Stories of Lost Children
Empty and Lost
by Angela Miller, Houston, TX, U.S.A.
In 2003 I lost my 2 yr old son Garrett Lee Taylor, with no apparent cause of death, 5 years have passed now, Although at the time I didn't I’d ever make it another day I knew I had to be strong because I had two other children to care for, so I did, I returned quickly back to work and continued my everyday "life", although It was never like before. Now 6/30/2008, my oldest son Justin Wayne Miller committed suicide by overdose. I am once again left lost and empty. This time though seems to be even harder to cope. Justin was a great sensitive, compassionate, caring kid. Somehow he got lost in this fast paced world we live in. Justin always tried to be older than he was, in this day and time children try to grow up too fast and this is what happened to my baby of 17 yrs. of age. I loved him sooo much, I just hope he knew hope much I loved him. His brother Sheldon is 14 yrs old and has had a terrible time coping with losing 2 brothers. His says to me Mom I’m so heart broken, I just don't know how to help him other than just listening to him and letting him cry with me and talk about the situation and tragedy we are both going through. Their father recently became paralyzed after a terrible car accident. If anyone can relate, please contact me at my email address to we can share our grief. Signed, Empty and Lost
