This is a blog of my thoughts after the unexpected death of my youngest son. I have started it with the hopes of clearing a jumbled mind. My family as I knew it has changed forever and I do not know how to cope with it, or more importantly, how to help my two other sons cope with the loss of their younger brother. He was the glue that kept them together.

Me & My Sons
I made a slide show of me and my boys . I wish I had some more photos on them small on my computer but digital wasn't around and it takes forever to scan. The slide show is set to a song that meant a lot to me when I was going through a very difficult time in my life many many years ago. My children were young and it was them that kept me going. I can remember hearing the song and singing "when I see you smile" to them and they would just smile from ear to ear for me. They were and continue to be my reason for being. I have done the best I could, it was not perfect but it was always my best. I am thankful that so many times the dirty house waited while we played. I enjoyed my sons as children and continue to enjoy them as adults. I will miss not having Tony present for so many things to come in our lives, but I will cherish the memories our family has created and will be able to look back with a smile and a laugh at so many things. My sons have been my heart and my soul. They helped me push through some of my most difficult moments with just a smile, a kiss, a hug or a simple "Hi mom" with out ever even knowing it. I will continue to create memories with my sons, my husband, Jaime, Ashton and other close family and friends. They will be good ones, although they will not be without a tear. I also know that Tony will be a part of those memories. We will hold him close in our hearts and carry his love with us through the rest of our lives. I can not wait to see him smile again!
