3/11/13 My youngest continues to have some difficulty here and there about his father's death and also an odd family rift which happened several years after Kevin's death.
Lately I've noticed him playing a song over and over called "Don't you worry child" by Swedish Mafia. This morning I downloaded the song (it's catchy and fun -- thought it would be a good running song). I listened to the words for the first time and couldn't stop crying. I now realize this has been a coping song for him. I love you Zack - I'm listening and Chris and I are always here for you, buddy -- don't you worry my sweet child, heaven's got a plan for you.
I was bawling this morning when I heard the lyrics.
As
the grief counselor told me soon after Kevin's death, the loss of a
loved one never goes away ... especially for young kids. It's all too
much for their young brains to handle. He told me that through the
years Zack and Austin would continue to go back into grief. Young children relive grief over and over . He was correct. This year was the first time that Zack connected
the fact that Kevin's death day was also my birthday. He was very upset
at school that day and had to come home. This is around the day he
started playing this song. I like to believe it helps him. It also
helps me to share this with others who may face the same thing one day

"Don't You Worry Child"
There was a time
I used to look into my father's eyes.
In a happy home
I was a king, I had a gold throne.
Those days are gone,
Now the memory's on the wall.
I hear the songs
From the places where I was born.
Upon the hill across the blue lake,
That's where I had my first heartbreak.
I still remember how it all changed.
My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
See heaven's got a plan for you.
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Remember sons - What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger: http://youtu.be/CH_dWijufDo

Confessions of a Smiley "Meme" Queen!
Our basic family rules are so simple that even
our new puppy can understand and demonstrate most of them. Be loving,
be thankful, be happy, show compassion, and respect one another. Easy
peasy, riright?
- As parents, it's our job to help our kids learn all of these things. We have and want all the best for them .... we've tried to teach them the above for their future, for their own happiness, for their future bosses, their possible spouses, their possible children and for their and our world. So, young adults and kids out there, help us know that you are "getting" this. Please don't leave us hanging and wondering if all of our parenting was for not.
This meme makes me laugh. vvv How true is this? Please tell me I'm not the only one. So, what I've learned thru the years in regards to this? - Be true to yourself, be kind, but tell it like it is. Speak your truth. So what if "SUDDENLY you are considered the mean one" ;D
This is baloney (of course) but fun. My name is mifute.
