Using Ford Barn as an distraction
Will be using FB as a distraction the next few weeks. Please understand if I make errors, or posts do not make sense.
Woke up this morning to my door bell ringing, opened the door to 2 Air Force men. They had come to inform me that early this morning my enlisted 23 year old son had died where he is stationed in Texas. No other details. |

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
What a horrible thing to happen to you or anybody. We are not meant to outlive our children. Nothing will quell the pain but time. I pray you will find comfort ahead as you deal with such a horrible thing.

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
The loss of the child is the hardest. My brother died a young man. Be there for your family it will help as much as them being there for you. Talk about it with the people around you. I found it helped me to explain to all the extended family and his friends. My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow.

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
So sorry for your loss. That is always my greatest fear in watching loved ones leave, that they may not make it back. Being prior military it is one blessing that we never had a loss of life injury during my tours.

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
My wife and I lost a son 6 years ago to some whacked out kid that wanted his car. It wasn't even a popular model. It never makes any sense and you don't ever get over it. You just put one foot in front of the other. It's all you can do. Parents should never have to bury a son or daughter no matter what the cause.
My heart goes out to you. It won't be an easy path. |

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
It is not nature's way for a parent to lose a child of any age. My prayers are with you. I lost a 63 year old daughter to COPD a year ago and life is returning to normal.

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
We lost our son in 2012 and were told last Thanksgiving our daughter had pancreatic cancer. I asked everyone we knew to pray for her and us. I just couldn't handle losing another child, though they are grown ups with kids of their own. Fortunately she is one of the lucky small percentage that caught it early and is supposedly over this threat now. Been a terrible time for us but we feel blessed to have one back for now. All I can offer is my prayers for you and the family. Life goes on, but it is never the same. If you ever feel the need to talk, 925 820 0394.

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
Your son served his country. All of us who did so made our contract with our country to live and possibly die defending her either at home or in foreign fields. Not something we talked about but every man and woman in uniform knows it. It makes us stronger if a bit different. We salute your son and his service.

Thank you for sharing that tragic but encouraging story. The power of prayer is beyond that which can be expressed by words. Our family and children have benefited from it immeasurably. My prayers are with your daughter and your family, and BTW, one of our family's great friends and neighbors survived pancreatic cancer. |

Mein Mitleid, 30 CC!
Life and survival is difficult to understand. God, if there is one, has never been merciful. The fates are unfair. Fates change the lives of the bereaved. I wish youall a lot of strength!

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
We lost a 22 year old son three days after Christmas in 2000. There is no word for this loss. When you lose parents you become an orphan, when you lose a spouse you become a widow or widower, but there is no word for a parent who loses a child.
God bless, Marty |

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
Losing someone without getting a chance to say goodbye is very painful, but I can't image how hard it must be to lose one of your children. I'm so very sorry.
You and your family are in my prayers. |

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
I am so sorry to hear about your son. We expect them to be safe when they are stateside and only worry when they are deployed to a hostile area.
When you are up to it, it would be nice if you could tell us about him and post some pictures of him. Bryan

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
Thank you for all the support/response. It has taken me by surprise. Am feeling/doing a lot better. The amount of support is overwhelming. Offers/Condolences from friends, neighbors, family, even people I barely knew before retirement from where I worked work.
This is unexpected, since I am a bit of a loner. All the response including FB has helped, thank you. Wade |

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
Losing someone is never easy. I lost my wife a few years back, but I am certain that it is something that could never begin to compare to the loss of a child. But I do know that God helped me to get through after the loss of my wife, and I am quite certain that he has a plan that will help you through this time of loss. In the meantime, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God bless you!

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
So sorry to learn about the loss of your son. I lost my 14 yr old daughter to a drunk driver, and can and will forever remember the moment I was told. It was the most crushing thing that ever happened to me. Time will help heal the wound, the memories will always be there so you will never forget, it truly gets better as time goes on. I have a saying that I use to remind myself about friends and loved ones that have passed, " If we never forget them, they will always be with us" May the Lord help you in your time of sorrow.

Re: Using Ford Barn as an distraction
I recently read the obituary of your son in the local paper. It certainly sounded like he was a wonderful young man, and would have been the type of person anyone would want to call a friend. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. As long as there are good memories in your heart, your son is never far away.
God's Blessings, Stew Masche
