Hipaagrammy's Journal, 12 October 2014

My son, Allan (DS#2) would have been 40 today. He died almost 16 years ago at the age of 24 from an alcohol overdose at a Sorority Christmas party at the University where my husband taught (and still teaches). I have worked through the grief and depression, but there is still a sadness for all the time we have missed having him as a part of our family here on earth. I take his birthday and also the date of death as opportunities of celebration. His birthday as a celebration of his life and the time we had with him, and the date of his death as a celebration of his new life in heaven. I can almost hear him singing his favorite praise song (Lord We Lift Your Name On High) along with all the angels!

Make each day spectacular! And hug your kids ~ even the grown-up ones.
