Lorraine said… Grace, your foundation sounds like a wonderful tribute to your son. I too have started an organization in memory of my Silas ~ http://www.sysfund.org. We help young adults with cancer by funding meaningful gifts and integrative therapies. It does not make the pain of losing Sy go away, but it does help to know that I can pay my son's generosity forward. My thoughts are with you~ Lorraine

dearest grace, i dont know if we ever spoke before, but i think WE CAN BE REAL FRIENDS. i lost my daughter who had cerebral palsy, in april of 2008.
the pain - i know, i know, i know, i promise. jessy also had seizures. and there is something we have in common, not just having lost a child, but a child with special needs. there is such a different kind of attachment we have with these children, which i think no-one can appreciate.
please write me any time on sentimentals@absamail.co.za
and then i'll give you my facebook name
and you can see all about jessy and me there.
and i would love to hear about you and your son, and share our very very deep pain.
lots of love, janice

Helping young children remember
My mom died suddenly on April 6, 2013. My 2 1/2 year old son and her simply ADORED each other. He lit up for her differently than he did for anyone else, and vice versa. I cannot adequately describe how much they loved each other, and how much I loved seeing it. My second son, who she will never meet, is due July 1.I am very bitter and sad that my children won't know this amazing woman. I know that because of his young age when she died, my oldest son probably won't remember her or how much…See More
