All of us Moms,who have lost a child,
share each others loss and pain...
We have a common bond,
Not one that we would like or want,
But one that God has chosen to bestow upon us
Since He wanted Our precious
children home with Him
To share in His heavenly happiness,
His streets of gold,
And to wrap our children in His loving arms
and keeping them safe forever more...

Scott was born on May 26th 1970,
He was the second of twins who were born 10 minutes apart, his sister Renee' came first...
I almos lost both of them
(and I to almost died as well)
I had toxemia, My doctor didn't realize
that was my problem, until it was to late
to do anything about it (Thank God)...
He said that if he had known he would
have had to abort the pregnancy
to save my life...
Although I only had Scott here for such a short time I thank God for every moment we had with him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I often wish that had I NOT let him leave me...
He had just left where I was working...
I wish I told him NOT to get on that bike,
NOT to go ANYWHERE...
I have blamed myself for not
telling him these things...
As Moms we think we should
protect our children always,
Then we find out that we can't always be There,
We can't stop them from scratching the knees,bruising themselves and
all the other things that happen
when we blink our eyes...
But we still blame ourselves !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I did find in such terrible shock and grief that there was one moment to be grateful to God,
At first it was reported that his sisters
were on the dirt bike with him,
Much to my horror of losing Scott
I was thankful to still have his sisters.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On August 4 1986 my son Scott became an angel...
He was riding his dirt bike...
A single lane dirt rode...
On his way to his friends house...
A car came around the curve
The same time as Scott entered it...
They hit head on...
My son, Hopefully, did not know what hit him...
He died instantly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is so strange how small the world is,
The drivers' sister is married to Scotts First Cousin!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We could not view Scott during his funeral so the picture (above) is the one we placed on his casket...
His last picture made at school...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These things aren't for us to question,
and I try not to,
But for those of us who have lost our children,
It's awfully hard,Isn't It?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Beautiful Son I Miss So Much...
Thank You for visiting my son Scott...
Please leave a note in his
Guestbook so I know you were here...
Thank You.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You never said "I'm leaving",
You never said "Good~Bye"...
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows WHY...
A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried...
If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died...
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still...
In our hearts you hold a place
No One Can Ever Fill...
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For apart of us went with you...
The day God called you home...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If I could have a lifetime wish,
A dream that would come true,
I'de pray to God with all my heart
for yesterday and you...
A thousand words can't
bring you back,
I know because I've tried...
And neither can a million tears,
I know because I've cried...
You left behind a broken heart,
And happy memories to...
I Never Wanted Memories,
I Only Wanted You.
