absolutely devastating and heart-breaking loss. I hope writing has helped even just a tiny bit. To think you later lost your other son. I can't imagine the pain you have been through. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Thank you, and thanks for the six stars. It is just as mind-shattering to lose a child of two months as it is to lose one at age sixteen. Yes, it has helped to write about these times.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
What a sad sweet story about a well-loved child and all the things you knew he missed. It is hard to write about such sorrow and yet a joy to know that others have learned about your wonderful child.

Thank you. I have recieved so much kind feedback on this story. It is wonderful to know that others care. I don't even have any pictures of Mark, but I don't need any. He will live forever in my mind.

Comment from Douglas Goff
This is such a heart breaking story. Mark definitely lived for a reason and purpose and you guys were chosen to be his parents. That is not random, it is fate.
Thank you for sharing this sensitive story. It is a beautiful tribute. God bless you my friend.

Thank you, and thanks for the six stars. I appreciate them. It helps to write about these things. It was many years before I could talk or write about the loss of my sons. There are several others on this site who have lost children too.
Hugs.

What a sad, sad story told from your heart, Prettybluebirds.
You gave readers excellent, but poignant, details about Mark.
Your words were well thought out and very descriptive. I
remember the story about Roy and the hunting accident.
May I ask do you have other children?
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

Thank you for reading and your kind words. It helps to write about these things, but it took some tears to finish. No, I don't have any children. I actually lost three sons. One was premature and died at three days old. This was before Mark and Roy. Thank you for the six stars. They are appreciated.

Comment from Regina Elliott
I wish I had 6 stars, although
this heart-rending poem
deserves so much more. I'm
so sorry, prettybluebirds, words cannot express how
empathic I feel. Bless your
sons' hearts. You will be
reunited with them someday.
Many blessings to you.

Thank you for reading and for your kind comments. I have learned to live with it, but sometimes it sneaks up and flattens me when I least expect it.

Comment from Soledadpaz
Oh, how very terrible for you. And how very joyful to have had him in your life, if even for a moment. A gift that lasts forever. Children may leave, but they stay in your heart and remain a part of you always.
I wish he had been admitted, who knows what fate would have been then. As a mom, my heart breaks for you.
A touching, touching story. Exceptionally well told.

Thank your for reading and the six stars. Both are appreciated. When you lose a child you often find yourself wondering what they would have been if they were still here. It makes for a long, lonely life.

Very nice story. Very sad. I'm sorry that you lost Mark.
My kids were born in 72 and 74, both surprises as to their sex.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for reading and your kind words. Yeah, in those days you never knew what sex the child was until it was born. Times have changed.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is a tear jerker for sure. I feel for you and your husband and for the two year old boy who didn't understand where his baby brother had gone. Thanks for sharing this heartwarming tale of a mother who lost both sons one much later and the other very early on. I can feel your heartache and the sadness in your written tone. This is very sad and nonetheless, you and your husband carried on. Thanks for sharing and caring.

Comment from royowen
I'm so sorry for your tragic loss, those words always seem so empty when written or said, they never ease the pain of losing a child, but a parent can still relate, my sister lost her baby boy when she was in a foreign land seeking medical help which didn't come, he died in her arms, I don't think the pain has ever gone away. Beautifully written, blessings Roy
