Stories of Lost Children
My Sweet Justin
by Diane Cowgill, Glenview, IL, U.S.A.
I have posted on this site twice in last 3 1/2 years. I lost my son Justin (1-2-04) when he was 13 years old. It was by far the worst day of my life. I thank god for his younger sister who is now older than him (14). This has been a bitter sweet time for me. My son would of been graduating from high school with his friends on 6/1. My daughter is graduating from 8th grade, which was the grade Justin was in when he died and entering high school which he did not. So many mixed emotions and many tears. I miss my son so very much and think of him everyday. I wear a bracelet that say's Always and Forever on the top side and when you flip it over it say's Forever in My Heart and Always on Mind. I have worn this for 3 1/2 years. One of the songs that we played at my son's wake was The Dance by Garth Brooks and it truly is how my husband and I feel. I could of missed the pain but I would of missed The Dance. We had 13 wonderful years with Justin and yet I never would of imagined that I would have to spend the rest of my years without him here. My heart will never be whole again.......not until I meet him in Heaven and I will wait for that day when he comes to me and say's to me "Gimme a hug" how I miss my hugs from him. I love you Justin ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!
