Because Ma Vie Rose spent so much time on this forum, I thought it would be appropriate to post this here and on the prayer forum too. Ma Vie, resrzjilk@verizon.net just discovered that her 21 year old son died a few days ago in the Phillippines of meningitis. The story of their life together is heartbreaking, and now he is lost to her. She is isolated in a little desert town. I am certain that she would appreciate any emails of consolation. Her grief is almost more than she can bear.
a tragedy
Oh, dear - my prayers are with her - thank you for telling us.
How sad for her! My prayers are with her.
Prayers & Hugs,
Judy
Although she and I communicate otherwise, I wanted to post here in regocgnition of her tragic loss. To lose a loved one is so very difficult, but to lose a child has rank at the top of the list.
Ma Vie, I am so very sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers. There are no words to ease your pain but always know we do care and share your sadness. God bless you and be with you, Love, Margo
Ma Vie, I'm new here and never saw any of your posts but I read of your loss. I'll plant a tree in honor of your son. I'll hold you both in my heart and pray your pain to ease. Steve/Yarapa
It saddens my heart everytime I hear of another mother that has lost a child. Ma Vie, I will hold you up in prayer as you go through this very difficult time. I know that the pain you are suffering seems unbearable.
Hugs, Patricia
Oh, Mavie, I can't express in words how sad I am to hear this news. My heart breaks for you in your time of sorrow. I pray that God will ease your pain and leave you with all the good memories you have your son. It's hard to know what to say at such a devastingly sorrowful time.
Ma Vie,
I'm sorry about the loss of your son. Your are in my thoughts and prayers.
Ma Vie, I also know the pain of loosing a child. I hope these wishes of love and support are of some comfort to you. Know you are not alone. I wish you healing and strength during this sad time. Trust in the strength of prayer coming your way from all of us.
Thank You Everyone, i am deeply touch and very appreciative for all the love and support i get from DG. you all are not only friends, but are family to me. i would like to write further but it hurts so bad to be reminded of the tragedies my children and i had to endure. my children were abducted by their father after he abandoned us, when they were a toddler. i met them only once in 1983. my brother prearranged our meeting, and funded my trip to the Phil. to meet with my son and daughter cuz i was on the verge of a nervous breakdown... my brother thought that will have preserve my sanity... if i see them.
on a lighter note: Steve what a co-incidence u have to mention about planting a tree. i thank you very kindly. Vonvon mentioned, in one of his email a promise to take care of me in my old age, and at the same time re-create the garden i once had when we were living together and i had my children. another co-incidence on this tragic lost. few... days before i had been hit by this tragic news, i planted some seeds Ada, Dave and Trish, Nat and Horseshoe sent me. the seed packet's note states to wait 3 week for the seeds to emerge. on the date mentioned of vonvon's death, not knowing there is a tragedy, almost all the seeds emerge, as i check them that day, from the note i had in the calendar. some of those seeds are herbs, veggies, vines and trees. i am thinking, is it a way that God and vonvon intended those seed come up, to keep me busy and preserve my sanity?
i am still in a state of shock, the reality has not sink in yet. i sure can use all the support everyone has to spare. i am sorry, i got to go, i am typing, and not see what i type. apart for the heavy flow of tears, i have not sleep since then, the eye sight is not cooperating. this pain is just to too much to bear. if what i have written does not make sense, i hope everyone understands.
Gloria also had another thread at the prayer forum http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/698407/#new
Thank You Gloria, the lovely flowers you sent arrived a few minutes ago. thank you for allowing me to feel the presence of the son i've lost. von has always a flower for me each day when he was young, each morning, he would pick a flower, albeit a weed or from the garden.
Thank You Dave's Garden for making a difference in my life... i know everybody cared and thank you on behalf of my family.
i will sending the same photo to my daughter and this thread for her to know we are not alone in our grief. i know that all my siblings and son Mike are also great full for all the love and support.
