I Can't Breathe
But you can’t jump the track, we’re like cars on a cable,
And life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe ~ Anna Nalick, 2 am
Yesterday afternoon Funsize began bleeding. 911 was summoned and after an emergency c-section and 30 minutes of valiant effort by the doctors, my beloved grandson joined God as our angel.
As I held his tiny body with one arm and my grieving son with the other, I was seized by panic that for the first time in my life I am unable to make things better. I whispered in their ears my love for them, their beauty, their perfection. He was lovely. And perfect. Perfectly lovely.
I am broken. The pain is physical and grips me. Unable to cry, I stand by silently as I watch my son’s heart shatter into millions of icy, sharp, hard shards.
I cry now, at 4am and am unable to stop. Please keep Funsize and MacDougal in your hearts and prayers.

I’m so sorry seems so inadequate. Prayers and virtual hugs to you and your family. There is no understanding when these things happen.
I am so sorry this has happened to your family.
Our hearts are broken as yours is too, feel so helpless and unable to express the thoughts racing thru my mind. Love to everyone especially your son and daughter in law.

I am sorry, I may be late in reading this, but nevertheless, I will still say a prayer for you and your family. I really don’t know what to say, but I pray for strength for you and your from this painful loss.
Thanks for visiting my site and leaving me a comment. I do not know if you have been at Torrey Pines already, but it is a good place to start hiking, weather is nice and trails are not that difficult.
My prayers for you and your family.

Oh Vixen, I am so sorry – I truly wish there was a magic potion to make the pain go away. All I know to do is pray and breath (repeatedly). My deepest and most sincere sympathies to you and your family.
Oh sweetie. I am so sorry. How terrible and shocking and so damn unfair. I lost my youngest over 12 years ago and I know the pain you and Funsize and Mac are feeling. I will pray for you all. I know nothing can comfort you right now except, perhaps, the image of my Brennan and your Collin together with all the other baby angels playing happily in heaven.
HUGS!!!!!!
Words can’t express how sorry I am for the loss of your grandson. I don’t know you – I just found your blog- but I can’t think of a more painful thing to happen to a family.
I will say a prayer for you and all of your family.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Crying for and with you can fix nothing, but it’s the only thing I’ve got. That and prayer. Your family will be in my prayers. God bless you all.
{Hugs}
Praying for you and your family… ((HUGS))
