Six years ago on a night much like tonight, is where my mind is focused. My mind tries so hard to pinpoint an instance, a word, anything that would have made me see my son was hours away from leaving this world. 🥹💔

Being a smoker myself if I were Mr. Depp I would be eating them by the bags full. For smokers under stress, that cigarette is a life line.. him being able to stay calm and collected during all that he has to listen to.. lie after lie, day after day is amazing to me! He’s Gold!
My youngest son, he’s 17 brought this home from art class, he said he didn’t like it & I could throw it away if I didn’t want it.. what?! It’s so pretty, I love the colors and it’s going to get framed and hung on the wall!! He smiled! Moms are proud of it all!! ❤️
A memory: When my boys were little they would run through the door yelling “ mommy.. mommy come look at the moon, it’s so big and pretty!” ~ This evening I went outside for some fresh air, looked up and those memories filled my head. 🌕

🚨I am about to get real raw, bare with me, please. In my deep grief of losing our son, I try so hard, so very hard to keep myself above the nastiness, diabolical, judgmental people that thrive off of hurting people. I will never, ever understand the thrills people get off of
On this day 24 years ago it was the Eve of our sons birth. Kenny was to be born 3 month’s premature. On that night we were praying so hard for a miracle, full of fear and the joy of meeting our baby. Tonight, I sit here in so much grief thinking of Kenny’s Birthday tomorrow. 🥹💔
For the past 5 years I couldn’t wait to get all signs of Christmas put away, out of sight. This year I’m procrastinating taking down Christmas. It’s just so beautiful! This is a new tree and I know Kenny would have loved it! 🥰

24 years ago we were blessed with a son who was full of kindness, love and compassion, to have known Kenny means you felt his pure heart and gentle soul.. one that you’ll always remember and forever miss!
Please be kind!

I felt bad for Johnny before, during and after the trial for the mere fact that I’ve witnessed what a person like her can do to a man and his life. They are so cruel and relentless! Even now that the truth prevailed and he has been vindicated, she won’t stop her attacks.

Sending my care, prayers and understanding to all those grieving. 💔🥹🙏🥰
There is absolutely nothing in this world that I wouldn’t do to turn back time 2,459 days and still have our son. To somehow change everything.. I would change places with Kenny in a heartbeat.. parents should have that option. No matter how many days go by, I will still wake up
It took one teacher to tell Kenny that he was trying to read above his reading level when he picked out a book for a report due to his LD. He proved her wrong, he was so proud to hand in that report. His love for reading emerged and his favorite spot was outside! God we miss him!

I would have already asked the judge to tell her to **STOP 🛑 STARRING AT US!** So odd and creepy! To me it looks like she’s trying to be intimidating while trying to seem likeable at the same time 🤷♀️ so hard to put into words the vibe she puts off! Twilight Zone 🤣
I love this side profile pic of Kenny, he was younger here… you can just tell that he is grinning really big ❤️ I miss him so much 💔🥹 He should be here! 😞
Stop 🛑 Bullying!
📚In life Kenny was loved by many and he touched their hearts with his compassion and kindness, in death our son has impacted many in much the same way. Thank you all for helping me advocate and to bring the epidemic of bullying and suicide among our youth to light. It brings us
📚I decided to share our son’s story for several reasons.
• I know that Kenny would want me to do what I could to help others dealing with bullying.
• I wanted to do what I could to save another family from the pain of losing a child.
• I share my grief so others don’t feel
My cuddle-bug, CoraBelle! I’ve had her since she was a tiny kitten and she’s six now. Recently I was really sick with really high fevers.. several times to woke up to her laying at my head licking my forehead!! My nurse!! Cats are amazing!! 😻❤️

Today our 3rd born son turns 22 years old! So hard to believe how fast they grow up!! We are so very proud of the young man he is and can’t wait to see all he accomplishes! This post is from 4 years ago.. watching him navigate the loss of his brother/best friend has been tough!
I share my grief so Angel Parents know they are not alone… grief can feel so lonely, but sadly so many of us understand. By sharing my sons story I hope to save a child/family from our pain. Kenny would want that most.

I had a lady (AH fan) attack me personally and my deceased son 😞 she took the time to go to my page and find the one thing that would get to me, my son. These people are cruel and relentless. And all because I commented that I didn’t trust MSM for the truth! 🤷♀️🤦♀️ plum craziness.
“He was loved so very much; he was funny and smart and irreplaceable in this world, yet these truths were up against every negative and cruel word that people would spew at his face. The inner turmoil he felt I can only imagine because, as if to shield me, Kenny stopped telling

This is sadly very true. 🥹💔 Life after child loss can feel very lonely. Your so glad that no one around you understands your pain but sometimes you wish they would try. Not one more “ He/She is in a better place “ or “ in time it will get easier” because neither of those help
“What no one told me about grief is how lonely it is. No matter who else is mourning, you’re in your own little cell. Even when people try to comfort you, you’re aware that now there is a barrier between you and them, made of the horrible thing that happened, that keeps you
