Don't Be Afraid / Yvonne Sheppard (mom)
Say my son's name to me. Don't be afraid. He is gone from the physical world,,but he isn't now, nor will he EVER be, a part of my past.
Don't be afraid you are going to upset me. I am upset already, and always will be, even if it isn't showing for the moment. Along with the tears, comes great joy and love, just because of him. I had him for 24 years, he was and IS the source of great joy.
I WANT to talk about him. The love I have for him, and, the love he has for me has kept me alive.
Don't expect me to "get over it". Because I will grieve forever, it doesn't mean I am "dwelling on it".
Because I chose to survive doesn't mean I don't love him. I am , and will continue to honor him by being as happy as I possibly can, and NOT let him down by laying down and dying.
May God be with you always,
Yvonne
p.s. Josh Vonnie LOVES YOU SO VERY MUCH!
