Beth's Journey

My journey through the loss of my 13 year old son will reach it's one year mark on February 7, 2012. My life has completely changed. I have completely changed. I am not who I was almost one year ago. I have learned that it is okay for me to do the things I need to do just to make it through my days and to make no excuses when I need to decline to be around others. I have also learned that sometimes, even when you don't really WANT to, sharing your journey makes you feel better. I am trying to learn to trust the path that I am on in my life now. I miss my child every moment of every day. Drew's journey took his life from us - but it also gave life to 4 organ recipients. I know that one day my journey will take me to the place that he is... and I can only hope that what I leave behind on my journey is half as valuable as the lessons left behind by my son.
