Guest TinasTroops Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The end has come for the most extraordinary life to ever cross my path, honored to be his mother is an understatement! Shy of 14 ½ years old my beloved Booker, Booman and fondly Boobie decided it was time to visit his brother Tilt & sister Cyah over the bridge. I will be eternally grateful for the 9 years you gave me; you far exceeded my expectation with your zest for life, determination and stubbornness. Life will never be the same, I am saddened, yet so proud of you for all that you accomplished and the successes in your life here on earth. Boobie, I love you and miss you terribly but so proud of the life you lead. Will post more and picture later.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
