Who would have thought that our original meeting from several years ago would lead to the wonderful conversations we have had of late. The loss of a child is the worst thing a mother can experience. His brother's and his Dad and I have all had moments that made us feel he was with us. His oldest brother was the most troubled about not saying goodbye.....and of all people, you brought the message that gave him calm and peace. He shared it with me one day after listening to me talk about my own feelings and experiences. All that aside, I knew I would speak to you again myself. When the phone rang at my son's house and you were on the other end of it and I was alone--you knew it. Your words brought tears as well as calm to me as I listened to you speak of my son. I thought I was 'open' to him. I needed to let him know that I knew he was there and you helped me with that. A couple weeks later, as I was driving, I had his face in my mind and heard his words. I hadn't listened to music in quite a while and have been again since that day. I let him know that I knew he was with me and was more open to telling him just that. I thank you for all your thoughts and how you express yourself to me about my son. Your insight into his habits, appearance and mannerisms is amazing. And, you are right, he has not yet quit smoking but as you have said, he is smiling. I thank you. Carol Phoenix, Az. August, 2007
